San Leandro Fishing Stripers

[@omarsalli821]

Dang is stiper fishing, just finding the school? Or can I go to this spot and factcheck striper. Also what swim baits are you using, and what size is your kastmaster

[@AndreMull]

Its fun to find the school so you can catch a bunch while they are there. Swimbaits i use all kinds keitechs work good. kastmaster 3/4 or 1oz mostly.

[@omarsalli821]

Bro sorry to bother but what kind pole is this I’m trying to buy your exact setup lol

[@AndreMull]

Hey here I was using a Daiwa Fuego with a 8'6 fenwick HMX. I no longer use the fuego but use the same rod sometimes.

[@tjsil99]

Great fishing! Used to fish this area back in the 60's and 70's, never any stripers (big leopards and rays) - looks like things have changed. Water clarity is much improved. Seemed like you caught a big school or two. Used to get my bass in San Leandro bay at the mouth of San Leandro Creek - some really big one's used to move through there.

[@AndreMull]

Thanks for the info. I believe they are still going through there.

[@cacacaca183]

You’re talking about by the green bridge ? Yea they still run thru there

[@tjsil99]

@@cacacaca183 Way back in the 60's and 70's. Wasn't a park back then (no bridge) and we would fish in the middle of the night. Saw a few 40 pounders out of there. I lost one once plugging that felt like I hooked onto a boat. It broke water and snapped my line. Still remember the sound the splash made. Good times. Live in Illinois these days.

I used to hang out at the San Leandro Marina a lot, catching mudsuckers underneath the Blue Dolphin restaurant in the daytime, and then use them at night in the Alameda/Oakland estuary for big stripers. I also used to catch seagulls on the lawns near the picnic tables, with my Goshawk. Things I used to do in the seventies. 😎👍

[@AndreMull]

Great idea. mudsuckers great bait!

[@marchatescheese]

I totally fished under the blue dolphin in the late 70s too. Lol awesome childhood memories

[@HuyNguyen-lu3zj]

What month was this? I know stripers are in the Bay year round but what are the best months? Spring and fall months? Great video!

[@AndreMull]

This was in September 2022. But yes in the bay spring and fall are really good for striper. They are roaming around right now. Dies down after November.

[@PhillipSiddiq]

Love the sound of that drag! New subscriber!

[@AndreMull]

Thanks for the sub!

[@HuyNguyen-lu3zj]

Yeah, good call. The sweet sound of peeling drag and the sight of the rod bend.🥲

[@FishingTime_LetsGo]

Nice action right there my man, must of been a blast👍👊🎣

[@ctgilcrest]

stripers still in the bay? I quit fishing the red tide too, Vallejo / Benicia area. water looks better now. the fish roll through here fast on the way to the delta. I hope I haven't missed them.

[@AndreMull]

You haven't missed them. Still a lot around.

[@richs4878]

Nice hook ups. Nice catches. Good day. Love the Fuego reel. We got one too. Marc sent me here. 😊 I’m Mimi FishFish’s dad.

[@tons_of_fishing408]

that was dope man damn near every cast you was hooking up. got a new sub here bro. FishOn 🎣

[@AndreMull]

Thanks a lot! much appreciated

[@xxXTremeBoarderxx]

Where exactly is this spot?

[@AndreMull]

san leandro by the marina

[@dogsense3773]

When the red tide was in the bay area the last three weeks I stopped fishing for bass,I saw over 50 dead bass in the bay,I don't eat them but next week will be fishing for them again

[@minhchu15]

I've always wanted to try lure fishing in salt water but never knew the setup. Do you use a medium weight rod with like 15lb test and a spoon? What weight spoon?

[@AndreMull]

usually 20lb braid with a 20 lb leader. Rod is medium heavy. 1oz spoon usually

[@MalikWong]

you just only use lure? what is it?

[@AndreMull]

I use bait sometimes. Here I use kastmaster swimbaits and jerkbait. The striper will bite them all. Kastmaster for distance if the fish are out far and cover more water, swimbaits seem to usually always work and the jerkbaits are fun and sometimes I feel like the get bigger fish.

[@aianofreneo4859]

That was awesome bro! slaying them. mind if I ask what lure that was

[@AndreMull]

Thanks! Which one? I was using a few different ones kastmaster, swimbait or lucky craft jerk bait.

[@theoldsurffisher1943]

@@AndreMull What size kastmaster? With white bucktail?

[@paulsfishingadventures9266]

Hey can you teach me how to fish for them and catch them there iv never caught one

[@AndreMull]

The biggest thing is just finding them. I will probably be out more in this area for striper around march april. The bite will pick up.

[@paulsfishingadventures9266]

Oh ok do you think we can schedule a trip iv never caught one before

[@paulsfishingadventures9266]

Which part of the marina is this

[@AndreMull]

I keep moving by the workout area, the bridge, walking the shoreline.

[@YoungNaija]

I thought they shut the marina down or is it just the pier

[@mannybasquez5934]

Just wondering what time was it in the morning or in the afternoon

[@AndreMull]

morning

[@reel6504]

Great Video brotha, new sub! Look forward to more content!

[@AndreMull]

Thanks! Appreciate it!

[@rogercenteno2423]

Dam it Dre killing it

[@theoldsurffisher1943]

Wow! Lots of action. Do you fish certain tides?

[@AndreMull]

usually 2 hours before and after high tide. But right now they seem to be in and out of all the tides

[@theoldsurffisher1943]

@@AndreMull I'm 79 years old so will try high tides so I don't have to deal with many rocks. Is that rattle trap you lure of choice?

[@ed68cougnut]

✊🏾💯 Great video!!! Question, are you running straight braid? Or do you use a leader line? Also, I'm trying to learn the Kastmaster, do you use a swivel to a split ring to avoid line twists? Thanks, subscribed.

[@AndreMull]

I use a leader line p line. I use only a clip and usually dont have the split ring.

[@fresh2294]

that is berkely lighting rod？

[@AndreMull]

No its actually a Fenwick

[@neilbayfishing2826]

Bro is this by the work out area?

[@AndreMull]
