Met up with a friend of mine at the Mussel Bed around 7:30 AM, but I was a bit late in getting there after waiting to get my live
herring in Wareham. The tide was close to turning slack when I got there. Bill had landed one and dropped another before I
arrived, but with the tide slowing down, we decided to head west.
We hit a spot over near the mud flats. It was a lot of work getting back out there, but it was worth it. We had a nice rip all to
ourselves and managed my best "early season" canal trip ever. Between the two of us we landed 14 stripers, 6 of which were
over 30"-33". We also missed our share of runs and I even broke one off.
They were all fresh (with sea lice and all) and VERY strong. Funny, when things were real hot I experimented with chunk herring
and even a few whole ones with no eyes to see if they'd hit. Nothing. Throw in a live herring and BAM!
My first fish of the year was a keeper.
What a blast. My best opening day ever. Just gotta be at the right place though. Didn't see much else going on in other areas....
