We had a big east wind today at the oceanfront and that kicked up the waves in certain locations. Since the spring, every time I fished a rough surf, I've had good fishing. Today was no exception. I fished multiple spots and came away with real good numbers of stripers fishing in the white water pockets. They were all schoolies in the 20 to 24 inch range. All were caught on a float and jig.
In addition to the fish I caught, I saw birds working here, and there but no fish breaking. Still, a good sign. I'm guessing they were after micro bait that seems to be on the increase. I also heard about some bonito, Spanish Mackerel and even some albies that were caught in various places along the oceanfront today. Seems everything was active and on the prowl today.
This seems to be the start to fall fishing along the oceanfront. With Labor day in the rearview mirror, it's time for the fishing to move into fall mode.
