Most memorable night as far as results this year was a lonely, cloudy night in mid September. Conditions and tides really didn’t line up this year for most of my favorite spots, but they did that night. Was into fish right away but as the tide dropped it just kept getting better. Got my three biggest fish of the season on three out of four casts in the middle of the peak of the action. Weighed in a 42 for the Striper Cup that night and had two better fish. First was on an eel, next two on riggies.
Most memorable fish was taken on a snotty, rough night. I was pretty convinced we wouldn’t be able to fish effectively because it was so rough, but I put on a big ass diving jointed plug and was on to a 35 right away. Took two waves during the fight that actually slid me a few feet across the rock I was standing on in my korkers, leaving nice white drag marks behind. Definitely scary, but fun at the same time. Backed off after that fish because that’s not an area where you just climb back up if you get knocked off your rock, your in a lot of trouble if you go down there.
Swimming around on a dark, calm night on Cutty was another memorable experience. I tested a lot of my “Oh, I wouldn’t swim that far” thoughts that night and really became a ton more comfortable in the water and with swimming greater distances. Only landed one modest fish, but still a great night.
