Big Stuff from the Kayak

 | By Seamus on 5/2/2026 8:48:40 PM | Views (3)

 I went out on my first voyage of 2026 in my kayak tonight, and it was just like I had been experiencing from shore all week. I landed good numbers of fish with slots, over slots and hefty schoolies in the mix. Like from shore, I had never landed fish this big from the kayak so early in May.

The hot lure tonight was a white Albie Snax.  It was a finesse game as the water was quite calm and the fish were quite fussy on the take. I had a Varivas fluoro leader tied to the end of my line and I used a slow "twitchy" retrieve below the surface with a "stop" once in a while. That worked great for me.  My son, Jon, was also out with me, and he had equal success with  7 1/2 inch white Slug-go.  The Slugs have been hot numbers for us in the past week.

Fishing for large stripers has carried right over into May. I'm hoping it continues as it is as good as it gets right now for this time of year.

Real hot fishing tonight for big fish from my kayak.
