I was a night of abundant schoolie along the oceanfront. The hot lure was the Cocahoe. |
For me, the Bay has been the hotspot for striper fishing this spring, though I have caught on and off along the oceanfront this spring. Because of the inconsistency along the oceanfront, I haven't fished much at the oceanfront. Because the tides were not favorable in the spots I like to fish in the Bay, I decided to try the oceanfront tonight. I had my best night of the year numbers-wise. I landed very good numbers of fish while fishing some rough, white water with a wind in my face. Perfect conditions. My best lure tonight was a 4-inch Cocahoe mounted onto a 3/4 ounce jighead. All of tonight's fish were schoolies, far smaller than the abundant slots I have been catching in the Bay. Still, many of tonight's stripers were hefty schoolies around 24 inches. Nothing wrong with that.
In addition to the hot fishing, I was treated to one of the best rainbows I have ever seen over the water. A real bonus. Check it out below!
