Had a fun night out last night with Jesse, his kids, Alyssa and Collin, and his dad, Rod. We ran the bridge circuit in hopes of finding something. Given the dismal reports as of late, we didn't have high hopes.
Our first stop of the night was all ours. The water looked a bit stained from the wind that howled all day. There were signs of bait and some tasty looking rips along the structure. We worked the shadow lines on the up and down current sides. Finally I had a feisty striper inhale my jig. After a spirited battle I landed and released the fat 22 incher. Of course I forgot to snap a pic...
The next two stops were devoid of all signs of life. But the fourth held promise. As we were setting up, a gentleman who was already there hooked up. He had a terrific battle before the big blue bit him off. Good sign! Jesse hooked into a nice blue, but was also bitten off as he tried to land it. They are rather toothy. Shortly thereafter he landed another, and then Rod hauled one in. They were kept for beach baits. Collin and I both missed our opportunities.
The next area was quiet. The final stop looked fishy. I missed a solid hit in a shadow. And then Rod got hammered in the same spot, but came unbuttoned too. At this point it was getting late. We figured we'd try one more spot, but couldn't agree on where to go. So, Jesse and his group tried an easy spot I recommended, while I went off to check out some other areas. They landed a short flounder. I found cruising dogsharks. They were everywhere! They are fun to watch swim at least, but are harbingers of poor fishing. For whatever reason, when doggies are cruising, fishing is slow. So, I called it a night. Had a blast hanging out with Jesse and his crew. Just wish the fish had been more willing...
