Trip Summary

Who said the giants won’t hit the top waters? For my birthday, Rodney and I decided to go after some stripers after we baited up for tomorrow. An epic bite would be an understatement. At least 30 fish in the 2 hours we were out there. Nothing under 45”. One over 50” and 50 pounds. At least 5 were over 45 pounds. I have go pro footage that i will have my son get videos off since I dont know how so you can see giant stripers explode on a plug. Or you can just book a trip.? Still have availability so book now

With no charters today, Rodney and I decided to do some recreational fishing and bring some food home. When we found the fish, there was to be none of that.The screens were absolutely ridiculous all day. The kind you don’t often see. After losing two brand new jigs to what were undoubtedly giants, we decided to hook up the 130s and play catch and release. While it’s painful to watch a payday swim away, it’s also pretty rewarding. We tied its tail off for a quick measurement and pictures and then set her free. It measured 91” to inside fork.
