We had the pleasure of welcoming back returning customer Mike and his family from Pennsylvania for a fantastic day of action on the Raritan Bay.
The morning started off strong when our mate, Rich, made quick work of the bait situation, loading the live well with fresh bunker in a single toss of the cast net. Once we were on the fish, the energy was high—especially for the girls, who each successfully landed their first-ever striped bass!
We found success both live-lining bunker and casting artificials, keeping the rods bending throughout the trip. The fish were hard-fighting and provided plenty of excitement for everyone on deck.
We made sure the family went home with a full cooler of fresh, iced fillets, ready for a great dinner.
It’s always a highlight to see families creating memories on the Hallie Loren. The spring run is in full swing, and the bite is consistent!
