A buddy of mine has been trying to figure out a Striper fishery in his drift boat. He asked if I wanted to join him Sunday and I said why not. Weather was awful. Band of rain after band of rain, but the low light made our chances of catching a striper a little better. I managed to hook and land one in the first two hours. Man they are a brute fish that don't stop fighting. 24 inches isn't a bad start as I cut my teeth on stripers. I'll be back to say the least.

| The save. |

Thanks for reading.
Tug is the drug. Stripers can ruin you. Forget all about sleep, sun, food, etc. They will starve you.
