Fishing Lure

 

It was one lone striper yesterday in the kayak in the Bay.  I found no schools of bait.

Two words describe the current fishing along the oceanfront- NOT CONSISTENT. I know a lot of this involves the whacky weather we have been experiencing lately.  Still, I've gone down one day and had a great day, and the next day with the same conditions will produce nothing or maybe one fish. Many of the fish are under the schools of bait, and the presence or lack of bait determines whether fishing will be good or not.  A lot of the stormy weather, high winds and extremely rough surf tends to also move the bait around and kill the fishing.

The same thing is happening in the Bay.  Two days ago my son, Jon, went out in his kayak and had a banner day.  I went yesterday in the same location, same time and got one lone striper that I got trolling. I found no bait while Jon ran into schools of peanut bunker. So, the lesson here is that if you are in a boat or a kayak, move around and make a real effort at finding some bait.
