Striper fishing update

Went striper fishing yesterday morning and hooked up my first striper ever!

It took a lot of line from my reel but I knew it was a striper because of how it bent my rod tip all the way to the breaking point.

I was using a clear a just a bobber placed 3 feet from the lure which was a white 1/8 oz marabou jig.

He bent the hook a little and got off. I will keep you updated on when I get one reeled in.

Big Spot

Again out fishing around the diving seagulls at Holly Park for striper using my 3/8 oz bucktail. I picked up a few small thread fin shad on my lure so I knew I was in the school of baitfish.

I casted the bucktail out and started slow rolling it back with water temps in the high 40s and low 50s around lots of rock and deeper water I picked up a big spotted bass this morning. Check him out, he's been eating good!

Frigid Bass

Went out earlier today and was fishing around a lot of seagulls. I was actually fishing for striper using a Captain Mack's 3/8 oz buck tail jig in white. I casted it out on my Daiwa G shock rod and reel on 14 lb test berkley trilene line.

I was jigging it up off the bottom of a rock bed and then started pulling it up and slow rolling it through the water column when a spotted bass started stripping line off my reel.

I have never seen bass as active after a cold front like last night! Air temps today were in the 30s and water temps in the 40s and these bass where hitting topwater! They were chasing shad like I've never seen. These were no striper because they were barely hitting the top unlike a striper that makes the water explode when hitting topwater.

 Here are the results of my frigid cold temp fishing trip today with a buck tail jig.
