Stripers on the river...

[SmokinPiney]

Took the day off yesterday to hit the river for stripers with two of my buddies. We launched and made a run a few miles north to load up on herring. We got our limit of herring and also caught a nice size shad then headed back south and anchored up for some stripers. After a few run offs and catfish bites we finally landed a 29", 30", and 33" all within an hr. Sure turned out to be a good mornin spent with friends in the great outdoors.

Catching Bass is always a nice way to send the afternoon. Looks like a nice river.

Hehheh . . . I'm glad I'm not the only one here who reads things too quickly and gets all excited . . . only to see lots of pictures of fish.

Probably another 3 months before they start here, if at all. Some years they run hard, last couple have been a washout.

28" is the limit and we're allowed 2 per person plus you can purchase a bonus tag for $2. Unfortunately we can't keep em in the river until after june. They're spawning right now so we gotta let em get their groove on, ya know??

And yes they're some damn good eatin!!
