New PB CT Keeper 12/3
Message:
Member fivestring (Josh) and I hit the Housy around 7pm Monday. Tide was going out at the time. Josh started off by throwing n SP Minnow. I started with a purple black chrome Max Rap MXR-15. Within a few casts I got a number of hits and lost a fish. Pretty soon I landed a 20" schoolie. As I stuck with the purple black chrome Max Rap I was getting lots of action. Josh switched over to a purple black Red Fin which gave him 3 hits and lost a keeper. He also threw a darker mackerel colored SP Minnow which landed him a 27" striper. 2 fish I lost on the MXR-15 felt like keepers. Things slowed down with the Max Rap after landing close 10 stripers up to 27" so I switched over to a pearl grey shiner Flat Rap FLR-16. After about 5 casts with 1 hit, I had a hit. Fish on but lost it right away. Kept reeling the lure in without any difference and fish on again. This one took 3 short runs on me and was tugging. Josh grabbed it for me as I got it in and it was a 30 1/2" 11 1/2 pound keeper. New PB CT keeper for me. Josh got a couple of other hits and lost 1 with the SP Minnow and I landed a short 16" schoolie with the Flat Rap. For our last half hour or so before calling it a night, I switched over to the purple black chrome Max Rap and landed another 2, lost 1, and had a number of hits. We hit the road around 9pm. 30 1/2" 11 1/2 pound striper on a Rapala Flat Rap 16cm [img:250972f752]http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r614/mvsimko/305inch115poundStriperontheHousyinDerby12-3-12-Copy.jpg[/img:250972f752] Josh landed 1 which was 27". He lost about 5 and had about 5 hits. He stuck with the SP Minnow and Red Fin. I landed 2, lost 1, and had about 5 hits with the Flat Rap FLR-16. Landed over 10, lost close to 10, and had close to 20 hits with the Max Rap MXR-15. Rapala was the trick!
