4 Hour Trip – Striped Bass (AM)
Fish On!
Scheduled the trip about 6 weeks in advance for my daughter’s 31st b-day. Weather was not good the entire week prior to the trip but was beautiful the day of the trip. The crew worked hard to find fish and try different ways to catch them. My daughter brought in a 20lb striped bass thanks to the hard work of the crew and made her birthday wish come true. Later in the trip she landed a 7 pound bluefish. Thank you Captain Ray and Mate Vinny!
