Got to the river at 5:30 AM. Casted out and I swear withing 15 seconds I had a two pounder on the line.
Re baited the hook and again, not more than one minute, Whammo! another.
It was now twenty minutes to six and things were looking good...
I fished til 10:30 AM and didnt see a bite or nibble after the first two . Neither did anyone else.
I guess it was my day but not as productive as I had hoped...
Two in the frying pan is waaaay more than I m used to.
The difference was in the way I hooked into the anchovie.
My buddy and "expert" striper guide gave me an anchovie "threader".
He said that he buys them at the local store.
They are 69 cents each and really work well.
Heck, Grandpa Steve can make these for much less. Later on this week, I plan on making a few to see if I can produce the threaders and ad them to my eBay selling items....
So, all in all, it was a good day fishing. Heck any day is a good fishing day.....
