Gage was too sick to go fishing last evening so I went out and caught his fish. He says he's feeling better now. This one weighed eleven pounds and hit a four ounce Kastmaster with a white bucktail. It took four years for a fish to finally bite that thing. There were a couple other stripers caught near dark, and a few more hooked during the daylight hours, so it may be striper time in the surf. Also in the surf...

   ....are some really nice redtails. When the perch are biting striper gear it's probably time to fish for perch. The rockfishing sounded slow yesterday with some nice fish but not too many of them. The crabbing remains, well, slow.
