Big Time Action in the Big Blows

 

It was hot fishing in the big blows of the last two
days. Sizes up to slots.

Wow, the wind has really been howling in the last two days. Yesterday I could barely stand with the wind in my face gusting over 50 miles per hour. Today it was a bit less but still howling. And, yes, I was fishing both days and catching up a storm.

I caught stripers both days but today was REALLY crazy.  I was into an all afternoon blitz of stripers on small bait (once again).  The fish were somewhat fussy so I went with my finesse stuff. I was catching with my wooden egg float and a 3 inch NLBN paddle tail coming off the float.  The fish today were mostly hefty schoolies with some slots in the mix. I landed a couple of dozen fish in the last two days, really good numbers. 

In my last post I predicted that October's great fishing would roll right into November and judging from today, it has. I think this hot fishing will just continue as the masses of small bait have not moved in a month and the stripers are heavily into their fall feeding.
