Beverly, Massachusetts

Here is Part 2 of my Sunday session with my incredible son. Part 1 was all about our cod success. Part 2 is some of the best Striper action we saw ALL year! I honestly thought they had left town and began their trek to the Carolina’s. But after catching a boatload of mackerel live bait, even despite seeing no real signs of life (no birds flocking, no bait or fish blitzing the surface - I let my instincts lead the way and we went hunting. After 20 minutes of fussing around and seeing almost nothing - just as I was about to give up and try my luck at cod — there they were… the herd of Stripers, chasing schools of bunker and random mackerel in deeper 35 feet of water. And despite seeing two dozen other boats in the general area, none of them seemed to notice that we alone floated right on top of them and saw immediate action. We landed 8 in a 45-minute window of action … 3 just under 20 lbs and 5 slot fish (we kept 2 that were 30” fish). Usually I am giving nasty stares to over-eager fisherman looking to cut in on my action. In this one rare case - nobody saw that we were reeling in fish after fish. In fact, boat after boat gave up and left while we caught one after another. Nobody paid us ANY attention. Don’t you just love when the Fishing God (the one… the only!! 🙏) smiles upon you!!! Woohoo!! 👌 💪 🎣 🤙

Fish Angler predicted a great morning of fishing. The Striper did NOT disappoint!
