Holiday Weekend Outlook- Big Bass Big Blues and Schoolies

Jon has been on a big fish roll all week from the
kayak.  Look for big fish to be near schools
of menhaden.

Fishing has really turned in a positive direction in the last few days.  Its been a fantastic week for the Pickering Team with big stripers, big blues and loads of schoolies.

I fished the last five days.  I went twice in the kayak and three times from shore.  In the kayak I landed over 30 big blues that went 5 to 12 lbs. They were all caught on Rebel Jumpin Minnows.  It was loaded in the low water location I fished in the Bay.  From shore I also fished the Bay, and in three evenings, I landed over 30 schoolies on Zoom flukes fished off a jighead. The current bluefish action is historic for May and something we have not seen in decades.  There's lots of them and they are big. Schoolies are around in good numbers but you have to look to find them.

My son Jon fished the last five days in the kayak. He landed over 30 stripers.  Of those thirty, he had a

kayakers.

whopping 20 fish between 28 and 42 inches. So, there are good numbers of big ones around if you can find them.  Many of the larger stripers are around schools of menhaden that have moved into the Bay in good numbers.  Jon got most of his fish plugging with a large wooden spook-like plug.

My son Ben fished one day at an old college hotspot along the oceanfront.  He landed a couple of decent sized sized schoolies on a topwater plug.  So, yes there are bass to be had along the oceanfront but you might have to play the tides, wind and surf conditions to find them.

Take your choice. Lots of option this holiday weekend along the RI shoreline.
