First Fishing day of Striper Season Nov 11th

Went out with Scott and Alyssa at about 11:30, finished teaching Sunday School and met them on the my boat. Set out for the Potomac because we had been talking with Shoddy Dog. He caught limit and one of them was 32″. I’m pretty sure he caught all of them on a black and gold stretch. We caught a bunch but they were all under limit size. I guess it was an early morning bite. On the way back we hit a “birdando” at about Green 63. Couldn’t stay long but had a great time.
