Inaugural Striper Trip

Today was my first striped bass trip. TR and I boarded the Old Yeller with John. John is a local striper legend (and neighbor of ours) and was gracious enough to take us out. The morning started out kind of cold but warmed up enough throughout the day. We fished with live bait and spent most of the day trolling and part of the day anchored down with cut bait. Although some would have called it a slow day, I was quite pleased being my first trip and all. We reeled in two fish that were about 8 lbs. and two that were a little smaller.
