Going Pro in OC

Going to Ocean City with just the guys can mean only one thing: non stop hardcore fishing. At the end we had fished 14 hours in one day, hitting each tide as it came and went. Truly, if we hadn't fished so hard we might not have caught much at all. It was persistence and more advanced techniques that paid off. We started at 5 AM by the Rt. 50 but without much luck we moved to the inlet's south jetty. We spent much of the day and evening there as flounder were hard to come by (2 shorts) with seaweed everywhere we tried to drift.  The evening at sunset is when it really turned on. We ended the day with 20 Striped Bass and a nice sized keeper blue.  The Stripers were mostly over 18 inches with many over 20 up to Seth's 27 incher, one inch short of a keeper in Ocean City. Most were caught on white bucktails with curly tails. A few were caught on a fly and eel rig with one also came aboard from a rattletrap. Here's some of the action from the new Go Pro camera.
