BIG STRIPED BASS FISHING - Working Through a Tough Day for Big Striper. This was not my day. No day ever my day. However, I do know I have the chance to make it my day. Every day. Not my day. I missed a beautiful striped bass on a topwater lure. Not my day. Walked up a bit. Dropped another striper by my feet. Not my day. Long stretch of nothing. Not my day. Saw some fish landed. I could not buy a bite for a nugget of gold. Not my day. Take a break and start casting before the dark. BIG STRIPER ON. BIG STRIPER ON THE SAND. This is my day. Landed another beautiful keeper striped bass and the sun was now setting. What a great day.
