😁😁😁😁👍👍
You had me at the first yank. Finally, a man who could catch fish. Then, my heart sank....YOU LET IT GO...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!LOL
😂😂🤣🤣❤️❤️
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS I love catching strippers here in Arkansas! Such a fun fish. I was on a date one time and the guy released my catfish! Then he released my stripper! RIGHT THEN, I experinced PTSD!😲😨 He FINALLY caught a massive fish and decided he'd keep it.🤔 OH HELLLLLL to the NOOOOOOOO! I reminded him that it was CATCH & RELEASE DAY, NO FISH ALLOWED ON BOAT DAY, NO FISH TO EAT DAY and he released that beast.😂😂 Loved your video! TRY TO KEEP THE FISH PLEASE.😘😘😆
"Strippers"? I agree, some o' 'em smell like Fish... Although, I would much rather Fish for "Stripers"...(Less chance o' catchin' a Disease...)
What I enjoyed most about your video is seeing you handle the bass with care - very nice guys!
😊😊😁👍
I noticed that too. Respect for the fish goes a long way.
RanochVTX thanks brother! I agree!
Mike Smedley you do a decent video. First time I've come across you're clips and I'll be looking for more. I just wanted to say thanks for tutorials. Very informative and I like that you take time to coach these other guys commenting and asking questions and picking your mind for info...thanks again. Hope you have great fishin in the coming new year. Tight lines bruh!
Bill Walker Thanks Brother. I really appreciate that. Thanks for taking the time to post this. 👍👍👍😁

Shaun mcinnis THANKS BROTHER!!😁😁
Why are all the fish appear to be keepers 27” and up ? We were fishing bay of fundy and caught quite a few under sized fish and only one 30 “ between 6 guys in three boats . What is the secret to getting bigger fish . We were using 4oz weights and no. 6/0 hook . Squid heads , fresh mackerel, and fresh gasperough , or the locals call them kayaks.
Quite a few things come into play for Striped Bass size in saltwater. Stripers tend to swim in like sizes. Once you start catching numerous 20” fish you will most likely see only fish around that same size. We hear never leave fish to find fish, but I often do just that. In the US migratory fish are often much larger so that’s another thing to take into account. Are you catching smaller resident fish that aren’t feeling the urge to migrate and spawn? If so, a much larger fish will be rare in That case as well.
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS i believe the fish are resident fish heading to the river waters to spawn . This was my first time fishing strippers and i think i may be hooked . I was a big Atlantic salmon fly fisherman but as you probably know the returning salmon are becoming few and far between around the east coast of Nova Scotia . So this may be the next fishing venture for me .
What do you guys recommend for bait? Never tried fishing strippers before was gonna take my grandpa out this weekend but not sure on what to use for bait
I would start out with bloodworms. The guys at the bait shop will hook you up with the right hooks and stuff. They are pretty good in the North East. Try to fish near a river mouth on the out going tide. 👍👍
Appreciate it thank you
Don’t forget to make sure you reel the barrel swivel through the guides or you won’t land the fish.
👍😁😵😵😱
FANTASTIC VIDEO!!!
Cashtheflashfishing 100 thank you!
Damn guys nice video . I live right across the street from that spot . And never seen such big Cows
hooked up like that .... Fine video
shanerr929 We’ll be there a lot this spring, same boat, we always fly an American Flag, when you go there this spring bring a flash light, if you see us out there shine us down and we’ll come pick you up. You can fish with us the rest of the day. It works in the daytime too if it’s good light. 😁.
Where is this located
Has Bill Dance would say that's a beautiful fish!
😁😁👍
Great catching!
MY FISHING BROTHERS!
Please help me out and click SUBSCRIBE! Thanks!
are you drifting or is the boat anchored? i am in a small boat in the bay and wondering if the current / wind will be too strong in about 15ft of water.
What a pos!!! How does he not answer this question??? Phook this dude
That's some quality fishing!
paul vanaman thanks brother!!
Thats what you call bearded fishing
👍
Great video!
