I started the morn like any other, early and with high hopes. It got better when I saw Dolphins on the bar. My rod soon went down and I was rewarded with a nice Dogfish. I stayed a little longer and decided to move North from Beach Haven.

I traveled up to Brant Beach where I ran into a few friends from PA, so I decided to fish with them and catch up on things. A short while later, this Striper hit my clam. It’s nice to have a keeper off the surf but no luck with Fluke or Bluefish! I tried later at 5:00 PM with club member Glen Minor but we only managed a few more Dogfish.

My Striper was entered into the LBI Spring Derby and our club Inshore Slam. It weighed in at 10.2 lbs and measured 30 1/4″.

Good luck to everyone!
