*Overall **enjoyable.fishing** recommend I feel the Shadowfire 360 offers excellent value for those who are new to tenkara and don't want to break the bank on their first rod purchase.*

[@canadiangemstones7636]

Stripper on Tenkara is epic.

[@dubbadu]

Don’t forget the couple drops of Anise extract. Bob taught me that at the Tall Mike fundraiser blitz of 89

[@martuni1539]

You definitely didn't learn that at the Yom Kippur blitz of '99. . . BECAUSE I WAS THE ONLY ONE THERE!!!

[@maikp5505]

That was during the Tropicana blitz of 83! A polish guy named Irish Greg showed up with Jeff the Janitor carrying a box of Anise extract and a TV guide. I was there but I got my line cut while chunking a clam belly.

[@SRTKOVA]

@@maikp5505 are you absolutely sure ? Cuz that sounds more like the blitz of 1942 the blitzkrieg blitzkrieg where Hitler caught a 50 plus pounder

[@maikp5505]

@@SRTKOVA Oh shit you’re right man, and later we had the big blitz of 45 over at the pacific. Everyone walked out with a 50 plus except Hirohito, he skunked bad.

[@cb22boarder]

Best video on surf casting for stripes I've seen. Thanks!

[@user-kz9yq6ci6u]

As a west coast angler I had no clue you could catch striper on the east coast and then I found out that the ones here's ancestors were brought here from the east. Learn something new everyday.

[@FishYourWay]

[@FreshSpicy]

thanks Billy@!

[@msotolopez]

Would you recommend the Penn Warefare 20 star drag with a drag of 15lbs sufficient for fishing strippers?

[@rskrks]

Billy knows wtf he is doing, one man one rod operation. People laugh at me when I crank the reel a couple times to move the chunk after it sits for a big, I tell em I'm putting a new presentation on the plate. THAT SHIT WORKS. when u know the fish is there and u didn't get a bite for 15 minutes move it a couple feet.

[@TNRVG]

Any idea why pound braid he is using?

[@fmart3617]

Very good video

[@davidpaul9705]

Great tip putting a swivel on the slider never thought of that

[@thecharreddog4707]

Are all your videos in Long Island?

[@oilrigdeepseadiver8254]

Hey im curious but what kind of reeling rods do you use? Heavy duty sea type?

[@qhabnablaijtaus4243]

What is this rod

[@backcountrypipe]

Great video. What size hooks would you recommend for a bait setup like that?

[@rskrks]

backcountrypipe 7-10

[@marcellusposeyjr7516]

SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL ME WHAT MONTH!!

[@AR-zf7wu]

Is that island beach state park in NJ

[@cesarlevano9391]

Were this place at

[@dtkrob]

What type of slider is that ?

[@Ca.ctsv2]

What type of rod is that?what size lead

[@colleencook1432]

I just seen ur frist video and I like it

[@ChrisWrightDVM]

What hooks are these? I use the Gami octopus 8/0 and 9/0 for the chunks... but... I'd like them shorter shank, wider gap... which mustad makes some like that, but they are the brown non-chemically sharpened ones... those hooks look nice... which are they???

[@shanemcdade2129]

Yeah, me too. Can't seem to find ones like that, short shank-wide gap.

[@alexandrosachilleas7162]

I was striper surf fishing of a beach in Maine with baitrunner. I used clam and squid on circle hooks. I was getting big bites but could not catch anything. When that reel was on ( the second light drag.....aka the baitrunner)...for a second or three...they would spit it out the minute I reeled or yanked the rod. Rod is a 10-11 foot Tsunami. Reel is a Shimano baitrunner 4500. I dont know what I was doing wrong but it just didn't work...lost allot of fish...also a very big one...that I had on rod fighting for 1 minute then lost it. Is it the knot on the hook or the size of hook ( #3/0 to 4/0? The rod? Can you please help me....or explain what im doing wrong.🙏? I love to fish with baitrunner for allot of species...i just want it to work for stripers. Thanks

[@cannabass5729]

Could I please have a recommendation on beaches that can produce stripers on Cape cod I'm here for a couple more days on vacation in have been skunked so far

[@scubasteve7303]

For that, you can thank the 100k seals who call Cape Cod home.

