Yes I will keep all who are interested updated. I am a fisheries Biology student and during the spring spawn run we caught and tagged a numebr of fish varying in sizes, the largest we happend to net weighed in at 53 1/2 #. I almost **** my pants. she was beautiful However a fish like hat is very uncommon in these waters. We did net a 32 lb female with a tag on it from North Carolina which I though was amazing, the distance that fish must have swam. Most fish are in the 5 to 30 lb range. However with the last few years the conditions have been good producing good number of juvy fish. They have survived the winters in good numbers and we catch many many schoolies!. We usually set up shop on the rocks and chunk mackeral and throw stick baits. The tides are huge in the basin as you know so the fishing is strictly tidal from shore. From my boat however i have yet to figure it out its almost like they dissapear until the tides starts to roll back in. And Ive tried everything lol All in all I wish the fishing was like what you guys are so blessed to have. But I make the most out of what I can get. Stripers for ever!!


I will post picutres soon

100% C and R....these big beauties are few and far between.
