Wow November came in with a bang. The cold snap has really turned on the bite.Phil booked a trip in the PM for him and his friends. We found birds working straight out of the gate. The fish were up and down quick. But we stayed at it and caught a couple. The birds were moving fast and as the afternoon went on the fish seem to get hungrier! There were lots of boats around chasing the schools. We found some good marks and stayed at it after the other boats left. Sure enough wham fish on. A nice 28 incher in the boat. It was an almost perfect drift. We were moving with the school of fish. With no other boats on them. We made 2 long drifts and we’re reward with some nice fat fall Stripers. We ended with a 5 man limit of 10 fish with 5 of them 26 to 30 inches. We were still catching and releasing them when we called it a night. All this with light tackle rods and lures. The time is now. Don’t be left wishing let’s get fishing!

Got a message from Shelby Thursday evening asking if we had any openings for Saturday. Their previously scheduled charter cancelled due to weather and this was her boyfriends birthday trip. Well we did have an AM trip open. But with the wind forecast I explained that it was not at our normal location. When the winds push us off the main Bay we try to go to other areas where we are sheltered from it. Shelby agreed and a plan was set in motion. I had been on a good bite in this location for the past 2 weeks. We met at 6:30am and off we went. We got near the mouth of the river before the wind kicked up too much. We started out fishing shallow but couldn't find any willing participants. As the morning got brighter we switched over to a little deeper water. Finally Kyle the birthday guy got one. The skunk was finally off the boat. After a short while we got another. Looks like the fish had decided to sleep in some. Thats ok because I was starting to see signs of life around. Birds were moving around on the hunt and bait was starting to show up near the surface.Finally everything broke loose. Birds were working in a couple different pods. Bunker was flying threw the air and Stripers were slashing at the surface. Rods were bending over 2 and 3 at a time. We caught and released numerous Stripers up to 24 inches before we finally had to head back in. Everyone caught their personal best fish and some even caught their first. They even took a couple home for diner. The weather looks to be taking a slight warm up mid week. I expect the patterns to hold for some time longer. But don't wait book a trip. Don't be wishing lets get fishing!

Rocktober is in full swing folks. Fished for only 2 hours last evening, but boy was it good. Caught and released numerous Stripers up to 24 inches and even had a Redfish. All fish were caught in less than 5ft of water. Shallow water is a blast. Book a trip today. Don't be wishing lets get fishing!
