Shore Fishing Cools in this Heat

I landed this hefty schoolie last evening on an 
Albie Snax. There are still fish around though
not the numbers and sizes we saw several weeks
ago.

The shore fishing is cooling.  I believe the water is heating up quickly, and the stripers are moving to deeper water at the mouth of the Bay where they will reside for the summer.  In addition, there are few if any schools of pogies in the Bay so there's little bait to hold them there.  The oceanfront offers squid and sandeels right now, though we are not seeing much of that close to shore.

Still, there are fish to be had.  In the last three outings I have landed exactly 6 stripers.  Five of those were schoolies (yes, they do exist!) and one was a slot fish.  I am getting them on skinny plastic and a float and bucktail jig.  The float and jig are good choices in rough water and when sandeels are around. The skinny plastic is best suited to calmer water where a finesse type of approach works better.

I've had most of my action in the evening just before dark.  Some of my friends are also catching after dark though not with the same action as a few weeks ago. Daytime fishing is poor right now.

Hey, it's summer and we usually do expect a slowdown in the doldrums of summer. But, the main takeaway is that there are still some fish around.
