Good but not Great; First Overslot Landed!

 | By Seamus on 5/3/2025 3:48:00 PM | Views (1)

I landed this hefty overslot last 
evening in the Bay.

Here's the scoop on the latest striper fishing.  It's been good but not great. The fish are now spread out along the oceanfront and throughout the Bay.  There are good numbers of all sizes.  Schoolies seem to dominate along the oceanfront while the Bay has some hefty slots and even over slots.  I landed my first over slot of the year yesterday evening in the Bay.  I suspect that slug of large fish that are in the Bay have followed schools of adult menhaden that I have seen in different parts of the Bay. I've seen no bait along the oceanfront.

Thus far these have been my best lures.  For schoolies along the oceanfront the NLBN in a three inch , white model has been hard to beat.  But, other paddle tails like a Cocahoe and Al Gag's have also worked. In the bay, topwater plugs rule.  My best producer there has been a Yo- Zuri Hydro Pencil in a bone color. Other topwater plugs that have scored have been standard poppers and Doc lures. White or bone color have been the best.

I have to say that we had better and more consistent fishing last year.  While this year has been super at times, it has mostly been an on and off deal though I have only had one blank in the last two weeks. I think the weather has added to the inconsistency.
