What a great weekend!!! or.. outfished by the wife and proud.
Yesterday, we drove all the way down to woods hole only to find the conditions to less than our liking to launch... So we headed back closer... Went to a tried an true spot, and hit the jackpot of sharks... Heck, in one hour we nailed at LEAST 30 of them between 3 of us...

So we moved again, about 5 miles away. This time we hit the jackpot, stripers galore.. all 20" or so.. We nailed about 40 of them over 2 hours.. It was a blast...

So tonight, we decide to head back to where the stripers were....I thought I would bring my wife so she could have a blast with them... They were gone from where we were catching them so we moved out a bit... We searched a bit and just before slack, we found them.. Water was BOILING with them, only they were MUCH bigger.. Average fish was 25 inches.. I hit a 29" quickly... and I am VERY happy to say that my wife did well with a mid-action freshwater pole and brought in a 27".... A few minutes later she was on again, and I am even happier to say she caught her first keeper, a 31" beauty and I am SO proud of her... It took her awhile, and I thought the pole was gonna snap... but she did it!

All in all we nailed another 40 fish tonight.... I dont care if the fish are small, a weekend like this you dont get very often...

I also caught a shad tonight on a storm shad.... It was, weird...



Shan reeling in the monster....



Her first keeper!

Nice pictures. Did you try live lining that shad? My father got two shads this year on soft plastic. An American and a Gizzard. Wierd.

No... I didnt try livelining it and I am kicking myself for it now...

Where we anchored when catching the fish, was right on the edge of some deep water.. Would of been nice... but at the time, we were just zipping around the shallows hitting rockpiles so we didnt think we would need it...


ahhh well....

and your right, she is having ALOT of fun this year... she finally is beginning to understand....

You gotta love a woman that will spend a night (out on the water) fishing.

Well,

The bathroom part she didnt like
She did want the trip to be short too...

She wanted to leave about 9:30pm..... The fish were erupting from 9-10... I kept getting nervous that she was gonna freak out... but she forgot about the time and everything...

Ahh the magic of the stripah!!!
