Striped Bass

Spring Striped Bass

<div>My spring season was great right up until the summer closure. We had top water fish shallow in the mornings and great fishing on isolated structure all by myself through out the day. I expect the fall season to be just good and likely better with fish blitzing under birds trying to eat the bait hungry Striped Bass have pushed up to the surface.&nbsp;</div><div>my summer will be spent further south pursing Cobia and Bull Red fish, sorry if that is what youre looking for I am already blocked out until fall. If you're reading this I hope to have a chance to fish with you this fall and take you on an unforgetable fishing experince.</div>
