First One Landed!

It's the first one from the oceanfront
for me this year. Expect good
numbers of them in the coming week.

I landed my first striper of the year from the oceanfront today, a fish I would call a "scout".  In striper fishing lingo, a scout is one of the early arrivals that makes it's way ahead of the main body of fish.  I suspect this was a scout because it was the only one that I landed.  I'm guessing within a few days, we will begin to see greater numbers of them as schools of migrating stripers arrive.

The fish was about 20 to 21 inches.  It was caught on a white, 3 inch NLBN paddle tail.  I fished several locations along the oceanfront, but this was the only hit I had from late afternoon into the evening.

On the blog I had predicted the first fish would be caught on April 15 and that's just what happened. Last year I got my first one on the 15th also. Yes, they do follow a predictable pattern. 

Here's another prediction- I'll have my first keeper within the next 10 days!
