Summer Stripers in Shorts

Fished with Tim and Tiffany on the flats. We started out catching some short fluke while we waited for the tide. Then we moved onto the flats. With water temps hovering around 80 degrees I wasn't super optimistic. But it was a new tide cycle and I had to look. Five minutes into poling the first flat we hooked our first bass. We ended up with around twenty bites and brought six stripers to 27 inches to the boat for release. We also pulled the hook on a few others. All of these fish were caught in less than 18" of water. Despite the water temperature, these fish were happy and aggressive. It was a fun evening.

On a side note we were discussing a new name for the blog...how about "As the Prop Turns...." as in "like water through the marsh, these are the tides of our lives..."

These are the things that come up in discussion when you've been fishing for 22 hours straight.
