CRAZY top water BLITZ at the CAPE COD CANAL!!! BIG Striped Bass KILL POGY!!!

[@markgosselin]

It’s a beautiful thing when you see blitzes like that. Great catches and great releases!!!

[@TroutSpankins]

Thank you Mark!!! Unfortunately it’s become less and less common every year😔 This year has been the worst,since I moved back to Massachusetts.Hopefully it picks up soon👍🎣

[@outinthenortheast2728]

I heavily appreciate good releases, HEAVILY! gotta love a guy that cares for his fish

[@TroutSpankins]

Thank you Eric!!! I try to be as careful as possible,with the ones that go back👍🎣

[@scottasellitto7184]

Really enjoy and appreciate your videos. Heading up to the Canal at the end of the month.

[@ryanmurdock02]

Nice work was happy to see some guys actually getting bass out of all the bunker that got washed up for those few days

[@TroutSpankins]

Thanks guys!!! Sometimes the bite can be tough with all that bait around!!! The guys next to the bridge were killing it that day though!!!🎣

[@newenglandoutdoorlore]

Great video! You hit it at the right time. I've fished the canal on and off the past 30 years and there's nothing like it when the stripers are blitzing. I was there in 2017 and it was insane. Getting them on mack and topwater plugs. My favorite way to fish for them. You did well this day. Congrats! I'll be heading there late August early September 2022. Best of luck!

[@Snap-Time]

Those were some really nice fish! Love seeing those big ones in the canal.

[@TroutSpankins]

Thank you Nick!!! It was definitely a nice surprise,considering how bad Ive done there this year.Been 2 weeks since the blitz,and I haven’t got a bite😔

[@williamsocha]

Ha Ha! When I heard you say, "Get the lettuce off"! My fishing buddies down here in R.I. call it "salad" !!!

[@SeaBassOutdoors7]

What an amazing video man! The whole time I was watching this I was rooting for you to catch one. I yelled hell yeah when you finally landed that first one 😂. Those fish were really teasing you.

[@TroutSpankins]

Haaaaa!!!! Thanks man!!! I’m stubborn when it comes to top water...The guys by the bridge were yelling PUT ON A MAGIC SWIMMER.I was just like NAHHHHH TOP WATER🤣🤣🤣Thanks for watching,and rooting for me!!!🎣

Nice job. is really exciting when it happens is in it. hasn't happened to me in years I'm too old to work the rocks on the canal anymore nice job

[@TroutSpankins]

Thank you!!! It was definitely exciting!!! I can’t even fish it as much as I used to...I used to fish the canal every day,for hours.Now I do a lot more freshwater👍🎣

[@williamwalsh6282]

Can’t believe I can say I got more fish thAn you.,lol…I’ve been blessed, though I was there that day but left before the blitz 🥲 but I’ve have 3 fish 40+ and several others over slot size… could watch this all day … tight lines bro

[@TroutSpankins]

Haaaaa! Why not??? I can believe it lol. Good to see some bigger fish finally pushing through!!! Tight lines!!!💪🎣

Simply amazing friend. God i wish I was there that day. I miss it yet again lol...but he'll yah brother you deserve it. Hard work has paid off. Good video. Tight lines

[@TroutSpankins]

Thank you Paul!!! It’s been such a weird year dude.Ive been back the last 2 weeks every day, and haven’t got a bite.I finally went bass fishing today,cuz I couldn’t take the skunk🤣🤣🤣Hopefully it picks up with the new moon,but the way things have been going,who knows.Let me know when you out this way again brotha!!! Tight lines!!!🎣

[@mztd912]

Man I live for days like those. But it never happens when I'm there. Only when I've already left or the day before I got there. Every damn time. I've fished over 20 yrs across the east coast chasing stripers and I can count days like that on one hand. Topwater blitzes with big fish are hard to come by. Many times they're just undersized schoolies just thrashing bait. You were very lucky. And I can't believe no one else was fishing. Unbelievable.

