Montauk Surf Striped Bass - First Time Fishing the Mecca
Фильм және анимация
Drove to long island for a few days in June to fish for fluke and whatever else… I ended up giving montauk a shot for stripers with fishaholic on this day and was pretty underwhelmed by a slow pick of small fish. This was my first time ever fishing the legendary mecca that is montauk, I think 10 years ago on a day like this we would have been catching 30”-38” fish in these exact spots and exact lures. From what I have gathered, montauk is a tough place to catch big bass any more (from shore at least). Is Montauk still the mecca? or is it past its prime. The Balloons are thick on the shores out there. Boats off NJ/NY report seeing up to 100 in a day, we gotta do better than that. I shoulda picked up those balloons, no excuses.
Rod- amzn.to/2NoZE33
Reel is a Saragosa 6k (I do like this reel a lot) amzn.to/2NVtqxr
Lures I used-
Kastmaster XL amzn.to/2zLUMDb
Yozuri Mag Darter amzn.to/2uvwrwn
Camera is a Gopro hero 5 black, and even though it sucks and constantly gives me problems, you can purchase it here for cheaper than what I paid for it. maybe youll have better luck with it than me. amzn.to/2mnzphZ

Sooo? You just left the balloons? Nice..here in Hawaii we love our oceans and sea life so we clean and try to protect it..but maybe next time bring an extra trash bag and pick up the balloons that way itll be Beautiful for the family that goes there...Aloha.😊🤙🏽🤙🏽

same thought... a dozen mylar balloons popped with a fish hook can fit in a single pocket...
As a usual , I always enjoy your video , loved your dash full of plastics and bucktail, you are a true fisherman , keep 'em coming . thanks.
Entertaining as always, love ur vids man! keep em coming
Chris, we appreciate your blatant honesty and "half-ass-ery." :)
You can always pick up the balloons also!

You can head over there and pick up all the balloons buddy! Taking away 15 balloons the from the millions that are floating around in the ocean isn't going to do crap! Chris is simply a fisherman, and he was trying to use this this platform to inform people about the issue. The words he said in this video will have more of a positive impact on people than everything you have ever done in your life. You are a very, very, ignorant person.... what a shame.
I am old enough to remember when it was very difficult to catch a 28 inch bass anywhere on Long Island waters. The bass fishing has been incredible this year. Fishing from a boat around Montauk with live Porgies harnessed to 10/0 live bait hooks behind the head has been producing 50 pound fish the past two weeks.
Your "half assery" is a learning experience that most if not all of us went thru. My 1st time in MTK., no belt or korkers. Lesson learned real quick...LOL
I know they're not the stripers you are use to, but to me any day is a good day on the ocean. I love fishing charters and party boats! Really looking forward to seeing some of those vids when they drop!
I’m going to the cape cod canal for the first time later this summer any recommendations or suggestions
Hello, great videos. I would like to know what are your favorite weather conditions for surf fishing (wind temperature etc..) I am a bit new to fishing and these factors puzzle me. I hope you can help. thanks
hey chris heading to the bay at night soon for schoolie bass. what would you throw a small swim shad? i’ve had luck on those but just curious for other opinions
What length and rod action is your setup ?! Looks niceeeee👊🏽👍🏽
I have 2 of those surf rod! What size n power are you using?
Luv your dashboard Fishin and scoutin for deer season Rich knows MOntauk but you gave a good first try My dream to go with you guys!
It's June /july what do you expect ? come back in october with a wetsuit or at least some corkers and you'll see why it's the mecca...
Hey seamoney nice vid as always. The European version of the striped bass is called seabass and it is a very smart fish and a little stronger than the striper but doasent get as big. Although we have big ones here in Greece . Keep up the good work I’ve been watching you for years.

