Stripers Returning
Message:
Got to the Fayerweather jetty just after 1:30pm Wednesday and low tide was scheduled for 4:08pm. Conditions seemed to be more favorable for a striper bite than a bluefish bite.
Started off on the Black Rock Harbor side while tide was still going out. Didn't get any explosions on the SP-9 and nothing hit the FLR-10. Caught 3 sea robins on the CNM-9.
Later once the tide was low enough to wade out farther, I got into some topwater with the silver SP-9. Missed out on 2 bluefish that hit the lure twice. Had a striper explode and later landed a very chubby 24" striper weighing about 6 or 7 pounds. Gave me 1 good run before hauling it in.
The topwater bite turned off so I headed over to the pier around the turn of the tide. Didn't get any swirls or explosions but saw a pod of bunker getting hammered.
Last stop was the city boat ramp where I ran into the same surfcaster. He wasn't into anything with pencil poppers but had a blue chop a live bunker in half before taking the head off the hook.
I landed 3 schoolies ranging from 16 to 20" all on the SP-9.
After dark once the bigger fish got active with the bunker, schoolies seemed to disappear.
Hit the road around 7:15pm.

Yep. I've always got a bunker snag or two on a heavy mono leader and swivel that I can quickly attach to my tactical angler clip. Rip that baby through the school and let the fish do the rest.
