I had the chance to fish with my best customer Michael Moreland and his group last weekend. Saturday's weather forecast was for plenty of sun, mid 60's and plenty of wind, but when we got out into the bay it was beautiful.
We ran across the shipping channel & found the birds working pretty quickly. My Mate, Joe Lucas got our trolling rig out and we started catching fish pretty quickly, but unfortunately as the sun got higher in the sky the North West wind picked up steadily. We caught a good number of fish pretty quickly, but the seas picked up along with the wind and pretty soon a member of the group (who will remain nameless) said "uncle" he had seen enough . Unfortunately, the motion of the Bay took its toll on several in the group so I took mercy on them & ran into the river to get out of the tough conditions.
The next morning was another beautiful day and the wind report was much better than the day before.
We ran across to the same spot that we had left the fish the day before, and luckily they were there waiting for us.
Luckily, as soon as we got the lines out, it was game on! We had plenty of action catching Striped Bass the entire time that we were out
Recently, the larger fish have started to show up more and more every day and we limited out pretty quickly. We caught and released a large number of fish before we headed in.
Currently, our long range forecast is for temperate conditions for the next few weeks which should hold these fish and bait in the bay rather than sending them into the ocean in search of warmer water and bait offshore. So far, it has been a great fall season & I still have a few days open for you to come get in on this action.