[@don1hungwizard55]

Dude fished it last week Friday all the way to Monday it was awesome! Good video bud maybe I’ll see you down at the canal

[@TroutSpankins]

Nice!!! That little mackerel blitz was pretty cool!!! Thanks for watching,if you do see me,give me shout! 👍🎣

[@paulyludovici]

great day for you man nice solid fish I wish the canal would pop off like it did a few years back !!

[@TroutSpankins]

Thank you!!! Same here,definitely isn’t the way it used to be.Seems like most fish are going around the last 2 years.

@@TroutSpankins I agree last year and year before was a dud ! 2017 was really good

[@larrylittlefield7357]

Same this morning, everyone was catching. Huge fish smashing the surface and chasing bait into shore line. SP Minnow worked for my slot keeper.

[@TroutSpankins]

That’s awesome!!! Caught my first canal bass on an SP minnow,in the green mack!!!👍🎣

[@gkhin1990]

Rod specs?

[@Ratfink820]

The canals been getting progressively slower year after year. You think it's getting too pressured?

[@TroutSpankins]

Definitely...Could be part of the problem.This has been the slowest year since 2017,for me.

[@TroutSpankins]

I also think more fish went around the canal the last 2 years.Boats and beaches were more productive,than the canal for me.

[@Ratfink820]

@@TroutSpankins Yeah the few times I've been the guys that have been fishing the canal for decades have said it's been really hit or miss the past 5 years or so getting worse every year as well. Going by videos on KZbin from boats on the cape I'd say you are indeed correct on that the bass have been going around the canal. Im located more in the south, my fiance and her family are from up there and everytime we visit I try to fish the canal, I've only ever caught one, but Ive fallen in love with that canal man, If I lived up there on the cape I'd be a bum that did nothing but fish all the time lol. It sure would be nice to get my canal tackle wet again this year. Tight Lines bro!

[@chrischambers4538]

What’s up Trout love the videos bro. I was down the canal last Wednesday evening down at the west end first cast on a savage eel caught a slot fish. The guy next to me pulled a 42” beast. What time do you typically go down to fish early mornings and evenings? I’ve heard that and slack tide is good what do you think cuz I’m looking to go down more I need to pull out a beast this year. It’s so addicting lol

[@TroutSpankins]

Thank you Chris,I appreciate the support!!! That’s awesome!!! It’s not often you hook up on the first cast,always a good way to start the day!!! Depends on the current and the weather,I like 2 hours before and after slack.Really depends though.I’m glad you got into some fish!!! But be careful,it really can be addicting!!!lol👍🎣

[@jw6787]

Way to get all the googs fired up for the new moon 🌚! 😄

[@TroutSpankins]

Haaaa!!! Those tides are always a log jam.Some guy already posted 5 or 6 videos before me anyway🎣

[@gabrielM1111]

Put a jumbo siwash hook on the back and they won't miss ever.

[@CHASINGHOOKS]

Can you catch with topwater all day?

[@TroutSpankins]

Usually do better with jigs during the day,but sometimes they hit top water,depending on the conditions.

[@etv9883]

looks like they're smacking the lure trying to stun it like how they would do to a bait fish.... that's why you see dead bait fish floating. throw some sub surface baits into your tackle box. you'll still get the surface explosion when the fish comes in to destroy the lure with better hook up ratio.

Insanity 🔥 I have to say that you missed a lot fish because your pencil popper was to big.. a 6" pencil popper could be better

[@TroutSpankins]

Thank you!!!🎣 Personally I think it was more the buoyancy of the plug.Some of those fish were knocking the pencil completely out of the water.I use sinking pencil poppers now,and I think they have a better hook up ratio👍🎣

[@kellyrw9865]

It's goes by bunker or Menhaden not porgie. Two totally different fish. Good video but please get bait fish name right.

It goes by POGY not PORGIE.Two totally different fish.Good comment,but please learn bait fish names,before pretending to be an expert.
