I went out for a little while on my jet ski off of Virginia Beach and experienced all the weather conditions possible. Calm seas at first, then drizzle and steady rain. A wind shift with gust up to 25 knots. Then the sun came out nicely, all in about 2 hours.
I had no luck on the Striped Bass nor did I see or hear of one caught. I friend of mine on the blue Hydra Sports did have brief hook up with a Blue Fin Tuna that hit like a freight train and broke the line after a ten minute battle.
The phenom off of the Virginia coast continues, every direction I looked I could see some either close by or off in the distance. It has made all my trips even more exciting. If you do not have a boat then you should take one of the whale watching tours from the Virginia Aquarium or the Rudee Flipper. A ten minute ride and you are guaranteed to see what is a once in a life time memory for many.
Here are some pictures. The whale breaching was way off so it is fuzzy.
Striper Sandwich
Every Thursday my wife has some friends over, they paint and drink wine. We call it “Art Night”. I sometimes will make a snack for them from whatever I fish I caught recently. Tonight I made my first “Striper Sandwitch”. It was a big hit so I thought I would share how I made it.
First off you need to get on your jet ski and go catch a nice Striped Bass.
Fillet it up into 3/4 inch thick pieces.
Marinate ( I used a lemon peppercorn sauce) and bake fillets for 20 minutes at 450.
Then place fillets on bread of choice. I chose pumpernickel.
Slice up some tomato and onion.
Put onions, tomato and shredded mozzarella on the fillets and bread. Then place back in oven for two minutes.
Spread some Chipotle mayo on the other half of bread. Cover it up and dig in!
