Topwater Stripers on the Connecticut River | S19 E01
Спорт
Host Chris Megan heads to the mouth of the Connecticut River with good friend Captain Joe Diorio to catch large striped bass on topwater lures and live bunker.
After pushing off the dock in Old Lyme, Connecticut, Capt. Joe Diorio and Chris Megan head under the Amtrak commuter rail bridge and head to the flats on the mouth of the Connecticut River. Despite high pressure, bright sunshine, and high air temperatures Joe and Chris find a school of large striped bass hiding in the shallow river flats.
By fishing a topwater lure, known as the doc, Chris and Joe catch a number of large striped bass out of the murky shallows of the river mouth.

I had the pleasure of fishing with Captain Joe Diorio this past fall. He is a great captain; we had a blast. Looking forward to doing it again this season.

Thanks bud. Had a blast out there with you as well!
Just went out yesterday on a trip with captain Christian, and two of my good friends, Mike and Ed and we had a blast! I would recommend Joe Diorio fishing to everybody! Thank you Kristin for a great day old kitchen, huge stripers, and all three of us getting our PB’s!!!
Awesome to see some giants coming right out of my back yard!
Joe is one of the best charter captains out there! Class act and great personality.

Fun stuff. Very similar to June fishing in the NY Bight and Raritan Bay. Curious which side of the June full moons you find more productive.

Hey Joe nosecret there been fishing that my whole life 25 years ago we used to see school of thousands of bass out there we would hit them with the boat there was so many ! And on fly sliders with 8-10” saddle hackles my killer fly
Capt. Mike Roy is king of the CT river
The only thing that helps get through winter
Incredibly fun. Tough to watch in the middle of winter! I want to know why no net?

Nets take up to much room on the boat. Also I feel certain nets can rip the stripers scales off their bodies.

Boga Type Grip better than a net. No hook problems and better for the fish.
Posting this in the dead of winter is mean.... so mean guys TT
If they dont have a moratorium soon there won't be any Bass again.
When would you go to the 9inch doc vs let's say one of the smaller versions of the doc lure? And when would be the "ideal" time to use the doc as well as rod setup with it as well from boat, or surf?
I want to try some of that top water fishing for stripers, that was exciting. What to call those plugs ?
Nice Joe, what depth are you fishing here?
wish i could fish with you guys for stripers
When did you go because I live down at the shore the only problem is I never know a good time to go
what's the limit size for striper?
Looks more like the mouth of the river and not the actual river.
Why did yall fill this is June the beggining of summer bad post it in winter
What’s the rod and reel combo

In USA is needed a permission to fishing in salt water ?
Saltwater??
“No net on this boat” that’s because Joe doesn’t catch any 50 lb + class bass lol edit:long arming 30 pounders doesn’t make them 50
Learn how to cast! It's not thowing a baseball!
