16 isn't something to scoff at, and the small ones always give me so much more grief (I can't tell you the number of times the 15-20" have got me on my own trebles. Thankfully, and knock on wood, nothing past the barb. Yet). Great job dude. Chunking or Lures (if you don't mind me asking)?

I need to get back in the game.  That size range is great for the fly rod.  Nice work Joe.

I had 1 this morning in 12 minutes, 2 more blow ups. Got it on "last cast" (my alarm was going off to head home for work). About 18-19 inches, caught on this (in the Trout color): https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Ima_Big_Stik_175_Walking_Bait/descpage-IMABGST.html

That was Thursday am for me.  Fly fishing.  Crazy how fast work time comes when you fish in the am.

What better way to make sure your day starts out right though?

Decent last night in South Portland. 10+ in 2 hours on the 140 size husky jerk (which I specifically buy for stripers and pike. If a jerkbait gets destroyed or lost or toothed, I'd rather it be $6 instead of $15-$27). Biggest around 22", most were that 15" class. 1-4' of water, just thick with Silversides. Busting all over the place but couldn't get any on top.

I fished the coast the last 2 mornings at dead low tide. On the first cast with the sabiki I catch a pollack. Put him out and hooked up with a fat 26”. I had my bait mugged a few times then caught a 22”.
I was back at it this AM I time for a beautiful sunrise. The first fish on took my bait and went for a scream run. I could tell this was a hog. I was able to slow him up but it started to go toward the rocks. I tried to turn it but pulled the hook. I jigged up a big pollack so I was back in the game. I got 2 more landed a 24” and a 27”. Not bad for October.

Real nice to see some fish up that way still after all the north winds.

Whatever works.  I have some RM Smith plugs worth a few husky jerks.

No stripers but plenty of mackerel still out there.
