Water temps just under 50... Some reports of big ones caught... If the weather's right, I might go tempt some stripers with some eels on Sunday. Can't think of a better way to start the year. I might even try my hand at togging with gulp crab

I'm gonna soak live eels on the big rod, and while I'm waiting for the big bite, I want to try casting or jigging a plastic eel on the ML jigging rod. You guys think a striper will bite this eel (it's 8" long)?
I also have some Gulp eels. I can't imagine they could work better than a live eel, but I'm curious. -
I'm sure they'll bite, if they're around. I have a couple of those to try also, but I generally like to troll deep dive crankbaits or cast 1-2 ounce jigs with bkds, grub worms or Gulp mullets.
Wx is warming up this weekend, so I may try CBBT. If the winds are up and easterly or westerly, you'll be OK at Kipto. Good luck!2015 Hobie Outback (yellow)

I read a couple reports and it looks like some big stripers are be caught. One guy caught a 68 pounder. Another fellow on a jet ski caught a bunch within two hours trolling Stretch Magnum and a Mojo. Looks like it's really rock time!2015 Hobie Outback (yellow)

That was Brian Jetski ....... and he caught them out of Rudee which is the ocean side at VB not the eastern shore ......... ya might wanna fish out of Rudee ......... Per Marty, the bay temps went back up a couple of degrees ........ was 54 last weekend ........ the fish seem to be within 1-2 miles of the beach ........Originally posted by tufnik View PostComment

I cant go Friday either. Sunday's my only chance. Winds don't look so good right now, but hoping the forecast changes... and with the protection of the ships I'm hoping it'll be ok.Originally posted by Redfish12 View PostComment

It's Friday or bust for me. Anyone want to ride down together? I'm hoping Shield is feeling better but he may have to bail. If so I have one spot open...Used to fish more.Comment

Yep, winds don't look good tomorrow and the weekend. One forecast for Saturday is about 15+ mph with gusts over 30. That means CBBT is out of the picture for yakers
It's also not good outside of Rudee, unless you're on a boat.
Kipto may be doable with SW winds. If direction changes to SSW or S, then it will not be fun for yakers. Been there, done that.
Anyway, good luck on getting some cows!Last edited by tufnik; 12-29-2011, 04:47 PM.2015 Hobie Outback (yellow)

Rudee looks very doable ......... remember ..... the land hooks around and blocks alot of the wind/wave action within a mile or so ........ also it looks 10-15 tomorrow from the wind siteOriginally posted by tufnik View PostYep, winds don't look good tomorrow and the weekend.
