Bass with Blues (or vice versa)
Hi all,
Went out on the boat yesterday. Seas were much rougher than I would have expected (got worse as I rounded Beavertail). We ran into a ton of bunker off Narragansett Beach just an hour or so before sunset. We had had cloud cover for about an hour but when the sun came out, the baitfish came up. Much fun!
Anyway, I thought would share a trick that I learned on my own (probably nothing you guys haven't already figured out). When the baitfish are breaking the surface, the bluefish will often dominate any fishing immediately around the baitfish. The stripers seem to "lag" the action. So I try to estimate where the baitfish were "5 minutes ago". I often catch bass on the lag. I suspect they stay behind to finish up left over crippled baitfish but that is only a guess.
