Giant Gorilla Bluefish on Pencil Poppers! + Striped Bass. New Jersey Surf Fishing Fall 2015

Hot bluefish bite 10-15lbers with some small keeper size striped bass mixed in.
Action picks up around 13:00
Video is shot in Monmouth County NJ. There are Stripers and Blues roaming the beaches from Sandy Hook to LBI, finding the fish takes time and patience but when you do ITS ON.
LURE: 6" and 7" Tsunami Talkin Popper
ROD: Shimano Tiralejo 9'6
REEL: Penn Clash 5000
Thanks for watching. Also, I exaggerated the size of the bass in the vid, what I call 10lbs is probably more like 7 or 8 pounds haha

[@ryanscarp]

Sea money I'm young and you really inspire me I be been fishing since I was three and once I saw your channel it really helped me

[@michaelsimko7694]

Surf casting doesn't get any better when it comes to topwater bluefish! Landed a 13 pounder in September during a huge blitz in southwestern CT. Your topwater vids are so exciting, I could keep watching them day after day! Can't wait for those April residential stripers and June blues!

[@ChrisMcIntee]

+Michael Simko thanks man, I love the big blues on topwater haha

[@valonahunters7330]

u are having so much fun!! i have more than 4 months without catching a big one the last was a sea bass up to 1 chilo.

[@fernandosalas8589]

14 lbs-ers they look big I have heard of 20lbs-ers they have to be enormous. I wouldn't pull hooks on those blues even small ones I have gotten hit why'll they're jumping around here in South Florida.

[@paddlefisher]

wow, some nice tailor there, or bluefish as you guys call them, great stuff!

[@bassraider8105]

great vid as always keep them coming

[@user-kk6lc1th2r]

Do you tie your leader directly to your lures or ever use an angler's clip? If a clip, what lb? Thanks! Great vid.

[@anthonysanchez3764]

looks like a lot of people are liking this new Penn Clash, How you liking it? is it holding up?

[@ChrisMcIntee]

+Anthony Sanchez Yep its working well, dunked it a couple times and laid it in the sand accidentally but its holding up fine. Penn is hard to beat

[@anthonysanchez3764]

Then that'll be my next reel. Tired of shimano's weak profile.

[@SupaNami]

Great vid, nice Blues, what's the intro song?

[@BallaCoiPersici]

Awesome. You guys have landed in a day more blues than me in a year. But remember to ask to Santa for a pliers :-)

[@lou4ny]

Cool vid,,, you. fish nj? like Sandy hook? long breach? p.p.b?

[@TheWolfePit]

Excellent action!!

[@bernier14]

Great vid. There's nothing like catching some gator blues

[@kylemcrae3490]

Sweet video, I'm definitely subscribing. What kind of GoPro mount is that? Is it the head mount?

[@ChrisMcIntee]

+Kyle McRae thanks man, yea the head mount, nice cobia! where do you catch those?

[@kylemcrae3490]

+Sea-Money Fishing Got that one in Charleston, South Carolina, probably 15 miles offshore in 60 ft of water. I've got a video of it on my channel if ya wanna watch it. Best eatin fish there is

[@ChrisMcIntee]

Ive been dying to catch a cobia. Ill check out your vids

[@fishonlinecanada]

Great action and the ocean is nice and calm. Do you find that this year the season lasts longer? How long do yo think the blues stay close to shore? Thanks for sharing the video. Tight lines and happy fishing.

[@ChrisMcIntee]

The blues disappeared! They might make another showing sometime soon but for now it's just one here one there. Thanks man!

[@fishonlinecanada]

Thank you for the info.

[@woodchair6]

Great video. Do you have any recommendations for a reasonable $$$ plugging set up. That looked like a Battle II reel, hence the question.

