Great video! Gives us a better understanding of how they behave and what's going on when we feel those small hits.

I appreciate this video. Thank you for it. I am most impressed that the fish were not spooked by that size of a camera right at them. That tells me some things about the fish. I like going to Bass Pro Shops and watching the bass in the tank. If they are hugging the back wall and structure, they are doing the same thing in the lakes. Every time.

Seeing how they react underwater can tell us alot. They're curious creatures. The camera sometimes attracts them too. Glad the video helped you.

Awesome video Meng. Your video showed exactly how I hook a 21 inch striper at O'NEIL Forebay, hooked it on the body. Basically it got caught on the triple hook, fowled hook it as it try to injure the lure 😆

This is a very good video. I notice bass have a similar behavior as stripe bass. I’ve had bass strike super hard on a whopper plopper and missing it. But I’ll slow it down and make it seem like it’s injured and they’ll come back and demolish it!

excellent video...one of the best and most informative I have seen. Thank You for sharing

A cold front after a warming trend usually slows down the bite. The next warming trend should increase activity. That doesn't mean you won't catch fish during a weather change.

Project Mercy2 Aye i live on the hudson too, they have sick striper fishing through May, the best way to catch is blood worms on a bottom fishing rig. Lures dont catch nearly as much. The bass react really well to blood works when they are on the spawn, my buddy got a 35lber, and another guy set the state record a few years ago on a blood worm. Caught tons of fish on them

These guys are maddening sometimes. I spent over an hour on a bridge in Maryland and every cast, my lure was trailed by 3 or 4 stripers. Great visibility. All they wanted to do was follow it; tried everything to get a strike, but they didn’t want to commit.

Hey Mang, I see you were trolling at Millerton. I remember quite some years ago, it was common to hook up on strippers at Millerton as well. What ever happened to that fishery for strippers?

@MengXyong

5 жыл бұрын

I read somewhere that there's an age slot when striper reproduction is at it's prime. Once they get past that, they becomes less successful. Most of the stripers at Milerton are older heavy weights that are probably past their prime. That could explain the declining fishery. The state would have to restock the striper population to keep the fishery healthy.

@MengXyong

If you're trolling, slowing down the boat or pulling your rod back n forth once in a while can entice a strike. From shore, try different retrieves until you get a bite. Sometimes they'll like it fast with a quick pause, sometimes they'll like it slow and steady. Let the fish tell you what it wants that day. Thanks for the kind words brother and good luck.

Oh, what do you recommend for type of rod and reel, as well as line for swim bait (like the big hammer) as I fish inshore? There are so many too choose from as I shop at Bass Pro Shop. I can afford quality tackles(I spent much money on average stuff) so now I want to devote good quality tools even though I understand quality tackles don't really make me a better fisherman. Thank you so much in advance FishAholics.
