Night Striped Bass Capt. Ant reports another excellent night of Bassing with 53  Stripers caught as well as a mess of Beautiful Blues.  It wasn’t the mayhem of Thursday’s trip, just consistent action every drift until the tide died out on us.  We also had to deal with the weekend Googans doing 20 knots through the biomass and about 75 boats fishing the same zone so obviously it scattered the linesiders.  All in all, we still put the meat in the box!!

Full Moon Night Striped Bass Capt Ant has just one thing to say, GET IT WHILE THE GETTIN IS GREAT!!! 41 fares, 77 Striped beauties. It was an unbelievable night.

It wasn’t easy, you really had to let them eat and that’s tough in a 4 knot tide, but those who got it down were rewarded. George Jehn, author of Flying to close to the Sun, available on amazon, was high hook with 7. Chris Luke a close second with 6, Danny Wes with 5. Frank the Greaser Stoutenberg nailed 3 in the last hour alone. All retaining their…
