Big Stripers

Fished this afternoon with Doug. We started in the bay and couldn't find any bass to eat our lures. Then we headed out in the ocean to try trolling at sunset. Good idea. We had two keeper stripers and missed a third. The largest was 37" and 17 pounds. The second fish was 36" and 16 pounds. Pro Tip: Persistence pays off. Stripers are famous for only biting at certain times. There was a bite this morning at first light and then it shut off. Since we didn't cash in early, I wanted to be in the same area at sunset. It paid off. The change of light was the key and the fish chewed at sunset.
