Ft. Smallwood 6/29

Launched from Ft. Smallwood around 7-7:30 am and water looked fairly calm. I immediately hooked up with some small stripers and paddled to the fishing pier but the wind and white caps were a bit much. So I paddled back near the launch site and fished. Caught some more small stripers and perch. Left around 11:00. Marks lure was the most hit for the day, thanks Mark.

Harry,

Sorry I couldn't get out yesterday morning. Too bad the wind curtailed your trip. But it's good to know the perch are getting active there and that you found a few to bite the spinner.

Good job Harry. About time the tasty perch are moving in.

Nice going Harry. It is great to catch fish in waters near your home.

Mark's lures are proven fish catchers. Yesterday afternoon he and I were running around Eastern Bay in my center console casting to shallow areas and stump fields. Mark (using his own jigheads) caught twice as many fish as I did -- two of them were massive slab side white perch, the others stripers. I did get the largest striper, however.

Glad you were able get some tugs on the line! Was Marks lure the chartreuse one in the pics?
