Storminess Lights It Up Once Again

The bucktail jig fished off a float
was the hot lure yesterday. 

The best pattern for me all summer was to hit the shore in rough and stormy conditions.  Those days would produce some resident fish. Yesterday was no different except for one exception. I found good numbers of fish for the first time this summer.

It was really rough yesterday due to the tropical storm.  The wind was strong and there was white water everywhere.  There was also life, and lots of it.  Birds were diving and fish were breaking for bait in the location I fished. First time I have seen that all summer. And, the stripers were aggressively taking my bucktail jig that was fished off a wooden egg float.

I ended the evening with good numbers of 24 to 28 inch stripers, typical of what has been around. Maybe there was a slot two in the mix.

Hopefully, this rough water and cooler temperatures will get an early fall run started. We'll see in the coming days.

There were good numbers of 24 to 28 inch stripers around
yesterday in the spot I fished. For the first time in a long
time I saw birds diving and fish breaking.
