Fresh Water, Live- Bait, Striped Bass/ BASICS-Old School

[InshorePrincess]

Great Video!

[bigfri5]

What happens when you have 4 rods going off with 2 people on?

[Zeke8762]

@bigfri5 You have fun. Lots of fun.

[frankenstrat25]

@bigfri5 lol call jeremy wade hell come from a plane and crash it right into the water. then hell go time to go for a swim while hes fighting the fish

[rchassereau]

Cool video! At the end I am a bit confused about the auto pilot on the trolling motor. Does it just keep the boat straight, or use some kind of depth finder in conjunction to keep along the bank? In either case it sounds pretty sweet.

[stripers182]

@rchassereau The basic Auto Pilot uses a compass to hold you on whatever heading you set it for. For instance, if you point your bow at a water tower 10 miles away across a wind blown lake, you can take a nap and wake up at that water tower several hours later. If the boat gets blown left, the head will turn right, etc. wont go in circles, like a standard motor.

[rchassereau]

@stripers182 Thanks for the clarification, that is pretty awesome to know.

[BLAIRPointO]

@stripers182 Great video what kind of reel is that baitcaster and how much

[asstuto]

NICE Accurate reels!!!!!

[Belayen81]

hello sir, gud info u hav. may i knw what do u call that Board on which ur name & numb written on it. or can u explain how to use make 1.?

[nauris706]

there must be like no fish to catch

[texasboi2real]

This guy has to many rods...lol

[anthonyfishallyear]

try saltwater stripers more fun and bigger

[usnate1]

@anthonyfishallyear They run just as big in freshwater pretty much, there won't be as many large ones(50+lbs) just b/c of the shear number of fish in the ocean, 30's and 40's are common and the lake lanier GA record is 67lbs...if someone lives inland that'd be kindof hard to fish saltwater every weekend...they're the same fish species...Done both, just as fun either way for me.

[gressinn08]

Hi I realy liked your video truly amazing setup. blew my crap out of the water. thanks again rock out with your cock out redballs out......

[sim0nlim0n]

how did you catch the bait

[MacAndStuffs]

@sim0nlim0n i do small hocks and for m8=D or worms

[hyperdunked5]

how fast do you troll?

[He11schaos]

lolz fish nose ring

[fponton1]

what kind of boat do you have?

[H34dBangr]

what fishing rod is better to use for big bass?

[Splivins]

Fantastic video. I'm grateful for you taking the time to film and post this. It has answered every question I had dealing with trolling for striper!

[kenkenboylmao]

in michigan by the detrit river millions of shad died this winter and i was like wtf were are they and had no bait for walleye :(

[crankbaity]

do u catch them with the nets by the shore

[jshark9888]

ok thanks stripers182



[SuperEazy12]

i never thought of hooking it that way i always hook em thru the tail or back but i'll try it

[jshark9888]

do u think shad are in Nebraska? because i dont know if they are if they arnt what kind of bait should i use a bluegill. or should i go to the bait shop AND buy there biggest minnows and use them.

[stripers182]

@jshark9888 if you can get Giant bass Minnows or shiners they will work OK. You can use Blue Gills, just be sure to catch them with rod and reel NOT a castnet. they are a gamefish, and netting them is illegal most everywhere i know of. There are probably Shad or herring though. ive used Herring as far North as New York in freshwateer.

[sniperglory4]

@jshark9888 Blue gill is amazing bait... if you go inshore and use trout hooks with small pieces of worms, on a lake beach area you will catch amazing bass bait. I use 3 inch blue gill for huge bass.

[zeeKxxL]

@jshark9888 Here in Iowa, you can find them I'm sure they didn't lose there way getting to Nebraska.

[stitch16261]

where are you at on Smith mountain lake?

[stripers182]

@stitch16261 Kerr Lake

[khmerkrazie]

haaah. do you have racket grip on your pole? nice! i just noticed because i play tennis and badminton =]

[stripers182]

@khmerkrazie Its RodWrap.

[Mauriciodemoya]

what type of rod are they? looks like an accurate reel?

[stripers182]

@Mauriciodemoya Penn Slammers

[suicide5389]

whats up with the blue tape on the rods?

[Fisherguy28]

@suicide5389 Better grip

[stripers182]

@suicide5389 Keeps the rod from slipping when it gets wet with eel and shad slime, especially when its raining.

[MrWong631]

what if the fish eat from below???

and, is it better to fish with live prawns then fish??

