I will start out my '04 Striper season by fishing the marshes in my area with my new 7 footer, and new Okuma reel. I missed the herring run through the marsh last year, and I'll be damned if I do this coming Spring! lol.
I know a guy who on his first cast, of his first outing last Spring, landed a 34 incher. This was during the wonderful Herring Run
The one I missed!!! grrrr
I cant wait to see if I can land one on a 6 inch Storm Wildeye during tha run.
