Got out this afternoon when the wind died down a bit. Within a mile of the marina I spotted a dense cloud of working birds with busting stripers below. The action lasted until sundown. In 2 hours I got about 20 hook-ups on fly, using a yellow clouser or a fly-popper. Most fish were around 24" with a 29" and a 30" mixed in. Unfortunately the high winds have been keeping us at the dock most days, but for the past 2 weeks as long as we can sail we've been finding fish. Things should continue like this through November and maybe even into December, all we need is a break in the weather. I've got Fridays, Sundays & Mondays available, if you want to get in on it drop me a line or give me a call.

Fish On!
