First stripers

[zippyduck]

Caught my first stripers and a few other oddballs. I did catch a few bigger stripers but the bite was on so no pics of them.

Here is a pic of a few years ago.  Santee has a nice population of stripers.  This is a nice fish but not in the big striper category for Santee

I remember the first time I went, was 21 obviously. Great time... Spent way too much money $$$






Oh.... wait. striPers..... with one P. 



Totally different story. Caught my first one a few weeks ago.

Is that third one a lizard fish? And the last some type of Sargeant Major?

[zippyduck]

That striped one in the last pic looks like a small Sheepshead.

Zippy, congrats on your first Striper! 

There were some places in MD that I could catch those little Stripers all day long. Fun on an ultra light spin rod or a light weight fly rod. Usually would be some big White Perch mixed in with them too.

Nothing wrong with a nice mixed bag either. Those puffers, if you catch some with some decent size to them have a sweet chunk of meat right down either side of the back bone.