[@jacobmaier3292]

sick!

[@sleepy_bear4164]

Very helpful video🖒 I wanted to ask where can I buy the weight swivel I look at many places like Dick's Sporting Goods at my local bait and tackle shop but no luck

[@lueypost6794]

it looks like he attached the swivel with a small split ring. so just get a bag of swivels a pack of fish finders and a back of small split rings and make your own

[@soloshooter2235]

Great great job half

[@jacintofelixbermeoluzcando6059]

HOLA AMIGO QUE CAÑA ES

[@thecharreddog4707]

I wish he would have went further into his whole set up. What size braid, rod and reel

[@Fitnes942]

[@antoniovalencia1128]

Where is were you fish and when is a good time to start fishing for striper

Nice 👍

[@telosfd]

What kind of fishes are these?

[@hookdup1927]

He’s gotta learn the recipe for chunking 💪🏼

[@nrabines]

Great video ,, do u know if I would I be allowed to fish on the beach at Coney Island or Rockaway beach ,, or will the cops ticket me or chase me away , thank you .

[@martuni1539]

Coney island is fine when the lifeguards are not stationed

[@scubasteve2530]

Those the cape cod dunes?

[@James-qt9dj]

Long Island

[@jammin1881]

Nice video! I always end up back on the clams or the bunker . Throwing lures gets thin (and personally) never caught anything big on a plug. My best was to a bunker chunk and a live eel.

[@nycyabber7103]

I use bunker chunks in nyc and catch monsters every time I go out. Never had that experience with lures. I tell my friends all the time that I’d rather trek an extra hour to buy cooler full of bunker than to show up earlier with a lure. I’ll catch more fish every time :). Cheers!

[@jammin1881]

NYCYABBER710 I’m in Brooklyn and fishing breezy point and sometimes Rockaway. Where are you landing them? I have only had blues so far this season (well and the corona virus was the biggest and most fucked yo catch)

[@nycyabber7103]

DarkbyDesign I’m catching them in Canarsie and bay ridge by the Verrazano. I also fish overnight exclusively pretty much.

[@jammin1881]

NYCYABBER710 I’m so bored right now and trying to shake this virus. I need to get out more and haven’t been fishing more than a few times this whole year. Any particular spots you can recommend?

[@nycyabber7103]

DarkbyDesign Canarsie pier is great fishing most of the time. When I can’t get out there I walk up the path from the belt parkway and cast anywhere I think is decent. If you pick belt parkway you’ll usually see guys clumped up and that’ll mean fish is there. Those dudes fish to eat so they know the area pretty well. If you fish by them they won’t say anything but it never hurts to offer them your fish if you catch a legal :)

[@LouBalestriere]

Sorry for the dumb question, but why do fishermen put heavy tape on their fingers?

[@marcuslee5816]

Actually it's because of the weight of the bait and tackle. Before he casts he's holding onto the line with his index finger. But he's using really heavy bait and tackle which will be dragging on that line. If it slips it'll cut his finger.

[@BrianGreeneRAD]

So the braided line doesn't slice your finger. You can either use duct tape or buy a finger shield made of kevlar.

[@amigochino1]

What is on his index finger?

[@marcellusposeyjr7516]

WHERE ARE THE STRIPERBASS BIG ONES GOING TO COME TO ATLANTIC CITY BEACHES??

[@Ortzdav5]

what rod blank is this he is using?

[@aljay02]

L00zCan0n5

[@jgray1651]

Haha BILLLLLYYY YOUR THE MAN!

[@rabbitskinner]

do they take line like tropical fish?

