As November winds down, I’ve had the good fortune to dine, fish or speak with many of the Louts recently. By far the most interesting day on the water for yours truly was last week when Glenn Kamp and I met up along the Jersey beaches to fish for stripers and blues. With strong westerlies, the fish were too far offshore for our tackle but we were amazed to see a whale feeding in the shallows merely 100 yards or closer at times to the beach! I wish I had a fancy camera with me instead of my point and shoot, but here is a photo from that day.
On Monday of this week, Louts Kamp (can you tell he’s recently retired???) and Axt met me down at Sandy Hook for another attempt. This time the wind was strong out of the SW and we did not see any bait nor bass. Leaving early to get some real work done, I was surprised to hear from Glenn later that night that things picked up considerably after Rick and I left. First were the hickory shad, fun but not what you came for, and later stripers. I guess it pays to stay until dark…
