Went out to wollaston beach this morning to try to catch a few stripers. started the day at 4 am high tide was just after 3 am but looks like it was at least 2 and a half hours after high tide by time I got there. water was running out from the river. there were 2 other guys fishing from the beach side neither has had any luck yet seen some schoolies maybe a keeper or 2 jumping to bait fish. there was a lot of bait in the water. had a 7 foot ugly stick medium action and compared to the other 2 I was the heaviest rigged person. none of us caught anything or got hits but a guy that joined us later pulled up two small stripers maybe 20 inches in length. we were all throwing lures and plugs.

went out to jp pond tonight since i got off a little early. fished about an hour close to the beach/cove. caught about 10 small bass on rapala swim bait. tried the senko but no good. even got one to hit on a torpedo. not bad for somethin to do at 1am. nothing over a pound.

Got up early to try the rez for an hour or 2 to see if my senko skills are up to par. Just started to try this as an addition to mostly topwater and swimbait fishing. Pulled up at 5am threw on a pumpkin with black flake and started working the shore line around the dam. 5 casts in bam.. 2 pounder..went down by the run off and cast a few times picked up another maybe a pound. Did this for about an hour totalling 5 fish mostly in the pound area in size. Packed up and went to my little honey hole 10 minutes away and killed them for 3 hours. Maybe 26 fish in total but only downside was most if not all were under or around 2 pound range. Made a video in which I caught fish in my first 3 casts but came out blurry so not really worth posting. All in all a good day to fish as most were still on there beds close to shore.
