Striped Bass Counts by Boat - May 20, 2020

CJ Petrowski was fishing from shore in the Rotary park area using anchovies his striper was 31 and 7/8 inches and weighed in at 10.56 pounds and again anchovies produced this fine catch. And a bit daring he was using 8 lb test line. I would say 12 is a great size with a lot of our anglers going a bit heavier. I do know your lighter line seems to produce more bites but you do have to have a good handle on that drag to bring them in.

Our local angler and a colorful fellow Thom Gallent took Kaylene Burright and Christian Moran out on his boat to do some striper fishing and Kaylene landed a nice 8.08 pound stripper at 28 and 1/2 inches using her brand new zebco, what a great trip. They were in the lower big bend area using anchovies.
