Two Way Strategy Working

 | By Seamus on 6/7/2025 6:19:00 PM | Views (15)

 
I've been out in the kayak about a quarter
of the days this spring.  I'm fishing the Bay
from the yak on  calm days.

I've really taken a two way approach to striper fishing this spring.  In rough and windy weather I have been fishing from the shore both at the oceanfront and in the Bay.  When it has been calm, I've opted for the kayak, staying in the Bay.  It has worked with very few blanks and some decent fish.  The numbers have not been there, but I've landed a decent number larger fish-  slots and even over slots.

The hot lures for me so far has been as follows.  In the kayak, it has been an unweighted 5.75 inch Finesse Fish that has been the hot ticket. An Albie Snax is a close second.  I've caught no fish on hard plugs from the yak this spring.  From shore I've mixed it up.  The Yo-Zuri Hydro Pencil has been hot especially in rough water.  But, at times I've also gone with unweighted plastics such as the Finesse Fish, Slug-gos and Albie Snax. Wind conditions and how far I want to cast have dictated my choice. 

Shore fishing has also been good for larger fish.
About three quarter of the time I have fished the Bay
or along the oceanfront

I've spent about three quarters of my fishing days from shore this spring and about a quarter of the time in the kayak. That strategy has led to some consistent fishing with few blanks.
