Striper, but no Rudee speck and CBBT tautog (Jan 20, 2018)

OK, I finally made to CBBT after December last year. The wind was do-able, under 10 MPH for the CBBT fishing.

I fished Rudee first for speck for 2.5 hours. The top water temp was 34-36. I could locate schools of fish in 20-35’ of water. But fish were striper not speck I thought. After catching 3 striper @19-22”, I hurriedly headed for CBBT.

The top water temp was 36-38F at CBBT. As expected I had zero bite for 3.5 hours.
After the double skunk, now I can give up (accepting the laws of mother nature calmly) Rudee and CBBT until the water warms up.

I guess the recent speck die-off really put a dent in them there. At least you are still getting out on the water!
