It was a productive day yesterday in the kayak in Gansett Bay. |
I decided to forgo the madness along the oceanfront yesterday and heading to a quiet spot in the Bay in my kayak. In the last month the Bay has offered steady fishing for stripers because of the vast amounts of bait (mostly peanut bunker) that has settled in there.
Yesterday was a typical outing. After peddling around a lot, I eventually found good numbers of stripers busting on small bait. They jumped all over my weightless Finesse Fish as they often do. These were all aggressive and hefty schoolies that had been well fed. I ended up catching good numbers.
The many nooks and crannies of the Bay offers a good alternative to the oceanfront and tends to hold lots of stripers if you can find them. In the right weather, a kayak is a perfect craft to take a stealthy approach which works the best in places like this.
