42 Fish
On board today, I had repeat client, Rolando Jeter, for light tackle striped bass. You may recall Rolando has landed some pretty big fish with me over the years. On my homepage photo gallery, there is a photo of Rolando and I with a fish over forty inches that he landed on a bubblegum sluggo. Check it out!
Today, we were on the bay before sunrise but the bite did not start until the low tide began to come in. Lots of bass came into the bay with some bait. Not quite the numbers of fish we saw yesterday, but pretty close. Several boats fishing the bay with us today. Fish were on the flats, along the channel drop-offs, and in the rips in TWO SPOTS on the bay. The rest of the bay was void of fish!
Top lure was one of Rolando’s rubber crank baits he bought at Fore River Bait & Tackle. That little, weighted rubber bait accounted for almost all our fish. But we did land fish on the GT in pearl, and also 5″ rubber crankbaits and Baymen Jigs (in the deeper drop-offs). Nothing on poppers today. Go figure?
Total catch and release was 42 striped bass on light tackle, nearly three times our daily average. A great day on a nearly flat-calm bay!
Back at it tomorrow with “Fly Or Die” Richard ‘The Machine’ Comstock. No fish is safe!
