*I used to fish with a Crippled Killer growing up in the 50/60’s and **enjoyable.fishing** recommend think this lure gas a smoother propeller action. It is a great surface lure.*

[@CapeCodCanalFishing]

Fishing etiquette is everything at the canal!!

[@LivingLifeOurWay365]

The family of ten were so sweet and polite.

[@chrisg2282]

The good old days. Before everybody and their pet dog started taking up all the fishing spots due to Covid🤣🤣

[@deefishkeeper2019]

Great video man! Always helpful to get tips from other Anglers on stuff like this. It can really help change the deciding factors of whether or not a day of fishing will be good it’s not when it comes to technique!

[@jasonclark8921]

Great video bro hope your having a great week . Thanks for the video and keep them coming.

[@HeySkipper]

Having a fantastic week, thanks for tuning in :)

[@CoachTang]

Great video! Love the family aspect and etiquette. 👊🙏

[@CEX2]

Great content as always pleasure to watch. Keep up the good work. Cheers 🍻

[@HeySkipper]

Thank you:)

[@heyjoejp]

Fantastic and invaluable content. Fishing the canal is tough but incredibly rewarding. Catch & Release. Preserve the sport.

[@jon_killa]

I was just fishing there yesterday!!! Got a 42” Striper what a good time!!!

[@Dmarston14]

Another great day! That family had the right idea. It’s like a fishing team 😆

[@sameralawamleh2835]

You are awesome my friend today was my first day visiting the cap cod canal and I watched your video while I’m driving back after a long day of trying and learning all what you learn it’s the best of what I have seen also I promise you this month when I catch that big bass I’m tagging you as and I’m doing it for us :)

[@yeoldegunporn]

thats so cool. I was just wondering what the fishing there is like, I visit my wife's family there all the time, but never fished it. Thanks for sharing!

[@rosiksmith99]

Great video man! I watch them all!

[@HeySkipper]

That’s great to hear! Which is the most helpful?

[@tracybradshaw1362]

Looks like a great time!

[@TomyTekOutdoors]

That was cool to see that entire family fishing and catching. At least you didn't have a skunk and got some great footage. I hope to fish up there someday.

[@user-gp4xl4so1g]

WOW!that a good view!

[@reelyangler5351]

Nice job!!! Keep it up.

Congratulations, beautiful fishing. Have a great week and lots of fish on the line. *Hug!* 👍😊

[@that_skaterboy8234]

Love this vid man keep it up

[@HeySkipper]

Thanks, Noah! Have you ever fished cape cod canal?

[@that_skaterboy8234]

Senko Skipper i never fish at it i live in wa but your bass vids are alot of help

[@Karatosa]

Way to many people,did that once in Wisconsin for the salmon run, never again it was a circus. I like your videos, good context, keep them rollin.

[@salvadorhernander519]

I learned a lot cause off u guys thanks

[@benkfishing9841]

Keep up the great work!

[@HeySkipper]

Thanks!

[@macsoodo6384]

My Stripaaaah was full of Macks. And I've fished with Delaware Martin too. Good guy. Very helpful!

[@Native20559]

Excellent video folks, one of your best, if not your best!!! Ranks up there with your Sebastian show!! Nicely done. The family content was priceless, really great stuff!. Might want to show an additional segment to clarify the gear used and why you used it, and the conditions you fished on the banks, particularly the safety issues you touched upon. Anyway, well done and thank you from those of us with families!!

[@stevensilva1350]

I can’t believe the skipper been to the canal.

[@user-ii3up5zd7j]

Thanks for the instructional video. Moved to RI from FL and the saltwater fishing is way different.

[@HeySkipper]

It is way different isn’t it?

[@user-ii3up5zd7j]

Yeah not even close man. Been doing a lot of freshwater fishing. Got the bass and the black crappie pretty well dialed in. Time to try out the striper fishing.

[@stephenriddle1292]

Very good content!

[@tilendynaguy4895]

Better Everytime.. 👍👍

[@Crix4evaTnT]

Awesome one bruh

[@HeySkipper]

Thank you!! We are so grateful to have had that experience!