[@ChrisMcIntee]

+woodchair6 Its a Penn Clash, that reel goes for just under 200$ which is great compared to the van staals and zeebass's that everyone else surfcasts with (those reels go fro $500-1200$). The Penn Battle's are great, so I've heard, I'd stick with a penn reel and then try to find a 9' rod throwing 1-3ounces. Tsunami, Tica and even st. croix. have pretty cheap surf rods that are high enough quality that you could expect them to last a couple seasons.

[@Stl71]

What's the distance at 1:33 ? What distance do you usually cast?

[@jonathanwinter0212]

Hey I'm going down to wildwood in the beginning of June and I wanna know some good spots to fish and what do I have the best chance of catching also I'd like to know what's best to use to down there.

[@devinwright4970]

I have a question? I'm gonna be going striper fishing the weekend after thanksgiving. Would that be a good time? Btw it will be in Nj.

[@ChrisMcIntee]

Yep should still be good, we'll be getting them til at least mid December

[@emcapio]

what giants?

[@Fishingguy00]

Nice vid ! You think stripers and blues are gonna be active like that in MD this time of year ?

[@ChrisMcIntee]

+Daniel Na thanks man I dont think maryland has much to offer the surf angler these days. You can certainly catch bass and bluefish, redfish as well, but action is scarce and I feel like they go weeks without seeing fish on their beaches. Good beach bites south of LBI (South Jersey, DE, MD) are rare any more. If you're talking about the chesapeake side of maryland you might run into some blitz like fishing, but I don't know first hand. The rt 50 bridge is your best bet for finding some stripers or blues in MD.

[@Fishingguy00]

+Sea-Money Fishing thanks for that info! Keep up the good videos!! Love them!

[@gammaray6465]

I went out for striper near SIC last Friday. I was using the storm shad but I didn't have any luck. do you think it's still too early for down there?

[@ChrisMcIntee]

If you're fishing sea isle you might want to check out the 8th street jetty in Avalon, also the bridges going into each town, not a ton of fish down that way, more will show up as the season progresses but I haven't heard anything good from the beaches down that way, it's not easy to find the fish but when you do, all the skunked trips become worth it. I've had my share of skunks this year

[@gammaray6465]

+Sea-Money Fishing thanks for the info! what's your views on fishing in tuckerton?

[@ChrisMcIntee]

+Gamma Ray I've never fished there but I do like backbay fishing and I've heard good things about tuckerton

[@bigpeterchang360]

what kind of line do you use and where exactly is the spot you fish at thinking of coming next winter

[@PNW_Outdoors]

I go fishing on the Oregon coast (surf & jetty). I use clam necks and catch only flounders. Got any tips to catch different species and bigger fish?

[@ChrisMcIntee]

+MrJake365 Not too familiar with Oregon but I know they have salmon runs there, Id look into that. Also maybe try throwing chunks of cutbait such as fresh caught surfperch out with 10/0 hooks and see if there are any leopard sharks out there? haha I wish I could help but I don't know the pacific too well.

[@cornbread1970]

Man, I miss fishing for Jersey Jumbos!!!

[@karlhyde1128]

What rod are you using in the video? It seems to cast light lures pretty far. Thanks

[@DanielFantini]

what do you do to find a productive spot of shoreline? Do you just wade along till you find the fish?

[@ChrisMcIntee]

Yep that's all you can do. Knowing the beach structure, wind and tide are all things to take into consideration.

[@DanielFantini]

Sea-Money Fishing thanks man. appriciated. I will be in ocean city NJ for Thanksgiving. Think I could get some of this action? Great video btw

[@ChrisMcIntee]

+Dan 2c plus They rarely get into any hot bites in south jersey in the fall off the beaches but Thanksgiving is prime time and if you chunk/clam you could get a couple bites, most of the fish that time of year on bait are good size, 50lbers are beached every fall in cape may county, but it's definitely quality over quantity

[@akilbarandurgun4582]

hi im from turkey my name akif. itsa very very good fishes. I wonder months of the year which you hunt down those fish? thank you

[@ChrisMcIntee]

+Akilbaran Durgun We catch them in the spring and fall, mainly april-june and again september-november. Greetings from the US!

