Right on schedule, I landed my first migrating striper of the year along the oceanfront today. I knew it was a new fish because of the sea lice on its body. The fish was just shy of a slot. It hit a 4-inch Cocahoe minnow fished off a one ounce jighead. I had one other hit. I fished multiple spots and made a lot of casts but it was just this one fish. I tried in the Bay yesterday and blanked.
So, the season has started, and will only get better from here.

| Its the first migrating striper of the year for me. Look closely and you will see sea lice on the back half of the fish. |
