DAY 2: The second day of the annual event which was three days this year.
The wind came up early today and made it difficult to fish some of the open areas where we caught many of our Stripers yesterday so a change in plans was necessary.
It was a long day covering a lot of ground and we ended up with only 20-25 fish which were smaller on average than the previous day’s effort. Brian caught one really good one that was safely released after a photo op and we lost a couple of others of a similar size. Basically the tides and winds weren’t favorable to where and how I like to fish for Stripers.
To put things in perspective Brian is a big boy at 6’ 4” with a solid build so the catch of the day was a pretty good sized fish. No weight or measurements because you can see it clearly from the pic without unnecessarily hanging it up from a set of scales…
12lb mono and a single shank, barbless hook which came out when he was in the net. This is a typical occurrence with of a lot of our fish so they are very easy to return to the water – and to remove from us too if we get stuck!
