When the striped bass just won't bite |

catch 'em... quite honestly, if I see bass crashing the surface, they are easy pickins.. I've never had a surface feeder not take my artificial..
I have had them finning on the surface and refuse conventional methods... for these times, I add a small dropper 18" in front of a surface swimmer, I've always used pork rind or a large slim streamer fly.. modern day fisherman favor soft plastics.. I say give 'em pork!.. this does two things, first it appeals to their competitive nature,they are feeding on small bait and "think" the other fish ( being the plug) is going to eat the baifish ( pork dropper) greed is a mighty thing and has been the undoing of many a man... and fish!
My 3rd 50+ lb striper came on a pork rind dropper in front of a yellow darter from Head of the meadow beach in '86... on a night when everyone was racking their rods in disgust because the bass were feeding on pin sized sand eels and those fisherman that October night were all armed with large surface swimmers because that is what was entrenched in their brains... think outside the box! - Roccus When they just won't take... |

Flounder fever has gripped the North Shore as well. A Nahant kayaker I know of, who like many of us lives to catch bass, has taken a striper sabbatical for a while to cash in on all the flounder he has been spotting below his craft by Bass Rocks, Saunders Ledge and off the Kerry Club. Generally, the water here is so clear you can see the flatfish lying around the ledges, sand and mussel beds. Harbor pollock on the North Shore, while still numerous, have slacked off when compared to the action a few weeks ago. When this happens, they seem to be more valued by stripers. I’ve found more pollock on the flooding tide than the ebb, and from shore they work well about 8-feet below an unweighted Styrofoam float, while boaters will do best slowly trolling them around areas such as the Shags, Tinkers Gut and Castle Rock... |
