Modern plastic tubs with screw-on lids make excellent storage containers, particularly the ones with square sides.

Release most of them, but these babies were cubed, soaked in sugar water, and broiled with salt, butter and paprika. Dipped in butter, DELICIOUS!!!

After a very stubborn battle on a light spinning outfit, I finally tailed this monster and swung him aboard for a quick photo.

Up in the middle Chesapeake bay, catching stripers and weakfish, when a fish hits and runs a LONG way. Must be a big red drum, right? Wrong!

A second photo of an incredible striper beach blitz.

Ever see thousands of 15-30 lb stripers pin a bunch of bait up against the beach? If not, this is what it looks like. Unfortunately, the picture does not show how BIG the fish and the splashes are.

Live eels can nab the fish, too

Home made rod, (Loomis MU785) home poured lead jigs, home made soft plastic lures.

The Reward at the end of a beautiful day.

Hooked up at sunset

Four friends all hooked up at the same time. Good fishing!

Spiral wrap following the lay of the line. Very pleased with the performance of this layout. Starting the first guide at 45 degrees works very well.

Wanna know where I fish, huh?

Guest on my boat with his biggest striper ever. 47.5" long, caught and released with one of my custom Loomis Mag Bass rods and my home-made lures.

45#, 48" striper next to a 21#, 36# striper caught and released at the same time. Big difference! Caught and released on Loomis Mag Bass I built.
