Tidal constraints had me leaving my dock in the foggy dark at 04:15 today, then I had a 3 mile crawl to the fishing grounds which involved a mooring field and multiple lobster buoy slalom courses. Wish I could have left later with some more light or there was less fog, but chit happens.

My biggest fear was being weeded out at my spot, but that wasn't the case. The fish weren't jumping into the boat, but 2 hours of dedicated casted ended with a total of 6 fish, 2@25", 2@28", 1@29" and 1@32". All fish returned to spawn another time..

Fish were savage in attacking the popper. Unusual, but fun, to see 28" fish crash the plug, and then fly out of the water to tail walk 5 yds. Guess they were channeling bluefish today?
 
Nice job My friend! It sounds like that entire keeper biomass of slot sized fish all went to Maine. I think you guys should voluntarily throw those back before the entire year class is gone.

Just kidding. But that's what we go through here ?

LOL, I'm starting to run afoul of the 31" ceiling...

Actually all of yesterday's 28+" fish, along with today's, went back as our dining plans the next few days are set. We only keep what I can eat within 72 hours, as we don't like to freeze stripers...

Lots of keeper size bass in NY still. Summer patterns are in full swing. Tough fishing though and conditions play a big part.