[@frog8104]

Great video, you should come to south florida sometime !!

[@ChrisMcIntee]

Would love to haha one day, one day

[@noahladd3268]

+Sea-Money Fishing i'm new to the kind of fishing you do... why don't you keep some of the fish or are you not allowed to or are you just a catch and release?

[@countrygirlfishing]

Do yall eat blues? Good Video !!!!

[@JerzyAnt609]

For most of the time on jersey beaches do you ever feel like damn I wish I had a longer rod to reach the fish or you feel like a 9-10 is good enough thanks in advance

[@jamesmatkowski33]

anthony alessi get the longest rod you can throw well. On an open beach it's easier to cast, why not take the extra distance

[@KL-qo3ix]

What lb test leader were you using when the bluefish cut you off?

[@ChrisMcIntee]

+Kev Z. I believe I was using 50lb

[@browardcounty6233]

hows that clash working for you

[@alexsrodowski3918]

Which model Avid and Van Staal was your friend using?

[@MolarAttorney50]

probably a 150 van staal

[@AdamBrrFishing]

Nice....What length rod and power are you using?

[@EricJohnson-tk6dh]

It's In His Bio

[@jameshancock6570]

About your reel making noise, did you lay it down in the sand?

[@ChrisMcIntee]

+James Hancock No it was fresh out of the box, my 2nd or 3rd cast it started squeaking like that.. I didn't do anything about it and it went away after a couple weeks. pretty strange

[@mikeycapp1]

I remember Blue Fishing off of the beach in Warwick R.I. a place called Conimicut Point, unfortunately the blue's over the years have diminished, a product of overfishing the species.

[@fishingthecarolinas894]

How many feet is your rob

[@weqrfawe1336]

awesome video!!

[@connornary2643]

Would Zoom Flukes work for bluefish and striped bass?

[@ChrisMcIntee]

Yes, probably my favorite lure for catching stripers but it depends on the situation. If I were to throw zoom flukes on this day I would of only been able to cast about half as far as needed.

[@tonitheboss6634]

would you use the Clash 4000 for this type of fishing?

[@ChrisMcIntee]

Yes, definitely a good reel choice

[@bleachfromwalmart6381]

were can you catch these

[@emoe40]

Great Video. ...I bet I know what is top of your Christmas Gift List,.... Some Long Nose Pliers

[@pedrogtar]

is blue fish a bAd meal? never seen a video where they take it home

[@veronicaw8105]

taste fine if you bleed it right away, filet and remove both the skin and dark meat.

[@jamesgwara6864]

pcatalunia pedro they taste awful

[@scottj3134]

Great video lots of fun!

[@ethanpernek7186]

Nice blues! My record is a 19 pounder I caught trolling... It's also my profile picture

[@snakeeyes9246]

Ethan Pernek GoldenExt that's a giant for a Blue! I got my PB inshore in October 2016 on a topwater plug and it was 14 pounds. can't wait until I have a chance to catch those all day!

[@edwarddiaz8392]

Where was that at? If you don't mind me asking

[@ChrisMcIntee]

Northern NJ but if I were to add a street name or exact location then the next time I fish there it would be crowded. Island beach state park up to sandy hook has been good for the past week but the fish move daily and in order to find them it takes a good amount of walking and driving. Binoculars would be a good thing to take along for any ride down to the surf

[@chrisbrooks7868]

Are these good eating fish? How come you don't keep some of them?

[@slammedefhatch7117]

Yes they are definitely good fish. Or atleast the ones I ate

[@yaazizoful]

...

[@myoutdooradventures21]

Chris Brooks Striped Bass and Bluefish are really good. Can't go wrong in the oven, grill, or frying pan for either one. Some of the bigger blues get stronger tasting but down here in Florida where I live we get nice little 20 inch grilling bluefish all the time. Blues are oily though so cook them with butter or no stick spray not olive oil.

