Here's an over slot that I landed from the kayak today. Find the menhaden and you are likely to find big stripers and/or big blues. |
Big Stripers, Big Blues. They are around in abundance right now if you do some looking. My son, Jon, and I have caught staggering numbers of them in the last couple of days. We landed over 20 stripers from slots to overslots with the biggest ones going in the 30 lb. + range. We also had 13 big blues that ranged from 7 to 12 lbs. They are taking both plugs and menhaden.
These big fish right now are roaming the Narragansett Bay in search of large menhaden. You find the menhaden and you are likely to find big fish around them no matter what time of the day you are fishing.
While we have gotten the majority of the fish from the kayaks, I also landed good numbers of big blues last evening from shore. The blues are roaming around so you might have to do some looking from shore to find them. It is much easier from a boat or kayak.
