Went out around 8am and hit the Vegas Wash for bait. Saw about half a dozen boats on the right side, so we went left.
Bait was made in about 30 minutes.
Saw toady79, he was yakless but making bait from shore.
We left the shad area and hit Sand Island for the drift. The wind was lite but we set up our Carolina rigs. One ounce weight and a 1/0 hook.
The drift was the Striper producing approach as we saw many boats anchored with little to no action. Around 11am the bite went wide open, we could only handle one pole each to avoid line tangles.
Drifting or slow trolling with live bait produces more bites than anchoring.
Finally called it at 2:30 and headed in.
75 Stripers landed, lots of missed bites, some that just came unbuttoned.
Try the drift, it will change the way you fish forever.
