Mr. Steele, me, and four other club member met Capt. Jeff and First Mate Russell at Shymansky's marina in Cobb Island at 6 00 a.m. We bordered his 35 ft boat and took off for an hour ride to the spot we would be trolling at that was about 10 miles from the bay.

Mr Steele and First Mate Russell.

The hour ride.

Then we set up for trolling. We had 19 rods out and we were using planar boards. We were covering depths down to about 40 ft. We would look at the fish finder to find the bait fish, so we could find the fish. After about two hours of trolling Russell yelled FISH ON! and I stepped up to the plate. After about 10min of fighting I landed a 40", 22lb Striper. I received a Maryland citation for this.

Then we circled around to the same spot and after a half hour, Russell yelled FISH ON! and Brandon stepped up and fought again for about 10 minutes and he landed a 31" 11lb Striper.

The Fight!

The Fish!

We then trolled for about 5 more hours without nothing. We then brought in all of the lines, and headed back to the Marina.

We then arrived at the Marina after a hour and a half ride and showed off our fish, got lots of oooo's and aaaah's

then Capt Jeff filleted them for us.

There was a tournament at the marina that day and we were told we would have won if we were in it. Both of our fish individually were bigger than everyone elses and we had more fish than almost everybody. Overall it was a great day and we all had lots of fun. We are already talking about going back in the Spring a couple times.

Outstanding!

I am glad you guys had a great time. Jeff and Russell are top notch guys....they don't get better thatn that. ...I wish I could have joined you.

Let me know when you want to set up the trips and I will get with Jeff. Is there any interest for the Friday or Saturday after Thanksgiving?

We were thinking about in the Spring. Striper season start on April 15th I think he said, so were thinking about maybe getting a trip on the 18th or 25th and then another in May. He said the Striper fishing is really good in the spring.

hard to beat a day on the boat with Capt. Jeff

I got my first big rockfish with him, ernie was with us that day too.

redskinsfan360 · Nov-10-08 10:24AM

He was great and so was Russell. They got me my first rockfish and it tasted good!

AndrewDo124 · Nov-10-08 11:20AM

NICE FISH!!! I'm super jealous, I have yet to catch a striper in my life. First post from Charlie that hasn't given me a sore neck after looking at the pictures O_o

redskinsfan360 · Nov-11-08 10:33AM

ya russel and capt. jeff were really good guys and im looking forward to go back out with them. the striper was sooo good it really tasted just like chicken!

Ernie · Nov-11-08 12:30PM

Chicken???? Don't ever let Capt. Jeff hear that!!

redskinsfan360 · Nov-11-08 12:49PM

It did...ask Brandon. But why shouldn't we tell him that?

redskinsfan360 · Nov-11-08 1:43PM

Funny...nope..she hates fish..I cooked and made her have a taste the size of a quarter and it was practically torture to her.

redskinsfan360 · Nov-12-08 5:22AM

Well no matter what it is supposed to taste like...It still tastes real good!!!

Ya. It is in my truck to give it to you when I see you att the lakes, but the only problem is I have not had much time to get to the lakes.

Ernie · Nov-12-08 9:29AM

By the way, the chicken we get around here really doesn't taste like chicken. I remember, as a little boy in Cuba, watching the chicken get caught, neck twisted, dressed out, cooked and eaten.....that night! THAT....was chicken!

L1Ranger · Nov-12-08 10:40AM

rockfish tastes like rockfish
chicken taste like frozen chicken, and fresh chicken is fresh chicken, like ernie said

people say lots of stuff tastes like chicken, but I disagree

Ernie · Nov-12-08 11:20AM

Charlie - You are catching a lot of heat about rockfish tasting like chicken. Josh said it well in the post above. Perhaps you overcooked the rockfish?

Anyway, we are all glad you had a great day with Capt. Jeff (we knew you would) and also that you have experienced some of that "convict" fish, as Capt. Mike likes to refer it to.

redskinsfan360 · Nov-12-08 1:28PM

I didn't overcook it.....my mom said I didn't...she said it tasted like fish.....but it tasted good and that is all that matters!!!

CozUF2001 · Nov-12-08 2:42PM

BTW - Great hat Charlie. Tell Brandon that he is wearing the wrong orange!

tenncowboy78 · Nov-13-08 8:32AM

No way Tennessee all the way. Next year were going to kick butt all the way!!!!
