on Board today, I had repeat clients Chris Barry and friends Scott and Carlton, for light tackle striped bass.

Heavy dense fog before the sun came up and then patchy, dense fog off and on, most of the morning – and tons of fish! Huge multiple schools of bass and bait all over the bay on the rising tide. At high slack, we could not find a fish! Thousands of fish gone… Then, when the tide started going back out, big pods of stripers and bait started to show up again. We basically found a pod of fish everywhere we went today. It was very good fishing!

Top lure today was the rubber crank baits in pearl color. Most fish were on topwater with a few down below. We fished depths of four feet to twenty-four feet today. Most fish were schoolies of all sizes with a few big fish in the mix. Total catch and release today was 111 fish with one keeper that went home with the anglers. A great morning ahead of tomorrow’s tropical storm coming. The harbor is an absolute ZOO today with everyone pulling their boats at the last minute.

The rest of the week looks like a bust with NE winds and a tropical storm heading our way. Saturday may be the next good day to be back on the bay.

Stay posted: October is knocking on our door!
