Finally!! A report to be proud of. First drop in the AM produced only 1 keeper bass..made a second drop, again, nothing. Ran offshore of the Rocks, found some very good readings and bait, anchored up and had non-stop action for over an hour on the Stripers! Limited the boat out in an hour and a half. Fish up to 16 pounds. Played catch and release and came home a half hour early. Water temp droped 6 degrees with the easterly flow we have had the past 2 days, that had to be the ticket. Jig fishing didn't happen today so it was a good thing we had the clams. Worst part is, for this time of the season, it was probably a tease!!! Lots of bait, plenty of fish, when all the conditions are right, well knock the socks off em'!! Frank Suchwala celebrated his 71st birthday by catching 3keepers and releasing 12 more. First time fishermen Stacy Bushman, Nicole and Mike Bushman from Idaho caught their limit and also played catch and release..Andy and Joe our Monday regulars, who have been through the best and the worst of fishing got their reward also today, catching 3 each with bonus tags. Tomorrow is a true, you should have been here yesteday story!!! Capt.Ron
