Last report, I promise.
Took a buddy out for his first Hobie/striper LTJing outing at the BB. He quickly hooked into and lost a 28"+ off the shallow piles and then we decided to press N...worked the sewer pipe and noticed breaking fish further N. What ensued was mayhem. Perhaps 2, 3 acres of blitzing striper from 16-30". Caught several with 6" of line dangling in the water on the side of the yak. 40-50 between the two of us, too many keeper sized to count. Topwater was too effective and treble hooks took too long to unhook. Unfortunately the boats took notice of our yelping and we were shortly surrounded. Went back to the piles and jigged up 10 or 12 more. Great way to end my short stint with Bay fishing.
