Getting a little warmer now, it should be real nice in a few more weeks. As far as the stability in the kayak I have no idea I’ve never tried kayak fishing but lots of people do it around here.
This time of year bloodworms are the best natural bait for striped bass. As far as lures soft plastics get it done.
mostly what we call back bay fishing, the brackish rivers and estuaries are where the migratory stripers are headed to spawn.
