[ribrahim87]

[ihatebobsaget1989]

if it was filmed in hd you could have uploaded it in hd for better quality too.

[thundermistlures]

@ihatebobsaget1989 Thanks for writing in and you'll be happy to know that all our videos are now in HD, and have been for a couple years now - so be sure to check out our newer videos. (This one is over 3 years old)

Until next time, good luck bad good fishing!

[StrictlyChargers]

I caught a 40 pounder last week but had to let it go. I used a live Lizard fish I had caught minutes before.

[thundermistlures]

@StrictlyChargers WOW - that's exciting...would have loved to have seen the photo - that's a monster fish - congrats and thanks for sharing!

[bassinmass0]

i was there just a few days ago and cought a huge one alone with some nice 20 incher flukes

[thundermistlures]

@bassinmass0 Nice catch!  Good luck on the water!

[thundermistlures]

@MrPokemonfan231 WOW - thanks for sharing your story with us - it just goes to show you that so long as you have a good drag system and you know how to fight a fish, it is very possible to land much bigger fish on lighter line.

Thanks again for sharing and good luck on the water!

[MrNIRVANA100]

Im eleven, very intersted in fishing. This channel helps me get better, so when I go out fishing with my dad, I'll do good!

[thundermistlures]

@MrNIRVANA100 You sure will! Good luck!

[dominickkoontz]

heck, the biggest one i caught was like 5 in...now im jealous

[thundermistlures]

@dominickkoontz Glad you enjoyed the video and thasnk for taking time to write to us!

[funnymexicans11]

My Dad caught a 109 LB black sea bass on a 25 lb test GREAT isnt it? it was out of san diego and in mexican waters.

[thundermistlures]

@funnymexicans11 Nice catch!

[TheSuperiorboy]

@funnymexicans11 that would be a calico bass black sea bass grow up to 25 pounds

[illusionistpg13]

Oh my goodness ivo! No mustache! What happened way back then

[thundermistlures]

@illusionistpg13 Actually, the mustache is still there - i just trim it right down every so often :)

Thanks for taking time to write and for tuning in to our videos - until next time, good luck and good fishing.

[NCAAaddict]

Those are beasts, keep at it! What are you guys tipping the bucktails with?, thanks

[thundermistlures]

@NCAAaddict Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for tuning in. You can tip your buck tails with squid, as that is very effective, but here, Ivo was just suing the buck tails as is.

Thanks for writing in and good luck on the water!

[CRonoldo7]

I'm going to fish in the same place right now off a beach

[thundermistlures]

@CRonoldo7 Best of luck to you!

[conswan57]

when i fresh water fish i use a bait that looks like a snake

[thundermistlures]

@conswan57 If it works for you that's great...stick with it. Thanks & good fishing!

[spookycheese123]

@conswan57 why would u dude

[conswan57]

@spookycheese123 Its a super salt lure

[XxsneakybastardxX]

i catch a lot of porgy in cape cod. can you tell me how to catch a bigger and better fish than the porgy maybe like the bluefish or something.

[thundermistlures]

@XxsneakybastardxX To avoid catching porgys and are bottom fishing, you need to move away from the area where they are. Also, don't use small pieces of bait - use big baits instead - especially for flounder. Fish using different methods such as casting, jigging, or even fish suspended. Remember, progys are a bottm fish therefore fishing suspended will definitly not catch them & you will have a great chance of getting blues or even stripers!

[Xposia1]

i use ragworm but i fish in cornwall and im going next week will this be fine for sea bass fishing???

[thundermistlures]

@Xposia1 Rag worm will work for sea bass but you will most likely catsh the smaller ones. For larger fish, try bucktail jigs, squid, small crabs, cut-bait. Thanks & good luck on the water.

[monkeybrains911]

do u eat em or throw them back?

[thundermistlures]

@monkeybrains911 We do save some for the dinner table as they are very tasty. Thanks!

[jtschid0910]

Does anybody use squid to fish sea bass?

[thundermistlures]

@jtschid0910 Yes we use squid for sea bass & they love it! Good fishing!

[DevilsMetsGiants]

i sea bass fish in cape cod all the time, off of hyannis

[thundermistlures]

@DevilsMetsGiants Hyannis is a great spot...things will start to heat up there soon!