[@ia2835]

Do you crush your barbs on your front trebles?

[@ia2835]

Yeah and when they flip and a treble goes through your hand you'll be thankful

[@fishingwaters2899]

how fast do you real in your popper and how fast is the jerking motion on the pole?

[@ChrisMcIntee]

The retrieve is slow, but the popping is real fast. Working a pencil popper is unique and might take some practice.

[@fishingwaters2899]

thanks i fished sandy hook yesterday and their were blues everywhere but they would steal the live peanut bunker off our hooks and they snapped 50 pound braid like nothing when i cast kroc's. someone gave me a popper and said try this i ended up catching one fish on it and 3 more on spoons i had a real hard time though using the popper. tight lines

[@ChrisMcIntee]

+fishingwaters28 nice, you got in on the action, keep practicing with the popper!

[@fishingwaters2899]

+Sea-Money Fishing thanks nice video as always i will be back at it this weekend i will probably pick up a new pencil popper and brand new krocs do you have anymore advice on what i should get for these bluefish.

[@ChrisMcIntee]

+fishingwaters28 steel leaders!!!!!!!!! Nothing fancy, ask the guy at the tackle shop for steel leaders for bluefish and he'll help you out.

[@andrewbuonti1190]

Where is this?

[@MC-mn3nd]

what rod do you use? TY!

[@viper2788]

are you using the penn clash? whats wrong with it?

[@ChrisMcIntee]

Yes. It makes a noise... I love the feel of the reel but not the noise it makes, I think it's an isolated occurrence because the other penn clashes I've seen don't make this noise.

[@viper2788]

+Sea-Money Fishing Yea I'd get it returned/replaced in you can. My friends penn battle made a very similar noise after a hookset. He got it fixed after replacing some parts but forget what exactly.

[@nathanspang6185]

yup

[@jeremyomrod4226]

how do you like the clash?

[@ChrisMcIntee]

+jerm omrod I love it but its only issue is a grinding noise it started making right out of the box. Its light weight though and has lots of power behind it, I recommend it, odds are if you buy one it wont make the grinding noise like mine does, I think mine has an isolated problem of some sort..

[@jeremyomrod4226]

they seem like a great buy! is it still making that noise after servicing it or rinsing it out?

[@pshodean]

Get that man some PYLERS (3-4 pair) so he always has one.

[@thegreatandpowerfulwill202]

what kind of reel what kind of line

[@ChrisMcIntee]

Penn clash 5000, suffix 832 30lb braid

[@thegreatandpowerfulwill202]

nice

[@thegreatandpowerfulwill202]

where was the place you where fishing at .

[@bassraider8105]

what lure were you using

[@ChrisMcIntee]

Tsunami talking popper. Needed a white pencil popper 100 yards out and you were into fish

[@mrmarvin7589]

nice fishing man

[@ia2835]

Do you hate those waders ?

[@ia2835]

Check the crosswind block on your reel.

[@ChrisMcIntee]

+Yeah puss I hate all waders haha so yes. Ive had every kind of wader and I went back to neoprenes this year, every pair of breathables I buy ends up leaking the same season, these neoprenes are pretty tough, and the boots dont fill with sand which is a big plus.

[@ia2835]

+Sea-Money Fishing do they provide heatstroke? I have the same ones and they do. I'm getting new ones soon.

[@ia2835]

+Yeah puss amazing video by the way.

[@jeremyomrod4226]

What time/tide?

[@ChrisMcIntee]

+jerm omrod evening, tide was high.

[@cliff4715]

what size rod do you use and what bait do you use?

