Striped bass fishing with deep sea jigging and heavy tackle technique

The boat rocks gently. Waves lap against the hull. Fishing rods stand ready. The captain scans the horizon. A shout breaks the silence. Fish on. The line goes taut. The reel sings. A flash of silver breaks the surface. The fight is on. Muscles strain. The rod bends. Slowly the fish tires. It comes alongside. A net dips. Success. A striped bass flops on deck. Cameras click. Grins all around. Another day on the Atlantic. Another memory made.
