Stripers' Preferences Can Change Depending on Bait and Location

The Yo-Zuri Hydro Pencil has been
a hot producer in the last two evenings.

In the beginning of the week jigs ruled the places I was fishing. Big bucktail jigs, small bucks off a float, and NLBN paddle tails all were red hot. But, that place where jigs ruled suddenly went dry for me so I moved to a new location. I found fish and lots of them in my new spot, but they would not look at a jig. In my new hotspot, it was anything on top that did the trick. I caught a bunch of fish on Rebel Jumpin Minnows and Yo-Zuri Hydro Pencils.  I suspect the bait had a lot to do with the fish's preferences.  I'm guessing they were after mullet in my topwater spot since those two plugs I was using were great choices when mullet are around.  The float and jig works super when slim profiled bait such as bay anchovies and silversides are around.

Fishing for me continues to be red hot in both the daytime and at night. In the last five days, I've landed almost 100 stripers with a good percentage of those being keepers, although the majority of the fish are 24 to 28 inches. It's been the best week of the year.

I'm hoping this nasty weather with the big northeast wind continues. That's been the mover in all this and so long as it continues to blow the fishing will be hot somewhere along the RI coastline.