[MrJoker4212]

YOU GUYS ARE WANNA BE PROS AND DONT BE GRETTY LET SOME GO

[thundermistlures]

@MrJoker4212 We do keep some fish for the dinner table but we also release many times. Thanks for showing your concern on conservation & good fishing to you!

[MrJoker4212]

@thundermistlures o sorry and do you knew when you start catching

[thundermistlures]

@MrJoker4212 We usually start catching sea bass around the end of May. Thanks!

[618thephoenix]

@MrJoker4212 fag

[Omgzitzrocket]

@MrJoker4212 what in the fuck... there is plenty of fish in the ocean, and these guys are pros, they are also way better than you will ever be

[monkey1235571]

how many ib was your test line??

[thundermistlures]

@monkey1235571 Ivo was using 20 lb test line, which is plenty for sea bass.

Thanks for writing in and good fishing!

[monkey1235571]

i caught 3 nice sea bass with a subuki and a leader and i used for bait a peanut caught them all at once with a 50 ib line

[thundermistlures]

@monkey1235571 Thanks for sharing your story with us and our viewers.

Until next time, good luck and good fishing!

[MarbledCheese]

what line test are you guys fishing? going fishing tomorrow :P

[thundermistlures]

@MarbledCheese We were using 14 lb test line or 20 lb braid with a 20 lb fluorocarbon leader.

Wish we were going fishing tomorrow :) Good luck out there!

[MarbledCheese]

@MarbledCheese thank you !!!! :D

[pamerganser]

Some nice fish there.....But i think you should put a scale on the boat as not one of those fish is even close to 4 lbs.

[pamerganser]

@pamerganser The Black Sea Bass is a deceiver in the weight category : >)

[thundermistlures]

@pamerganser We do carry a scale on the boat and have weighed some of the bigger ones. We did weigh some males at over six pounds. Thanks & good fishing!

[yankees2010nyy]

wish the fishing was like that in long island sound where i live...seems like all the fish dissapeared

[thundermistlures]

@yankees2010nyy Try fishing for them during the end of May or early June and concentrate on areas of 20 - 30 feet deep. They must be there, so keep looking...once you find them, mark that spot & work it good.

Thanks for writing in and good luck on the water.

[yankees2010nyy]

@thundermistlures thank you

[wilsoncampos8]

did u kept them

[thundermistlures]

@wilsoncampos8 Yes we did keep some for a nice fish dinner. Thanks & good fishing!

[moester11]

did u use squid on the bucktail?

[thundermistlures]

@moester11 When using the bucktail jig, you can certainly use a strip of squid and it will increase your odds of getting a bite.

The bucktail will work on its' own, but when tipped with squid, produces many more hits!

Thanks for writing in and good lcuk on the water.

[FishOnFishing]

is squid the best bait for seabass?

[thundermistlures]

@FishOnFishing Squid is a fantastic bait for Sea Bass - we highly recommend it.

If you rig a strip of squid on the back of a Viper Spoon, it will catch you plenty of Sea Bass, as well as many other fish a well.

Thanks for writing in and good luck on the water!

[FishOnFishing]

@thundermistlures ill have to try it next time im out on the water

[thundermistlures]

@FishOnFishing It's great fishing in early spring! Good luck!

[FishOnFishing]

@thundermistlures thanks, you too

[joel5673ify]

By the way,are you using ofmer rods?

[thundermistlures]

@joel5673ify Ivo was using a fishing rod from Cabelas, call the Salt Striker. It's an inshore rod, is very economical and is excellent!

Thanks for writing in and good fishing.

[chevynatoor]

can you catch bonito and mackerel using spoons from a pier ? or what can you catch them on? any tips?

[thundermistlures]

@chevynatoor There may be a chance of catching mackerel from a pier but not so much bonito. Small spoons will work. Cast the spoon and quickly retrieve. You may also use a mackerel rig. Just add a 1 oz. bell sinker, cast & retrieve. Thanks!

[Bbfishman]

lol "tu-tog"????? its tautog

[thundermistlures]

@Bbfishman You're right! Good fishing to you!

[striperhooks]

when is the best time to visit cape cod,Ma.for BSBAss fishing thank you and enjoy fishing : )

[thundermistlures]

@striperhooks Best time is mid May to second week of June. Good luck!

