| I've got my hand in the jaw of a slot striper that took my Jumpin' Minnow fished from the kayak. Kayak fishing for stripers has been red hot for me this week. |
The last three days have been super good for me from the kayak. I got into an area that was loaded with good size peanut bunker (4 to 5 inches). and the stripers found them. I've seen daily blitzes of fish busting under a noon day sun going nuts for the bait. While the stripers have been mostly hefty schoolies in the 20 to 26 inch range, I did manage to also catch a good number of slots from 28 to 30 inches. There have also been some gator blues in the mix.
The hottest plug for me this week has been a Rebel Jumpin' Minnow in a bone color. This is a dead ringer for large peanut bunker, and it works super well when the bass are feeding on top in shallow water.
I suspect my hot fishing will come to an end with a big northeast blow and stormy weather on the way. Almost for sure it will move the fish out. But, I have a good idea on where I will find the fish next as I plan to leave the kayak home and pack the waders and surf rods.
