March 17, 2012 - St. Patty's Day Stripers
We hit the water today with Greg, Shawn, Traci, Jeff, Frank, and Tom. Setting up in the fog with chilly conditions but very little wind, we fished over some good looking readings on the sonar, but couldn't get a bite. So, we made a short wiggle. The marks were thick just about everywhere we went...tons of bait and definitely some bass in the mix. We set up on some more good reads. We sat for quite a while. Just as my patience was wearing thin, we had a bite...swing and a miss! Then another...swing and miss! AH! Shortly after, Jeff gets a bit, sinks the hook, and gets the first bass of 2012 on the Bomb...
Waiting
a while longer, Shawn hooks up...another "late winter(it's not spring
yet! )" keeper!
After
a couple more bites without a hook-up, Greg sticks one and gets his first of the
year!
The
tide went flat shortly after this fish, so we pulled the anchor and sped for the
Barn at nearly 30 knots. It felt GREAT to see the first few keeper bass of 2012
hit the box! Looking forward to getting back out there tomorrow. With the amount
of bait and the marks I saw on my screen both on the grounds and on the way to
the grounds, it should be lights out soon! Seats available this week! Give me a call! Thanks and see ya soon!