[4EREED]

be one of my sub scribers

[thundermistlures]

@4EREED Nice to hear from you & thanks for tuning in to our videos.

[4EREED]

awsome fishing rules :)

[thundermistlures]

@4EREED Have to agree, fishing's great! Good fishing!

[thundermistlures]

@4EREED Glad you enjoyed the video - thanks for writing in.

[Ring2tapout]

the musice sounds like the pawer puff girls musice lolololololo...l -_-'

[bigghitta5]

where are you catching those because i live in mattapoisett and i dont catch sea bass nearly that big

[thundermistlures]

@bigghitta5 Those fish were taken from Buzzard's Bay in about 20 feet of water.

Good fishing!

[thundermistlures]

@bigghitta5 You will catch them this big in May and early June. We made a trip this year during the 1st week of June and did fantastic.

Try fishing in Buzzards bay, closer to the mouth of the canal. The area between North Falmouth & Marion center is good - concentrate on 20 - 28 feet deep and you are certain to get into them.

We love fishing in Buzzards bay - it is a lot of fun. Maybe we'll see you out there next year!

[bigghitta5]

@thundermistlures ok

[bigghitta5]

were are u fishing for those i live on peas's point and atch sea bass but not nearly that big

[turgalicious2]

Howare you guys catching sea bass on bucktails... I live on long island and we fish on our boat on north shore and we never catch sea bass on bucktails

[thundermistlures]

@turgalicious2 We found an area where the sea bass were plentiful and basically fished our bucktails right on bottom.Thanks & good luck!

[jfar8504]

did you eat them, yum!

[thundermistlures]

@jfar8504 We did and they were very tasty! Thanks.

[XXXDarkdizXXX]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh change of plans im actually going to fraser river for sockeye wat can i use for sockeye any float fishing setups

[thundermistlures]

@XXXDarkdizXXX Try casting spoons & spinners. For float fishing, have a float, some spitshots to add to the line under the float and a streamer fly or roe bag. Good luck!

[XXXDarkdizXXX]

i usually fish for flounder

but next weekend i am going steelhead fishing

any1 hav any good setups?

[thundermistlures]

@XXXDarkdizXXX One good set-up is a 3-way set-up with roe bags. This method can be used for drifting from a boat, bottom bouncing in current from shore or still fishing in current. Float fishing from shore is also effective using a float, split-shot(s) & roe bag.

You may also troll with body baits or spoons - a downrigger will help.

[XXXDarkdizXXX]

@thundermistlures thanks you very much is there any alternative solution except roe?

[thundermistlures]

@XXXDarkdizXXX You may also try spinners, streamer flies, soft plastic minnows or real minnows, whole nightcrawlers, white curlytail grubs on a jig head. Thanks!

[XXXDarkdizXXX]

i caught a 7 pounds ling off of squid seriously people i really reccomend squid

[thundermistlures]

@XXXDarkdizXXX Squid is great bait! Thanks for sharing!

[gershrez]

i caught a 4kilogram sea bass in cebu city philippines...ill follow your technique here with the hopes of catching bigger ones

[thundermistlures]

@gershrez That's a big sea bass! Good luck with the bigger ones!

[WheresxYourxGod]

caught 32 keepers the other day, nothing over 14" though still good eatin :p

[thundermistlures]

@WheresxYourxGod ...sounds like a great day on the water - thanks for sharing!

[WheresxYourxGod]

@thundermistlures it was, got lots of hits that day, lost alot of bait =/ lol

[mdnzPOWNAGE]

Went on the patriot too today a great day of fishing a little crowded but still great only 4 keepers which is a low compared to other trips I've been on but tons of action fish over the rails every minute

[thundermistlures]

@mdnzPOWNAGE The main thing is that you had a good time! Thanks for sharing!

[mdnzPOWNAGE]

@striperhooks one of my favorite party boats is the patriot too it mainly fishes for sea bass and scup and it's located in Falmouth MA

[striperhooks]

may i know what is the best time to visit cape cod ma.for sea bass fishing and what the size limit and how many?what party boats are the best for sea bass fishing.thank u and God bless.enjoy fishing

[thundermistlures]

@striperhooks Best time for seabass is mid May to first week of June. Fish in Buzzards bay near the canal. For sizes & limits, please check recreational saltwater fishing regulations for Mass. Since we are not from the area, we do not know about party boats available.