Beautiful flat calm water. What I wouldn't do for a little of that around here.
Nice fish! And that looks like some nice gear you’re using. What is that gear you’re using?
Steven Kazmierski Thank you Sir! Accurate Valiant 400 reels and Accurate 7020c Rods.
GREAT SHOW!
Danny Collins thanks Danny!!
I know this video is kind of old so you probably won’t respond but where did you catch the fish

Thank you
Great video epic day had me laughing
Thanks brother!!!😁😁
great video but what was you using for BAIT ???❤👍🙊
Terry Lusk cut bunker. Menhaden
Awesome fishing!
Such great conditions
What rod are you using @1:30 with the blue foregrip?...thanks
What type poles are you using.
Seeker 7020.
Your fishing right next to my marina!!
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Good job guys
Thanks brother 👍
I enjoyed that. What size hook did you use? I’m watching on an airplane and don’t have headphones so I can’t hear.
In this video we were using 8/0 J hooks but we use these 9/0 inline circle hooks normally. In fact it’s the law now. amzn.to/325i8xC
Awesome beard bro!
big ron 😁😁👍👍
Great video too!
What is bunker?
Atlantic Menhaden. Baitfish.
Bet those beard hairs would make a fine bluefish leader lol
I’m going fishing at grizzly island needed a good rig
Thanks for the video. Wish you would have shown the bait and how you put it on the hook. New to fishing!!!
Hubert Manley check this one out. Lots of good stuff. Including baiting. czcams.com/video/9zx6ZjyATxU/video.html
basic "bunker bait' chunks ,hook through midway or at least 1/4 fatty part/ use if around blues use steel leader
What year was that guy's is that 2018? Because down here in Boston they're just starting to hit the rivers on the way to the Salt Water. They are here 2 or 3 weeks swimming Upstream chasing the shad and Herring and then they're off the saltwater I'm so happy that striper season is upon us I've been waiting all winter.
Brian Morton this was last year, but we are doing just as well right now. It’s been great here for last 3 weeks. Ny.
Now that's a awesome beard
When would be the correct time to use a weight ? Do you use a sinker or an egg ?
That beard would make Teach himself jealous.
😝😝😝😝😝
nice feesh
what are you using for bait? those were some big stripers.
Brody Hollister cut bunker -menhaden.
may i ask what kind of bait you used in the video?
4:20 Nation sure brother!! Cut Menhaden.
What kind of dog is that? Knew a jack russell just like that but theyre diffrerent from the normal ones
I’m no sure. I’ll check with Tommy on that. Thanks brother 👍👍
going to try this in falcon dam boys thanks for the pointers,going fishing
whiskey jiro that's great. thanks for the comment. Go get em all!
I fished everyday the last 2 weeks and caught only under keeper size watching you pull up BIG BOYS so easily and just throwing them back in makes my soul hurt I home them bad Larry’s make it to my hook soon
I have a 12 foot aluminum boat with a small 2 stroke engine, I have yet to catch nice stripers like those, I use live pogues that I catch on hurricane barrier here In Rhode island and I usually stay near there to try to cath stripers but havent caught any, am I using wrong bait not fishing on the right spot?? I have to catch one like the ones you guys caught lol help me out got some tips for me?? I only have the boat for about 1 month. Im a rookie as you can prob tell by reading this.

AWESOME!! Please tell your Son THANK YOU FOR THE THUMBS UP!!
So jealous!!! Cant catch anything here at the Jersey shore!
what?????????????????? Sandy Hook, NJ never fails!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why do you use a swivel if it’s 30 to 30?
The bait spins in the current. It will twist the line.
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS okay that makes sense,
Awesome video 👍🏼
Thanks brother
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS I’m actually trying to get into striped fishing in the Ohio river, do you ever use lures or is cut bait your preferred method?
We use it all brother! If you go back to my older videos in freshwater they cover tactics that you will use in the Ohio river. Love bait mostly.
ty
What kind of meat you use to catch stripped bas?
Bunker chunks.
