04/21/2012 - Striper Fishing on OOAL


Well, we pulled together a last minute striper trip consisting of just myself, Doug, and JR...to do a little exploration.  JR was out the day before and wanted to pick through some spots to see what was around...so Doug and I tagged along for some fun and to shake off the winter dust that accumulated on our rods!

Let's check out a few pics from the day...


Super secret fishing plans? Yeah right, JR isn't THAT prepared for anything! hahaha



One of JR's reels, dig the camo!



Good ol' OOAL



Dawn...



Sick side scanning tech! Wait til you see it later in action...



Little more scenery on the ride out...





And the search for bait begins...DAMN! You can see the individual bunker! Just insane!



Crazy tech and THICK schools of bunker!



We put a few nets in the livewell but the bait becomes spotty and deep...so we take a ride to another area.
And a little more scenery as we cruise along...











Found the bait!  Gettin some more live ones!







We set up on the drift and JR gets to test out his newest Terez in short order!



Doug lands a nice one...contributing to his limit!



One of mine...





And my second keeper...



Then the fog rolled in big time!



So we set up to do some chunkin but not much luck



One last shot of that kick ass reel! ;)



The action died as the wind picked up and we had some heavy wind against tide conditions.  We toughed it out for a bit, had some bites and landed a yellow eyed demon before calling it a day and hitting up the dockside bar and grill for some lunch after cleaning the boat!

Nice way to break in the striper season getting out 3 man limit and having some fresh fillets for the week and then some! ;)


Until next time...ummm this Saturday! haha
