Reminds me of the skinny creeks I fish, usually I'll use a glide bait or a smaller plug. This video was great to come across while learning more about surf casting for striped bass.

Nothing like those river spots. Some of the best kept secrets in the fishing community…. Gotta “know a guy”. This was a fun watch. Appreciate you man.

Ive been fishing a small river for largemouths more than 30 miles upstream from the salt (Massachusetts) and I actually caught a little baby striper by mistake in June. Ill have to investigate it further to see if something like this could be going on there in the Spring. I know of people catching schoolies just a few more miles downstream in the Fall. Trying to learn as much as I can about Striper fishing

Rivers and back streams are my favorite places to try to find bass. I have a ton of small lures dedicated to fishing stuff like this all the time, and it makes for super fun fishing when you have light tackle

It is so cool to get a blow-up in a quiet stream.

In Maine, we can use live herring as bait. The river bites in the spring when the migration starts here in Maine. The rivers are the place for the big girls.

How early in the spring do you guys get them big girls up in the rivers? I don't fish Maine and would only take maybe 1 or 2 trips there next spring (I fish Massachusetts)

@zach6383 southern maine may 25th to June 15th would probably be the sweet spot. When it's over, the fish move out quickly. My channel has some video up at some of these big herring runs that get a good push of bass. Some spots I'm working 9 inch spooks and magic swimmers in rivers I can cast across.

Very cool. This spring I've been seeing a lot of herring feeds in north shore MA similar to this. The year class of fish may have something to do with the volume of feeds? Good luck and hope you find more good spots
@StripedBassHunt8 ай бұрын
It seems like there are some smaller fish around this spring than there was last year. Which is good to see. This year there have been the best herring runs in the last 5 years.

There’s places down here in Virginia that holds monsters every spring during the Herring run. Basically, it follows the Cherry blossoms blooming.

very unrelated question, I watch you're videos, great content. I was just curious do you kayak fish at all? Tight lines.

I haven’t fished out of Kayaks that much. But all of my friends that do catch really big fish!

Next time your in skinny water like this and they are following the bait in to your feet, swing the bait around and slap it down hard about 10’ in front of the fish after it turns off. Hold on tight because they will knock the rod out of your hand. They think it’s another bass feeding and cause them to strike

We have our versions of this in freshwater when they push up cold waters during summer. 36" and well above fish in 3' of water surface feeding on redfins is a blast. Get you a big glide. We smash them on 8" glides. They can't ignore it. You can start the glide venture with a savage gear glide swimmer its cost effective and doesn't roll in current. Easy guide lure client can just reel no real skill needed.

I stopped filming when it got too dark. Fished for another 2 hours and got a bunch of that same 20-25 inch bass. Only had 2 high 30 inch fish hit my plug. Definitely see the potential!
