Loaded, no other word to describe it. The kids (Ben, Chris, Jon) and I met at the south shore for an afternoon of fishing. We were in for quite a day. At times, all of us were onto fish at the same time. This was one of the biggest hits of stripers that I have seen this fall. There were schoolies, a few keepers and some blues in the mix. It did not go without notice as a picket fence of fishermen numbering upwards of 50 surfcasters were casting for the easy pickings. The kids and I landed over 60 stripers and a lone blue. I estimate that collectively, the whole bunch of guys fishing probably landed several HUNDRED stripers with most of the fish going 14-22 inches, but there were also some keepers in the mix. Once again, the Cocahoe mounted on a jighead caught most of the fish, though I also saw a lot of fish taken on Storm lures too. This fabulous November we are experiencing just continues to produce at a record pace. Numbers wise it has to rate as one of the best Novembers I have ever seen.
