Stripers with the Pat Noonan Charter

Had childhood friend Pat with son Brian, his brother John with his son Joe,
And Buddy Bruce with daughter Haley. Little pressure on me with 5
Striper newbies. Haley started us off with the first Striper and it was a tough
Grind for hours. Once the tide turned we started to get a pick going. The kids
And all of the dads wound up popping their Striper cherries. Great job with the crew from my hood!

Haley's first

Rainy Day Striperfest with DJ Palathinkal charter

Had regular DJ back with Terin, TomX2, Lamar and Walter. Got our bait
And looked around slow bite on the mojos to start, made a move and with
Turn of the tide fish went on the chew. Ended the day with a dozen fish To
30lbs. Great seeing the guys and glad they had a good time with the crappy
conditions.

Ended the trip early and convinced the charter to take the fresh Striper

Had the Striper prepared in Scampi sauce, Fra Diavlo, and blackened,
With their best red sangria, dammmmnnnn!!!!!
