5.19.19 Schoolies on Rips


Spent the morning out with friend, Captain Mike Platt from light bite charters , fishing for schoolies.  We checked mid sound and found some bunker schools milling around, unmolested. Then we hit up boulder fields and rip lines along the shoreline and were rewarded with a few schoolies, 1 on top water, which is great for this time of year with water temps in the high 50s.  Hope things start to heat up, both literally (water temp) and figuratively with the larger fish hopefully moving in from our south.  There are reports of bigger fish being caught near the islands on chunks and trolling, however I believe the largest biomass of large striped bass is about 10-20 miles west.