[@TralfazConstruction]

Typically, no, in my experience. If they turn parallel to the beach and run with any kind of beach current then perhaps. It's not fun to cross lines with others working their own bass toward the beach. 95 out 100 times a bass making a 'run for the border' (even straight out to sea) is unusual.

[@tnycaps8]

LMFAO "dont every every listen to Billy Joel before you fish. you will definitely not catch fish". LMFAO totally insane and i love it.

[@stephenobrien6248]

Excellent tips for us Bait Hurlers. It would nice to find out the reel, rod & braid size? Bill did mention the 100# mono leader. But I didn't pickup any other tackle details. Looks like some kind of live liner reel, obviously. Penn Fierce II Live Liners are now available as an affordable live liner choice; 6000 & up models for medium to heavier option. Pair it up with a 9' - 11' Lami. or Tsunami with 30+lb. braid, 3 way swivel, 2-4 oz weight. And you'll have a decent or setup. Plus save a few bucks for those pogies! Tight lines in Fall '15 for all you surf-dogs out there! Cheers...I've got to sign up to get these past episodes.

[@stephenobrien6248]

+Stephen O'Brien Typo...... meant to say decent or similar setup. If there are any other specifics on Bill's setup please let me know. Also feel free to reply with any good rod options or something similar to Bill's. Thanks )

[@jbonebonebone]

Looks like a shimano 6000 bait runner

[@rmp608]

+Stephen O'Brien At about 3:35..Shimano Thunnus 1200D

[@rmp608]

+rmp608 The storm sinkers cast and hold bottom the best...Only type I use!

[@madduxwalters8037]

+Stephen O'Brien the reel was a fin-nor baitrunner

wow

[@mdharunrashid9165]

Can you please tell me the Location of fishing spot ? I wish to go there to catch a fish.

[@AR-zf7wu]

Looks like island beach state park in NJ

[@NYSeaNile]

This is why I always chunk and throw lures and always bring two rods

[@riflemanjim]

what kind of weight is that

[@NCSRFSH]

***** It's called a storm sinker. Can be better for casting but not quite as good as a pyramid for holding.

[@riflemanjim]

Thank you, I've never seen one around here.

[@NCSRFSH]

***** I have a couple storm sinker molds. We fish Hatteras. Most commonly used sinker there is a pyramid. My buddies believe the pyramid holds better. I personally don't think there's much difference. When I provide them for free they don't care. Mr. Fischer is using a standard drum rig ( fish finder). I do like his idea of using the swivel on the sinker. Never noticed anyone doing that in NC.

[@zaydshah94]

With a short leader, wouldn't the fish not see the bait. That is my biggest problem. I have always used a short leader, but never caught stripers Plz help!!!

[@joecollins8520]

+Zaid Shah top and bottom rig I use

[@arianmiloti550]

+Zayd Shah short leader keep distance from bait to the rig weight, that's help yu to cast far cause less rezistence on air! you have to go where stripers are and you gona se they no make difference betwee long or short leader

[@zaydshah8248]

+arian miloti would the bait stay in the strike zone?? the bait would be on the bottom, and no fish would see it. Stripers aren't bottom feeders, so....

[@arianmiloti550]

+Zayd Shah stripers are BOTTOM FEEDERS ! during attack against bunkers usually bluefishes get bunkers and choop them up,,the others pieces and left overs drop on bottom of water where stripers take care

[@arianmiloti550]

+Zayd Shah to get a stripes is same like get others fishes, nothing special skill required,just watch others how they do

nice shtuff.

[@randylal7841]

That's what's up billy you remind me of my self at my striped bass stopping grounds, like you I'm well known to have limits daily and also known to not GAF tight lines my brother

[@thomastuorto9929]

the reel is a Shimano bait caster.( probably a 6000 ) The lever on the bottom back flip-up puts it in bait mode, it has a very light drag to it(adjustable knob on the bottom). so the fish has time to run with the bait without feeling any drag.

[@stevedreiling5517]

remimds me of archie bunker

You aren’t a real fisherman if u don’t have a duct taped finger
