Fall Striper 2003
Summer 2003, fall 2002, e-mail photos, 1999, Spring 2000


I caught this 38" fish at Meadow Cut with Joe and Carmine the Farm Market Moguls, It weighed 21 pounds on the scale


This is Carmines first striper since the 60's It came out of Reeds Bay and gave a great fight.


Joe got his eel eaten  by this one behind Little Beach
 


This was the first fish on 10/30 A little Beach beauty

 


Absecon's Officer Bob Gives us a lesson in how to catch a striper.  Here he hooks up and the fight is on the way.


It is good to have a good man with the net on board.  This is a good job for anyone who just can't catch a fish.


Next get your well equipt non-fisherman to unhook it for you


Next show off your catch before catching another, and another, and another.

The chef picked up this fish Friday night, I hope it didn't end up on the menu.  He did have it packed with ice in a smoked salmon coffin.


Nick's Dad picked a windy day to take him out on the Goose Buster to fish for his first striper.   Finally this fighter ate a clam when we anchored up to get out of the wind.


Here's the whole crew and fish number two.  10/26/03
