Backbeach Jake got that right! Middle of a hot August day last summer, the fishing was horrible it was just so oppressively hot! I was fishing the surf at the Race, things were so slow I was fishing a chunk of mack on the bottom, with the rod spiked, and throwing plugs with another rod closeby and the chunk rod started bobbing hard....I grabbed the rod and reeled in a nice fat 17 pound six oz. striper. Considering the only other people catching fish that day at the Race were wire line jigging on boats,that fish was pretty big that day. All fish are fun, just enjoy yourself.
