gulino12 Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 Let’s get it going all, already seeing some 2020 activity in the 19 thread! Went out tonight to a well known spot to test out my new (BST ) bail less reel and get the hang of it. Ended up getting into a little guy and dropping him at the Base of the pier when I gave him some slack accidentally- oh well easy release! Head shakes got me in the zone again!!! sams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saltyb92 Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 Stripers are in Boston Harbor in numbers now. Got a handful of schoolies this weekend around Boston; biggest was 23" on Saturday (in pic), more smaller schoolies 12-16" range on Sunday at same spot. Everything on weighted soft plastic shads.

Felt like I would have got more hits w/ a lighter 3/8oz and more finesse, but extra weight was needed due to wind. 4-6" size shad was key; they didn't want anything bigger than 6".

gulino12 Posted May 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) Had a few this morning by a local dam, same as above- they don’t want anything over 6”. Took me a while to crack that code. Saw lots of 5” herring get pushed up right to the shore line so I dropped to my small 3/8 oz Shad and it was lights out till I had to go to work this morning Edited May 12, 2020 by gulino12 Typo saltyb92 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beerdoh Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Some decent numbers in the hahbah and out front. Got a few on Saturday evening in howling wind & snow flurries. Got a dozen or so the last couple mornings including this purple one. johnysmoke and R.R. Bridge Fisher 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gulino12 Posted May 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 Wanted to go this morning again, but I couldn’t get out of the bed for 38 degree fish today. I’m done with the winter temps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