What is the purpose of a leader line if it's the same lb test monofilament line as the main line?
Without a swivel the line will twist when the bait spins in the current.
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS ok that makes sense but with live bait it probably wouldn't matter right?
I almost Always use a swivel. They will swim in circles and make a mess. You can get away without a swivel if you are constantly monitoring the bait, like pitching live baits to Snook or Tarpon- any situation where you’re holding the rod and casting and changing baits often. If it just sits in the rod holder for long periods of time you should used a swivel.
You're the man. Thanks for the reply!
What kind of rod holders are those and where can they be bought? It looks like they mount into a gimble mount on the boat.
That’s exactly right. Here ya go! czcams.com/video/DSau-iYqAXg/video.html
Those bass were almost as big as his beard!
🤣🤣
Your bib pants with yellow straps, what brand are they? Thank you.
Hey Tony, they are the new Aftco anhydrous rain gear. I was lucky enough to help test this new gear out for a year or so before they went into production. We beat the daylights out of most of our stuff and Aftco actually tweaked the design based on some of our feedback. I was very impressed with that. It seems that a lot of companies wouldn't make any changes after they hit the old "price point", but Aftco made some real improvements to get it perfect. It's a super lightweight super dry suit. They have these "cord locks" all over the suit that are awesome. You can really adjust the suit in several places so it fits perfect. This gear has to be the driest breathable gear out there. Thanks for the comment brother!
Stripers in the bay
NICE VIDEOS. WHAT TYPE OF ROD YOU GUYS USE? KEEP POSTING MORE VIDEOS. SOUTH OF CALI.😎
Marcos Avila thanks brother!! We use Accurate/Seeker 7020c medium light.
Hi guys...great vid!
Do you let the bait sink to the bottom or fish mid water?? thanks
Peter Rouse on the bottom with cut bait, this area is big and flat so the current isn’t very strong and the Bait stays on the bottom with no weight. Good question! Thanks.
Thanks for getting back to me Mike! I've got a 3 week bass fishing trip coming up in the Newburyport area in 2 weeks. Your videos are a massive help. Cheers
Peter Rouse thanks brother!!! Catch em ALL!
Haha I'll try buddy! Would love to see you boys do a video hitting the Merrimack Old School!!
Peter Rouse we need to do that. We’ve talked about but never did. Maybe you can meet us out there and show us around.
Why didn’t you keep them?
Numbers have been dropping every year since before 2011. This past study was pretty depressing. We would keep fish every now and then to bring to the VFW, but we don’t even do that anymore. On our way to another Moratorium if things don’t change. I don’t necessarily think that sport fishermen are to blame, but I think we can help by turning them all loose until things change.
Great video! Where did you get those rod holders?
Eric Cordeiro Ce Smith adjustables.
If your using 30 to 30 lb mono why use a swivel?
The bait spins in the current. You would get twists in the line.
where can i get them rods and reels what are they called
Brandon Burns Accurate Valiant 400 reels. Accurate 7020c Rods.
I'm confused to why is your leader and main line the same test.
Why not just go straight through from the reel??
Isn't the leader supposed to be lighter test just in case you need to break off??
Studio8 because the bait spins when you reel it in and also slowly turns in the current. Even though there isn't much current here, the baits do tumble on the bottom a bit. We also add weight when needed. We can do that quickly by snapping a slip sinker above the swivel when it's needed. Thanks for the comment
Ooh! See that never crossed my mind. Good stuff bro! Learn something new everyday. Thanks for that
Studio8 when we do use a different lb test for the leader we go heavier than the main line. We avoid weights and heavier leaders whenever we can get away with it. The heavy leader is great for big Stripers with sharp gill plates and we do go heavier quite a bit. Bigger fish usually pull drag and come right up to the surface so the line will pass over the gill plates several times due to the shallow angle to the fish on the surface. Believe it or not, the fish were quite finicky on this day. They wouldn't touch big baits, and also stayed away from the 50lb leaders we started with.
