First Striper from shore
Finally caught a fish from shore and on the Canal. Horah for me. Last couple of seasons i've tried thowing plugs lures and bait from the pier a scusset beach. This time my brother and I went further down to the beach and fished the rocks. Caught a Schoolie it had nice girth for a 25" fish.threw it back green. It was a long wait but I finally caught one. My brother caught a schoolie also and droped a keeper sadly.

For some the first one takes a long time. The second should come with much less time inbetween than the first. Then you should start getting several each season then you'll hope for several every trip. So you are off the starting line now. |

Don't be to concerned with size, just be happy to catch one or two on each trip. I bought and and read every striper how to book I could find and learned alot, also just sit back and watch and make a mental note of what others are doing and using in the areas your fishing
Good luck and congrats

......Then you'll eventually get so you can't catch crap anymore but can live on the glory days of the distant past.

No offense, but are you seriously trolling a thread for details on a report based on a 25" fish?

Just after slack tide my fish was landed. Some guys closer to the jetty were on bigger fish earlier and hour before high tide. I will need to make a pilgrimage to tackle shops in search of wooden pencil plugs. My brother got two made by a friend of ours he moved to left coast for work. I lost one of his plugs that hurt as much not being able to keep the schoolie I caught. Details about time and tides art someting i should have included.

Are you nuts? We been getting 30#+ fish for a month from the shores of the Large Ditch. Don't mislead the poor lad. He's additcted as it is. 
Besides, if you are in the Canal how far is further out, the other side?  |
No boat, back in the suds.

Only for the people that aren't fishing that side.  |
Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

I'm giving up on the fish pier. I liked high speed jigging action as I walked the length. The jetty is where the fish are. I would like recomendations on a fowl proof conventional reel. Is there such a breed?

Relax will ya? I'm just busting balls. Sheesssh!
These young guys have no sense of humor.
Seriously, yes, 30# this month. I have been in the Canal every night for 10 straight days. Night/0'dark 30 morning tides. Gone by the time it gets light.
I don't like company except the Canal rats and they don't talk.
I know a couple of guys on this board have multiple mid-to high 30# fish. |
