SS report 5-30-14 White/striped bass fishing

My good buddies from Forth Worth made their annual trip with me today, Brian and his son, Joe.

these guys can jig em up! They have been coming with me for about 6 years I believe.

Truly some of my longest time customers, and very fine people.



They can fish with the best of them too, when I find a school of fish and tell them to drop down I can count on them making hay. A few times today I would tell them to crank up 3 or 4 or whatever depth I saw the fish coming by at. And wham the stripers would hit!



Sometimes a giant white bass, the schools were thick at 15', that could be a sing of a themrocline developing.



The first top today I told Joe, who is 13 now, to drop down and be ready.

I could see stripers on the screen, they were 15 feet thick under the boat, and I said that he would get hit his first lift.



Somehow his slab made it to the bottom and on his first lift he ran a foul of a 19' striper. It was great fun watching him wrestle it in on the light spinning tackle. We caught several more there, along with magnum white bass.

They are on vacation and didn't want a limit of fish just enough for a fish fry back at the camp ground/cabins.

Sleepy Hollow cabins in Goodrich, they stay there each year and brag on how great the place is.

We dodged some rain and trapperjon sent me a text asking if we were coming in?

I forgot to tell him we were coming in later, as we started at 8:00AM.

So we dropped the 30 white bass and four stripers off and went back out for a bit.

We caught some more big white bass we let go and one more keeper striper.

trapperjon did a great job on the fish and left them bagged up and iced down for the crew, and I cleaned the one striper, a semi shuffle.

:walkingsm:mpd:



I know, I forgot to get some pictures.

I will get some tomorrow for sure.



See you on the water.
