The fall run is definetly on and in my findings better than last year.
Wind was howling pretty good last night, managed to hook up numerous times but dropped those fish, then finally landed some shorts, 2 small keepers and this 18 lb striper than inhaled a northbar. didnt realize it was a decent fish til it swam by and got in the cut in the rocks, used the surf to push her right up and leave her high and dry on the rocks for a great catch and release after a few pics.
My two casting partners got into a steady pic of shorts and small keepers too.
The fish are here just need to get out and throw everything at them. This was the only plug that produced for me, everything else got no love.
The water is still pretty warm but not when youre getting sprayed and theres 25 mph winds at you, dress warm and play it safe, there were some big rollers out there.
