Striped Bass Fishing from the Rocks!! (Rockport, Massachusetts)

I take you guys with me to the coast of Massachusetts to do some saltwater fishing from the rocks! There are some BIG fish in these waters this time of year, and we throw some BIG baits to try to catch them. This is my first time ever doing some Massachusetts fishing , but I could not be happier with the outcome. I did not expect for this to happen..
Again, I want to thank each and every one of you for the support! At the time of this upload we just passed 448,400 I'm having so much fun making these videos, lets keep this rolling!

[@danielwagner4669]

Badass dawg, don’t live near anywhere that has striped but it’s been on the bucket list for sure

[@chuckkavigian1045]

What part of Gloucester? I fish Plum island a lot..looking for new spots from shore/jetties/rocks

[@zackatv7556]

You should go to Michigan. The UP is beautiful and I’m sure there is great fishing too

[@TheremixJHQ]

Bro come back to Delaware when you can

[@fishingmaxoutdoorvacationa9307]

Saltwater fishing I don’t know maybe I was born in Hawaii so I like saltwater fishing

[@mikemiles8403]

Love it when a new video pops up. Doing awesome dude, been watching ya for years, keep it up, an enjoy your trip

[@matthewchase6744]

Great seeing people having so much fun outdoors. Love seeing your enthusiasm for fishing and life. Keep up the great videos

[@jeremiahgriffin4889]

Let's gooo my home state! Love that you finally made it!

[@esherk5689]

Love the saltwater fishing vids keep it up👍

[@RiderofRiddermark]

Awesome! Simply awesome; Massachusetts is a lovely state. 18:20 That's a bass!

[@redsharkk1270]

Yo I am a huge fan! Been watching way berfore you got the Rv you are awesome keep up the great vids!!🔥💯

[@AlexetJosy]

Yes a 9 to 10 ft rod heavy power for sure! Also I usually choose a giant sassy shad 6" from Mister Twister. Were I fish this is the best combo!

[@betheflowfishing2620]

Love this man, living the dream, fishing, traveling the country, and spreading the good vibes, you let me know next time your in eastern mass, I'll show you were to bring that old town, all I ask is to let me go fishing with you haha can put you on a good camping spot too

[@ELYCompany]

always love the content!

[@nodayatthebeach]

I have that same rig. Smooth reel, I love it from boat. Might want something a little longer and stiffer for rock fishing from shore though. I know how tough it can be to fish here for stripers but sometimes you fight them until your arms and wrists hurt and you can't wipe he smile from your face ! Great vid to watch today

[@77celicagk]

Love this! Your youthful enthusiasm was fun to watch! Saying 'haven't eaten or sat down all day but don't want to leave' is something I bet many here can relate to here. I'm now on vacation in Caraquet New Brunswick fishing only the second time for Stripers and I caught one the most unconventional way ever! I was casting early morning and see a floater in the distance moving parallel to shore. It comes bit closer and after 3 casts I am able to hook into the old line. Fish takes off immediately and does some powerful runs and after a couple minutes I have a 25 incher on shore. No joke, crazy eh!! Tried to get the hook out to release it but unfortunately couldn't even though barbless (that's the law here). Person had used a circle hook (which I never use) and it was just too deep. So ended up keeping it and now have enough filets to easily feed 5 people. Another fishing story for my archives. Tight lines all, take care! 😊

[@Erwin838]

Those rocks are no joke. You need a good 10 ft rod. Makes it a lot easier to land them and handle them in the current. Great vid! I can hear the excitement

[@therealoggamer1428]

Yea Ik because when I go fishing for salmon and trout there is a lot of rocks

[@johnbowe4564]

I would go and use 12 plus foot rod but that is because i build my own rods and a long handled net or a pole net for the striped bass on flounder .

[@Erwin838]

@@johnbowe4564 i agree. But going from a 7ft freshwater all the way to a 12ft is a little intimidating. A 10ft will be more comfortable and a good starting one

[@johnbowe4564]

Well 10 foot for starters or 9and a half would do depending on your budget

[@nospoon4799]

Agree 100%.

[@Yat044]

Love you’re videos man

[@robbietomic3908]

love your vids man

[@soloshooter2235]

Glad you finally made it.

[@monkeybusiness1061]

Went on a fish for 5 hours didn't catch anything so I was a little down until I realised you made a news vid thanks for the good content 👍

[@Silocky]

I was on those rocks a few days ago! Wish you had more meet n greets while going thru the states. Love the striper content 🤙

[@Coltbro44]

Where is this

[@gathneybrandon3546]

nice littles ones lots of fun!!!

