Haven't posted in a while but have run into a couple of decent fish lately. I've only been fishing on my own for about a year but have fished with guides for years. The citation striper has long eluded me. I've caught a lot of 36" fish and a few 19lbs but haven't been able to land a citation.
The weekend before the tournament I finally cracked it. Was able to pick up a 37.25" that went 21lbs on the bogas. I was fishing alone so I wasn't able to get a pic that was worth anything.
Had to have some work done at the house Monday morning, seeing a small break in the cold decided to try to get in some fishing. Managed to get an afternoon trip with Todd Tuesday. Fished for about two hours on my own Tuesday morning before running out of bait. Bait was very hard Monday. Picked up 3 all just shy of 30" missed a few. Pretty good amount of action.
Got out with Todd in the afternoon. Had steady action. Not sure how many we caught, easily over 10, probably landed 4 over 32" and a new PB which I got on camera this time.
Fish went 37.5" and 22 on the grips.
Finished the day with another fatty we didn't even measure because it was in the midst of a triple header.
Great day. Had a lot of fun. Hopefully there are a few more board days left before it gets too cold.
