Surf Fishing Striped Bass in Montauk NY part 2

Fishing for striped bass in Montauk Long Island from The Fishing Line TV show using pencil poppers. We fished all over that day but most of it was Turtle Cove and south to Camp Hero and the Sewer Pipe...you should buy the 2 part DVD we did that day with aerial views of all the beaches with their names, what beaches to be on what tides etc...this is an awesome video! see more at www.thefishingline.com

The sad thing is your right. I've been fishing 710, 704, and 706 for years in the surf. It wasn't until last season when I finally bought a VS250. The only thing I couldn't stand about the Penn reels was the "coffee grinder" noise when sand got in the reel. Other than that I still use em, even now that I got a VS. But I see your using a Greenie..if you look at your set up it looks like something from the 70's compared to everyone now a days. No offense intended.

@sigley0527 no problem..the grinder noise doesn;t botehr me as I used ot use Crack 300's in the old old days..that is a 70's greenie and al my other 704's are form the 80's and 90's

I guess RJ can't afford a Van Staal. LOL

@sigley0527 not these days LOL...Who needs them or the Zbass...I can see if you're swimming to rocks and submerging your reel al day...but the 704 & 706 was good enough when giant fish every where years ago so I guess they're good enough for me....if folks want them and can afford them God bless you and have fun with them they are great reels..

@dandan832

Use heavy mono for topwater if you want to get striped bass, use wire if you like catching blues all day because the striped bass are leader shy

@MAMAKICKSASSS

Then you would know not to release the fish you "Native Americans"

[dandan832]

Hey, one question, if im fishing blues and stripers on topwater poppers, should i use a steel leader(i dont have access to heavy mono, only 20lb mono, 40lb braid and some steel leaders)
