Today I guided Doug Goldsmith on a striper trip. We hit the water early and started working the banks with the rubber worm. We got into a nice wad of fish at the second stop and Doug immediately had a nice 8 pounder in the box. Upon closer inspection we realized it was tagged as well, which is kind of like a band to the duck hunter, a rare treat. We kept on fishing and had several short bites and landed another 5 fish before we moved on. The next spot that we stopped at was again loaded with fish and we caught another 8 before the fish spooked. We again went on the hunt and in no time at all we were hooked up again. This spot produced another 6-8 fish, of which 3 more went in the box and we headed in. We were back at the launch by 11:00 AM. There were alot of small fish today in the 16"-18" range and are likely the culprits for all of the short bites. There are plenty of fish out there and plenty of time left to get on the water this season, so don't miss out. Give me a call at (530)682-3176 to book your trip, before it's too late!!!