[@jamesmartin5639]

I live and fish in Gloucester all summer, love the vid and awesome seeing u fish in my area

[@nwerz-1022]

Love the excitement! You’re right about the blitz’s. Next time 9-10. Ft rod with top water plug 8-10 inch and same size for Sluggo swim bait. Reel size 3500 ishhh 40 lb braid 12 inch mono leader. Won’t loose that cow on a line break.

[@amd3636]

Nice video. I main shoreline striper fishing in Maine. When they hit, it's a blast. This spring was great for top water. Soon i will switch to grubs and sluggos.

[@pbhello]

Great video!

[@kingnone6656]

Moved to Texas from Delaware last summer. This makes me miss fishing from the jetty by the bridge on Route 1 to Ocean City from Rehoboth.

[@onedriftingboi7545]

LETSSSSS GOOOOOO NEW VID

[@evankolterjahn433]

Welcome to rockport man, great town with a great fishing community, rockport and Gloucester go hand in hand. Been in both my whole life and there’s great harbors and fishing spots in both

[@anthonyboniface7295]

North shore baby!

[@mikesoutdoors8141]

use like an 8'6 rod fast action medium power, perfect for those conditions and sized fish.also a jerk bait would work really well in that spot!!

[@NEfishingtales]

I fish that same exact spot in the fall. Man it produces some cows. To the left of where you were sitting near that big rock right before you get into that bay, they all just sit there in the shallow. Check it out next time, and top water would of slayed if you had used one. Awesome video, nice seeing you fish near my home !

[@Nbaeditz210]

Sick rod dude

[@FPS_Wingo]

If you want some great rocky shore plug fishing in MA look up Castle Rock in Marblehead MA. Always amazing fishing when I go

[@UNFILTEREDFISHING]

Plenty of places on Long Island to do some great jetty fishing. I know you've done Montauk, you should be using that same gear. And definitely Korkers or cleated boots on the rocks. Fall run is on now. You want stripers open beaches and inlet jetties are the place to be.

[@ftz_beast6747]

i was fishing that day and the amount of huge fish braking on the water is insane

[@MrAlex230187]

Love Going Rock fishing with my Pops We be going out to Rhode Island 🏝 areas I’ve Caught Black Sea Bass , Crappie , striper , flounder it’s so cool

[@sergioalcoleas3847]

Nice vid

[@alexandromendoza4575]

Lil late but Les Gooooo🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@nickbaer6584]

"There's a lot of water out here". Dude, it's the ocean, yeah, I'd say there's a lot of water 🤣🤣🤣

[@portgasd.shanks1648]

Omg hahahah 😂😂😂 so funny dude u should be a comedian 😂😂😂😂 😐

[@Moosachuetts]

Thats my hometown. Caught plenty of stripers off those same rocks

[@thomashost8397]

A 10 ft rod would be ideal for this kind of stuff, penn prevails are my favourite or a 10 ft ugly stick

[@Peter-zg3em]

get some korkers my man. they've got high ankle support, warm in cold water, drain super well, and they hold about as well as anything on steep rocks in the surf.

[@loganevangelista]

In hawaii we have this special shoes called tubbies im sure you heard of em but it makes it way easier to run and walk on slippery rocks without slipping. Trust me its way easier when youre fighting a big fish

[@novaday8813]

Will you be driving through VA anytime soon?

[@stripervince1]

Oh God he's a giant. It's a schoolie

[@fjlk32]

Great! I fish in Massachusetts and so glad you stopped by! Just curious, what lure were you using?

[@RomansTDM]

Looked like a yozuri or an x-rap, they are really good for trolling too.

[@amos61905]

Diawa sp minnow in chicken scratch pattern

[@Marcus_918]

Nice video! Should come to Oklahoma

[@offcialsam2777]

Jesus paid my ticket:) yours too!

[@kubslife]

You should come down to Long Island for the fall run

[@302FISHING]

Nice stripers Mike..way to stick it out....My Mom, Sis and Brother...live in Easthampton, Northampton and Belchertown MA....we're you on the Cape?

[@naqigardezi9850]

Yaaaay!

[@colehanson1388]

Try the cape cod canal that place gets insane

[@loganwise6775]

You should look into using bucktail jigs for stripers just pop them off the bottom!0

I would like to know where and the fishing point I live here in the region and I am looking for a place where I can fish?

