Hooking Up Anglers Since 2011.
The usual big plugs were not going to work here so I had to go small. I started off with a quarter ounce flathead jig along with a curly tail. They were hitting that quite well, but the tails kept pulling down after a few fish. I then went with something more durable....a small, three inch Cocahoe mounted onto a quarter ounce jighead. That worked fairly well, and I stuck with that set-up for the rest of the evening. I might have even tried my float and fly since that set-up has been deadly in the past under these circumstances. But, I had none in my bag since I usually fish this in late summer and early fall. You can bet I'll have some in the bag tonight.
The fish last evening were a mix of hefty schoolies (22 to 27 inches) and slot fish into the low thirty inch range. There were a lot of them and it was non-stop action for three straight hours. Make no mistake about it....this is turning out to be a HUGE year for stripers here in RI and whether you fish from a boat or from shore. On average, the stripers are also good size with big numbers of hefty schoolies, slots and even over slots around. I can almost guarantee our hot RI striper fishing will continue right into the fall.
