Have not fished weekend and all week and heard that the water has been flowing during the day. Since no work today, I decided to do a little morning session close to home. Went back to my most productive DD pattern of fishing open water. First spot nothing. Second spot nothing. Third spot I get hit soft and set the hook. Immediately it feels strong and larger variety. This is what I crave. A strong running, drag peeling, duct tumbling, twisting and turning DD striper. I am fighting and it does not want to come in. Comes up and I get a look at it and I confirm that it's a good one. Runs and runs and I am now moving with it to keep it in sight. Start to make some progress and does a tail splash on the surface a quarter of the way out and runs again. Drag peeling, arm pumping fun. It does not want to tire. I keep working it and finally gets in and is landed.
I really needed this as I have caught some on a couple of trips to Bako and those 20" skinny, anemic fish just don't compare. AV meaty fish are the cure for the disease, lol.
Conditions were windy with about 25mph and gusts to 30mph+. Cold, cold, cold. Could not tell if water was moving or not because I fished open sections not near any gates or siphons plus the wind was chopping up the water pretty good.
