East River Fishing. The High Low Fishing Rig NYC

I wanted to go out and show a very simple rig that catches a lot of fish in NYC. The High Low rig. It is easy to tie and catches everything. Grab some shrimp from the grocery store and give it a try. You'll have a ton of fun

It is so cool that your catching all these diffrent fish in the East river in an urban environment

Hey Bob! Nice catch. When I sent you that confirmation about the Cunner. I also went down the rabbit hole of researching for them as well.

[@BobAquatic]

I grew up fishing this nyc piers in fact right down the block from me in greenpoint jigging monster stripers each fallllll on custom made tube jigs i also had a small bait and tackle store for over ten years storm sandy put a end to that taking down the two remaining fishing piers in my area before they where rebuilt over the old ones not the same much to high up great videos

[@BobAquatic]

Thank you Peter! I enjoyed reading your story

[@brendanks]

Really enjoying your videos!

[@BobAquatic]

Thank you Brendan!

[@petergucci4024]

I also remember the 80's and the large weakfish summers on these piers eating up snapper blues and jelly worms and jig heads i mean teen size weakfish into the fall

[@BobAquatic]

Love the weakfish, thank you Peter

[@Fish-Erman]

Put one of those bergalls on a hook, great doormat fluke bait.

[@BobAquatic]

Oh yeah it would be excellent bait

[@lochanssl2]

Another sick video 👍

[@BobAquatic]

Thank you lochanssl2

[@fishingwithbori]

Great video brother.

[@BobAquatic]

Cheers Bori, the river has been a good time lately

[@jeffmartin4238]

Big stripe bass on the other side by the Manhattan bridge. Battery park at night is good too. Tight lines.🦈

[@FeeshingGOD-g8d]

Been a sub for over a month now and have yet to see this guy catch anything close to a keeper. LOL!

[@BobAquatic]

Makes sense, but the great part is you can get super excited when I do catch keepers. We can get so excited together for keepers. That's the whole point of fishing, to get keepers. Fishing is only great if your getting keepers. I love smaller keepers, sometimes bigger keepers. The best keeper is the keeper that keeps the keeper. I really love that keeper

[@ATREZ0123]

😂 Mr. Who? Hilarious!

[@BobAquatic]

Thank you ATREZ!

[@Hottopicdrill]

I’d recommend snelling the sinker so you can switch out. Nice vid tho!

[@BobAquatic]

That a cool idea, I will give it a try. Thank you Hottopicdrill

[@ramiz_72024]

Great video! What size hook were you using when you caught the Spot (#1 or #6)?

[@BobAquatic]

Spot was on #6 hook size

[@ramiz_72024]

@@BobAquatic thanks!

[@mrgreen_photography]

Would love to fish with you and learn! I fish by the Astoria ferry

[@BobAquatic]

Hope to see you around! Fish on bud

[@JonathanAKuhn]

Hey Appreciate the videos, I am trying to learn the most. I am heading to NYC last week of August. I have 3 mornings like sunrise time to be able to fish. My idea is to try catching Smallbass in Central Park one day and then try to catch like Stripers or Rock Bass. I know most of your videos are with bait, but will be very difficult to move that, so will be fully with artificials. Any advice or tips? As well if you want to come fishing as well would be awesome. Local insight is always the best.

[@BobAquatic]

August can be tough for Striper. Your best bet would be to target them at night. Gulp! artificials will work in the River, bays and ocean side. The Central Park bass fishing aint bad, Harlem Meer is great. I wouldn't bring any expensive lures for the river, its very sticky. But you'll have a blast, there are fish around in August and most people target Fluke that time of year

[@nikosawchunk5720]

Will the tog still live with the hook inside?

[@BobAquatic]

It'll be fine. Its a tiny #6 hook. Do way more damage trying to get that out.

[@romeojames89]

What is that green thing there?

[@BobAquatic]

Gulp grub in Chartreuse

[@romeojames89]

@@BobAquatic thanks a bunch 👍🏿👍🏿😃

[@MartinVSmith6334]

Try up by the old Domino Sugar plant come September for stripers.

[@BobAquatic]

There is a video somewhere on the channel catching a striper over there during the day. I'll usually fish at night if I am targeting bass in the river during the summer. Night fishing videos never perform very well so I gave up on them, but I still go fish for them without the camera

[@samyxxy]

@@BobAquatic any tips for night time? Never caught a fish in the river

[@BobAquatic]

@@samyxxy You could use this same rig at night. If you want to use lures, bucktails and swimbaits with jig heads work well.

[@MegaBait1616]

@@samyxxy , yeah bring a .9mm with ya ..

[@MADD730]

Caught a nice size shark on the east river by 96th street the other day and I was surprised😅

[@NYC_THC]

What time was this bob ?

[@BobAquatic]

In the morning

[@DollarBill-jq4ep]

Dude! You're catching bait.

[@BobAquatic]

Thank you for watching dollar bill

[@casanova0102]

Can you eat them?

[@BobAquatic]

yeah for sure if they are within regulation size

[@WildBillandFriends]

That is not a high low rig.

[@BobAquatic]

@@WildBillandFriends then what’s the rig Bill
