Striper fishing in Cape Cod '08

This is a video of our little Striped Bass fishing adventure in the fall of '08. We've been going for the last few years without much success but this time we caught some nice ones. The weather was perfect till the a hurricane showed up... but that didn't stop us from catching Stripers! Not only was the fishing great, but we ate like kings... a 9 pound lobster, 3 pound porterhouse steaks, fresh Striper sashimi (real fishermen eat it raw!) and a visit to one of our favorite Wellfleet restaurants who serves the best lobster chowda, steamers and oysters in the world. I stayed an extra day and kayaked around the bay one evening and got into a bluefish blitz that lasted over 3 hours (all by myself!). Of course I forgot my camera.

Awesome! I started to think this video was corny but then quickly corrected myself . This is one special video - totally rocked me spiritually.

@jstassis hey... thanks for that, I'm glad that it was a blessing to you. It's a special place up there in Cape Cod. I've been out on a kayak less that 30 feet away from a baby hump back whale and had huge sunfish swim under me for almost a half an hour. I've been out in the water in a kayak during a hurricane and been in the middle of huge blitzes with no one else in sight. Very special blessings from God!

Great vid,What were you using for bait for the stripers? thanks

[humbldsrvnt]

@iceraider97 Thanks iceraider... believe it or not we were using plastic sluggos (sand eel color). We use fresh sand eels sometimes but the crabs (or something) eat them up so we use an imitation sand eel as BAIT that actually catches big stripers (blows my mind). I caught a 42" off my kayak the next year on a 4" Grabbers Minnow. Took me 10 minutes just to get it close enough to see it.

@humbldsrvnt Wow,thats great,a 42 incher off your kayak,with a 4 inch minnow. Im coming up to Cape cod this month and was hoping to due some fishing.

@iceraider97 I hear there's still some blues being taken off the beaches and stripers are being taken at night on plugs. The beginning of October is usually a good time to catch fish up there. You might need to sling some metal lures if the wind gets blowin'. I like the Crippled Minnows and Kastmasters with a bucktail myself... 2-4 oz. depending on the wind. But if they're right up on the beaches you can get 'em on bombers and poppers!
