Hello All,
I was out there during the gusty Northeastern and it was a hoot! Shagwong Pt. was the place to be for the big ones. The front (Scotts and Bluff) was also hosting a few cows under the white wash!
Now? let me explain what ?rain bait? is?. It?s a large pod (schools) of juvenile baitfish (spearing, anchovies, and peanut bunker)! Yes, it has a light reddish hue which means they are in stress (chased down by predators)!
This is the season where a large body of migration fish (little tunnies, blues and bass) gorges themselves with rainbait as they fatten up during the nursery ground migration!
If you are going to fish it? stick to white bucktail (tipped with pork rind) during daylight and yellow bucktail during low light! Also, there are times where distance counts?. And that?s when a tin like (charlie graves, kastmasters, hooligans, hopkin and diamond jigs) has the edge.
These blitzes are absolutely wild and that is one of the reasons why sharpies visit the great MECCA this time of the year!
Hope this helps!
?Crazy? Alberto
