Jigging Stripers

Fished today with John, Greg, Kevin, and Sam in the ocean. We started off trolling and caught one early. The action was slow so we made a move. We found the birds and the fish feeding on top. We switched over to jigs and caught a bunch. It was not an easy bite and the fish were a bit finicky but we got them to chew. We caught between 20-25 stripers, one big bluefish, and a five pound fluke. It was flat calm and beautiful. Pro tip. Rod angle plays a part in fishing jigs. A high rod tip will swim a jig much higher in the water column than a low rod angle. The fish were on the surface and the high rod angle made the difference at times between bites and no bites.
