I went fishing May 5, 2017 for my first surfcasting trip of the season. I was using swim shads and found a nice school of stripers feeding pretty close to the surf. Mostly all diaper stripers but did get a couple the were 25". The season should only get better as the bigger girls start to move in. Gear Used: Rod - 10'6" Tsunami Airwave Elite Surf Rod Reel - 5000 Shimano Spheros SW Lure - Storm Swim Shad Line - 30lb Kastking Fortis Braid Leader - 40lb Kastking Mono Leader Camera Used: Excelvan Q8 Action Camera
