Non-yak stripers, coast to coast.

Got off work at about 3, real close to muir so's I went for some perch w/motor oil grub and nailed this piss and vinagar dink about 5 feet in front of me and he just screamed out like a shot, lost most of his umph on the first run, but it was strong! Maybe only 15 inch or so, released, of course.

Then I had an estimate that fell thru in Navato, so's I tried for some action on Galinas creek off Smith Ranch Road, tossing rattletraps into a very low tide and POW! goes this guy, he went 21" and will be dinner.

Stripers all over the place - way to go, Ben!   

Thanks for the report and photos. 

Cool report and pictures! Thanks.

Duuude!!!!  Second picture:  Is that to warn off neighboring tribes?   

I usually don't put the little smiley face characters, but I couldn't help myself.  Awesome report and pics.

Oh yeah... I guess it's about on...

At first I thought that striper in the second picture was sitting on a forked stick driven into the mud of the bank.  I just realized it is just a stringer.  My imagination at work.  Still an awesome picture!

DUUUUDE!! that is a NICE outing(s)& Xcellent OUTCOME(s)! Good sign for the future    
...so I went for perch and got this, then HAD TO do this & got THAT?!   
Way to plan your fishing time around work Ben!...that never seems to work for me though.
