Once again, the float and jig combo is hot for stripers and bluefish and scoring in shallow, rough water along the RI shoreline. This lure combination is ideal to use in shallow, rocky water such as you find in RI places like Pt. Judith, Matunuck, Green Hill Pt. and Watch Hill. It 
also works along shallow beaches.
also works along shallow beaches.The rig is simple. It consists of a wooden float. Mine is homemade for a wooden egg and wired through. To the end of this is attached 2-3 ft. of heavy mono. Onto the end, tie a small jig (under 1/2 oz.). The jig can be a bucktail, jighead with plastic, or Storm lure. If you bang a nail into your float and clip off its head, that nail will serve as a jig holder on the cast and will get you fantastic distance. The whole thing is cast into white, turbulent water and simply reeled in slowly. It is deadly when stripers and blues are feeding on small bait.
