New Brighton 7/8/09

Launched @ 2 today, fished outside kelp hooked a few small RF. Came in closer and scored a 26" STRIPER then a 25" BUTT.
Tons of bait still around. Hooked sardines, anchovies and a couple sm macks for bait. Caught both fish on troll using sardines.

Very nice!! What did the striper hit? I was just thinking about doing the same thing. Thanks for the report.....Andy

That is very nice looking water. Congrats on the fish. Making bait and then fishing with it is a blast. How were you trolling?

great combo - congrats 

Nice fish!

Just bouncing off the bottom with about 3' of line through a slider, 6oz weight, single hook in sardine head, trebble in tail. Paddle away...slow

Nice combo!

That's just awsome! Were you fishing alone?

Cool, we fished like that at Linda Mar last sat. 1 ling but no striper love. I only used a 2oz weight though and a 36 in leader of 30lb floro.#2/0 light wire circle hook. Maybe we can hook up at NB sometime

Nice.  You can get them from shore this time of year.

You can't go wrong with a butt and a striper.

That's a great score. Somebody's eating good tonight. That place hasn't been too kind to me in the past. Just when I think I'm done fishing that place, a report like this comes up and teases me...

Nice Hali & Striper!  Thanks for the report and pictures.

Great job on a couple of tough ocean catches! You must be pretty stoked.
