Hot Back Bay Bite

Fished today with Dave W. At the first stop on the third cast we had a strike on a popper but missed. The frustration continued as several bass crashed the lures but wouldn't commit. We moved and settled into another spot as the tide began to ebb. We had several bites and landed a couple of bass on poppers but missed a bunch. We switched over to soft plastics and the response was immediate. The fish responded much better to the soft plastics and we ended up pulling around 15 stripers from 24-27" out of the same hole. During one stretch we caught a fish on four consecutive casts. Then we hit another spot and caught a bass on our first five casts. Totals: over 30 bites and around 18-20 stripers made it to the boat before being released. A great day in the bay.
