Killing It in the Nor'easter

The wooden egg float with a bucktail jig was the
hot combo this evening in the rough water.

I had a big day today in the howling wind, rain and high surf.  While the monster waves were breaking as far out as I could see, the stripers were, at times, right near my feet.  They were going nuts in the white water in close, blasting away at big schools of peanut bunker that were being driven right onto the shallows.  I even saw some peanuts wash up onto the sand where I was fishing. The birds were also going nuts picking the bait up from above while the stripers blasted them from below.  It was truly and all out blitz in the midst of this nor'easter.

Upon arriving at my location, I snapped on my wooden egg float along with my half ounce bucktail, a great combo top use when the stripers are on peanuts.  First cast into the melee I had a hefty schoolie.  And that pretty much set the tone for the rest of the evening.  It was a fish or a hit on just about every cast for over an hour before the bait and fish moved on.  All the fish today were hefty schoolies in the 22 to 26 inch range.

I would advise to proceed with caution if you get out and fish in the coming days.  It is VERY rough and dangerous with a big surge of water coming in. I was standing on dry shore today casting.  Most rocky drop offs are way to dangerous to fish right now.
