| Striper Central For all you chasers of the linesiders, here is your "special" place to chat 'bout schoolies to cows. Long live the Striped Bass !! ... at least until it's baked with butter and bread crumbs. |
What have you got to say about the topic of: "Schools out - but the schoolies are still in". Here's how is started: "Fished the BFD River today at out going low. A little unconventionally but productively. Some "

| Fished the BFD River today at out going low. A little unconventionally but productively. Some of you know I fish every day, every where, for anything. Mostly if not always from shore. So I care a lot of different things with me. Today after work I went down to my favorite river hear in BFD for a few tosses. After going through a few crankbaits and a 1/2 oz kroc spoon I had a crazy idea. I had this old 3/8 kastmaster, rusted treble hook and none of the white buck-tail left. I took apart the split ring and attached the a yellow over white #4? fly recently acquired from Ebay. Now this place has been producing fairly well. I've been catching some good size schoolie stripers here for a few weeks now in the low 20" mainly. Maybe three in an hour or two. All on the 3/8 Kroc or a Yozuri crank. So today, same thing. Two stripers on yellow/green crank baits then nothing forever. I finish assembling the fly/spoon. Take my first cast, bang...22". Second cast, bang...14". Third cast, leaf. Forth cast, bang another 14" or so. Three or four casts later I had two more hits and then some weeds for a bit. Once that cleared, bang another 16" and I believe the 14" I caught earlier. Looked like the same girl. All total I had about 6 fish on the yellow over white fly/kastmaster combo, two missed hits, and two on the Yuzori. All in one hour. The moral, try something new, different, whatever...get out and fish.![]() I might not be fly fishing or going for salmon, but they're catching fish and exactly the way I thought they would when I saw them on Ebay. There is another set for sale if your interested. Nice guy too. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...ME:B:FSEL:US:1
