Still Here
I fished Thur-Sunday am, 20 plus hours of casting. 1st 3 days were schoolies and a few blues.
Sunday morning I was casting an Afterhours Danny that has seen a ton of use and abuse by bass, blues and rocks. I started getting small bass every few casts and considered switching to a plug with a single hook to avoid hurting the little guys. I took a few more casts and was tight to a nice fish in the wash. Then I lost 2 more bass and the action died. As soon as the sun hit the horizon, the wind started blowing like snot and it was impossible to maintain line control with plugs, tins and even bucktail jigs were hard to feel with the wind blowing the line like a sail.
I gave up at 10am and headed home to clean my fish.
Here is a pic of the bass and her belly contents.
I will be out a few eves this week.
Hopefully I can get a few more fish before the fat lady sings.

1 @ 32 Pledge. Our beloved Striped Bass are in trouble AGAIN.
I fished through the lean years and don't want to live through another collapse of the stock.
2 fish @ 28" is ridiculous.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan

Many people won't fish the head so I thought I would hint at it's effectiveness. It is the most natural chunk for a striper to find and bluefish usually spit them out, eliminating the need for leaders, plus it eliminates the smaller fish from the harm of being hooked and landed. Add in durability and ease of casting and IMHO it's the best hook bait when fishing chunks.
