First keeper
I’ve been having fun getting back into the surf and catching schoolies in the rocks by the summer cottage on white horse beach. Tons of rocks and I’ve been broken off a few times, in fact today at 3:45 on a whim the wife and I go to the beach and I brought a rod. Bathing suit only and kayak shoes don’t I hook up after a few and a decent fish cuts my braid off quickly. I retie and wade back out and ten minutes later a 30” fish hammers my 6” jerkbait and I managed to work her thru the boulders and since my son and family love striper and I haven’t keep one in probably six years I walked home to filet her. On a hot beach day lots of spectators wanting a look and I left plenty of fish the same size that followed her in. Thankfully the water is warm enough for just some swim shorts, I plan to break out the waders and try a night trip on a good tide.
