It was one of the Alexander twins' birthday today (not sure which one) and for a present he received this striper while trolling south of Hog Island. I heard of more shorties caught and released in the same area and a few keepers were found among the discards. The ocean was not a happy place in the afternoon today but a few boats ventured out in the morning for very mixed success.
For all our work Saturday and Sunday was a small bat ray:( We tried for the larger halibut north west of hog for nodda - saw only a couple hali's caught.....worst 2 days of catching for me in a couple years but still nice to be on the water. I was hoping for the bat ray to be a large hali - it was pumping the pole but was hooked on its wing.
ReplyDeleteNice to see the WSB and striper caught.
