Even frigid weather didn’t stop Virginia stripers

The weather was still brutal yesterday at Cape Charles, Virginia, but big striped bass seemed to be comfortable underwater, even if it took some time before they turned on.

Capt. Clinton Lessard reported from his SHO-NUF as follows:

You don’t know unless you go!!!!! Blustery and frigid but it didn’t stop Art, Carol, Jimmy, and Kenny from taking a shot at it! Not a bite until 2:05, but after that it was NUTS. We went 6 for 8 for the remainder of the afternoon. Biggest today was 49 pounds, but all 6 were over 40 pounds. Back at it Monday. Here are todays pics.

The NY/NJ Bight forecast is for northwest winds at 10-15 knots before increasing to north 15-20 in the afternoon.

Famed N.J. angler Kil Song will go anywhere and do anything for good fishing. He was in Florida yesterday and didn’t like the conditions. So, he drove his car to Texas to catch this bull redfish while casting from a jetty!