Video of very Success Congratulations Fisherman! Have a great week and good fishing. *HUG!* 👍🎣
Great fishing Sea-Money, and thank you for pointing out the danger of balloons and sea life. People just don't know or they don't care. Anyway, nice fishing.
Never half-ass two things. Whole-ass one thing. -Ron Swanson.
What kind of snap are you using?
You are spot on about the European bass sea money, they are just called bass over here and I'd kill to have a session like you had every day. A 4/5lb bass would definitely put a smile on your face, and catching a 3 or 4 of those in a session would be excellent fishing for us. But our lure tackle is lighter too generally so you get more fight out of them. I had a 8lb fish on a 7/8 wt fly rod this season and that was great sport.
Another good video ✌🏼
Lmao! At least your montauk experience fishing involved fish! I was washed off rocks, bashed by all size of waves and failed to produce anything. I started fishing behind the hotels and caught and caught approximately 40+ skate the next night. That was my first trip!!
Cool video. What make and model is the clip at the end youre line?

I think he aired a previous video explaining he uses Tactical Anglers Clips, unless I saw that on another angler I follow. 75# clip. Easy on and off for switching lures.
What kinda rod was that Chris
Love your videos sea money, I was just out on the boat with fishaholic and we did pretty well. 38# being the biggest and my PB
Montauk kicked the shit out of me the very first time I went...and I loved it.
I agree w/you on the balloons.
Heck yeah man, thumbs up brotha, calling out those owners of balloons. Could not have said it any better.
Hey Sea-Money Fishing. Just found your channel, love your videos. Subscribed!
Great video as always. One point though: you were upset about the balloons but you didnt pick any up, so they will most likely end up back in the water.

FishAholic Fishing I remember meeting New York fishermen on the beaches of Cape Cod over the years, that considered the Cape mecca.They believed that Montauk was a spring and fall fishery only and that we (Mass residents ) were lucky because striped bass made the Cape their season long residence. Don't know how true that was but that was feeling among some back then.

Thank You for telling the world about the balloon problem ! I personally have found over 100 Loons that have died because of eating those DAMN things !
In Portugal a day like this would be great! Our seas are overfished. I've only snagged one decent seabass (robalo) in the last 2 months. No balloons on our shores but some plastic.
What's the name of the rod you're using?

NICE.........grew up on long island....
Typical day at Montauk nothing but smallies in the surf. Been fishing Montauk 15 years and yes this is exactly what to expect.
How many balloons did you pick up?

Pros and cons of the Daiwa coastal? First I've seen you use it. Been eyeing one in my local shop. Did you have "Balloon Day" in elementary school? Where im from, on "balloon day", every student and staff released at least one balloon into the sky at the same time. Prob 1,000 plus balloons released every time the day came. I reeeeeally hope that practice has been discontinued.

I dont love it. mine is a 2-6oz medium heavy, but it feels more like a 1-3. If 1-3 is what you want yea I think its a good option. It doubles over on 20" bass. Sandy beaches Ill use it with smaller plugs but for bigger baits/fish I dont use it. Good eelin rod, bad for throwing bigger plugs.

Nice vid. We have them here in the Netherlands only without stripes.
Alot of balloons and how many did you pick up?
NICE 🎣😎
Love your channel man. I always get stoked when Sea Money finally uploads a new vid. Maybe when your GoPro gets corrupt and fail to record audio you can add in voice over sound effects of the waves crashing. "Shwoosh, swishhh!" maybe some wind? "Whooosh, pshooo!" And some birds? "Ca caww!" And some footsteps too? "Thump, thump" maybe when you catch a fish? "Flop, flop" "wiggle, wiggle" and "rattle, rattle" when the plug starts shaking. This idea might make life easier for you since you won't have to worry about corrupt audio anymore. Please consider my ingenious recommendation. Tight lines and Keep on slayin em. Sincerely, A random fuckin person with a horrible idea.
How many lures you lose in those rocks?
Chris vs Balloons!
really thought you was concern until you didn't pick them up!! ........................well I hope you picked them up....and what did you do with the water bottle??
I usually go home with 8 or 10 balloons every time I fish IBSP. Absolutely disgusting. How do you like that Coastal SP rod? I am thinking about picking one up for a lighter surf set up.

Thanks for the reply. That is the problem I am having; I want something that can handle bigger plugs like metal lips if I need it to, in addition to my usual Mag Darters and SP Minnows. Trying to decide between this and the Mojo Surf. Thanks again, and keep up the good work.

