Open Boat Liveline and Topwater Stripers 4/16

This PM had a open boat group which started with some slow live lining putting fish in the boat but missed a lot of fish due to circles. Got on a top water bite where Brian Trillo had the biggest fish of the day exploding on a Cranky's metal lip.  Had some good shots at them on top but the fog got so thick that we lost track of them. 








Bruce Jernick Annual Striper Trip

This AM Capts Greg and Kenny had Bruce Jernick and family out for their annual spring trip. Had to deal with pea soup fog for the first half of the trip was brutal but got on some nice fish.
