After almost a 2 month break (due to motor issues) finally got back out on them yesterday evening! My girlfriend had been wanting to go, and was able to cut it short with work yesterday so we got on the water around 2:30, bait was somewhat of a challenge picking one up here and there, all 12+ inches though so that was a plus, we had probably around a dozen, and then with the help of two other fine men one on a kayak and another in his boat offering us the rest of their bait we had more than we needed! We started pulling 3 bankside planers on freelines and two floats out the back, and we were in action from the start, with chases and blowups immediately all on the planers, missed the first fish with the hook turning into the shad! But finally hooked her up on her first Striper! As she was fighting that one the middle board took off, and although I promised I'd let her catch all the fish, I couldn't risk this one getting away as it was a Mongo that got ate So after the chaos of that double, we got back on course and I put the biggest bait we had on the middle board, a huge female full of eggs and told Amanda I'd get her on a good one, and with a little help from the Man up above right at dark the middle board took of screaming, and we hooked up on her biggest Striper the look on her face and reaction when she was fighting it, was one of the best feelings I've had!

Fantastic report. That stretch through there seems to be holding a lot of stripers.
Happy that y'all got on them.
