I have to be honest I've been fishing since I was a child and I'm almost 40 as far as circle hooks go I've been using them for years and I feel like I've learned so much watching this video thank you. I used to live on the beach and I live down the road from one when it comes to setting the hook I think I know why I lost a few thank you again for the advice.

[@jerseyboysoutdoors]

[@andrewnemethy5419]

Nice tutorial, and for a guy who fishes for stripers in bays and off jetties or boats with lures, I finally know what a "bunker" is. In the Navy, bunker is the fuel that runs the ships. Who knew it was also bait. So if I catch a mackerel I know how to cut it up and hook it too now, Going up to PEI to fish in early October and they require barbless hooks so appreciate the tips here. Good luck to all the fisher people out there. Love ocean fishing cause you never know what could be biting!

[@rogerstackhouse3832]

Always loved surf fishing but live in PA. Unfortunately I would just walk down and throw out a line. Now that I am retired I have been trying to get more knowledgeable about reading the surf, baits, rigs. Your videos are perfect! All of the others I have found are from Florida, Australia etc. Thanks SO much! Can not wait to get down and put it into practice!

[@thedukeofagita3730]

I’d love to get in on the fall striper run, but alas, we head down the shore in mid-summer. I’ve caught schoolie bass in the bay, but I’ve never pulled one out of the surf. Seasonally speaking, I’m stuck catching blues, fluke, kingfish, dogfish and skates out of the surf. I don’t mind the “trash”, I’m just thankful for the opportunity to surfcast. As long as my rod is bent, I really don’t care what’s on the end of my line. Get out there and rip ‘em this fall! Don’t take it for granted. Take it from me- the landlocked guy in CO wishing he could be there during the fall run!

[@jerseyboysoutdoors]

Hey Duke, thank you for watching! I'm with you on that, I don't care to much what is on the other end as long as it's bending my rod. Great reminder though to not take what we have for granted. It can get very easy to always think the grass is green somewhere else.

Only need to use circle hooks for stripers when fishing natural baits. Also make sure that when using bunker that there are no scales on the point of the hook.

[@jerseyboysoutdoors]

Both good points. I did forget to mention about only using them while using natural baits. Thanks for the reminders!

[@dutchkayaker2462]

I've watched tons of videos but this was the most thorough and conclusive video on how to surf fish properly. The only thing I need to buy now is some tie line to secure the chunk bait to the hook. The only thing is like to see is a video on how to clean and oil your gear after surf fishing.

Another good tip i learned for finding holes (im on lbi too) is walk the beach and look for areas where washed up shells are larger than the other spots, thats typically a hole too. Great video so glad i found this!

[@RickMidds]

Nice T-knots on that high/low rig. 😉👍 I don’t see many people do that. You should really mention taping your index finger or wearing a casting glove with that braid. I fear that there will be a lot of novice fisherman who watched this getting rushed to the hospital with a 1/2 severed index finger because they casted with braid without any finger protection.

[@jerseyboysoutdoors]

That's a good point. I did think about that during the making of the video but forgot to mention it. At some point we may do a video about how to make the rigs, so I will be able to mention it then. thanks for watching!

[@owjbehdobw4711]

I never had a problem with keeping clam on the hook without tie line. You are better off wrapping it in a fine mesh if you keep getting chewed off by smaller fish. Small fish will still eat the clam even if it's tied up. If your clam is coming off when you cast then you need to hook it differently or cut the bait differently so that it stays more in tact. The tongue is tough, but a lot of scent is in the belly so cut pieces that have both and hook it through the tongue, then belly, then tongue again.

[@jerseyboysoutdoors]

Thanks for the info! We appreciate you watching!

[@kevinmedeiros9281]

Just curious, how do you set the hook on a circle hook when you have the rod in a rod holder on the beach. Do you set the drag really loose and let the fish run for a little bit, then tighter the drag, and reel fast while still in the rod holder to set the hook? Or do you tighten the drag and leave it in the rod holder for the fish to set the hook by itself? Or lastly, do you leave the drag tight, pick the rod out of the holder and side sweep to hook the fish? Thank you in advance for the advice

Im new to fishing and was wondering what type of bait I should through in the summer?

[@jerseyboysoutdoors]

Hey thanks for watching! So if your going for stripers through the summer clam is probably going to be your best bet. However the best time to catch stripers is in the spring or fall. The general rule of thumb for cut bait is clam in the spring and bunker in the fall. Best of luck to you and keep an eye on our weekly reports to see what is working and where the fish are being caught.

Great video. Thank you.

[@johnclayton1875]

I wish the surf fishing videos would show where the rig actually lands in the surf by using some kind of marker like a arrow as a example

Isn't that hole exactly where a rip current is likely to form? So I would think it would carry the rig further out to where the current would spread out?
