After carp
fishing all day and then eating supper, I went striper fishing. I met Dave in
the Upper Bay. He got there before me and was on his back from scouting a
number of spots. He had only caught one fish, but it was a keeper. We fished
for a few minutes and decided the tide was low enough to fish a great low tide
spot. We put on waders and walked into the water up to our thighs.
Within a few
minutes both of us had landed a near keeper. I got mine on a bucktail jig and
Dave on a Zoom fluke. After that we each caught a few more fish. They seemed to
not be keying on any one lure. We had hits on the bucktail, zoom fluke, small
swimmer, sand eel imitation and a Hogy.
The biggest
news of the night was not how many we caught but how many fish were around. I had
a bunch of misses and Dave had a few hits. We saw many fish swirling and
splashing on the surface. We also saw school after school of menhaden. Although
our biggest fish were just under keepers, we saw some fish that seemed much
bigger. After a slow start things seem to be getting really hot in Narragansett
Bay.
