We were not back early but we a 3 man limit +1. It was a matter of waiting out a tide in some rough water but it paid off nicely.

Had a great Thanksgiving Day bass trip. I was limited out with bass to 21.5 lbs by 7:30 this morning. I had a double header that was fun (Solo Trip) I was able to land them both but it was interesting to say the least. I left them biting and I am good graces with the wifey for being home early.

Left the dock at 630 and wanted to hit the white water for the outgoing tide but we didn't want to take the chance with the fog. Stayed in the back area and picked up two nice ones, 33 and 36 inches. Once the fog lifted we tried the last of the outgoing in the white water, nada, nothing. Headed back in to catch the incoming tide. We had to pull anchor no later than noon. At 1130 we got a nice hookup and I boated my first 40+ incher, 44 inches, 32 pds to be exact. This fish was fat. He had a whole bunker and most of the clam we had been chumming with in his stomach.

Had a few Boddington and a cigar to celebrate the day.

Well, the season has come to a end for me and my buds. It was a VERY productive year for me, probably my best striper season ever.

Now I need to come up with a name for my new boat..any suggestions?

Happy Holidays to all...

Well ran the first trip of the season today for stripers with Chris Gladd and Jack Walters.  We got to our spot with about and hour before high tide and had wind against the tide but once the tide went slack we had our first fish of the season at 26”.  Tide started to run out and for the next several hours we had several hits but could not get them to take the hook.  Around 2pm it was game when Jack had a great strike and missed it and Chris had one at the same time and landed the fish. First keeper of the year was a 29”.  The we set the lines out again and within 15 mins. Chris was on again with a nice 33”.  Jack also land a 14” Catfish.  Ended that day with two fish for the guys to take home for dinner.  With the warm weather the bit should be on.

4/3/10
Ran out today with George, Chris Gladd, and Chris’s sister and boy friend.  Left the dock in the fog and made our way over to Great bay.  Pick a spot and got set up for the incoming tide.  Water temp was 52 to 54.  Had several hits and with in about and hour had our first hook up and bragging right went to the the young guns on the boat.  First fish came over the rail and went in the box at 29”.  Had several more misses and then the young guns did it again with a small fish and it was Chris’s sister first striper.  A kiss and back it went in.  Once again Chris was doing alot of swing and misses and it happen again.  The young guns had another hook up and this was going to be a nicer fish it made several runs and then was in the net and was 33”.  Ended the day with two in the box.
