Striped Bass fishing was excellent during May and June. In the past, I primarily used swimming plugs for bass. I am now a believer in the soft baits such as the Sluggo.
Light tackle casting around the islands with the soft baits was exciting and fantastic.
Fly casting with 8 and 9 weight fly rods has been more and more popular with my clients. Sight casting for these linesiders is the ultimate way to catch this popular gamefish. May and June were excellent months for Striped Bass. The numbers of bass were again plentiful while the cold water was in place. As soon as the temperature of the water went up into the mid sixty degree water, the bass were more elusive.
