Went out of big break today
Hit the water at 930
Off at 330
Wife and dad caught a few stripers
Wife 16” right away
Dad 16” 9” 4”
Me not even a bite
They were using night crawlers
I was throwing white hair raisers
Popper ..frogs… just trying to enjoy my bait castor
Then got my bait pole out
Tried mackerel for awhile then night crawlers
Not my day
But sure beat the hell out of work

Good job Captain DD, these are the days you take credit for putting them on the fish.

Thanks for the picture.

Fred sometimes got to enjoy what they are doing
We have a $3 bet going when we fish
$1 first
$1 biggest
$1 most
I lost my $3
Oh well next time
Just nice to be out
Been a few months

I would easily give up 3 dollars for a day like that on the water.

DD... what mussel tag was expired? The annual one with your boat registration? I can't keep track of all this crap. Glad you had a good day on the water. We wound up canceling our fishing trip down there this week when Still Above Water couldn't even launch until after 10:00 am because of fog. We'll reschedule for 2023 when the bite improves.

Glad to hear your wife loves to fish with you. That's really special.
So y'all are upriver from the 160 bridge, right?

I never heard of a mussel tag. I have a senior, lifetime clam license in NJ.

It's a sticker we have to have on our boats along with our registration sticker. It for the Quagga Mussels.
