GIANT STRIPERS IN MAY, The big Striped Bass came to Maine early this year.
Спорт
Snuck out for a mid-day tide the last week in May. After finding some mackerel I moved around to a few of the usual early season spots with minimal luck. I decided to try a new location near some of the mid-summer ledges I fish thinking the fish might be in transition from sand to ledges already and my hunch paid off. In under two hours of fishing I caught over two dozen schoolies, 3 slot fish, 2 32", 2 36", 2 38" and the 2nd to last fishing of the day was a 40". This was one of if not the best days of solo fishing I have ever had. I am encouraged to see so many small fish as well. Below are some of my other videos. I will be putting out content every Tuesday, feel free to comment any questions or subjections you may have.

I appreciate it man. When are we gonna see that classic bass boat out on the salt?
I’ll come help you out brother! Got my boating license and I can bring my go pro! 😂
What an epic session! I really want to do some live lining macks on the kayak this summer! This just makes my itch, itchier! Great job fighting these beauties Boyt!

Appreciate it
I live in windham. I just got a 17 ft triumph center console and plan to hammer stripers this year. I usually fish off the beach where you are in this video. But I can't wait to get it from the boat. I'd love to fish with you sometime and learn some things.
I love your videos.

Thank you. Filming hasn't gotten in the way of fishing so I'm going to keep making them
Slayed em!
Glad you got em. Sadly they skipped over my spot in CT this year. I usually have about two or three weeks of 32-34" fish in the cos cob river in Spring. Think I caught two in early May, and then nothing. Not even the schoolies hanging around. Def. sucks after we had a really good fall run in the river.

I am. 6ft of water. It's boulders surrounded by sand, so as long as you know where the. Boulders are you are good.
Always love the videos!!! I might get a GoPro and start documenting myself. Do you ever troll the macks or mostly anchor up?

I'll slow troll them on the beach in late July before the blues show up. Not a lot of bites but it is all big fish
Mash the barbs. Those circle hooks won’t let em off
Love the videos. Whats the ideal tide for these and how do you pick your spots? I’ve been getting all kinds of mackerels but can’t seem to land a damn stripper.

Low consolidateds them at the mouths of rivers or on the beach. I prefer incoming but it depends on the spot. For rocky areas look for good white water from waves crashing. Deep water near the spot is good too

Great video Boyt, do you hook up all your Mackerel by placing your circle hook between their mouth and eyes? Wish my dad could be out with me too :( Keep up the videos :)

I always go through the nose right in front of the eyes. Good hold, the most natural and least taxing retrieve on the bait

Thanks Boys, I just had my hip replaced 4 weeks ago and can't wait to get back out there. Love every minute of it when you are out there, not taking the great things in life like fishing for granted.
What do you use for chum to bring in the mackerel?
@FishingWithBoyt

Ground up herring or old bait and fish scraps.
You ever want some company hit me up. I live in the Portsmouth nh area but I'd travel to ya
Just curious, how long do you a spot that’s not producing before you move on?
@FishingWithBoyt

Depends. If i know it is the right tide and conditions (winds in the right direction to let me anchor where I want and there is enough current or waves making white water) I will wait it out. Also Depends on the time of year. Certain spots i'll wait it out because in years past thats where the fish were. This time of year ill fish the beach as long as it is the right tide and wind where as Fishing the beach mid day in August is a good way to get skunked. On the flip side fishing ledges too early in the year before the fish are setting up on them is risky too. So if I've had success in the past there with similar conditions I'll give it more time.
Charter info?