[@Crix4evaTnT]

no worries bruh much luv all the way from the Caribbean

[@aLLsTaR_617]

Wish I saw you up there!! The learning curve there is definitely intimidating but once you get it down your good!!! That’s my stomping grounds I’m there 4-5 times a week. Tight lines

[@siloecontreras8185]

Where is this

[@Sweepea413]

im from mass and we do got some monster out here good to see u came to my home state

[@HeySkipper]

It is wonderful in mass.

[@TheBr20042003]

Good point on fishing etiquette. It is very important to not crossing others lines. I practiced in my backyard before fishing in crowded areas. Second thing that aggravates me is people walking up and standing almost on top of my pole leaning on the railing causing it to move while asking "so what kind of fish do you catch in this water?" any freshwater fish can be caught in this water.

[@dcarter380]

One of the best video right here. That family is dope!

[@HeySkipper]

Thanks and yes they were a great group:)

[@lloydhoboken2247]

Pennsylvania Dutch fishing family, I’d laugh too... ur girl knows it’s funny

[@waltercuyugan7015]

wow! there's a lot of big on that spot

[@TsunamiSam]

6 hour non stop top water bite 30 to 40 pounders ! We got on them when we got there .. dialed inn 👊a lot of time putt inn to find where

[@OutkastAdventures]

Great video with that family. Liked and subscribed. We also just did a video from the Canal, fun place

[@isaiahamparan8311]

Hey can you please make another video with tips and tricks on what good rigs to use on a peir?

[@HeySkipper]

Sure thing!

[@BasicFishingNZ]

[@HeySkipper]

It was a blast, tough but worth it!

[@ba-jn2ug]

[@HeySkipper]

Oh man! That’s awesome good for you.

[@YING7777]

[@cityneckangler9766]

I have a family road trip planned later this summer and I was wonder what size rod and reel you were using in the canal I was thinking about a 9ft rod and putting a 6500 size reel on it

[@stephenbru]

I'm new to your channel and I like your videos …I have only fished fresh water and I would like to know about what type of gear would be the most useful when fishing the Cape Cod Cannel....What lb. test should you use?….and what is a good length fishing rod?...as you can see I'm green newbie....Thanks.

[@vinaybhapkar4256]

Hi senko love from india. Watched your every video thanks for sharing your experience.... Can you help me for what kind of rod should I purchase to use for Shimano baitrunner 12000d ...

[@mahamadelfakir5385]

I have litres just like that but a little bigger meant for muskie let my friend use it and he caught a big tiger muskie

[@HeySkipper]

Yes, they work for many species

[@ajsaulo2915]

You should pier fish in captree, long island! Would love to fish with you one day.

[@fishingmidatlantic6610]

What time of year should you go there and what lures should you throw

[@elpelaosx19]

Hey Senko when will you be fishing here in Costa Rica? Take this as an invitation brother

[@STILLPHENOM]

When is the best time to go up there? whats a good setup? I have been dying to go to one of those trips. Cheers Skip and Erin. Glad to have found your channel. By the way, you guys from MD? If so, have you been to conowingo?

[@emmanuelshalemkedar8964]

[@jabreiljohnson4428]

[@Gearclocks]

What day did you go? And what are the best days in the year to go

[@bornlucky9564]

[@maxtwinturtle830]

Born Lucky oh man. Never go mornings ever again there. Elbow to elbow. Night is pretty quiet

[@bornlucky9564]

[@HeySkipper]

[@HeySkipper]

This one is 5 oz. got it from local baitshop near the canal

[@timothythao9010]

Do you know any tips on how to avoid snag while bottom fishing

[@carminemonaco5712]

I was there Wednesday

[@andy2310ify]

What kind of set up are you using ?

