First on a plug!!

I finally caught my first striper on a plug today. It was only a schoolie but it felt awesome! I also caught two big bloofish, also on a plug. It's been hard to "break the habit" of chunking (not that there's anything wrong with that). But today was sort of unplanned so I went with it. I'm "hooked"!

I think somebody just caught the "plug bug"

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

Smile me too

I also got my first fish on a plug this morning. Just started from the surf/beach this summer and progressed from lost lures and tangled lines to finally a big swirl, a nice pop and a decent sized blue fish. I'm sure you guys and gals forget the days when one fish is a great day but it was for me.

MAy want to call the credit card company and get a bump on your limit, it gets expensive.

Everything is better on the rocks.