Please contact a tackle shop in the Buzzards Bay area as they will be able to help you. Good luck!

[Redsoxxx927]

I would love to go fishing with you guys. I spent about $100 on VP and Boa, and havent had a chance to go on a boat, All i want is seabass.  Is that a boat that you guys charge for a party, or this is something that you guys experiencing with the Viper Spoons?

[thundermistlures]

@Redsoxxx927 Sorry, but we do not have a charter service. We hope that you will be able to fish for sea bass as they are very tastey. The lures that you have will work on seabass- you can rest assured. One thing to keep in mind while targetting seabass is to make sure that you position your lures 2 feet or less off bottom. Hope you get out there!

[wilsoncampos8]

are there different types of rods for different fish or you can catch anything

[thundermistlures]

@wilsoncampos8 There are many types of rods but it's best for you to go to your local tackle shop where the staff will be able to help you choose a proper rod (rods) for the fish that you would be targetting. Thanks for your inquiry. Good fishing!

[thundermistlures]

@tdawg598 ...thank you!

[tdawg598]

shiiiiiit oil spill gonna f up fishing

[thundermistlures]

@tdawg598 Let's all hope for the best! Thanks for your comment.

[thundermistlures]

@smoothcriminal997 Thanks for your feedback...we try to respond to every comment as soon as we can!

Thanks again and good fishing.

[thundermistlures]

@smoothcriminal997 You can give it a try, but the Viper Spoon is specifically designed to accommodate bait, so a regular spoon may not give you the same action, once you add bait.

The Viper spoon with it's multiple hook design and single strand titanium wire line, is the perfect combination.

Thanks for writing in and good fishing!

[thundermistlures]

@smoothcriminal997 All spoons will catch fish. With the Viper Spoon, you would have the option of putting bait on the hook harness which may help to entice a fish into striking. In this case, the shine, the action and the bait all play a roll. Thanks for your inquiry & good fishing!

[xxTommy2tonexx]

Dully Noted.... Any fish are fun to catch 3lbs to 120lbs. just to be out on the water with some freinds is a good times..

[thundermistlures]

@xxTommy2tonexx That's what it's all about. Thanks & good fishing!

[xxTommy2tonexx]

those are small black see bass!

[thundermistlures]

@xxTommy2tonexx Considering that the state record where Ivo was fishing was 8lbs for black sea bass, some of the fish that he caught were over 6 lbs. Thanks for your comment & good fishing!

[feboater]

hey guys i want to make a trip out to this location for my father. He loves this video and would like to know the exact location of this fishing ground. any info would be greatly appreciated thanks.

[thundermistlures]

@feboater Take your father to Buzzards Bay in Massachusetts and head over to Scorton's ledge.

The whole month of June should be dynamite! Fish in the 20 foot to 28 foot range and be sure to take some Viper Spoons and T-Turns with you if you plan on trolling or drifting. If you are going to jig, use the Boa Jig'r.

Thanks for tuning in - send our best to you father and good luck on the water!

[feboater]

hey guys i want to make a trip out to this location for my father. He loves this video and would like to know the exact location of this fishing ground. any info would be greatly appreciated thanks.

[Redsoxxx927]

What size viper spoon should i get?

[thundermistlures]

@Redsoxxx927 Sizes SP1, SP2, SP3 & SP4 will all work for sea bass, and we like to use the SP3 or SP4 for the bigger ones.

When rigged with a strip of squid, or an artificial worm, the sea bass seem to really attack the Viper Spoons. IF we had to pick one size, we would go with the SP3

Thanks for writing in and good luck on the water!

[stockedmuscle]

what is the best fishing pole, not for baitcasting, but for catching decent sized bass in rivers and lakes? i need a fishing pole for a large lake that is behind my house, and i know it is crawling with bass. i have caught a decent sized one, but i need a fishing pole that can go far and deep. shakespeare is good? or ugly stick?

[thundermistlures]

@stockedmuscle Try a 7foot Ugly Stick (spinning rod). This should work for you.

Thanks for your comment & good fishing!

[tdawg598]

@stockedmuscle try shimano

[fl4v0rfu11]

what was the date when this was recorded?

