Daplumma Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 Headed out to the bay for stripers fishing.Werent trolling 10 minutes when "fish on". After quite a long fight landed ths 37 incher..so he went back in.35 to 41 inch slot. Before anyone asks about the girl,she was the mate in the trip,she also teaches high school english.Did an amazing job keeping up to 17 lines trolling,lucky we only had one douple hook up. Next up was Pops,another solid hook up. resulting in this Arts turn,the action was pretty hot for a while.He hooked this one while his buddy landed this beauty. Here is Arts fish. . All totaled up we got 9 to the boat,3 were in the slot and 6 were kept.They ranged from 28" to 41".Evryone in on the boat got at least one to take home.Here is the party. One last shot of a watermans boat.I love the lines of these unique watercraft. What a great morning on the water.Off the water by noon. Joe
Shelley Cooper Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 Wow... what an amazing day out.... Thanks for sharing
lew Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 (edited) There ya go Joe, that's what happens when you get up at Lew o'clock Great stuff, you obviously had an excellent day on the water !! Never eaten striper, but I'm assuming those bigguns taste pretty good ?? Edited April 29, 2007 by lew
Roy Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 Wow! I'm impressed guys! Sounds like a super time was had by all. I think that in 2008 we won't need a lodge for a get together. We can all spend a week on your boat. Thanks for sharing, great report.
Rich Clemens Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 That sounds like a load on fun Joe .. not bad for a morning's work. Congrats to all.
Greencoachdog Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 Excellent report and pics Joe!!! Do they ever close the season on those Stripers up there? Or is it just a slot? I hope you were paying attention to the GPS numbers and methods!
Gerritt Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 Joe awesome report brother! killer pictures too! No football pose with the fish though? What is a striper like to eat? Similar to Bass? Gerritt.
Steelcat Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 Wow that's some big Stripers~! Thanks for the report~!
Bly Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 Very nice!!! All that fun by noon.....family, friends and fish!! What a great way to spend a morning bly
Daplumma Posted April 29, 2007 Author Report Posted April 29, 2007 Thanx,this was a charter trip,we had this set up since last year.We already are familiar with where the stripers run in the spring and may get our own boat again before summer.The fishery is very closely regulated after they were all but wiped out in the 70's from pollution and overfishing.The season opened up again 20 yrs ago and is in great shape!We had fresh baked striper for dinner last night and it was great!The meat is firm and the flavor is not real fishy. Joe
Guest Johnny Bass Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 WOW! Pretty impressive fish! Have to target those fish one day, they look like a blast!
irishfield Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 Great stuff Joe and thanks for the report. That lad Art sure does love them cigars when fishing..don't he...
huntervasili Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 Thanks for the report Joe... Awesome pics and looks like you had some fun on the water

GbayGiant Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 Very nice guys, I'm envious. Art, how the h@ll can you breath with that stoegy in your mouth fighting a fish at the same time ? that's some true skill there.
Whopper Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 Excellent outing boys, looks like everyone was having fun! Wayne, cigars and fish go well toghether WTG Joe and Art! Whopper
ecxstriper Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 what a day guys nice to see some stripers not seeing any in person soon real soon. I can't seem to get enough time to get down to the beach if it ant't one thing it is another. what are your slot limits down ther anyway/
aplumma Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 It's easy just don't keep it lit. The cigars are more for show than smokin most of the time. We had a great day on the water and the fishin was hot and heavy with calm seas and a nice blanket of fog to keep the tag along fishermen from following us into the prime fishin zone. Art
ccmtcanada Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 Wow!! What a report and some great looking fish! Judging from all the smiles, I'd say it was an incredible day out on the water. Congrats!
motv8tr Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 (edited) Good stuff guys, nice way to start off the season, family, friends and a few fish...now you just have to get out and get some slime on that little boat of yours . Those stripers are some nice fish, wouldn't mind hooking into one of those myself. Maureen Edited April 30, 2007 by motv8tr
Mike the Pike Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 Nice striper report Joe they look like powerful fish but where is the female stippers you spoke about in your last post
