Hello all,
I am new to the striper fishing world or actually I have never really fished for striper and was wondering what kind of rod and reel setups are good. Also any other information that I may need to know about striper fishing that would be useful in learning. I have recently joined and look forward to the magazine to get alot of the information that I am looking for but until I get the first issue I'm not able get started. Thanks in advance for the information.

Bobby

I replied to the guy. and Im sure He appreciated the direction.

anyway
This was the post I referred to, I wont do it again. But I thought it was an acceptable way of site promotion apparently I was wrong and I apologise if I offended anyone.

I see others post links to their sites. I guess the difference is that I didnt get permission.

Anyway John R thanks for the encouragement and advice, I will learn the Php an Mysql and put up a decent board.



Go Mets.!!!!


They'll get closer to the world series than Boston will even though they have the strongest team since Ted Williams and Bobby Doerr days.

When your goin through hell, keep goin.

I spent most of my life close to the new york harbor in Staten Island, New York, more precisely. Im strictly a surf fishermen although in my favorite spot there is Not much surf. On occasion Ill go out on a charter or on one of my Brothers' boats or one of my buddies boats. Summertime is chocked full of slammer blues and fluke, blackfish, sea bass and porgy.

The Verrazanno narrows Bridge is within 5 miles of my favorite spots. Ambrose channell and the New York bight is well known by the Sandy Hook Connecticut and Long Island guys. The party boats like the Raritan Bay. That's east of the VZ bridge.

My location is on the Staten island side west of the bridge. There is an old army base nearby Fort Wadsworth.
Anyway it is about 125 yards (at low tide into the channel) a slope of about 25 feet of water then a sudden drop to 45 feet. Down there is where the big guys lurk. (An army corps diver told me they hang around the pipes at the bottom of the channell). He was diving down ther when they installed a bulkhead a few years back. He said MONSTERS... It was something I already had known for years, Other guys dont like to fish there because they get hung up on the rocks and its a treacherous walk down there if your not careful. This channel starts at the mouth of the Hudson river where there is an indigenous population of Striped Bass. They cruise in and out of the Hudson through this channel.

I usually use 20 lb ande or big game trilene, with 3 feet leader of mono (or flouro) tied to a good ball bearing barrell swivel. I use a plastic fishfinder that slides up the line much like an egg sinker would. Sometimes Ill tie on 9 feet of shock leader for distance cast. But at high tide they come close to the shore in search of bait. I use a 3 to 4 ounce bank sinker so as not to get hung up in the rocks with an 8/0 gamakatsu Hook. For bait I use a fresh piece of cut bunker. and I wear gloves when I handle the bait. I usually use bunker heads because a bass will slap a bait fish with their tail to stun it and then take them head first. Blue fish go for the tail. If I can snag bunker when they boil Ill use the whole bubker. I cant wait. The fish in this channel are usually upwards of 30 lbs. Some in the fourties and occasional 50. An old tackle shop owners wife pulled in a 64 pounder in shore about 15 years ago off their boat. Dozens and dozens in the 20's. Schoolies run in the spring. They are fun plug on top water. If i use sand worms I have to hold the pole. Eels work well but not as great as the bunker does in my spot. When the barometric pressure starts to fall I get in my car and drive the 80 miles to the same spot. ( I have since moved to the Pocono mountains.I dont go to the rockaways or the Hamptons I go right to my spot near the Hudson.)


Enjoy the stripers this year and have fun. Take pictures.

I fish from the surf as you probably already figured out. A good 85% of my fishing is done down Cape Cod on the backside from Eastham all the way down to the Race. I got a 1985 Jeep CJ-7 all rigged to get me where I want to go as fast as I can get there with the 318 Chrysler under the hood, and "BIGFSH" Mass State Plates. Not a big chunker, usually save that for slow July or early August days when I am just kicking back in the heat saving my best for after dark when me and my buddies toss eels to bag our big girls. I throw alot of plugs, mostly topwater and needlefish, just starting to throw more divers and swimmers this past year. I need alot of practice with those but I got the time and desire. The other 15% of my fishing is done local, Hull, Scituate (Humarock), Weymouth....much of this area is very rocky, makes for slightly different fishing than the sand covered bottom down the Cape and I love it as much as the cows do! But down the Cape is where I feel the most comfortable. There is another thread up here about a positive attitude when you go fishing.....well its down the backside I always feel like I am most comfortable. I got friends that own some rental property down Wellfleet and I rent a house there from them for two weeks in June and then in the fall, after Labor Day, I got the run of the place which is great.

I take many pictures, of just about everything we catch. I think having great pictures is about better than a mount....almost! I have not yet photographed myself with a fish over 40 yet and I don't have a mount yet, so hopefully I can do both at the same time this season.

Tight lines 247!

im going to have to try and catch me one of them striper fish . I fish for large bass mouthed . I always use rubbers and small rods . but I think thats the way its supposed to be .

[stripers247]

Striped bass on small tackle is great fun, but these huge buggers will spool ya. or break off. Ive had them bend my swivels. I dont ever use snaps cause theyll bend em open.

[BigFish]

I think ChrisL is yankin our chain a little 247, the winter is getting us all pretty wound up I think you will agree.

[chris L]

I dont know anything about fishing for strpers . Im just here to killl time at work . I do like mouth buckets .
