First Fletcher's Striper

[camelbird]

Went out on a buddy's boat this morning. Striper fell for a 5" storm shad bumping off the bottom

Caught a handful of hickories and a few monster cats

Wow, and he's holding the cat with a Fish Grip tool. Impressive! How many lbs was that monster?

[camelbird]

Thanks! I would guess somewhere around 40lbs.. buddy in the back bowed up with a 35lber

nice cat!!!

Great striper too.

What did you catch the cats on?

[camelbird]

GrandMart Special... huge chunks of cutbait on 9/0 circle hooks, 6oz weight. 50lb braid main line 50lb mono leader..fish finder rigs.

If you launch out of Fletcher's cove there is a huge hole above the cove (60ft deep) and two huge holes below the cove (45-50, 60ft deep).
