More Inlet Fishing.
Caught a bit of the Sox game. Left it tied, which was heartbreaking, but fishing comes first.
I predicted bite time to be around 11:30-11:45, but just in case, I showed up to my spot at 10:30.
I was a little disheartened to find that the wind was no longer coming from the southwest, but now southeast. Tossing up current meant throwing directly into it which kind of stunk, but eventually it settled down and I was able to get my plug to the spot I wanted it.
I could hear bass busting way out of casting range, but I continued to cast to this spot hoping I could catch them leaving... I threw a yellow bomber for a while, then a large darter, even a popper for a few, before switching to a schoolbus pattern "magnum long a" bomber. At 11:45, my tenth or so cast, I finally felt a bump. I paused, twitched, felt another bump. I paused again and slowed it down even more than I had been reeling to begin with. Just when I got the feeling it wouldn't hit it, the fish did and ran with it.
Ended up with a nice, healthy 32" striper. The only one of the night.
Apparently, we still can't add photos, so check my photos for a shot kd the catch.
Thanks for the compliment, Bloo. I would post the times I fail to find anything but it would just be the same damn thing over and over again.
