On the Salt Again

Welp had a great morning out on the salt. Macks were plentiful but stripers were slow to the end of the morning. Only caught one mid morning. Tried all our good spots. Last stop floated down a section in about 8 feet of water. Every pass they would come screaming out of a deep dark area into the shallow and slam the macks. It was sooooo cool watching every hit then waiting a few seconds while the line tore of the real then close the bail with fish on. We even had a double. Too bad we ran out of bait. They were slamming even the dead bait we threw out.  I was able to get three in the boat and and my friend got 2 within 15 minutes. Lost several others. My friend lost a really big one. Saw it for a moment then it broke his line. The coolest thing was watching them come in to hit the bait. Fresh bait would go nuts trying to get away from them. They even jumped out of the water to avoid being eaten.

This one is a 29 incher that is now in the freezer.
