Striper hatchery 5-10
















Met Capt Rich to tie up the boat in the new slip, after wrestling the lines in the wind and getting the boat set we headed out to do some striper fishing. Got some intel there was bait north of the inlet, so headed north marking some bait but not what we were looking for. Decided to go look for some jig fish, working north we could see birds gathering from a long ways off. Made the move and ended up in the middle of acres and acres of bass rolling on the top . Rich took some video we hope comes out because the sheer numbers of bass coming boatside chasing jigs was unreal, really like fishing in a hatchery. we pounded bass on sting o's and storm shads moving around to stay ahead of the school for a couple hours before heading back in. Had one of the "Big" boats known for trolling come so close that his stretch 25 snaged my line while I was fighting a bass , slide down the line and foul hook the bass in the belly.. Glad he heard me whistle and had his fare stop reeling so I didnt get my hand ripped off as I tried removing the hook.
super night on the water doing what we do best Hammer the bass.
ALL BASS RELEASED TO FIGHT ANOTHER DAY.
