Striper Fishin' with Will

I took Will Tullock (a summer intern at Strata-G) to the upper end of Long Island tonight.  We started about 6:30 p.m.  I got good sized (~2.5-3.5”) shad minnows in Center Farm, and we headed up river.  Will caught two nice rockfish (4 lbs and 6 lbs – see picture) right off the bat at the drop off just above the osprey nest at the uppermost end of Long Island.  
We proceeded to catch several other white bass as the evening cooled off – the good white bass action started around 8:00 p.m.  Will really seemed to enjoy himself, and as a thank you for taking him his mom made me a plate of the finest brownies I believe I have ever tasted.  Thanks Ms. Tullock!
