Stripers some to small and one to Big!
« on: Aug 08, 2020, 01:25 PM »
I met Sean at the coast this morning fishing the outgoing to low tide. We managed to jig up a few pollack and 3 mackerel that have been hard to find. I landed 3 between 20” to 26” . Sean caught his PB a 44” cow with a guessed weight of 30- 35 LBS . Pretty cool seeing a fish that size up close and then release it.

Skill 🤔
He played it for 10-15 minutes and timed a swell to land it . Lucky it was low tide so we could stand in the surf and get grip from the barnacles.

Nice stripers again, Wayne.  Congrats to Sean on his monster.  Getting it in those precarious drop-off conditions adds to the accomplishment.

Yes the  big one was caught on a Mackerel. I was lucky to catch 3 on one cast. 2 of mine were caught on live pollack .

What a beast! I can’t imagine fighting a fish for that long, then again I don’t venture out of freshwater (until recently).

It’s a little tough sending that hog back when last season it’s a keeper. I get protecting the species so it was ok. That’s the biggest one that I have seen so far. It’s tough not getting our baits smashed by the shorts.

Wayne make no bones about this..the only species that recreational guys are saving (short term) is the commercial striper species.  They lobbied hard to keep their quota high while more pressure to preserve the species was put on recreational anglers.  Big time mechanics at play...also why you'll never get to go to a ASMFC meeting that isn't during the week while everyone is working. 

If said this before.. if you go do what you are doing now, at night, you will catch bigger bass.  They big girls will come it a lot closer to shore under the cover of darkness.  Right into really shallow water.

Mass has a slot now as does CT.  1 bass per day between 28-35".  That's brand new for this year.
