I'd be careful---looks like there might be a T. Rex down there in that second picture...

My idea would be to find the edges of the ball and make sure the bait I drop down amidst it is differentiated from the rest, something that catches the eye of said predator...02 cents
Exactly! Blast your bait where you see those separate pink blotches. Those are probably Striper. Put bait in middle of bait then cruse it out from there and wiggle it like a mad man.... Good luck! hope there are hungry fish

I circled the bait, (best possible), and no takers with frozen anchovy, or herring. I noticed the probable stripers seemed to be attacking from the top, so I cranked a Rapala across the top, no good. Tried white/blk, pearl white and then chartreuse swim baits, nothing....

Makes sense to try and stand out. “Match the Hatch” probably gets lost in the background.

What’s your methodology when you happen upon a decent school of bait in the bay? Any “go to” approaches you’ve found to increase hook ups that you could share?

Thanks for the info. Sounds like a great class. How is launching, and parking there if you bring your own kayak?

I’d be down to try for salmon, or sole, but this weekend looks a little too gnarley out there for me. Hoping you go get um, and get back safe. Looking forward to a report
