Back to the Bay in the Kayak

 

The unweighted Zoom Fluke on a swimbait
hook was the only thing that would fool
the fussy stripers today!

This was not the best weekend along the oceanfront for me. The fish were hard to find and there were few of them. A change was needed.

So, on this beautiful and tranquil day I decided to head out in the kayak.  I found loads of fussy fish feeding on massive amounts of peanut bunker.  Still, I managed to fool a good number of them and ended up with a mix of slots and hefty schoolies.  I had to resort to a finesse game as I fished the unweighted Zoom fluke on a swimbait hook and twitched it along on the retrieve. Not a silver bullet but it got me some fish. That seemed to do it and no other plug or lure got so much as a look.
