| The egg float and a three inch NLBN paddle tail was the hot ticket tonight. This is a great combo when fussy stripers are on small peanut bunker. |
I hit good numbers of fish again tonight in the northeast blow and rough water. But, tonight's action came with a different twist. I started off casting the egg float and the bucktail jig. It brought little success. So, I reached into my bag of tricks and pulled out an egg float with a three inch NLBN paddle tail. I had great success on this last year when fussy stripers were on peanut bunker. That little paddle tail is a dead ringer for small peanuts. Well, first cast brought a hit and a striper. And, that was my ticket for the rest of the evening. I landed good numbers of hefty schoolies along with one slot fish. They were all caught in the white water just like last evening.
Fishing for stripers can be hot right now IF you can find the bait and IF you can find fishable water. With the ocean calming down in the next couple of days it should open up more safe places to fish along the oceanfront.
