So Don/Afterhours, myself and our 2 buddies got blown off Cuttyhunk a day ahead of schedule due to the coming bad weather....which sucks! However I did get to do some rock hopping for the first time while I was over there! First time on top of a piano sized rock with the depth around the rock only about 6 feet at high water I got my first striper from off a rock! It was pretty damn awesome to say the least and the fish were smashing pretty good, had a couple 30 pound fish take a violent swipe but missed them! First fish I had on was about 23-24 pounds, got her to the rock and slid her up but the barb on one of the hooks bent (I think I had my drag set too tight-lesson learned) and she dropped off at my feet!
This one was only about 34 inches I think? Didn't weigh or measure....just glad to have her for dinner....she became fish cakes! Got a few smaller fish but just being out on that rock was a huge advantage and I absolutely loved it!
