Noticed the good water visibility today, decided to snorkel one of my fishing areas, since fishing has slowed down in my area from shore lately. Went to my favorite blackfish hole-surprisingly, nothing. Kicked half-mile down the shore and came up on a few shorts and then swam upon a solid 25# stripper foraging in some grass. Stunning fish, not to bulky, but had length, and surprisingly didn't seemed spooked. Gorgeous to see a Stripper of that size in its element. Makes me appreciate the species on a different level. Oddly enough didn't see any baitfish, even crabs in the water. Witnessed just one pod of choggies, which was also unusual. Always good fun to check out the terrain of your fishing area to see how it holds fish. Hopefully won't be my last Stripper of the season.
