Stripers of the Merrimack

[#8Striper]

Thanks very much for the Info about the Macs ... we went out yesterday and found "Broken Rock" where several boats were jigging. We had a very tough time of it there only caught 1 mac .. but several pollack ..lol When we asked other fisherman who seemed to be having more luck than us it seemed that they all had "chum buckets" out and they felt that made the difference.
Do you think it does? ... Well next time then.

The rest of the day was spent fishing the high tide and the out going tide. After drifting in from the mouth to the salsbury river we caught a 24" on hearing. (My buddy was feeling a bit under the weather after being out after the macs ... lol)

Once he was feeling better we headed back to the mouth and had a little luck but no big fish.

The rest of the out going tide we struggled. We moved to my favorite spot ..the #8 of course but again few fish ...
Ever had one of those days when you felt like this was your first time stripper fishing .. even though you have been going regularly for 10 years ... that seems to describe how my day went yesterday ... lost rigs, broken off fish, tangled lines, small infrequent fish .... ahhhh well it beet working!
