Something different

[shortstack]

I lived in Sandwitch for 3 years in the 90s, The fishing was epic, Casting Sand eels at night for Stripers, Awsome!!! The Stripers out there get to 60+ lbs, 10 times the fight of a WSB! I cant wait to go back some day and fish with my yak. Some of the fresh water lakes are good fishing to, Chain Pickeral, The most agresive fish I have ever caught. Not to mention they stock most of the on Cape ponds and lakes with trout. If I was going to pick any other place to live other than SoCal, it would be Cape Cod Mass.

Yeah Josh! Looks like a rad trip. Fishing for stripers and blues is pretty damn fun, but to be able to do that in a yak with your boy, man that is epic. Nice pics, great report.

Wow...what a trip. I got excited about it just reading and seeing your photos. I guess it reminds me of my own fishing trips in years past that was just pure joy. Hoping to introduce my 3yr old to an adventure like that one of these days. So far, it has only been to the pier.

Thanks for sharing.

Great report Josh! Great pictures too. There's a deep self-satisfaction that occurs in our minds as "hunters" when our offspring learn and are successful at the art of "fishing". Good job Josh!

Nice...
I grew up fishing for bluefish off the beach, on the jetties, sandy hook n.j etc.

Those teeth would easily bite through any mono. We would make wire leaders and chunk for them offshore.

They are like a yellowtail but with strong teeth. Kind of like a piranha.

Here is a pic of a small one.

Yes indeed, the Atlantic is more like the Caribbean, wire leader where ever you go. Very nice post Josh & also nice hearing from you.

are the east coast version of a baracuda. I remember growing up in LBI we used to follow the birds and get into HUGE schools of them ....blood all over the deck of the boat. Don't wear sandals on a trip like that!

I wouldn't consider it the east coast baracuda.... I've fished in North Carolina and in eastern and south eastern Florida and belive me we have some big Cudas there!.... I would say more like the east coast Phirana!

You don't wan't to be in the water when these things are schooling either... We had a Surfer on Onslow beach ( Beach on Camp Lejeune) that lost a toe when he didn't realize he was in the middle of school!
