Month of May review

C'mon spit it out, I know you want to. Lets see some pics and hear some stories.

I started the month off with a new PB largemouth bass that went about 8# and got some decent stripers too. I would rate it as much better than last may for surf caught stripers up my way.

Now a funny story......

Last week while fishing I happened onto a nice big school of herring with one of my buddies. Fish were crushing them and it was fun just watching. A short while later we're bailing fish and a young guy comes along on a bike. He looked a lot like a friend of mine from this site, so I yelled up to him, "Come on down dude, it's a good bite." The guy looked a little bewildered and took his time getting down to me despite the repeated encouragement I gave him. As he got closer I realized he was a complete stranger and must have thought I was a freak. He came over, intoduced himself to us and joined in the fray. I was kind of chuckling to myself over the miscue, but we had a great time. Short while later, my two regular fishing buddies show up and ask why the guy is fishing so close to me. When I tell them the story we all break into laughter. Near the end of our session the guy is getting ready to take off and thanks me for the invite. My partner says to him, "We'll see you tomorrow, AND COME ALONE!!!" Anyways, here's a couple pics...

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
