Headed out last night to the HRBT to fish with my buddy PhillyJoe for some more Kayak Wars points. Ran into Kingrat while I was out there. Ended up catching a handful of 12-15" blues, one small croaker and a nice 24" striper. Joe caught 2 points eligible fish as well, a 24" and a 34" beast that he fought for 5 minutes.
Full report:
Casting for points not quantity.....Here's the 34" Joe caught.....
And the 24" I caught......
The 24" striper I landed was a blast on the light tackle I was using - the combo I used was my smallmouth/speckled trout rod: TFO G. Loomis Signature Saltwater Series Medium power, FAST action spinning rod paired with a Daiwa Regal 3000 and 30lb PowerPro braid. I caught the 24" on a Berkley Powerbait curly tail grub I had been soaking in the Gulp Alive formula for a few hours prior to launch. Not really sure the Gulp formula really helped, since I basically dropped it almost on his nose when I made the cast.
