Striper Nov 18th

Scott and I went out at about noon. Stopped just outside of 1GW and just south. Saw a bunch of birds working but not a birdnado. Putting out the first set we caught one before the 3rd rod was out. Had a very consistent catch of 18-19 in. After about 20 min we caught a 22 in on “money” or white bucktail tandem. Maybe an hour we caught a 32 on the gold stretch.