[gamemeister27]

Threadfin over Gizzard shad? Odd choice. 

[stripers182]

I use everything from Trout to Eels, and everything in between. These fish were gorging on the dying Threadfins during the cold snap. If you only use one kind of bait everytime, your probably missing out.

[masterlocdown]

very informative.

[MrBhagyaraj]

ya its great i ve learned

[Bbfishman]

great video

[mxman95]

do you know if this set up that ur doing works for hybrid striped bass

[paintballpoeple]

thats cool. I live in Colorado and I love to fish. I use a Pflueger Rod and reel.

I am going fishing in a couple of days and I will use an international rod and reel. (my friends reel and rod)

[TheStoner33]

looks like you got a realy nice set up for those stripers i couldd tell you knoow what your doin when i saw the reels your useing i love those accurate reels there just a lil bit heavy but nothin you cant handle thanks for the vid

[ChanielDang]

I've been to Smith mountain lake before! haha but I was fishing for largemouth, not stripers. and we actually didn't have much luck

[357magnum98]

did u ever catch anything with that? and i live in florida and cant find any bait fish , i also dont have a boat that works, what should i do?

[111amirez]

where would i be able to get some shad like that in california

[MrGman013]

[DatDereBlueRidge]

[FishOnFishing]

[mxman95]

[atlantis408]

Great instructions. Good job with the explanation as well. Keep em coming.

[Ka0xSaEPHaN]

dude u can use 6 pole? dat kool in cali i can only use 2 lol

[youmanwhore]

have u ever accidently hit one of them buttons on the watch?

[stripers182]

Sometimes< it beeps though.

[mrcegodepenas]

Hello I am From Brasil,Don't know much about fishing here.

Same say the Stripers Like Grass Shrimp better as a bait.

Do you ever use them.

Can You spell the name of that one you are using in this video please.Do they work the same in any fresh water. I will stay for wile in California Close to the Delta River.Hoping to get some of those.

Thank you

[davidkarenbeth]

This is a very good instuctional video, and i learned alot, i just wish there were more videos like it on youtube. Question,i know how to use a cast net but i can never catch any shad, got any tips?

[stripers182]

In the winter, you can mark them on the graph holding in tight schools, then cast-net them. In summer, you can find them "flipping" on the surface, sneak up and throw the net. Or put a green light out near bridges at night.-Mike

[hyperdunked5]

@davidkarenbeth Do you fish on a lake that has feeder rivers and streams?

[davidkarenbeth]

what rod and reel is that your using, it looks like a shimano but im not sure

[stripers182]

Accurate 870N Boss reels. Here is a Penn Slammer rod. But the new Accurate Xenergy rods are incredible!

[Jerodspc1]

Great vids! Not many on stripers here on tube. Have any vids on catching the gizzard shad? Also what to do to make them live awhile? I heard you have to keep the temp cooler in the bucket with lots of aerator?

[samkam56]

Great Video! We fish the exact methods at Beaver Lake and Norfork Lake in northern Arkansas.

[cyphercomplete]

Mate, u catch any pike with live bait?

Cheers from OZ

[mhowar4]

What kind of hooks should you use just to cast live shad up on to some rocks.. i was using some softbaits and saw some guy rollup and get like 4 lunkers just tossing up live shad on a single hook

[mhowar4]

for shad about the size used in this video..

[stripers182]

When I pitch live Shad I will usually use a little bigger hook than when I'm pulling a full spread. The extra weight of the bigger hook aids during your cast, and the thicker shank doesn't rip through the bait's nostrils as easy.

[stripers182]

When pitching a live bait you will most likely get a reaction strike, so the bigger hook wont spook most fish. I sometimes use a conventional reel for this, but a wide spool spinning reel with braid will cast a light bait like a dream. In this video we are using a 2/0 hook, but for pitching I will go as big 4/0 or even 5/0. Gizzard Shad are the best for casting as their noses are rock hard, and can surrvive a dozen or so casts before going limp.

[mhowar4]

Awesome thanks.. i tried goin out yesterday. but the only shads I was able to net were tiny so i ended up just going back to storm lures. Hopefully Ill get some better ones today

[RingOfFire1988]

jesus how many rods do you want lol im glad i dont have to go to these lengths to fish. you got your technique worked out perfectly mate.

[stripers182]

If your gonna be a bear, be a Grizzly!

