Big Stripers Are Moving In-Open Seats For This Weekend

Capt. Roland Lizotte
August 25, 2008
Race Point - Saltwater Fishing Report

Today started around 530am with a pretty heavy fog leaving Brewer's Marine. We had Mark, Tim and Rob aboard for a few hours of striped bass fishing. When you think fishing has slowed down, just give it a day or a change in the winds and it comes right back. That is what we found out with this trip or with the fog but as soon as we made it out into the bay, it opened up a bit and made for a quick ride across. As we got closer to Race Point, the fog settled back in with near zero visibility and that is when the radar comes in handy. The radar was our eyes for the first 3 hours of the day today. It was also nice because we could see where all the boats were grouped up, more than likely on fish.

After giving the routine lesson on how to work the Okuma T20L reels, Mark and Tim were up first. It was not long before Mark and Tim had their first fish of the day in the boat. We managed to put two nice keeper bass in the box right off the start and that set the pace for the day. We were marking piles of fish on the sonar and I knew with the fog keeping the sun at bay, these fish would stick around for a while. Rob switched off at the rod with Tim and within a few minutes, he had his first bass up into the boat. For the next two hours, this cycle continued with our rods bent over all morning and doubles with each pass over the fish. As a matter of fact, we managed to get out limit of fish within 1 hour and 30 minutes, talk about fast fishing!!! It became one of those trips where we started picking which fish we wanted, throwing back a lot of nice fish, casting with
light tackle and the crew getting sore arms from all of the action. You can not complain about that.

In the end, we had our limit of fish in less than two hours of fishing and a great day on the water. Tim was amazed at how calm the water was and how fast the fishing was. Rob and Mark were impressed with how many fish we caught and how fast it was. We ended up with 8 nice fish in the boat ranging in size from 28" to 36" and lots of throw back fish (many of which were keepers). The guys had a blast on the water and we are looking forward to having them aboard again. As I mentioned earlier, if one day is slower with fishing, rest assured, the next day will be better. Now is the time of year when those striped bass begin to feed for their fall migration. Expect the big fish to move in through September and we will be moving right along with them. Come on and get "Hooked Up" on the Jersey Girl with Capt. Roland Lizotte and 1st Mate Denise. We have some Sunday's open through September and a few days during the weeks coming up.