[@kellysargent6196]

Do a vid on Martha’s Vineyard I’m staying there for a week starting today

[@manseraoutdoors]

Give some Suttle upward pops let it drop to the bottom pause then Reel with some more pops with swim baits

[@elijahpark7137]

Get some heavier gear man! Get those giants! Keep up the great work man!

[@joshuakim5902]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jimfinochi9829]

Vary your retrieves make some pauses and maybe some quick jerks and stops they tend to hit on the pause

[@donthornthatfish2444]

You might want to invest into a Heavier plugging/jig setup.

[@pujihepi3918]

Mantap kawan sportnya exstrim semangat semoga makin sukses

[@mossypalmer29]

You need a lot booger pole for those rocks like. A ten foot or even more

[@tomasaguiar628]

For sure need a 9-10 ft rod with 6000 size reel

[@markcross6864]

You need a longer rod, medium through action. I’d say at least 9-10ft. Daiwa or Majorcraft do some exceptional rods.

[@calebu3435]

When a fish is running and takes off just let it run until it stops, don’t try to reel, if is a big one and you do this it makes it more likely to break your line.

[@kcidfn5044]

Doesn’t this guy fish all the time? Not sure but I think he understands could be wrong though

[@joegrande4848]

Indeed, brother. This goes for all fish also never tighten drag more than 2 1/2 turns of drag as well.

[@Adam-iy6hj]

You're 100 percent right

[@AWR-ek1ht]

If it's in the rocks, don't you risk your line getting all caught and torn on them though??

[@1134JW]

I think you should come to canada😂😊😊

[@notsoeloquent]

Are you keeping the bed warm?

[@ikeeyes.GLO.978]

I am from the area, stripers give a great fight, even the small ones.

[@katotornado4312]

12 minutes late but I’m here

[@reelpiscator4271]

Try slowing your retrieve down w the paddletail

[@joegrande4848]

Try a burrito with a 1 oz swim jig, or a flutter spoon

[@johnbelmore1178]

Looks like the ocean drive in Rhode Island

[@tommyduchaney9306]

dude can you come to the canal early june

[@joeybearce49]

What rod and reel is that? I would like to get one.

[@silasroot6824]

How much was the rod and reel ?

[@rossrex9180]

Get a pair of korkers bro!

[@Jmas143]

10:25 what is that fishing pole your using?

[@joegrande4848]

Also a duh spoon will work well

[@notsoeloquent]

Could someone go there in the morning and get that poor micro schoolie out of that tide pool? smh

[@flynnellison9435]

You need to get a shimano Saragosa for the big fish

[@notsoeloquent]

100lb braid, 12 ft Penn heavy action rod and a rope to tie yourself down. It's all about preparing for that big one.

[@goblitzem]

what’s the exact location in rockport

[@drewkerr6966]

@FirstStateFishing that the back shore of gloucester

[@jorgevalencia1634]

What's up man I've been fishing California Aqueduct for stripers so when you see stripers jumping out like that yes they are chasing Bait fish over here we call it boils I've been sending you DM on Instagram hopefully you see it one day LOL keep doing your hard work man 🤙

[@AndrewW86]

I live in mass you need to go all the way down to the end

[@fishrideandski4910]

[@user-gh3lm6xv6s]

Wait, what? There's alot of water out there? How does that happen at the ocean.

[@thegamingdelta]

"The water is super clear" Me: I cant see shit captain

[@42Marica]

What type of rod are you using

[@FirstStateFishing]

Lews inshore speed stick

[@Harry-mj6rh]

Please more hard bait salt water fishing 😫

[@AndrewW86]

There is a fish shop near that area

[@rayrayfro4940]

Hey if you want your lure to go way out there he’s a drone that works for me

[@fishingwithyoboyash2049]

What’s up man

[@ughhhjijjjjjh8041]

Ok

[@jcoops4911]

Anyone know what combo that is??

[@knightfishing]

Lews inshore combo

[@Lycan_24_7]

Where spikes over your shoes especially on jetties.

[@yaboywynstan808steve_lj6]

I’m not an expert fisherman but I think doing small pauses when reeling in would be good

[@fishingmaxoutdoorvacationa9307]

Next time you should we go to Hawaii they don’t have fishing license

[@troll213z]

Yoo..! Think you have enough ads in this video..??!?! Lol good video tho.
