How would you rate August 2006

The worst month in striper history

Overall not my best month ... although I have stayed away the last two Augusts for the most part - chocking up fishing time and doing the family thing ... had a couple of good trips and a lot of slow to nothing trips ... but this is the first year not really fishing out of a boat ... may have to try and change that next year ... fortunately Cutty is next weekend and should have a good fall.

I had a very good August around Metro Boston. New personal best of 49". I thought it would continue but the mung and grass blades was in thick and then it started blowing Northeast. Hopefully it's still on. Best time was the new moon period. I didn't see it get overwhelming with large schools but found some decent fish in the rocks. I can't believe the girths on some of these 42"-45" fish. 25"-26". Well fed.

Top pic is a 49" with not much girth. Bottom pic is a 45" with a 25" girth. All released for someone else to have fun with.
