Getting Spontaneous Luck... Not as Good as Getting it Right!

I went striper/bluefish hunting with fellow salt addict Mark Steiner this evening. The conditions were just garbage, and for that spot the tide was completely wrong. And yet Mark somehow managed to get lucky and got his popper eaten by the only hungry fish around!

That was a nice fish to make up for the generally crummy conditions, but I would rather we had gotten it right and found a lot of actively feeding fish. That just makes things better all around.

  1. Nice catch Mark! A bad day of fishing is better than a good day doing something else. Wish you were getting some of the rain we are having, uuuugh!
    Tie, fish, write and photo on...

    1. Bad days of fishing are very rare and this was not one of them!

  2. That's a beauty. Must have been mighty fun on a fly rod. Well done, Sam

    1. I've said if before and I'll say it again: ANY fish is fun on a fly rod!
