Kayak Fishing for Bass and Blues and Housatonic Pike from Shore | S2 E04

On The Water’s John Burke paddles into the waters near Stonington, Connecticut, with Jerry Sparks of Northeast Kayak and Boat Charters in search of striped bass and bluefish. An abundance of juvenile menhaden have the fish on the feed, and as aggressive bass and blues attack their plugs, the two anglers enjoy a few “Nantucket sleigh-rides.”

Then it’s off to the Housatonic River, where angler Jeremy Brown and OTW’s Jay Baver will seek out big pike with both feet on dry land. Fishing live fallfish under a float proves to be the key to hooking the “water-wolf of the north.”
