Before I tell you our story of five people fishing the race, I will let you in on how the trip ended…..
I have been trying to get together with RV6, Deb and Scupmaster since our trip to Capt Hoops in February.
We selected memorial day since everyones schedule allowed for a day of fishing.
The seas were calm and the sun was out when we meet at 9am at the marina.
Steamed off to race explaining the passing scenery to Russ, Deb and Adam as we passed the sub-base, coast guard, EB, Ledge Light ect.
It was a great ride out and we arrived at the race at dead slack.
The tide started to ebb and we could see the fish starting to stack up on the finder.
It wasn’t long before we started to hook up and had non stop action till we left at 2:30pm.
Deb managed her first real striper!
The action was so hot that on two drifts Bobbie hooked TWO fish on one setup! In this picture we had double fish on and Russ landed a nice 36” fish, Bobbie landed a nice keeper and then a smaller one that one released!
Adam managed a keeper size fish that we release.
It was just a great day on the water with great company. I just made a great bouillabaisse and we have plenty of shark bait!
Details:
Marked the fish close to the bottom. When we marked alot of fish across different heights in the water column, we caught bluefish. When we marked less fish, but holding the bottom, we caught stripers. Diamond jigs or bucktails did not make a difference. In the stomach of one fish was a small baitfish. Nothing in the stomachs of other ones.
