    Striper Fishing in the Ct River, in Windsor Ct, fishing out of my W500 wave walk kayak. smile1
    Hit the River at 9:00am.

    First drift, at 9:39am, the first Schoolie was in the boat.

    The Bite wasn't as good as my first trip, but with
    2 stripers a 32" and one at 32 1/2" I'm one HappyFriggen Yaker. cha
    The best part of my day was having a striper hit the top water lure, sending in the air, then coming back and hitting it again
    with a tail slap, when I realized, it was 3 Stripers fighting over it.
    When Finally it Happened, I Had a Double on, and it was 2 Good size
    Keepers, they were rolling and fighting when one popped off.
    But the one I got in the boat was the 32 1/2" fatty.

    I ended up with 10 Stripers, ranging from 24" to the 32 1/2".

    I headed for the ramp at 12:30, I was pooped out, didn't think
    I could reel in another fish. smile1

    Plus, I was soooooooooo tired from standing and fishing all morning.
    That W500 is a work out machine, just as much as she is a
    FISHING MACHINE!!!!!!!
