Signs of Life

I've landed good numbers of stripers
in the last three days from schoolies
to slot size fish.  

Ever so slowly, the shore fishing is ticking upwards here in RI.  In the last three days I have caught more stripers than in the last three weeks. I've also seen turns working here and there on small bait (bay anchovies?, maybe peanut tiny peanut bunker?).  That has led to sporadic fish breaking close to shore.

I hit some good fishing on the windy and stormy evenings of the last three days catching good numbers of hefty schoolies and small slots.  Friday and last evening were carbon copies of one another.  Approaching storms brought strong winds, lots of white water and a surging sea right into the spot I was fishing. I believe that moved some stripers close to shore.  It's those kinds of conditions that will move fish that are residing in deeper water close to shore at this time of year.  Recently reports have been loaded with news of lots of fish in deeper water, and boaters are scoring much more consistently than shore fishermen right now.

High water temperatures have driven most of the stripers into the deeper and cooler water.  Bay water temperatures of upwards of 82 degrees were reported this week.  Yikes! The ocean water temperatures are hovering in the low to mid 70's. Hopefully, this will come down as the cooler weather settles in this week. I've also said many times that huge numbers of peanut bunker will be a game changer regardless of water temperatures.  That hasn't happened yet, but I believe it is coming soon. When it does, the shore fishing will explode.
