Fish on was a common event today
as over a hundred fish were
landed by a half dozen fishermen. |
It was very good fishing from the shore again today in a charged up surf. In fact, yesterday and today were the best two days in a row I have fished this fall.

Either a Cocahoe or
bucktail jig fished off a
float were the hot lures. |
I picked a location where the wind was blasting in my face and good size waves were rolling in forming a sea of white. It is just the conditions that stripers love. Mix that with a lot of small bait (bay anchovies) and you have the recipe for a great fall day of fishing. The fish, all schoolies, were around in big numbers. I fished with about half a dozen other guys this afternoon/evening and I would estimate there were over a hundred fish landed and released. The hot lure combination was a float and some type of jig, either a bucktail or a Cocahoe on a jighead. I caught most of my fish on the bucktail (3/8 oz. flathead with curly tail) fished off the float. I also saw a sharpie nailing a good number of fish on a tin lure.
With the northeast wind and rough water predicted for this weekend, it looks like the fishing should remain good. Find some clean and rough water with bait and you should have decent action. Schoolies and occasional small keepers are around in big numbers.
