Laura-Jay Charters 7/10 Striped-Bass Fishing

Great Charter today with a group of six guys from Barnstable and Sandwich.  Most of these guys fish quite a bit but they have small boats and their range is a bit limited.  Very nice to have an experienced group of fisherman on board.

Made the trip across the bay and found good #’s bass away from the crowd.  The fish set up for the entire tide right on one set of lobster pots, so staying with the fish was pretty easy.  It always takes the pressure off quickly when you get a couple of keepers on the first pass.  Fishing stayed very solid for most of the morning – it started getting a little crowded after a while, but the fish turned back on once the boat traffic subsided.  Ended up getting our limit, without anything that really even needed to be measured and some school fish mixed in as well to keep the action going.

This was actually a bachelor party, and since the guys were having a great time we forgot to look at the clock for a while and stayed a little late.  The extra time paid off, as that’s the Bachelor in the photo with his best fish of the day.

All in all, great day, with a solid group of guys.