[AmericansSexualPreds]

why u need those planer bords waz the point

[Post4now]

awesome lessons

[WSARMENIANPOWER]

NEVER MIND. I JUST SAW THAT 40LB STRIPER LOL!!!!! WELLL GOOD LUCK MAIN. put MORE VIDEOS IF U CAN.

[WSARMENIANPOWER]

HEY DUDE. I REALLY LIKE THE SET UPS. BUT DID YOU EVER COUGHT ANY BIG STRIPERS WITH THOSE SETS. why DONT YOU JUST LET THE live BAIT DOWN IN THE WATHER WITH ONLY THE HOOK AND THATS ALL. OR just USE LURES.

[Vincefishing4ever]

Hey Mike, Thanks for the info, but what is the actual reel mode/size of the Accurate casting reel your using? It is the reel at the end when your taking about setting the drag system. That is the size reel i would like to use. My fishing style is very similar to yours and I too believe that having qaulity gear is important. Those bobbers are the best thing I've seen come up in a long time. I've had many success with them. Once again thanks for a great video.

[stripers182]

Vince, The model in the video is the Boss 870N. The N is for narrow. The reel is originally designed for jigging,but, I love the narrow design. This design allows you to make fast retrieves without worrying about hand-levelwinding the line perfectly. It pretty much level-winds itself.

Thanks,

Mike

[stripers182]

I also really like the 270 model. It is slightly wider, but lower profile. The 870 reg. is twice as wide as the Narrow (it's huge in comparison) Either way, I would recomend the slower of the two gear speeds. The high speed will kick your ass with bigger fish! Or, spend the extra 100 bucks, and get the 2 speed.- They are killer.

[Vincefishing4ever]

Mike, Awsome video!!! You got a amazing set up. What kinds of reels are you using, they are cool!!! Also, thats got to be the best live well i've ever seen, what kind is it and where can i get a livewell like your? Keep up fishing cause your doing a great job!!

[MamaTribeBand]

Thanks for the comment. Those are the Accurate Boss Reels. They are in fact INSANE. They are $4-500. but every penny goes INTO that reel. If you just replace 1 or 2 reels a season with them, you wont regret it. The bearings in them are the same bearings used in sattelites in space! They never need service. Drags on both sides of the spool, the hardest internal grindable metals,(since Nothing is Cast, or Forged). Meat and Rock Hard Potatoes! You won't find any Brass here.

Get 1, and see!

[stripers182]

Sorry bout that, I replied while signed in with my wife's account. The tank is a Bait Caddy, I also think it is the best. Call Gregg at 918-270-2390. He can get you set up. They one in this video is 40 gallons, but I have a 50 also, for Bunker, and he now makes a 100 gal. I think his smallest is around 25. He does not have a web site though.

Mike

[sOmOnKt123]

hey do u get the bait at lake or store

do u know wat the lake name is

[MamaTribeBand]

That's Kerr Lake on the Virginia, NC. border. We net bait right there at the lake. Right now, they are 25-30ft deep, so you have to mark it on sonar, and throw the net, once it get's warmer they will move right up to the bank, and "flip", making them easy to spot.

Mike

[bravosixxx]

Yo Mike! Great Job! Keep posting those instructional videos. I know what you mean about the terds out there who like to be negative. SCREW THEM! You are a good guy and that is all that matters.

[stripers182]

THANKS BRAVO, I WILL!

[iphonehelp22]

yea this is how i rigg the basterd snappers (babey blues) the best for doormat fluke and live penuts for everything bunker is the best bait but is there a way to attract to the jetty these basterd menden always stay just out of range from the net any ideas for attractants

[stripers182]

Are you fishing off of the jetty? If so, a surf caster and a snag bunker hook is the ticket.

[stripers182]

Woops, spelled "here" in the wrong context!

Did I spell context right? HAHAHA

Mike

[iphonehelp22]

dude thanks so much!!

[stripers182]

I am glad it helped you, I am sometimes reluctant to post some instructional videos for fear of the "I WAS HEAR FIRST" Mafia!

(some people don't play well with others)

Thanks,

I will ALWAYS help someone in need.

Don, you are one funny SOB! I looked at your boards for about an hour, and I still couldn't figure out where the NUTZ Were! Those Fish Nutz boards are pretty cool though. Team Fletcher still tearin up Norman?

Mike

[fishnutz101]

I think you would like the Fishnutz planer boards a little better. Fletch
