Trip Summary
Hey Everyone, Spring is here and that means the Striped Bass are starting to hit the deck. This mornings trip was all about making the report, not chasing it. Took the solo ride to Jamaica Bay from the home base of Island Park and after a few min of bird watching it was game on. There was plenty of hits and ultimately landed 3 fish in about an hour and a half on the “Ole Flutter Spoon”, first one was under at 27”, then an over at 32” and lastly a slot fish at 30”. Put the slot in the cooler and made it back to Island Park area with a nice tail wind in a record 50min. Fishing is all about the grind but every once in a while things line up real nice and it makes it all worth it.
