Out of Chatham this Saturday
Out of Chatham this Saturday. Off the dock at 0530 am.
Equipment:
Boat , 20 ft Yamaha oversized jetski;}.
Elmer , 8ft ugly stick, 6500 shimano baitrunner.
Me , 9 ft Fenwick, Ambassador 7000 and 9ft Tica , EpiXor eb65 Thanks (MikeCC)
Small and medium deep (15 to 25 ft)diving plugs.
Plugs in the water by 0600. We fished the North of Chatham, till about 1200 or so.
I bagged first 32 in, skinny Striper, good fight fast into the boat, and in the box it went.
Then Elmer hit two just over 28 in, one right after the other, he kept them but that is another story.
We kept at this Getting hit loosing some, letting some go. Just before 1200 or so I got one 34 in, GREAT FIGHT got it in the boat , kissed it on the head and let it go till next year. Elmer boated a 36 in striper that had 5 to 7 bass following it right to the boat, so close I could have netted them (well I might have gotten one or two of them), and we snapped a pic and back it went.
Then we made a speed run(oh my god am I sore) over to Monomoy to a rip Elmer knows of. He hit right away but the beast got off as he got
it to the boat. BEAST, it looked like a great bass. And looked like the big fish of the day..
About all. We fished till after 300 pm and made a speed run(not as bad as the trip out;} ) back in.
All in all we boated 7 stripers kept 3. Lost 6 or 7 due to bad hook sets, or the water gods having fun, or whatever.. Good day I expect we will do again…
Thanks for taking the time to read this…
