4-19-08 Tog & Striper Fishing

Time:7:00am to 11:30am
Crew: Tim, Bobbie, DonP
Water Temp: 48.0 @ 7am - 54.0 @ 11:00am
Tide: Ebb
Wind: South 5 knots
Conditions: Sunny and low 70's
Caught: 5 schoolie stripers


Loaded the boat with fishing gear for the first trip of the season.
Bobbie and I meet DonP down at the new marina for 7am.
What a fantastic morning, headed to Sarah's Ledge to try for tog.
My GPS was not working so I couldnt venture to other possible tog areas.


We drowned some worms and clams with no luck, but still was really nice!

Moved to the mouth of the river and got the skunk off the boat with Don bringing this nice crab over the rail.

We quickly dicussed aborting the tog/flounder effort for a trip up the Thames to a location that usually holds schoolie tripers.
Flew up the river right next to the old marina and put some lines out to troll and find the school.



We quickly found the school surfacing with another CTF'er already taking advantage.

We had some good schoolie action for about an hour.


The stripers were caught on white lead heads and white/red swimming lures. What temp was 55 in front of Hortons Cove.
