What that the one morning before work?
This was my first full season in serious striper country. Not to say South Jersey didn't have it's moments, but I certainly didn't it while I was working New England waters on a nightly basis.
I've never beaten the first cast curse before this year. Usually it's deadly for me. I made my way to the water hoping to catch what had been an incredible daytime topwater bite, and on the very first cast, a set of teeth blasts out of the water and onto my plug. A bluefish first cast curse seems like it would be even more deadly than a bass first cast curse. Of course, the only way to break the first cast curse is to catch a fish on the very next cast
. So I toss out the pencil, and a few pops later I'm tight to a mid-30# bass. Of course the curse might have come back a little later in that outing when a considerably larger bass wrapped a rock and took my last Plugcaster Pencil
