Lost my Striper viginity at ARW

Got to ARW an hour later than planned, just in time to see Lucky13 [Earnest] leaving. He gave me the lay of the land eerrrr.. water, and his last remaining shiner. An older guy had just come in with a nice striper and Earnest had seen him trolling by the break in the wall, so off I went. It was a beautiful day, and the fish didn't hurt  . Thanks Earnest, I only got one weak bite on my frozen bait, so I suspect you made my day. I should also note the fish was only hooked on the stinger, missed the forward hook entirely.

Nice fish ben,

healthy looking striper there.  we'll have to hook up closer to home sometime.

Great, glad you got out on such a nice day and hooked up with a linesides! 

Nice fish Congrats on the first of many

Way to go, FishFarmer - Thanks for the pics and report.   

we'll have to hook up closer to home sometime.

Sounds good. Howz about Don Pedro for LMB? I met a guy who claimed multiple double digit fish last spring. He also out fished me 4 to 1 at a private pond he invited me to  so I have no reason to doubt him.

I'm glad it worked out better for you. I drifted thru that area serveral time before you showed up, but nada. I had a good work out, though. It was my first time out on salt water with my kayak. Nice meeting you!

WTG on the beautiful striper FishFarmer.

Hey guys, how was the water clarity. I was over by OP today and landed at 30 butt. I'll post up after I get the pictures from my phone. Hoping to make ARW tomorrow, but if the clarity is worst than OP, I might go back the other way.

Water clarity wasn't good.  I couldn't see my dodger after it was down a foot or so.
