Spearfishing for striped bass with a polespear.

[jrsurf19]

I spearfish this bridge to i see a lot of fluke there

[mbender104]

Nice shooting. Can you explain your setup? I saw the rope from the surface float, but where is it attached to? Was your gun attached to something as well?

[rdrums89]

woo! nice catch dude! howed you cook it?

[lebohusla]

your pole is very thin

[MrBearsito]

Which Bridge is it?

[xxxxdukexxxx]

I'm planning on getting into spearfishing, I bowhunt, Bowfish, etc.. now I wanna try this. I live in NJ, but the most Northern tip of the State, in Sussex County. We have LOADS OF Carp up here, walleye, pickeral, hybrid stripers, etc.

[88gunslinger88]

Good Hunting

[Jockindabeats]

like how many people can a fish that big feed?

[Rogerhockey999]

Amazing video. Where do you fish in New Jersey. Can I do that with my scuba equipment? I have a boat in Hoboken.

Thanks for the info.

Nice vid mate, if i were you id get a pair of neoprene gloves so you don't get blisters or stings from the spear rubber and jellyfish. Plus if you have some gloves you can hold the rubber down for longer leaving you more alert and ready to smash those stripers right through the skull, good on ya.

[Deerkill2008]

what bridge is that, im from nj and have a great lobster spot

[geechhard]

Guess the regulations are different in NJ, cause you definitely can't spear striper where I'm from.

[inshoreangler123]

same here next time he better make sure thats legal!!!

[bigburpboy]

ionta, where did'cha get the fish holder clip?

[watertothepeople]

great hunt and vid..good spirit! lot's of jelly fish around suddenly! did you get burned?

[pipsqueak87]

i just ordered an aaron crist polespear (heavy duty) and am planning to try it out in some of the lakes in arkansas. the lakes there are stocked with stripers, walleye, and catfish. by your experience do you think a slip tip would be necessary for stripers? Or would a single flopper be enough?

[hukytiy]

get a strip tip, when the fish is spinning it can unscrew a flopper. has happened to me.

[ionature]

slip tip for sure

[monkeykonga]

ionature, did you put in comments on a pole spear, spear gun, hawaiian sling forum. your from new jersey. did you talk with an australian named fitzy?

[Fritschhhh]

thats not the deleware is it?

[ionature]

Its New Jersey. 3mm suit w/ 8 lbs.

[pipsqueak87]

how much weight are you using on your belt? and how thick is your wetsuit, 5mm?

[monstersizemonsters]

Spearfishing Striped Bass is legal in New Jersey. At first I thought this was some knucklehead spearing a Striper with a pole spear but after watching it, I can see he is quite experienced. I would not suggest anyone doing this due to the simple fact that it is too easy to loose a fish like this on a pole spear. Kids, if you want to get into spearfishing, don't do it to be cool, do it because you want to eat the fish and experience the hunt while learning to respecting the ocean.

[Wildrogue]

He has a slip tip. It's not that easy to lose fish...

[falmouth10]

great job!

[josef2424]

how did you kill the fish?

[cccustommusic]

You need to make sure that you really pay attention to your area guidelines. In Massachusetts a striper needs to be 28 inches in length to be a keeper. In fact i think that it is not allowed to spear stripers in MA. Even so, it is pretty tough to tell underwater what is legal and what isn't. Everything is 20% larger looking underwater.

[awesomejohnnet]

I dont want to rain on your parade. But my experience has shown me that spear fishing for game fish is the begining of the end. Everyplace it has started they wiped them out from greed. In 5 years from now your fishing spots will all be empty. Such is the nature of this sport.

[werethepoops]

jellys?

[JRavenz]

I guess it depends on where your doing this but I don't know if I would want to leave blood in the water around where I'm diving, might attract some unwanted attention. SSSHHHARRRKKK!!!!!

[AceLockCo]

Nice video. I use a 7 foot JBL pole spear. I went last week at the Longport NJ jetty. Unfortunately the current and waves were insane so it was was not a fun time.

Can't wait to see more of your spearfishing videos.

[jmik91]

nope its not illegal but its alot harder shooting them down there than it is up here,you should should try it,i like it better than hunting deer

[bowhunterdave]

is it legal to spear gamefish in NJ? We cant shoot gamefish with a bow from the surface , why is underwater legal? And it looked too short... other then that it was a great video,made me wanna try it tomorrow:)

[AceLockCo]

Yes it is legal. I don't know anything about surface fishing with a bow. I have heard of people doing that. Anyway NJ is very friendly to underwater fishermen (and women...lol).

[plugdarter]

When was that bass taken? It looks like a short.

[jmik91]

its nice to see another spearfisherman from jersey i do most of my spearfishing on the north jetty in long beach island,where were u?

[ionature]

Point Pleasant

[rocksaltrob]

nice video, vis looks awesome! i've been spear fishing in jersey for the past 10 years, would love to exchange info.

[hussain9]

hey i live in Jersey too and ive bin looking for some areas to spearfish neways if your intrested reply

[njphishphan]

@ionature I live right in brielle, I love spearing that bridge, there is a bunch of really good size fish there, the railroad bridge is great too

[Viper449]

Where in NJ is that?

[chester287]

Nice. I use a 24 inch gun in NJ, but this looks like it would have about the same range and be more fun.
