See that white water seam in the background?  Right there. Every time. They hit  on the drift, on the mend and short stripping through the current.



My Beer Tie good luck charm still works btw.   Thanks mr. Snowhite!

On the DC side about 300 yards upstream from the bridge in the big eddy.  I climbed out on a rock to reach the current.

I made it down to the river for about an hour of fishing this evening and it was absolutely overflowing with small white perch and herring. I hooked a few on small clousers. The first striper I caught cuffed up a small baitfish about three inches long. I went to a 2/0 clouser and hooked a handful more of 12-inchers in quick succession before I had to go.

I went there yesterday. I caught striped bass first time but have to release it – size. After couple minutes, my line pulled hard and my two-hands rod was “U”. I pulled the line back and would not able to pull anymore, then decided to reel it! After 5 minutes fighting, finally the monster size Shad came into my net – 23”-24” size! I asked Mexico guy to take a picture of me. He only took one picture before it slip off my hands! Ahhhhh! It is hard to see the length! Oh well! It left its signature in my net – fish scales.  I am not sure I can frame them – haha. Again – Shad Davala version works well!

Nice fish! No easy task in the current. Picture quality is also very good.  ( note breaking fish behind you!)

You can’t keep striped bass in DC until May 16th.  After May 16th, you can keep two (2) – see link below.

Yeah I saw a lot of breaks. I was not sure what exact they were trying to do – eat something on top water or “Boo” to me!
