Going to throw this bad boy only tomorrow

Lite trout 168 s waver

Weird thread...

Yeah was too excited about the lure. If evo or Jason were fish I’d catch them and throw them as far as I could away from the water.

Stripers have been off to a good start on the beaches here in monterey bay.

Good. Haven’t seen many stripers in the delta but just a matter of time

I went 3 for 4 on schoolies off the beach this morning on a Daiwa SP minnow.

Nice!

Nothing today water wasn't as good.

In Scottsdale for spring training. I’ll fish again soon.

Any pictures of them striper's ?

Striper's what? Yeah I got a couple. In my phone though and I don't feel like using a photo bucket type thing so I don't want to try and figure out how to upload unless someone has a really easy way. I could email them to myself and upload to my computer but then what.

My first encounter with Stripers was while fishing for shad in the Sacramento. Every once in while you'd hook a striper. Never landed one, but got more action from them while shad fishing than while bait fishing for them.

Kinda like the first time I fished pinks in the Dungeness. About every hour of fishing somebody in the group would tie into a summer steelhead. That got exciting in a hurry.

pm sent.

Last 2 nights has been a bait show a little further north from where I have been getting them. I am not a fan of soaking bait in the surf. I want to stick and move lol. Going south tomorrow to fish for ditch pickle spotted bass and my favorite down there,the white bass. 2 years ago when we had all that rain I landed over 60 in just a couple hours on rooster tails. Such a blast on light tackle.

Landed at least 50 white bass. Landed quite a few spots. Because,fishing...

On rooster tails? So cal? Sounds fun.

Rooster tails in white and fire tiger,my buddy on a fly that looks like nothing in nature,and a bunch on a fluttering kastmaster as well. Spots allcame on purple plastics shaky head style on the bottom or on a real slow fall.

Sounds like a lot fun Vapid. Wish I could get in on that action. What size of typical fish are we talking about here and what class rod & line?

3/4 to 2 pounds. I throw spinners on 6 pound test on a 7 to 7.5 foot 4-8 or 4-10 pound rod and reel. I like my MHX I built with a shimano ci4 1000 on it. 5 wt fly rod although you could go down smaller .

Vapid,
White bass, as is white sea bass?

After I name it and put it somewhere easy to find on my computer, I upload to https://postimages.org/
Then grab the direct link and paste it in your post.

Boom !


ETA:
Proper pronunciation is "Stripah !"
The stripahs will know that there are crackers on the beach if they hear striperr this and striperr that.
Favorite topwater : Stripah Swipah !
Not really, I just like sayin' Stripah Swipah !

Another good one is a 9" Sluggo with a 1oz or 1.5oz jig head.
Drop.......RIP!.......drop.......RIP!

Lookout stripahs while I whip out my big 9 inch !

Can you catch Stripahs! with a 1.5" pink worm?

If not, I'll just watch from the beach.

Nah.
I would keep that 1.5" pink worm holstered and use a Man Worm on those Stripahs!

No. White bass...

Was in Florida this past weekend. Caught a bunch of Jacks. They pull hard!

White Bass are a relative to Stripers. I think there is another species in there. Whites are primarily a lake fish, school, and when they are on the bite action is pretty fast. Don't think they are all that big.

They have crossed them with Stripers, to create the "Wiper". Larger than a White. still piscivorous. Commonly used further east, i think.

I want to fish for redfish someday. Another bucket list is to fish Montauk or long island sound for stripers bluefish and false albacore from the beach.

Good deal.
Those jacks are fun to catch.
Toro is the perfect nickname for them.
What part of Florida did you fish?

Casting iron from a drifting boat on bluefish is a kick in the ass.
In clear water, watching the attack develop might be the most fun.
Winter steelhead power gear.
Then you walk around with a boner for the rest of the day.

Stripahs !

I'm wanting in on the topwater action a la John Skinner...

This looks insane!

Sebastian inlet. I’ve been there several times and to me, it’s world class fishing with its number of species and quality of big fish.
