After a beautiful day on the water yesterday...the mother nature threw us a curve with easterly wind and rain that ranged from a light drizzle to steady downpour...A canceled guided trip gave me the chance to get out with a friend of mine for a couple of hours...
Terry Walsh & I left the dock at 5:30 am this morning in pursuit of getting Terry his first Striped Bass of 2009...and while it was not to be on this day, it was still a fun trip...Terry and I both being fly tying instructors had the chance to discuss our favorite flies and Terry even tossed a dozen of his amazingly tied flies into my fly box...Unfortunately the combination of E.wind and steady rain kept the stripers feeling grumpy...we saw stripers but they stiff armed us all morning...at one point we were drifting underneath a railroad trestle when a large striper boiled on a baitfish that was fluttering on the surface...a quick cast from Terry...nada...so I reached into my livewell and scattered a handful of live blueback herring onto the rivers surface...angry boils appeared as the large Striper gulped the freebies...Thats the way it goes sometimes...with the amount of bait we have, our fish are very well fed and sometimes they just won't be fooled...We'll try it again later this week.
If you're looking to fish with us season...please call us soon for available dates!!! We are taking reservations daily. Don't forget to ask about our evening blitz trip...It's becoming a guest favorite!!!Capt. George Harris