[thundermistlures]

It was 3 years ago in the first week of June. Thanks and good fishing!

[shcrimpsproductions]

Decent fish, hahaha they're beasts! Nice fishing

[thundermistlures]

@shcrimpsproductions Glad you enjoyed the video - we sure had a great day on the water & hope to make another trip this year!

Thanks for writing in & good fishing.

Good fishing.

[pdbhaq1]

Good luck on the water and good fishing!

[CKARGUE]

the guy with the camera talking is annoying as fuck shut the fuck up

[ts1771]

caught 18 keepers in less then 45min out in these waters today

[thundermistlures]

Sounds like some great fishing! Thanks for writing in and sharing and good luck on the water!

[Redsoxxx927]

@ts1771 Which charter boat would you recommend for sea bass fishing?

[MrGloomis]

Can you use these spoon in inlet areas for flounder and blues?

[thundermistlures]

Yes Viper spoons work excellent for flounder & blues. Check out our fishing tips site for tips on how to set- up the Viper Spoon for these fish. In short, for blues you may just flat line your Viper. For flounder, use a 3-way bottom drift method. Again, this imformation will be given on our site which will help you.

Thanks for asking & good fishing!

[cubanpyroman]

lol my dads got the same boat that you guys used a key west boats great but old

[thundermistlures]

They are good boats. Thanks & good fishing!

[thundermistlures]

Thanks again!

[LastPlace9]

man the ones that i catch at my cottage are minos compared to your..do u keep the bigger ones?

[thundermistlures]

We have caught toutog on SP1, SP2 & SP3 size Vipers (because of the smaller hooks). We baited the Vipers using clam or small artificial eels.

We have also caught them in sea bass zones where there was no structure around. Mind you, we caught them in early spring and they were probably migrating at that time. We did catch some nice ones. You're right about them taking your bait & heading for cover. Normally these fish like some kind of structure to hide in. Thanks for writing & good fishing!

[shadoofbaby2009]

well that makes sense if they had the clam or eels. i thought you guys were talking plain spoons. Tog will occasionally bite a minnow or something like that, but they usually stick to crustaceans.

[thundermistlures]

We were fishing in the USA in eh Cape Cod area (Buzzards Bay)

Thanks for writing in & good fishing.

[webmoss]

1:28... silly Canadien grabbing a seabass by the gill plates--Don't u know they have barbs? Buzzards Bay is an awesome place for Seabass.

[megaroost]

Nice black bass! Pretty good eating also!!

[thundermistlures]

glad you enjoyed the video - thanks for writing in & good luck on the water!

[aaah426]

suck my bass

[fwaandrew]

Would you mind giving me some tips on flounder fishing plz

[thundermistlures]

Glad to.TIP1 Drift from a boat(bring your bait to them-they wait for food).TIP2 Cut-bait(fish)or squid will outfish artificials.TIP3 Keep bait about12" off bottom.TIP4 Use lager baits.A proven lure for flounder is the Viper spoon which is ment to be used with bait.Try a 3-way set-up

(30"leader to viper,14" drop-line to sinker).

Bait Viper with whole squid or 12-14"long cut-bait strip.TIP5 Re-drift many times in productive zones.For more info&videos see Thundermist Fishing Tips. Good fishing!

[onelikeseabass]

I'm getting a kick out of the intro/outro music as Drum and Bass is what I DJ. Biggup sound crew!

[thundermistlures]

Glad you liked our music & video. Sounds like you have a great job as a DJ where you work at night, but can fish during the day!

Thanks for writing in & good luck on the water!

[theoregonguy]

You guys should come out to the west coast and try your lures out on some big lingcod. It seems like they might work well for some of our deep water rockfish too.

[thundermistlures]

We would love to come to the west coast & fish for ling cod, rockfish & halibut as well...and we most certainly will some day!

That would be an amazing trip for us & we know the Viper Spoons would work great for these species.

We are actually working on obtaining sponsors for our new, upcoming TV fishing show & should we do so, this would be one of the first trips on our calendar.

Thanks for writing in & we wish you all the best on the water & good fishin'!

[koonni]

i heard you guys talking about some kind of viper bait or somethang like that, can you please tell me what two baits were most effective?
