Took the first in a series of trips this summer to Assateague island. Fished with Charlotte for a few hours on Satuday and all day on Sunday. It was an amazing trip. Saw the usual wildlide like whitetails, sika deer, horses and dolphins but also saw a seal and a whale ( the whale sighting is still unconfirmed but I think it was a whale). Anyhow the hihglight of the trip was the amazing fishing. I bought a flat of fresh bunker to use as bait and it was a ton of fish.
We had three rods in the water at all times and put on frsh bait every half of an hour or so. Here is a pic of the first catch of the day.
We caught a bunch of these and I would have been excited if this was all we caught. But as I was realing in another rod to change the bait char yells "fish" and I look over to see my other rod bent in half, falling on the ground and being drug out to sea. I got over to the rod in time and pulled out this monster.
My first ever keeper striper-37 inches. A few hours later we got another one at 29 inches.
Awesome trip. Here a few more pics of random images from the trip.
This may be the weekend by which all future birthday weekends are measured, awesome!!

Great Job!!
Now you will never starve.
I hope we get to see photo's of you cooking the fish. yummmmmmmm
Sounds awesome! I remember a family trip to Assateague Island when I was a kid and obsessed with horses. It was pretty great.
Is that seal dead?
Nope, the seal was alive but rather sickly looking. We went back the next day and he was gone.
Holy crap - those fish are huge!
Ok Is it not time to maybe do something else other than fish you have been fishing since May 11.;)
