Interestingly, though, your 50#er and your 60#er this year came at night, right? I too, believe that "they won't hit what they don't want, no matter how bad you want them to hit what YOU want them to hit!" Nice to have some of my own thoughts echoed by more than one of our area legends!!! Had a coupla experienced surfanglers tell me to arsenal down, but when I hop the rocks I take eels, chunks, wood, rubber, jigs, and tins. I doan want to be caught without what Morone wants!
Classic stuff seeeing youse two work that pod of bait and boat those beauties  !
And yes!! I do believe it is a sweet and telling harbinger of next season's fortunes! |
Nope, The 51 came at 9am under a bright sky and warm day, in about 7 foot of water with Flat calm conditions I could see the bottom !..The 60 did come at night but, when they get that size I dont think there is much a difference if it was night or not...That 50 was already there just cruising around the shoreline. I will admit that one was easy...it happened very fast, I only had about an hour to fish that morning and got on the water late, I only managed two live Bunker...I almost did not make the run because I figured with just two on hand it may not be worth it, Took the 15 minute boat ride anyway, Shut down and instantly hooked one up and put it over the side, almost imediatly that fish took the bunker....5 Minutes later I was heading back for the dock..That was just an unreal set of events that will never reapeat, I will say that Morning was just luck...the difference was Most may not have went, I did and hit the jackpot....Cant catch if your not there and it pays to go even if you have limited time...
Nothing in Striper fishing is more important than putting time in how ever and whenever you can...
