Captain Jerimiah was incredible for my trip! I had one mission and it was to catch a Hybrid Striper bigger than my previous biggest (1lbs 10oz).
Jerimiah took me out to a spot where we jigged for White Bass and Hybrids. At this first spot, we saw tons of fish on the live scope and, unfortunately for me, I didn’t catch anything jigging. We did not jig very long however, but it was long enough for Jerimiah to get in a White Bass and a Yellow Bass. We went to check out a few other spots with no success at any of the other spots, so it didn’t take long before we found ourselves back at our first spot.
This time, we decided to troll. It did not take long at all into trolling where we got a fish and it happened to crush my previous biggest Hybrid by over 3 lbs. Less than 10 minutes later, the rod went again, and I ended up pulling in 2 Hybrids on the exact same rod at the same time! Both Hybrids were good size and each about 4-4.5 lbs. Half an hour after that, I beat my new biggest Hybrid again, setting at just over 5 lbs. Less than half an hour after that, I landed a big White Bass and the other pole had gone so Jerimiah got it, leaving us with a fun double-up selfie! Eventually, the Hybrid bite slowed and the small White Bass took over and the trip was over!
I had so, so, so much fun on this guided trip! Jerimiah and I talked about fishing and his guiding, and now… I’ll be back out on the water with him soon! I’m not 100% sure yet when, but I’m definitely looking at my schedule to see about going out on another trip with him in the next month or two!
