About 10 years ago I went with my freshwater set up and a yellow bomber and cault schoolies with a friend of mine, we got a couple close keepers and that was it.....hooked. I went back to that spot everyday that week and got about 20 fish a day...I could not beilive it, little did I know was about to come. The next year I was talking to an old friend about my new sport and he said he fishes for stripers down the "backside" at night with eels...I said "what??? at night??? with what??"...okay...I'll go. I borrowed some of his stuff and away we went, he showed me how to rig an eel and that was it. He and I fished for years like that..not knowing anyone, not talking to anyone...just eeling at night..and it worked, we had many 30- 40- lb fish. I just thought thats how it is!!! I have been incredibly lucky to have had the fish I have had. Well he doesnt fish to much right now and is raising his young family and I found this place and made some good friends here and learned so much more about the sport....but nothing beats the first years...being green and catchin large
