Opening day of Striped bass season!
Opening day of Striped bass season!
May 18, 2025
Casey, Colby and Trey joined me me for opening day and what a great day it was. We left the dock at 6AM under cloudy skies with possible showers in the AM. High tide was expected at around 8AM. perfect conditions for some shallow water fun. We hit our first spot which has a mix of sod banks and tree stumps. The stiff SW wind made it hard to stay close for too long. Then we got an alert on the VHF about a severe Thunderstorm cell crossing the bay to the south of us. We weren't finding what we we looking for so we moved to another location. This provided us with protection from the SW wind and still gave us clean water and current. It wasn't long before Casey felt some weight on the line. At first he thought he was hung up. But then the line went in the opposite direction the fish realized he was hooked and the fight ensued. He made quick work of it and harvested a nice 22 incher to put in the box and get the skunk off the boat. We continued to work shallow water structure and marsh banks. But weren't finding much. This is a game of seek and destroy. It can be nothing 1 minute and game on lights out the next. When it happens it is a blast. It sure beats trolling and sitting watching the rods and hoping. You are constantly casting and when a fish hits the lure you feel it all. Then it's just you the fish and the rod. We drifted making a few casts to each spot. If we didn't get a hit we pulled up and moved on. These fish are prowling looking for bait fish or soft crabs or anything washing away as the tide drops. We had a few showers but they didn't last long. We worked a lot of fishy looking areas. Finally Colby gets a hit this time it was next a rock pile with some sod banks mixed in. After a nice little fight a 19 1/2 incher goes in the box. We drifted that spot a couple more times but only caught 18 that had to go back. The limit is 19 inch minimum 24 inch maximum. So we continued to move. The sky started clearing and the sun was coming out. We hit a spot with a dock and riprap wall with marsh and sod banks along the shore line. Trey got a hit then another. Then on the third cast bam. Another nice healthy 18 incher. Back it went. We cam up for another drift and everyone started getting hits. The Colby got a reallly big hit. This fish was definitely bigger. Not only did it swim the opposite direction but it started trying to circle the boat. After a brief game of tug of war I netted a beautiful 26 1/2 incher. Absolutely beautiful fish and great catch. The fish was released after a brief picture and swam away healthy! It was game on we drifted this spot for an hour catching and releasing numerous fish. After a few casts I decided to cast myself. No sooner did I engage the reel and start to retrieve the lure WHAM! Holy crap he hit so hard he went airborne 3 feet. It happened so quick I didn't even think it was a Striped Bass. I asked Someone to get the net and Colby did a great job of netting my fish for me. Another over slot at 26 1/4. Beautiful fish. Once again it was released healthy and swimming away. We left them them biting as time was up. Everyone caught multiple fish and they were able to take 2 nice size slot fish home for dinner. We were a good ways from the dock and with the wind more than it was in the AM it was gonna take a little extra time to get to the dock. As I said in the beginning it can be nothing then its game on. That's exactly what happened. Thanks for a great trip Casey, Colby and Trey and Thanks for not giving up. We didn't see any Speckled Trout or Redfish today but I know they are around.

I would highly recommend a Salty Siren fishing. The experience was completely amazing. Our five-year-old grandson, my son and I enjoyed every bit of the trip beginning with the best Captain on the water. We caught some nice fish and learned how to use different lures to accomplish success. Five star service.

Just inform your Captain during booking what you are looking for so they will make the accommodations work well for you. Example we are planning on bringing our seniors on the next trip for bottom fishing and they showed us how they will set up to be able to accommodate us ?

Iโ€™m wondering if there is a better time of year to catch and keep larger fish. I know I have in years last, but this time of year, it seems like the limits were small.

The bite can be as hot as the temperatures, find a good captain that knows the fish.

The ride out was a little long (1-1/2 hours) but we were on the fish as soon as we put lines in the water. Make sure you know limits (currently one fish 19โ€ to 24โ€ per person) to manage expectations. We had to put a 30โ€ plus fish back as it was too big, but still a fun catch. We left with a ton of fish in the cooler and were back on land before lunch.

Allow ample time to arrive. Some winding back roads to get to dock. Bring coolers with ice and some snacks & drinks to enjoy between fishing spots. Bring a hat & sunglasses too!

Probably better fishing, especially the bottom fishing, in the morning vs. an afternoon charter.
