Nitefly (Eric) and myself fished the South River area launching out of Beverly Triton Beach Park. Eric used the launch a few times, this was a first for me. It's a great place to put-in...even with the sand, immediately in big water. Low winds and water temps were around 49 degrees.
Quality sure beat quantity for the day. Four fish were caught between the two of us despite the hours of trolling. All were keepers, my stripers were in the mid twenties and have been eating well for the inevitable winter months. All the action was close to launch, following the channel ledges. I only saw a few baitballs underneath me, but still was showing promising larger marks on the FF. We headed north, Eric went deep towards the lighthouse. I turned left and fished the early M&G waters I had luck with early in the year. Hoping the baitfish were still staging at the mouth of South River, but the FF was not proving so.
No fish caught on the go-to xraps and lucky craft plugs. I hooked up with a 3/4 oz chrome/chartreuse rattletrap and also on a 1oz road runner bucktail white/chartreuse and a 6" gotcha white grub trailer. Water depths between 9-18 Ft produced the results. It was a beautiful day and a pleasure meeting Nitefly!
