Striped Bass fishing in East Dennis MA, jigging and trolling techniques

The boat rocks gently as we cast our lines. Sunlight glints off the water. A cool breeze carries the scent of salt. Seagulls circle overhead. Suddenly my rod bends. The fish fights hard. I reel steadily. A flash of silver breaks the surface. It's a striped bass. We net it carefully. The sleek fish shimmers in the sunlight. Its dark stripes contrast against its silvery sides. We measure it quickly. Twenty-two inches. A perfect catch. We snap a photo before releasing it. The bass swims away strongly. Another great day on the water.
