Boatless Angler - Top Water Striper Tips

No boat? No problem! We're boatless today fishing top water on the saltwater shores looking for those striped bass.
The set up 20 lb Thunderbraid, with a 20 lb Thundercarbon leader. a single snap, and a top water lure. We're using a normal rod, though a surfcasting rod would be better as it would let us cast further out.
Today's technique is pretty simple. We're casting out as far as we can, and reeling in the top water lure as fast as we can. We don't want the striper to take a good look at the lure. But instead, want them to see the fast-paced action, drawing them into a bite.

wow Antonio's lure it's one of the best I have seen in a long time... not in a sarcastic way but in a serious way to have a lure so damaged it's because it has been a really good lure and have landed hundreds of fish... thumbs up on that.... Well not always it's the luck of landing a keeper but it's fun as any other fishing to do.... nice tip about the crank bait to follow fast after they miss the top one. I remember in a episode you mentioned but with a tube for smallmouth bass... you know you are bless Ivo by having a great fishing buddy as Antonio.... not everyone can enjoy that... thanks for a great episode boss. Greetings to your family chief...

[@thundermistlures]

Nice video Evo. I feel better after seeing this video. Knowing that even the most seasoned veteran angler - Evo can also get skunked at times. BTW is like your T-turn swivel, it woks great!

[@thundermistlures]

[@tyrelllovitt4234]

Nice Video

[@edwinibarra1723]

hey guys good job on the videos you guys make, I like watching your channel and I always pick up a thing or two on all the videos that I watch. I have a question for Antonio, what is the name of his lure and who makes it???

[@thundermistlures]

+Edwin Ibarra ...he can't remember the name, but thinks it was a Luhr Jensen lure....it's an old one as you can tell :)

[@videobreakthru]

thumbs up ~ does this work on fresh water stripers as well? and where is best spots in a lake to catch them on top water ? thanks for making the video!!!!

[@thundermistlures]

+videobreakthru Thanks for the thumbs up and so glad you enjoyed this striper episode. You can use these techniques on fresh water stripers as well. When fishing for stripers in a lake, from shore, look for a point of land, that jets out into the lake and fish either side of that point - also, if you have a rocky area, be sure to fish there as well - good luck on the water :)

[@170bcuda]

A yellow pencil popper works extremely well off the beach in the northeast.

[@thundermistlures]

+170bcuda Thanks for the tip :)

[@rikvandemeulenhof5545]

Its a new fish for me.. Special fish! In Europe we haven't stripers..

[@thundermistlures]

+Rik van de Meulenhof They are so much fun to catch and hopefully someday, you'll be able to try for them somewhere....great to hear from you in Europe and thanks for writing in :)

[@megasif]

+Rik van de Meulenhof Stripers are awesome fishing. If you've never done it, book a trip the USA. Trust me.

[@6koko3]

+Rik van de Meulenhof: We have saltwaterbass species in Europe, at least in Mediterranean sea, but they are smaller than american stripped bass and more rare.

[@everetbowles5533]

a very slow retrieve can be best a lot of the time

[@pescaconchuchin4277]

nice vidio

[@thundermistlures]

+America_Carp Glad you enjoyed this striper episode and thanks for writing in :)

[@pescaconchuchin4277]

***** greetings nothingsubscribe

[@777AndrewR]

Which type of hard baits are you using to catch the stripers?

[@thundermistlures]

+Andrew Reichel Hi Andrew....I believe the shallow crank bait was a Yo-Zuri and PS> Thundermist Lures will be releasing their new line of crank baits soon...they have actually arrived but the webmaster will need some time to get them on line :)

[@6koko3]

Antonio is always lucky :-)

[@thundermistlures]

+6koko3 ...he sure is :)

[@dodobirdiesSeveringVoid]

Where do you guys live? Seen you guys go around Niagra/lake eries a lot.

[@thundermistlures]

+SeveringVoid We do spend a lot of time in Ontario as that is our home base :)

[@thomasjtn4232]

spoons work best, cast em far as you can and let them flutter to the bottom- then reel them in as fast as you can.

[@thundermistlures]

+Thomas JTN Thanks for the tips.....I guess we should have brought some Python Darters with us :)

[@visualkeirockstar]

will this work for a river?

[@thundermistlures]

+visualkeirockstar ....yes it will :)

[@jeffthegoose2455]

I ordered 2 buck tail Jigs!

[@thundermistlures]

+FishingForFish Bucktails work great for Stripers and the Flexi Jig, Bucktail model, as fantastic as they provide an excellent hook-set :) good luck this Fall

[@jeffthegoose2455]

+Thundermist Lures I fish in Winnipeg -_-

[@thundermistlures]

+FishingForFish Great to hear from you in Winnipeg - great fishing there :)

[@LilChichi29]

What size lures were they.

[@thundermistlures]

+LilChichi29 they were about 4 - 5 inches :)

[@anthonyg1350]

Go fish in black lake ny and catch big bass

[@yaochingsaeteurn6941]

you have a website?

[@thundermistlures]

yes....it is www.thundermistlures.com

[@williamharris732]

I have the same shoes as Antonio

[@thundermistlures]

+William Harris Nice :)

[@megasif]

Good technique. However, if you go slow, you will catch them fish, esp. if you do a stop and go retrieve. It's a myth that stripers will be able to tell what lures you're using. I've caught them on virtually all of my lures w/ slow presentation. Sometimes a slow retrieve is best. Stripers are not picky like bass. Next, time do what I say and you will land more fish. This is esp. true if you have a very good topwater. They will not let go or give up chase if you find the money bait. Trust me. When I have money, I will show you some killer YT videos. By the end of this month, I think they are ready.

[@thundermistlures]

+megasif thanks for writing in megasif and good luck this fall :)

[@realhardballify]

little schoolies become big inhalers

[@thundermistlures]

+Trouta Holic Very true...and that's when the fun turns up a notch :)

[@bhatnagarsagars]

i got scared.. casting so close to each other . relle scared of fishing complications.

[@thundermistlures]

+Sagar Bhatnagar Thanks for the feedback Sagar & good luck on the water :)

[@tbone198786]

I'm a subscriber and like most of your videos but not this one. I disagree with this way of fishing. You don't have to real that fast, thinking it will work better because it wont. Ya maybe small ones but thats it. Stripers are very opportunistic any way. It won't give them a chance to look at the bait? So your hoping for a reaction strike. Terrible interpretation and terrible way of teaching. Like I said only my opinion.

[@thundermistlures]

+tbone198786 Always great to hear from our subscribers and thanks for taking time to write in to us and sharing your opinion :) Hope you are able to get out there and enjoy some great Fall fishing

[@colsons36]
