Sea Bass Attack - Fighting the Current and Big Sea Bass in the Long Island Sound!

I've said this before on a couple of videos, there's nothing better than living close to the water. What makes it even better is when your good friend, confidante, and fishing mentee (in this case Doc) has a boat docked less than a mile from your home.
This post-work trip in mid-September on Doc's beautiful Scarab saw us catch the tail end of the slack tide and the sea bass fishing was red hot with the tide on standby. With the fool moon however, as soon as the tide started running, the bite just shut down.

Loved the drone footage of you guys fishing!

[@sapelesteve]

That drone footage was very cool John! I knew that inlet looked familiar at the start of the video. Have been up and down that river a few times. Wish that I had those numbers where you guys fished for those Sea Bass! Anyway, looks like you had a great trip. 👍👍

[@Mike-hs8fq]

Great trip, and awesome seeing Doc enjoying himself!

Love it man great shots John

[@ejrocks10]

Lets go another post already

[@PeterRanieriII]

Great vid John, way to keep striving to improve the quality of your vids, look at maybe trying out the gopro media mod which has a microphone and does seem to suppress ambient noise including wind noise, works for me, but I don't use a headcam...also just my own personal observation about sea bass, it's not the current that shuts them off as much as it becomes harder to present the lure properly in a ripping tide. The jumbos feed in the heavy current if you present properly

[@jiggingjerks]

I have the mod kit too Peter. It’s good when it’s just me at a boat show but when I’m fishing with others, it really limits what you hear from them. Also, a little more cumbersome on the battery changes. Everything is a trade off 😀

[@PeterRanieriII]

@@jiggingjerks that’s true, there is a trade off. Always wondered about those Bluetooth mics but it starts feeling like a whole production and the editing takes forever the more “separated” your clips are. Either way, keep up the great work 👍

[@Redcrown48]

Doc looks good.

[@johnkeriazesakadoc7271]

Thank you!

[@duffmeister6480]

Doc, I love you, but get off my spot ! Just kidding, I’m a little deeper, about 12 miles out. Clam strips work best for me, but that slack current is the key. You look great. 👍🏻 on the drone footage John.

[@johnkeriazesakadoc7271]

Thank you!

[@dalehawk6865]

Loving the Doc content.

[@johnkeriazesakadoc7271]

Thank you!

[@ninepinproductions2447]

I enjoyed the new the style. I also really enjoyed the banter between you and Doc. The one suggestion I would make would be to mess around with your audio in the future. Perhaps different microphones will not pick up as much of the drone blade noises. Also I have question, why did you choose the live well with the seabass vs bleeding and ice? Was there a specific reason?

[@jiggingjerks]

Yeah got to figure out the noise with the drone - the drone itself doesn’t record audio - what you heard was the audio from the GoPro. If I lower the audio then you also don’t hear our conversation - my one thought is to have the drone firther away and then use zoom feature - the video quality then suffers. Re livewell, I’m a bleed and ice guy but this was Doc’s boat and he’s definitely more a live well guy…

[@Matt_Perch]

dont be afraid to step up to a heavier diamond jig when the current starts screaming, ive had 10 inch seabass smash the 6oz iron clam when that current is ripping in the sound, also using navionics finding large pieces with tide scours that have slack water behind them help keep them biting into the tide too, and of course light braid helps a ton

[@johnkeriazesakadoc7271]

We do use diamond jigs when not anchored more into October when they get even bigger.

[@Matt_Perch]

@@johnkeriazesakadoc7271 i personally use them spotlocked myself. Ill pitch ahead of the boat and get 5-6 sweeps and if the bites on they'll eat. I try to really hit those pockets of slack water behind the piece and being stationary ive found is important to that but position is key. If you're 10 feet off you wont catch them. Anyway im Happy to see you're enjoying life after battling cancer Doc. My father has blood cancer and the chemo treatments mess him up but i still try to get him on the water as much as i can

[@glennverspoor6611]

Great to see doc back into the swing of things and a question John,,have you ever caught any tog on the berkley crabs?

[@jiggingjerks]

I personally have not but Skinner has a video out from a couple years back where he did catch them on Gulp shrimp although not at the same numbers that I was using real crabs….

[@johnkeriazesakadoc7271]

Thank you!

[@pini5150]

i like the drone footage of you guys fishing. cool perspective. what drone are you using?

[@jiggingjerks]

DJI Mini2

[@SneakyPeteNJ]

liked the drone shot of you coming in. I don't think the drone shot while fishing adds to the video. would rather liked to see from the boat perspective

[@schultzie27]

Can you tell me where can I pick up that Jigging Rod of yours ? What is the length & lure/line weight of it ? Thanks

[@jiggingjerks]

It’s going into production now and will be made in America. I will have a video out with all the details once it is ready to be sold. Initially, will be sold straight through the rod maker, VRC.

[@oliverjohn5566]

Thank you for the video what boat is that?

[@jiggingjerks]

It’s a Scarab 302 with twin Yamaha F300s

[@marklabrozzi7260]

Ok so who had the drone first - you or skinner?

[@jiggingjerks]

Definitely me. Ive had this since last Spring but barely use. Ironically, did use it a bunch in Florid including a Skinner trip…

[@josephdoran1399]

Looking better every video Doc. Try to keep the weight off and get some exercise. Need to keep you strong and healthy. Eventually want to charter John H. With the Doc package.

[@johnkeriazesakadoc7271]

Cool! And thank you!

[@billyackerman1340]

A Doc package would be a blast!

[@riverakers]

No doubt Black Sea Bass are one of the best tasting fish in the Atlantic.

[@gennerobootz6490]

John what kind of spinning rod are you using

[@jiggingjerks]

It’s a rod I designed with a company called VRC. Coming out soon

The big Seabass prefer the stickier structure
