Upon researching for local fly shops in the area, I stumbled upon All Points Fly Shop & Outfitters. After checking out their site, I found out they are holding their second annual striped bass tournament. The rules and regulations seemed legit, so I contacted Hugh and we are deciding to give it a go. It was, after all, another excuse to catch stripers and there are cash and gear prizes. Stay tuned for tournament progress!
Family Trip
With another addition soon coming to the family, we decided we better get in one more family fishing trip for the three of us. The destination would be the same one I fished last week, and I was hopeful for good results.
Tides can be a tricky battle to try and figure out. When we pulled up that morning it was peak high tide (I had actually planned for this but still thought we could make it out to the island I was on last week). Turns out, I was wrong. This high tide was much higher than last weeks so we had to stick to the shoreline. I made a few casts for a half hour but saw no action. We then decided to head up and try the marshland, which did yield results. I caught my smallest striper yet- a solid 12 incher and Natalie caught her first ever striper which was a good schoolie size. We found a spot where the stripers were chasing bait but it was hard to reach them. They were in the middle of a big pool with crossing tides and the wind made casting difficult. Regardless, we did catch a couple and it was a good day considering the circumstances.
