Looked for squid / blues and bass this eveneing at usual south facing beach w SW wind (6 to 8PM). Caught 1st Striper of year, a 22 inch striper on one of my dad's squid knock off lures (then had line trouble) and since it was first trip out w/ new dry top I did not have my usual vest with clippers and leader material etc. had a nice walk back to car probably missed end of bite as they were gone when I got back. I consider it a shake down trip. Will not forget those items next time.
Saw a few caught in another location later.
It felt great to be out again.
