Fri 10/2 San Quentin stripers

played a bit of hooky...launched about 1pm. Did a TON of paddling, loads of bait between teh dog beach and the guard tower, finally cracked the code and landed 6, lost 2 starting about 2pm off hte water at 3:15. Nothing big, one maybe keeper all the rest probably about 16". Seemed like a nice one came unbuttoned- but they were being suicidal so could have been a dink.

went through a ton of different lures, but they finally wanted a Pet spoon.

Sounded like a lot of fun! WTG!

That's Kool your knocking it out around your Backyard

Damn you handled bizznezz for only two hours mad props 

Keo

Sounds like a fun time OTW.  Thanks for the report Steve.

Thanks for the report, Steve. Gotta try this. After today's gales, maybe.

after last night it might take a day for teh water to clear back up...

i am surprised anyone has a pet spoon.
thanks for the report

Nice going Steve... BTW... what the hell is a pet spoon???

thanks for the report

suprised? If people had pet rocks, why not pet spoons?  LOL 
PET spoon...those things are shallow water KILLERS.  http://www.striper.net/tackle_lures_spoons_pet-spoons.htm
Old skool i know, we used to use them when i was a kid- big honkin' ones, casted from Taraval hole....

if nothing else works then that's the go-to lure. I use the little #1s mostly with the white feather tail, but have the bigger sizes. Thing is awesome on redfish and snook too.

Thanks for the report and lure intel, Steve!

I still haven't caught a striper on an artificial....

WHAT????  are you freakin' kidding me....


good god man, get over there-- and troll a bit...

WTG, Steve.

Yep, same here (not Taraval hole, though). My grandfather had a bunch of those things in his bay arsenal - I think he sometimes stuck those UNCLE JOSH pork rinds on the hooks.

I was about to ask myself what a pet spoon is.  thanks for the link.  Is it possible to troll hair raiser out there?

i trolled hairraisers, x-raps, rattletraps, yozuris, some swim baits, and a couple of really odd things in my box...
