Goodhands 10/5/16

[Gary G]

Launched at Goodhands this morning 6:40 AM (sunrise 7:05, high tide 8:23 AM) with high hopes of some surface action given the dropping water temp's. Fished shorelines all in the creek area and Prospect Bay with no luck. At 9:15 gave up on surface action and went to 3" paddletails (solid chartreuse and solid white) and caught a dozen or so Rock in the 10"-13" size class in 45 minutes, so they are definitely there, just don't want surface lures. Started trolling back to the ramp and at 10:00 AM the rod went down hard and I pulled in a 21" Rock. Nice end to the morning! He's in the 'frig now! Circled around a second time and pulled in a 16". Back to Ramp by 10:20 and off to work. Didn't see any birds working anything.
Maybe some surface action next week?

I have always had great luck trolling that area, glad to see some big boys have moved in there.

I'd love to get over there, only hear good things about the Kent Narrows

Good job Gary.

Stripers are fickle. Some days they come up and some days they won't.

But you found what they wanted today.
