I have been going to MV for 5 years now and this trip has been the worste weather wize. I only fished 4 out of the 7 days because of wind and weeds.... i can deal with the rain. The 4 days I could fish were fantastic! The best day was thursday, 77 stripers landed (we didn't count the blue fish). All fish were keeper size and over with the biggest being 42" and all these fish were extremely fat! The highlights of the trip was seeing a baby blue fin tuna jump 50 ft from my bow. a school of dolphins, squid jumping out of the water as they were being chased by blues and stripers, and the most incredible thing was a 300lb thresher shark hitting a keeper striper off my friends line as he passed by my boat. Weds evening was incredible...... I have never seen so many fish and bait in one area... In 40ft of water my Lowrance was solid with bait and stripers. The best part was that I was the only boat out there I could keep raving but I won't, I think you get the idea.