[@mrremily9323]

senko i challenge you and your wife to try jetty fishing in cameron louisiana or bridgeside marina pier in grand isle lousiana. i would like your perspective on whether the stripers or bull reds fight the hardest

[@xexoticx5748]

Funny many fishermens lures get bigger and bigger , but i buy and throw my lures smaller and smaller. I catch more fish with smaller lures and most of my PB's also. (In freshwater)

[@jabreiljohnson4428]

What lure were you using?

[@alohadiver1979]

still something I should totally try to do though.

[@jasonmartin2311]

How much where the fishing lic in Ma if you even need any?

[@lloydhoboken2247]

I don’t wear a skirt when I fish the canal I wear a kilt, have a knife on my ankle as well and use bagpipes to serenade the fish to me. When the blues are in I lift my kilt and do the helicopter. I only catch bass over 30lbs since I blow all the small fish away with my he man scrote wind

[@kongkeahoe]

Now the action is hot , albacore, blues and stripers

[@MyRivera23]

Hey come to ct thames river.striped bass spring in fall blue fish in september to nobember best.black fish october is best.fluke scup porgys also bait fish run trough here,bunkers.

[@louisabreu1]

Hey whats the exact location where you was fishing? Looks like a good spot

[@HeySkipper]

Cape cod canal

[@fongyang532]

What rod did you use?

[@jakemcdermott1901]

Hi senko skipper, my name is Jake and I am heading out to cape cod from California and was wondering what lures to use?

[@harrymeas8304]

Jigs are good to use...mac color green or blue 3,4 and 5oz

[@mudshark412]

go to Red Top Sports tell them where you traveled from and they will set you up and read the canal fish reports from Fisherman mag

[@malikdesisles7294]

What are some great brand rods and reels that are cheap

[@paulbeach7129]

Ugly stick bigwater and Penn fierce 2.

[@fullmetaljackte]

what was that finger wrap u had?

[@paulchung3992]

Great videos!! I hope you can do more surf fishing videos!!😁😁

[@HeySkipper]

We will!

[@colinwinkelmann299]

i wish more people had fishing etiquette, I had a man see me catching carp ( I was having an excellent day 7 carp landed) and he came over and cast a huge bobber and weight ON TOP of my line in the hole I was fishing. He was less than 3 feet from me in a 14 acre lagoon with carp everywhere, smh some people are just rude. I made sure to rub it in when I finally landed a 20 pounder with him next to me

[@traviscrozier2605]

When I get snagged or tangled with someone else’s line that frustrates me a lot

[@macsoodo6384]

B.T. How do I keep missing you? I was at the Ditch in June with Martin, Tony and Lou. And in July, just got back.

[@HeySkipper]

Man, we will bump into each other one of these days

[@Bobb1julie]

SENKO SKIPPER ..You are the best and an excellent mentor for all phases of fishing ...however, since you were on my turf the CCC I have to take you to task on our beautiful Stripers.. Please when releasing your Bass lay them gently in the water , holding on to the area just forward of the tail an slowly move them back and forth allowing the water to pass through their gills . They’ll thank you when they slap their tail and you get your face washed LOL..and Erin being a Pro photographer may I say that you are an excellent photographer . You have the ability to see ..You are very creative and draw the viewers in to your work .Keep up the good work. Think wireless radio for future applications . PLEASE DON’T THROW THE STRIPER IN THE WATER .IT’S OUR PRECIOUS RESOURCE .🐠🐠😃

[@HeySkipper]

Thank you for informing us! We will release more gently next time. Happy you gave us some good feedback!

[@ssrika2311]

[@derekjohnson3954]

Their is a great stripper spot off of Provincetown just walk up the beach until you see fish hitting the surface I have found the most fish are away from most the people and find a lot of dead fish bones on the beach.

[@jesusv4555]

Stripper fishing is very slow down here at nyc

[@HeySkipper]

Man it’s hot, I’m not surprised!

[@saadjaradat7275]

It’s always slow 😂😂😂 believe me , u get that one good run , if that, late spring that lasts like 1 week then adios . NYC has no pure fishing spots that produce and ur best bet is bunker chunks

[@baalbert4822]

You are the best

[@HeySkipper]

No you are the best!
