went out super early today, fog was thick, but we ended up scoring 3 nice stripers! so glad we braved the weather. using live minnows and it paid off, was worth every minute. can't wait to get back out there!

man it was chilly today out there! we didn't land much, just 1 striper around 6lbs, but the fog made it kinda spooky but cool. went with dude from work, we had fun even if the fish weren’t biting. next time!