Studio8 any time my fishing brother!!
that was a great answer ,we use heavier leaders ,but i didnt know why. It also explains how they break you off so easily on lighter test. Do you guys eat the stripers ?,stripers the best ,cleaned properly. Are they safe to eat on the east coast.?im on the west coast and i prefer it over salmon,but we catch those too.What about sturgeon,do you have them?
great video thank you
Great video what kind of rod are you using?
Thanks brother!! These were Seeker 7020’s.
Awesome vid! Any recommendations on where I can take my kayak to hook into some stripers ? Thx!!

Mike you ever do any catfishing? I'm gonna set my sea pro up for catfishing and I really like those rod holders you use.
Chris Spivey I fish with Zakk Royce on Gaston some. He is the Blue Cat master!
Chris Spivey the rodholders are CeSmith mid mount adjustables. And Austin Sartin makes the rails. Call him. (336) 687-0519
Mike Smedley I do a lot of fishing on buggs island .. I fish every once in a while on the Kerr side. I actually met zakk and the big cat fever guys at the ramp in Clarksville one night
Chris Spivey they are great guys.
hey mike I was wondering what structure brought you to conclude that that would be a good spot to anchor up and chunk I usually never catch fish outside of current was there bait present ?
nevermind I finished the video and you answered my question lol good job man
Yes sir!! It doesn’t take much to attract fish when there is current. A hump like this can be littered with good fish. In freshwater you might need ALOT of structure, but not as much in the salt. 👍👍
How high/low do you guys set the drag with the rods in the holders? Greattt video btw!
Ryan Mclaughlin great question. In most cases I set the drag to be 3/4 of what the fighting drag will be so we can get the rod out of the holder quick to set the hook. (They are harder to get out when fish puts pressure on the rod) HOWEVER, when using circle hooks I leave it at full fighting drag. If the drag isn't paying out at the strike we wind the reel hard without taking it out of the rod holder to sink the Circle hook before picking up the rod. Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for the fast reply, you guys are the best!
Ryan Mclaughlin thanks Ryan!!!!!
Is that ZZ TOP?
🤫
How would u rig up for the hundson like havestraw Bay Area tide no tide, weight no weight, night time day time ,what your thought
Thomas Wild I have always preferred evenings pretty much everywhere. If there is no tide, I go no weight. From there I go as light as I can get away with. A simple 5/0-7/0 circle hook with cut and whole Bunker would be where I would start. Clams and and bloodworms will do well too, but you will possibly catch lots of smaller fish that way. Grip it and rip it Brother. Try a bunch of stuff and see what sticks. 😁.
Awesome fishing man! What type of bait were y’all using?
Looks like bunker
Thanks for posting, we do something similar in SOCAL, live deans nose hook, slow trolled with fluoro and swivel or even straight line, using a bait runner so when they pick it up they can run and take line. Circle hooks, can't beat the technique.
May I ask what part of the country you are in?
Awesome. This was in NY. Raritan Bay.
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS Hey Mike--hope you are hunkering down, and that now, or as soon as you can, you can hit the water again. New York to California, out of Long Beach Harbor for me--let's see some tight lines this year, one way or the other.
Jmichael Isbell Thanks brother. Same to you!!
how many are they allowed to keep
Racing Pigeons I’m not really sure anymore. Tommy used to keep one here and there, but we don’t even do THAT anymore with the drop off in numbers. I think it was 1 per person
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS why is there a drop off in numbers
That’s the big question. No one seems to have the definitive answer on who is to blame, but as of now we will release EVERY fish we catch. That’s really all any of us can do. We probably only kept 1% but I feel that even THAT may be too much now.
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS here in california we have them in plenty
What set up would you suggest if I'm fishing from shore?
dzoan duong find areas where the channel runs close to the bank. You don't necessarily need to cast all the way to the channel, but you have greater chances when fishing the shallow water NEAR the deep water of the channel. Use larger spinning reels with 10-12" surf cast rods. 50-80lb Stealth braid. 20-40lb mono leaders. I like to cast eels because they stay on the hook best when casting hard. Hook in the tail.
