I launched into Eastern Bay just before sunrise. I hadn't been fishing from my kayak in almost two months due to torn rotator cuffs and family stuff. The air temps were cool, the sky was overcast and it felt like a great day to be fishing.
I had a good morning...not great, but good. I got 7 stripers in the boat. All were caught on paddletails (5 trolling, 2 casting) and a moving tide. When the tide was slack, the bite died and I was happy enough to head home. I stayed in a small area yesterday that I have known to be productive in the past. There would have been days where I would have "left fish to find fish" but I didn't want to temp fate by paddling a good distance to my favorite spot at this location.
It was great to be back on the water and I am considering leaving the yak on top of my car for the week in the hopes that I will be able to leave work early one afternoon and get a few hours of fishing in...
