SP Minnow Striped Bass Fishing. Upper Narragansett Bay 05/18/2016

[@3wsportfishing311]

Stopping at a few spots in Rhode Island in two weeks on the water to Cape cod for two weeks. Will be just about the six year anniversary of this vid. All your vids keep us stoked ! Tight lines buddy ! 😎👍🏻🤙🏼🐟🎣

[@MichaelP0418]

Think this video is slightly underrated mostly for the technique, and how you described the retrieve for this lure (jerk-jerk-pause, crank-pause). Cannot tell you how much success I have had throwing bombers and SPs using that type of retrieve. Keep up the good work, and thanks again!

[@claymancill5836]

loving the videos man. by far one of the best fishing channels out there

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks brother for the support. Gad to hear you like the video's. Im in Montauk right now for the rest of the season any requests what you would want to see me catch next?

[@claymancill5836]

no problem man! i wanna see you catch some black drum

[@claymancill5836]

FishAholic Fishing no problem man! i wanna see you catch some black drum

[@FishAholicTV]

Yeah Black drum would be really sweet. Might head back to Jers and fish with Sea-money for Cobia or drum we will see though.

[@claymancill5836]

+FishAholic Fishing really looking forward to that. You and sea money are making some amazing videos!! Keep it up

[@ForgottenSandwich]

My pops and I were down there in the exact same spot as you as the other day. Some guy was killing schoolies on a superfluke. We were using spoons and swimbaits to no avail. I'll have to head back out! Still have yet to catch a linesider this year thanks for the video

[@FishAholicTV]

sounds good well now you have another lure to through and maybe have some luck. I opted to fish with my larger surf rod in this video to cast further out so try and chose and setup that you can cover the greatest amount of water. Tight Lines!

[@muhamadq1744]

Thanks for teaching me how to use this bait god bless you sir

[@Glapoint]

Great video, keep up the work

[@FishAholicTV]

thanks man tight lines!

[@corey4270]

Got any tips for casting an SP minnow, it seems to always spin even without wind

[@tyfishing3318]

Coreytime before casting give it a jiggle to put the lead in the back of the plug. Look up fish with ish tips to casting sp minnow.

[@InTheFlow66]

Great video! In the sequence of "crank, pause, jerk, jerk, pause" by crank, do you mean that you are reeling it in on the crank action and not on the jerk , action? Thanks for help!

[@muhamadq1744]

Yes reel on crank. Then pause. Jerk jerk is just yanking. Then pause. Then reel on crank. Then pause

[@InTheFlow66]

@@muhamadq1744 thanks pal!

[@muhamadq1744]

@@InTheFlow66 the season is around the corner i cant wait!!

[@jeeperscreepers3782]

Nice catch

[@kfs4869]

Hey, that setup have there, have you tried fishing for surf perch with it. If so, how's the bite feel on the rod? I was thinking about picking one up.

[@jeeperscreepers3782]

Sp minnow and so minnow bullet rock

[@peterhaskin8924]

Man I am getting the fever.. I need to get out there.

[@FishAholicTV]

haha yeah nows the time

[@777AndrewR]

When looking for fish spots on Maps what do you generally looking for in fishing spots?

[@FishAholicTV]

Andrew Reichel I look for parks, bridges, public access, then I push the envelope and look to see if I can fish the surrounding area around a park with a little extra effort maybe by walking in the water or climbing over fences. Public parking. Then I finally pick apart structure in the area and look for areas close to deep water. Usually darker areas on the map will be deeper and shallower spots will be lighter.

[@colleenfaria6332]

That's over near the golf course right?

[@deanfulford69]

nice fish keep up the good work do u ever come down to N.C to fish

[@FishAholicTV]

thanks! yeah i sometimes go to SC in the late fall early winter but sometimes. I really have only fished NC once.

[@777AndrewR]

Ok thanks

[@muhamadq1744]

When you crank how many full rotations of the reel are you pulling? Just one?

[@3wsportfishing311]

Turns if handle don't matter. You have to take gear ratio into consideration. Experiment with fast, medium or slow retrieve. Tight lines !!!!👍🏻😎🤙🏼

[@edgarrivalking5624]

Are they better for saltwater?

[@brodybanister3290]

What brand sunglasses do you wear?

[@webmoss]

Isn't that area chained off?

[@DOTOOLE1000]

hey you ever fish in boston harbor and do you think the sp minnow would be affective in a river

[@FishAholicTV]

yeah it definitely would be effective in a river. Ive never fished Boston Harbor haven't had the time to get up that way but maybe someday

[@268Killswitch]

Daniel OToole don't fish Boston harbor for striper go to Cape cod....

[@dyshine]

What location are you in? How can I find some good spots in Providence? I fish on the North Shore of MA but always wanted to try out RI.

[@FishAholicTV]

Target all the bridges in Providence good key locations and there are many local parks along the providence river from the Hurricane barrier at collier park to Conimicut pt that have easy fishing excess and will put you on some fish. I cant reveal the location because it is an out of the way spot that many anglers would dislike if i openly shared therefore it can be easily found on google maps thats how i found it and actually thats how i find most of my fishing locations google maps. So Google it up. Tight lines.

[@anthonypena3818]

Hi can you send me that location please and thanks

[@J_Cache]

what connection knot are you using between your braid and floro leader?

[@muhamadq1744]

Alberto knot

[@elwinbtorres]

what pound test is the leader??

[@iphone3gsdivine]

30

[@ahxpluhh]

how long is the lead line?

[@stevennicastro1797]

where is this excatly

[@Shwtime05]

Where do you park?

[@christopheribanez7005]

How come youre Triumph logo seem to look a little different? Seems to be bigger and a brighter yellow than mine. Nice fishing btw.

[@mikecabral7436]

Would you use the same color lures for night fishing?

[@FishAholicTV]

I like to have at least black, white, or yellow in at least one lure that I expect to use but the natural color im sure would still work like this bunker colored SP minnow I was using in this video.

[@kfs4869]

What's the brand and the weight to that SP minnow?

[@FishAholicTV]

Daiwa 1 1/9oz a link is in the description if you would like to check it out 11 different colors.

[@bigmanfishing8252]

when is the best time to go for stripers in the harbor?

[@Peter-zg3em]

before and into sunrise and dusk into early evening, but that is not a rule that is set in stone. you just need to go out there and find out the patterns for yourself. nobody on the internet in a comment's section will be able to tell you everything you need to know to catch fish. if you go out every day for a few months you will find out everything you need to know.

[@DOTOOLE1000]

what tide have you found most effective

[@FishAholicTV]

end of the incoming beginning of the outgoing.

[@zacharycalabro2966]

Do you ever fish with subscribers?

[@FishAholicTV]

I would do like a subscriber fishing video.

[@zacharycalabro2966]

+FishAholic Fishing I notice that you sometimes fish in Rhode Island. I fish the surf all the time in Rhode Island and enjoy your videos. Awesome to fish together sometime

[@FishAholicTV]
