Finding & Catching Winter Striped Bass

[@adog9834]

The phone call!!! 😂 I know that feeling

[@outdoorsadrenaline]

Great day of fishing you had there thanks for sharing! I haven’t been fishing in a couple months ago but this video got me fired up! Hopefully I’ll be able to get on the water this week!

[@theoriginalcaptjack]

Yes sir! Glad to hear! Catch a few for me!

[@jackmaxfield5855]

Great video - thanks for sharing your adventures!!

[@kurthartzog2582]

Striper chaos! Gettin it done son!

[@dirtyd3030]

Awesome Day my friend...

[@todddickinson3262]

Unbelievable... What else can I say?!?! Well done brotha!!!

[@dougturk7116]

You are the BOSS!! So envious - can’t find a Stripe on Smith Lake AL to save my life. Winter fishing here is supposed to be tops too but its totally opposite for me? Hopefully one day I’ll figure it out but if I don’t: Spring is coming!

[@SteveDouglastheCatfishDude]

Awesome day man

[@theoriginalcaptjack]

Thanks Steve much appreciated! Enjoy your videos!

[@SteveDouglastheCatfishDude]

@@theoriginalcaptjack thanks

[@jeremywyatt50]

Great video. Were you drifting or spot locked?

[@theoriginalcaptjack]

Thanks; I’ll drift, move slowly .2-.6mph with the trolling motor or spot lock in the winter just depends.

[@KV_Fishin]

Great Video!! Will be visiting Lanier early March on kayaks, any suggestions on what part to fish around?

[@theoriginalcaptjack]

Thanks, March is a transition month but the humps, saddles, points get good especially for spotted bass. Night time striper fishing around the same places and lights is usually best.

[@KV_Fishin]

@@theoriginalcaptjack thank you sir for the helpful tips! Excited to go and try for some Stripers! 🙏🏽

Now We Are Fishing

[@mathewpeace]

Haha, great video! I have been there with the wife calling. Haha

[@theoriginalcaptjack]

Hey thanks. I thought that might be relatable...

[@buythedip6130]

You were busier than a one-armed bricklayer in Baghdad. Wife on phone "I am on my way. babe.....meanwhile multiple reel drags screaming in the background.. Something tells me she has heard that story before. Epic...

[@theoriginalcaptjack]

Yes she has...haha

[@loumleurt1810]

Great video!!! Was this mid lake? Planning to return to Georgia for the weekend on a kayak any tips appreciated

[@theoriginalcaptjack]

Thanks, the afternoon bite is good.

[@mr.deagleson6085]

Seems Capt. jack done switch from artificial baits to full blown top shelf live baits.

[@theoriginalcaptjack]

The live bait bite is too consistent to ignore. It's true trout are more money but each bait is a striper sometimes two!!

[@BeeBroBeeBro]

lol love you so much but the fish are biting I can't come home now ;)

[@brianguillen8988]

What does tapping the boat do?? …around 13:50?? Attract bait or the biggins??

[@theoriginalcaptjack]

The tapping sound is commonly referred to as “drumming” and can gain the attention of striped bass. Many times it’ll draw them in to your bait spread and / or give you an opportunity to present a lure.

[@michaelcorcoran5995]

The fish come from a fishery and when they feed them in the big fiberglass tanks, they bang on the side before throwing the food in.

[@toneyevett5099]

were you fishing near creeks or river channels? enjoy your videos!

[@theoriginalcaptjack]

Hi thanks Toney! Fishing back in creeks 50'-70' of water.

[@suavray_mon]

You mentioned stripers at the bottom alot. Is this normal for them to be at the bottom? How far down usually?

[@theoriginalcaptjack]

Hi, definitely is common in the heart of winter and or during a cold winter. Generally when the bait is layered up thick on the bottom the stripers are there or aren’t too far behind. It’s the old saying find the bait find the fish.

[@MrArifG]

I'm local and fish lake lanier. Where area of Lake Lanier are you on? What bait do you use?

[@theoriginalcaptjack]

Hi I live in Buford but fish all over the lake mainly out of the east side. I use all baits just depends - in my videos you can see I catch them on a variety of live and artificial baits - I prefer artificial when possible

[@edwardfizette9854]

what is that thumping sound

[@theoriginalcaptjack]

Thumper / drumming

[@leo8505]

How are you anchored ?

[@theoriginalcaptjack]

Spot lock on the trolling motor when needed

[@billymills5530]

Where do you get trout minnows. My connection in NC quit selling bait fish and now sales koi pond fish.

[@theoriginalcaptjack]

Local bait shops have trout of various sizes during the colder months

[@phuctraudien9246]

Which part of the lake you’re fishing during winter? Near the dam, middle of the lake or way down the lake end.

[@theoriginalcaptjack]

Hi Phuc, I usually fish from mid lake creeks to north end creeks and bays/pockets along the way. Find the deep bait and you’ll find the fish.

[@vnboi33kk]

did you say you need more anglers? take me!!!!

[@harpoon1964]

Did you get an automatic thumper ???

[@theoriginalcaptjack]

Yes sir

[@KubjnTV]

what kind hook and size you using Thanks

[@theoriginalcaptjack]

Mutu light circle, size varies based on bait size. I just did a short video on this and put the link in the description for more info.

[@mtnguyen1696]

was that a MH or ML ugly rod you used?

[@theoriginalcaptjack]

Hi those are the ugly stik catfish rods which are generally MH.

[@edwardfizette9854]
