Striper fishing this morning was consistent but not fabulous. There were fish almost every place that I tried including far downriver in the clearer saltier water. The river above the harbor was running quite brown and dirty from the thunderstorms last night. The fish were still there but moved some from where they have been holding.
What a treat this week has been I have had a good variety of trips that have taken me on the saltwater and the local ponds. Striper fishing continues to improve as the fish move up from the south. Still no real big fish (there never are early on) but good numbers of fish that make it fun for everyone.
My son and one of his friends carried a canoe to one of my favorite bass ponds and had an excellent afternoon of fishing. The smallmouth bass are on the spawning beds this week and they caught by their own estimation “a bunch of fish” of course I am now striper fishing for a while and won’t have a day to get up there before next week. Interesting that the fly rod accounted for many more fish than a spinning rod, sometimes it just happens that way.
