Had one of those days you dream about to tide you over the winter. Launched at daybreak and soon spotted birds working . For the next 2 hours it was top water heaven with more 17-18” strippers than I could count. Did land a 19” but threw it back thinking I’ll get bigger. In the mix were bluefish running 13” to 17”. I kept a 13 for lunch. I thought a had keeper rocks twice but just those big nasty blues. After a couple hours the sun got high enough and tide low enough that they went deeper. Trolled up a few more stripers but was getting bit off just as frequently.
As the tide went slack a switched to bottom bouncing Gulp for flounder. 1/8 oz plain jig head with chartreuse 3” swimming minnow Gulp. Got 7 flounder over 14”, including two 15 1/2” and this nice 17” keeper. Lost another this size boat side. A real blast on my perch rod.
Puking up silversides left and right. Had to hose out my boat because it stank like a frat house basement Sunday morning.
Don’t know if I’ll have a day like this again this year, but I hope so.
