Thanks for the valuable information, great video 😊

[@SergioDiazFishing]

Thx bud, glad your found some useful info! 🤙

[@jjm4643]

Good to see some small stripers this year, hopefully a good year class, that if we protect, will lead to some bigger fish down the road!

[@SergioDiazFishing]

Amen!

Nice Video, with very mesmerizing views !! It's a relish to watch. You just got a new subscriber 👍

[@SergioDiazFishing]

Thanks for the kinds words! Long Island has some beautiful locations that make the fishing even better. Tight lines!

I had an amazing April and May here in CT. I had numerous days catching over 20 schoolies with light tackle hard plastic jerkbaits. They'd nail the lure on the pause. 2 slots were also caught. I had many "bass thumbs". Also landed a fat 37" from a boat after dark with a 4" slow sinking jerkbait. Light tackle schoolies are so much fun.

Thank you for the way you release, I try to do it the same way, aids to saving our fishery

[@SergioDiazFishing]

Yes sir, if we all do our part, we'll have more and bigger fish to catch and that would be awsome!

[@SurfSkagit]

Love it Sergio, you put some nice clip here, to the point, clear and definitely helpful to anyone. 👏👏

Nice video. Shooting style head line or true to weight line?

[@SergioDiazFishing]

Thank you sir, I'm using a Cortland compact intermediate line in this video. Hope that answers your question.

[@tahoe829]

Im wondering how comparable that line is to Sonar intermediate 3 to 5

[@andrewpadyk67]

I know this is almost a year old. Do you use a beach buggy access permit or do you walk into all the sites in this video? I Grew up on LI and want to visit family and fish while there. Thanks.

[@SergioDiazFishing]

Hello Andrew, I don't run my truck on the beach, all the spots on the video are accessible with a little walking, I park in from Jones to Montauk I park in public parking lots. Let me know next time you're in town and best of luck for the '23 season! 👍

[@alexciocca6898]

Sergio I am just getting into New England saltwater on the fly, last fall was my first time up in Rhode Island and I loved it. Your videos were very helpful when tying and fishing for albies, thank you. I'm having trouble with the stripers though, I'll be working a project in LI for the next couple months and want to try and find some while there. Do you have any tips on what kind of water to look for? In RI i typically fish jetties and breakwaters but there doesn't seem to be many in LI, I'd also like to try and do some flats fishing, do I need a boat for that? Thank you so much!

[@SergioDiazFishing]

Hi Alex, glad the videos helped you to get going. Long Island has lots of good spots for stripers on the fly. You want to look for beaches, south or north shore where bait fish gather, near inlets or back bays that hold fish. Because they migrate, you're better off stopping at on of the local tackle shops and talking to the folks there to see where the bite has been good. Let me know when you're here and maybe we'll meet up! Good luck!

[@alexciocca6898]

@@SergioDiazFishing Awesome thank you for the tips! I have a few spots from podcasts to try first so we'll see what happens. Next shift I'm up there is 16-29th so hopefully I can find some early season fish! Thanks again!

[@garycullin3791]

where are you when you say back bays eastern long island. absolutley beautiful. .

[@SergioDiazFishing]

Gary, I call the back bays anything between the barrier island (Fire Island) and the rest of long island. I like fishing the waters behind west and east of inlets from Jones to Shinnecock and they all have public access. If you haven't tried give them a shot!

[@eighttenk]

What size and type of leader are you using here with the clouser? I started using an intermediate line and similar technique to the one you used in a video you put up a few weeks ago fishing a back bay in some current and now im catching fish consistently.

[@SergioDiazFishing]

That's great! Glad you found the secret mojo for your water, in this video and most of the time I have a 9ft leader with probably 20lb and then tippet about 15lbs depending on what were fishing for. All fluorocarbon, best of luck!

[@new2guitar1]

What size hook those clousers ? 2 ? 1/0 ? 2/0 ? Thanks

[@SergioDiazFishing]

The hooks are size 1 and 1/0, they seem to work great for early season fish. Tight lines!

[@neilparry9511]

Hate to see you break that rod. We all do it, but try not to grab above the cork!

[@SergioDiazFishing]

Hi Neil, thank you for the advice! I’ll definitely keep that in mind but I am guilty of doing that. Tight lines 🤙
