Fluke/Stripers

Bachala

Angler
Fished Memorial Day afternoon, Oyster Bay to Lloyd's Neck for fluke. Had only 1 short fluke and a missed hit. Not much appeared to be going on with the boats near me. No surface activity, no apparent bait in the water or birds working anything. Headed back in an tried near the CSH Light. Started jigging a lure for bass that I had marked and as I was ready to throw in the towel caught a nice slot bass at 31" . When I fileted her found that she was loaded with (emerald green) eggs. From what I understand that means they were fertilized? but shouldn't they have been released in fresh water? Why was she still holding them? Either way, it was a great shake down trip and happy that the boat started up immediately on the first turn of the key.

Green eggs are unfertilized.
