Hungry fish and happy anglers. That is all.

Yesterday’s striper fishing trip was slow on the fish count but the wildlife more than made up for the fishing. It was an early start with a low tide. Before we even got on the boat there were two deer on the opposite side of the harbor. Playing in the rockweed on the shore; as soon as I started the outboard they were gone. Our trip downriver was dotted with seals, harbor porpoises a few ospreys and a few fish to the boat.

I have a GoPro camera mounted on both my landing nets. The camera is set to take a picture every second and I turn it on when a client has a fish on to get the happy face and the fish when if comes on board. Because I turn it on well before the fish is ready to be landed it gets some interesting shots. For instance I had one last year of the lure flying through the air after the fish had spit the hook.