[@ChrisMcIntee]

9'6 surf rod, using artificials

[@cliff4715]

Ok what type just really started this saltwater thing and want to catch bigger fish

[@ChrisMcIntee]

+Clifford Williams pencil poppers. There are a half million out there but you can't go wrong with the tsunami talkin popper in 5"-7" size. Also buy yourself a pack of storm shads, some Ava's and a couple sp minnows and you're set

[@cliff4715]

Im not the biggest fan of storm that might be the fresh water ones but i use z man

[@cliff4715]

+Sea-Money Fishing i cant find a rod that small where did you find that one and what am i looking to pay for it

[@jack.m017]

do you mind telling the location or do u want to keep it secret

[@ChrisMcIntee]

I was in Monmouth county. The blues went wild yesterday from sandy hook south.. Many miles of beaches produced. Every day is different, today they are gone haha

[@veryveryboss]

The Blues were blowing up at sandy hook. I work on a party boat and we didn't catch anything, but today the boats did well. They're going back and forth between shallow and deep water

[@jackfarley1348]

+Sea-Money Fishing dude we should go fishing one time

[@RH421939]

you ever fish the point pleasant canal for stripers?

[@ChrisMcIntee]

+RH421939 Once but I didn't catch anything :P

[@MonkeyDLuffy-db4fo]

+Sea-Money Fishing just curious why don't you use a bait caster to cast?

[@askjldkalsasdnasn3721]

spinning reels are ideal for throwing plugs and lures

[@Nightskyninja]

Why didn't you just keep that bleeding one? It was gonna die anyways.

[@robertskudera3105]

It won't die. When you have a cut on your foot do you stop going to the beach?

[@jamesgwara6864]

wifes tale

[@jamesgwara6864]

Eli W ass hat nothing but a wife tale.do.humans die whrn we bleed

[@Easternlongislandcast]

Jesus christ how tall are you?

[@angeltjimenez4078]

GOOD VIDEO

[@GALIZAPIKAROBALIZA04]

¡¡¡Excellent video!!!

[@17DogsInClogs]

He sounds like rad brad

[@Tcray430]

I fish at raritan Bay in South Amboy NJ. I can never catch anything

[@Sideler74]

This is cool

[@RikkiTikkiTavi290]

Blues fight pretty hard but they don't stack up to jack crevalle.

[@danthelaxer8698]

debatable

[@RikkiTikkiTavi290]

+Danthelaxer Not if you've ever caught a big Jack.

[@Wolf6151]

+Danthelaxer I've caught blues and jacks, and few things hit harder than a jack crevalle. It's like trying to stop a freight train and a good one can spool you if you don't have the right equipment.

[@RikkiTikkiTavi290]

+Wolf6151 Yea a 5 lb jack would drag a 5 lb blue backwards through the water.

[@RIYakFishing]

Nice!

[@jamesalansmith206]

13 pounder...lightweight!

[@utoobia]

Well, great fun, but your scale is waaaay off. :)

[@KayakFrank]

Good Deal. Now get of the couch and do it again! Later sir.

[@browardcounty6233]

nevermind just read comment

[@edzkos59]

dammmmmmm

[@SetsumiA]

Your lb and my lb do not agree.

[@mueshow]

Enjoy your videos. You have skills. I'd let me kids watch if you would clean up the dialog.

[@ChrisMcIntee]

+mueshow thanks man. I do try to blurr out the bad words but this vid I let it all slide. Next few vids Ill keep them clean

[@SMF89]

[@indybob770]

I like profanity...lol

[@ChrisMcIntee]

+indybob770 I never know whether to not curse or just say fuck it and curse. I've chosen to keep it real haha.

[@TheAlexdx7]

the way you guys handle fish sucks, guess you will learn when you got nothing left

[@charlieyang3585]

The fish are fine

[@noah543210]

get a life. they handle them just fine

[@jamesgwara6864]

shut up goverment boy those fish are fine

[@reynoldaustin2372]

Nice video bro what size braid u use

[@ChrisMcIntee]

+Fluke Killer 5000 size clash and the rod is a shimano tiralejo. Awesome combo

[@vasselcooombs557]
