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!
