Went out Friday evening and loaded up with about a dozen mongos (quick solo trip) running free lines out the back and bankside planers, not a whole lot of action maybe two short chases, but then it happened as I was fighting the wind to stay straight the bank board got crushed, and as I reeled down I realized he was swimming to me, when I finally caught up to him I realized he was a stud and he fight was awesome and resulted in my new personal best of 37" and 20 lbs!
4/2
Me and a friend's Dad schedules finally met up and planned for this morning so I went out Saturday and loaded up with around 30 6-12 inch gizzards to keep overnight, we reached our spot around 7:15 and just as I finished the spread the bank board took off resulting in a nice 31" fish, and it was game on from then until around lunch we had awesome action blowups, chases, lost two at the boat and a few misses, we did land another 27" fish for Jim and I caught probably the fattest fish I've landed at 35", even seen a huge school of Stripers busting around 8 am just out of casting distance, best trip action wise of 2017 so far......... So what do you do on a day like this?
You get your dog, call your buddy Matt and hit it again, running the same setup as all weekend freelines and planers, didn't do alot of Mongo hunting just loaded up on dollarbills and took off, right off we got one out the back, and had steady action afterwards, landed another and even caught one casting into some breaking fish, guess I eventually have to live up to my name! Lol