I was going to say, the mojo surf might have some more power, Id def lean towards that if you are looking to throw the bigger SP's, mag darters and custom plugs. I have the mojo inshore and mojo musky and both of those overperform in regards to their weight rating, I can only imagine the mojo surf is the same. edit: the rods I just mentioned are way more than I thought (black hole rods)
Rod model please

I doubt you’ll reply to this or see this but could you please do a video on tips or tricks for fluke fishing. Me and my father tend to go out party fishing and I tend to struggle on when to set my rod and reel in. You seem to have a lot of skill with it
Did you pick the balloons up or just leave them?

I had audio issues too with my go pro. Turned out to be my cheap ass pny memory card. Went to a sandisc and never had another issue.
I'm sure at the right time you can catch some beasts at Montauk. A lot of people tell me Montauk got some good blackfish 😯
Right On with ballon comment!!
Yes man. The size of the bass you are catching in this video is common size but rare in the Adriatic Sea. You can not catch bass over here on every cast of the lure. May be two or three all day long. I am looking forward for my upcoming visit in Atlantic City in August. Last year was not a fishing season over there. There were not schools of bunkers and mullets too. Just flounders and small strippers and flounders. Besides the City has pumped sand all the way up to Margate from the inlet and there are no small crabs and sand flies. Also the water unusually warm for the last three four years. My folks over there say the water is again too warm and crystal clear which is unusual for AC.
Nothing better than catching a bass just out the reach of the surf casters under the lighthouse
All those balloons you pointed out yet left every single 1!
He should def have a super strike darter or a tsunami sandeel. Those are must haves in Montauk
This small fish is really huge for EPF. LoL
Montauk is eroding due to Robert Moses State Park. Robert Moses filled a sand barge and caused the tide to erode Montauk. That's, why you see those dirt cliffs houses, are actually falling into the ocean. Building lower manhattan and Canarsie landfills and more devestated Montauk.
Montauk hasn't been good in years. It is now known as the "False Mecca". Cape Cod Canal is Now the current Mecca!

If you got knocked off that rock and stepped on a nail... now that would be bad!🤣
So from my limited (but growing) experience, fishing Montauk without korkers, Bucktails, diamond jigs, and a sealed reel is like fishing the Ditch without Mackerel colored lures, AlGags jigs, and a rod heavy enough to throw 3 oz magic swimmers. If you plan on coming back, buy some korkers before you buy a wetsuit. And please do come back.
Those fish fight so well because all the oxygen in that water. They are feeling strong.
I would rather have this weather than "texas heat" weather. I think though, the area that you need to fish has to be deeper closer to shore (no sandbars). If they are sandbars, they need to be deep. waves at a minimal; maybe, fishing with eels,,,rr (thanks for the video; gave a thumbs up for effort and scenery).
In England, our bass are just one species and they are called Bass and often wrongly called Seabass

A balloon is basically like a bag. so you would have had like a hundred bags to put balloons in, and it would work way better than trying to complain those balloons off the beach, or whatever you were doing there with that minute of jump cuts to each balloon. Don't make a big deal about something you're not willing to fix, especially if you have the power to do so. I'm just saying. Keeping my subscription, I just hope you think about that for the next time you encounter something like that. Its up to all of us.
Poor bird probably choked on an effin balloon!
Went to MONTAUK without korkers and you made back without breaking anything you are lucky.
More kayak videos!!!!!!!!
Lmao the unopened beverage thing...still laughing
Shoulda stopped in for a beer eh
You smoke a lot of weed don't you?😎 Jk. I went to Montauk and didn't get a chance to fish. I was dying to go but didn't happen. Great video.
and I'm pretty sure out by the rocks you'll be casting further than the weeds so you won't get hung up so much... but all in all u still catching bass brother..
U know.. IF you picked up those balloons, I bet people would donate to a patreon for you to get a chance to win a random drawing to get an official sea-money Montauk surf balloon. Just saying, you make things valuable! Nice vid. Thanks for pushing yourself.
So many ballon bandits these days
In ocean city Maryland we have been crushing the stripers! Seen many big fish caught since may.
