Striper Report Rudee Inlet

[jetskibrian]

I towed my jet ski to Owls Creek boat ramp in Rudee Inlet at Virginia Beach Virginia. It was 30 degrees when I departed the inlet at 1130 hrs. I ran around for a while and finally saw some marks on the finder about 2 1/2 miles off of the Ramada.
Two hours of trolling later I had two 32 inch Stripers, both were caught on a red and white stretch 30. Back at the Ramp around 1445hrs. Had a good time trying to clean everything up as it was freezing.
I was very comfortable with a dry suit and survival suit on and seas at only 2-3 feet. I only saw two other boats out. Here are some pictures from today;

Nice pics. Those birds in pic #5 are on my most wanted list. They laid siege to my boat (at Rudee) and turned it into a toxic waste site of bird ****. I'm bringing a gun next time I go down there!

Great job Brian ! Those fish sure look yummy ! Do you think trolling is the way to go now late in the season ?

Thanks, I have not heard of much eelin with this cold weather, on the troll seems to work.

tie yellow caution tape to your rails and t top if you have one.we do this in costa rica.for some reason the birds don't care for yellow.works great for keeping the toxic dump off your boat.

It's a little rough but the fishing is off the hook, right out front today, just like yesterday.

Good luck !
