Report:
On our way to go sharking on Sat we stopped at the ledge to pick up some live blues for bait. Put down 1 tube umbrella and a 9'er. After 5 minutes, we landed a 32# striper. Real fat and feisty. I told the charter that we would have to release the striper if we went offshore sharking and they decided to stay and catch stripers, instead. We caught 8 more stripers and kept 3 besides the 32 pounder. 2 @ 24# and 1 at 18#. Everybody had a great day and plenty of filets. All caught on New England Black Back 6 inch 9'ers trolled with downriggers down 40 feet. Also 1 big blue. I saved my chum for another day, Captain Jim
