Eric and Stripers Again

Similar foggy conditions like a month ago, but less wild action. Water is still murky from constant winds. We caught some fish, which is good.

Back to the Flats

Slightly Better

Good fishing with slightly better size fish today. This one actually took some line in the current. It took sea herring deceiver with a bunny collar, size 3/0. It could also pass as a tinker imitation. Windy and tough conditions, with some mud.

Striped Bass and Retrograph 6wt Fly Rod

New rod in action... Excellent numbers and feisty fighters, especially on the trout-size tackle.

After cold water fishing, nothing like strong Serbian plum brandy, home made kacamak (polenta), with Serbian feta cheese, ajvar, and Greek yogurt...delicious!

Old Rod Scores Again

Venerable "Pink Panther" 8'6" 8wt still in action, along with an old Bauer reel...More schoolies, hard fighting, great fishing!

Clean Water, Happy Fish

Eric and Stripers

I fished today with my old friend Eric. Foggy day with light breeze, and a nice mix of schoolies...

Schoolies Galore

Weak Tides, Bouncy Flies

Striped Bass on Graphite

Change of pace...Graphite fly rods are so nice, and every day is little different! Multiple fish, multiple locations... Nice schoolies, fighting hard in cold water. #vladanmilenkovicflyrods

Striped Bass on Glass

For the last few days, this has been going on... Conquistador fiberglass fly rod taper is fun on smaller fish. The action has been steady, and fish are little larger than last year. #vladanmilenkovicflyrods

We're On!

Stripers are finally around the house, bright silver and full of lice. The season is on, corona virus or not!

Easy Casting 7/0 Striper Slider/Diver

This is a quick tie...crease fly style! Foam head w/big eye, natural materials for the body/tail, and some poly fibers for the transitional halo. Saltwater flashabou single strand on each side (not visible on the pic.) A simple striper slayer...

This Year, So Far

So far, this year has been a year of 4wt to 7wt (yes, small) stripers, and also the year of the bonito. We'll have to wait for the fall to see the rest of it...
