Striped Bass fishing, Deep Sea Jigging at 270 Northern Ave

The boat gently rocks on the waves. Sunlight glints off the water. A fisherman casts his line. The rod bends suddenly. A flash of silver breaks the surface. The striped bass fights hard. It leaps and dives. The angler reels steadily. The fish tires. It comes alongside the boat. The net dips. Success. A beautiful catch. The striped bass measures 31 inches. Photos are taken. The fish is released. It swims away strongly. Another great day on the water.
