A Move to the South Shore and Back on Track
It's November and my time to abandon Narragansett and head for greener pastures along the south shore beaches. I did just that yesterday and it put me back into fish. Yesterday I hit a number of high percentage spots and came away with 9 stripers and 2 hickory shad. Most of the stripers were schoolies but I had one keeper of about 32 inches (see pic, right) on a big bucktail jig. Yes, I practice what I preach....see previous posts. Most of the schoolies (see pic, left) that I caught were taken on a Cocahoe off a float (4 fish) and teasers (4 fish). In addition, I had two other "big" fish on that I lost. November usually signals that time for me to start seriously fishing the south shore oceanfront, and it paid off yesterday. We're back in business.
