Went out for some tautog and was able to hook up to what looked like a slot sized striper. Unfortunately, the striper got pulled beneath the rocks, and by the time I got hold of the leader, it was too late. It sucks knowing this striper is unlikely to survive with a massive lure attached to it's lip. A big mistake, but one I aim to learn from for the next time I'm in a similar situation.
Few shout outs:
- To the fellow angler that helped me with my rod while I was bringing in the striper
- To Tackle World for helping me pick a new blackfish rod
- To Tony's Bait and Tackle in Manahawkin for the green crabs
Fishing at the jetty can be dangerous. Please learn about the equipment needed and all of the dangers involved before making a trip to any jetty.
Thank you for watching!
