for anyone wondering and to those that don't follow on instagram this was their latest post

Curious to know if perch go a lot farther back into deeper water or they just feed where the closest available troughs are. I guess this also applies for striped bass as well but I'm aware that they're movement patterns are far less understood. Any thoughts / articles would be appreciated.

It has been insanely windy for the past 2-3 weeks now up in bay area coastline. Ever since I got a job I haven't been able to go out early mornings anymore so I've been trying at sunset or night but even then with 10mph+ winds its been very unfishable.

I wanted to know more about striped bass migration patterns and randomly saw this journal. Was very informative but was also dry (I don't mind), thought others would find this interesting as well. link

I've been using powerpro slick v2 which is pretty strong and just as thin as J-braid. I use my shimano vanford with it so the line lay is pretty amazing. Still use a leader of mono though, not a topshot of it, only because when throwing calissa's or lighter jerkbaits it seems like the stretch...

persistence pays off!! nice fish still have yet to catch my first hali from shore, but this gives me hope :P What oz jighead were you using?

ah damn i just got my pb today and im gonna post but it was a 15 and preggo lol, nice one!

lol true. When my friends from the bay ask me if I want to go for striper I just assume they mean beach but obviously since im about 10 minutes from the ocean.

Caught my PB striper last week on an incoming high tide! The action was pretty insane, ran through a fat school and hooked up on 6 only keeping 1 which ended up being a 30" and 9.7lbs. The school was running so hot that I didn't really have time to take more than a couple pictures. The rest were...
