Striped bass fishing | surf fishing in Nova Scotia

[@josh_youngboi1741]

Where is this in walton? Is it private ?

[@Howwerelivingfishing]

Yes I accessed it from private property. A friends farm. Not an easy spot to get to from public access unless you drive in by atv at low tide.

[@OleksiiIsonkin]

Hey, nice spot! Could you please share this beach location?

[@Howwerelivingfishing]

@@OleksiiIsonkin this beach is only accessible from a friends private property unless you come by atv at low tide. It’s located in walton. If you can find any place to access the coast of the bay of fundy it’s worth trying I’d think. I’ve yet to try a beach on the coast there that didn’t produce at least a few small striped bass.

[@stevemacdonald2303]

We fish there alot

[@AndrewJames-ps2jc]

Really enjoying your videos. I just ust bought an ugly stix / penn combo and can’t wait to try it. Do you camp there? Where do you stay?

[@Howwerelivingfishing]

@@AndrewJames-ps2jc when I shot this video and a few others at this location, I was staying in a trailer on a friends farm. I was helping them maintain their crops because they were short workers and I thought it would be a fun experience and great fishing opportunity. It was right on the water, pretty sweet 👍

[@AndrewJames-ps2jc]

@@Howwerelivingfishing You are right that’s a great trade off. I’d be all over that too. Thanks for the reply. I may just camp on the beach somewhere.

[@AndrewJames-ps2jc]

How do you rig your mackerel? Just belly skin?

[@Howwerelivingfishing]

@@AndrewJames-ps2jc I try to mix it up a bit and use a mixture of smaller and bigger pieces. Usually I will basically fillet off a small sliver of meat off the side of the mackerel starting at the tail end and working my way towards the pectoral fins, cutting strips just big enough that I can fold it a couple times on the hook and make either an “S” shape or a “U” shape by hooking it 2 or 3 times. Sometimes I will cut a steak right through the mackerel and hook that on, especially on the skinny end. People say big baits catch big fish so i will sometimes try larger pieces, but doing this you will lose bits from smaller fish too. Using a sharp knife and having a good cutting surface helps when cutting the mackerel because once frozen mackerel thaws it can fall apart easily when cutting it into pieces. I will say that squid is probably my favourite to use because it stays on the hook really well, it’s fairly budget friendly, and the entire squid can be used for bait so it takes up less space and makes less of a mess. Keep in mind I’m also not an expert by any means and my way may not be the best way, I’ve just found what works for me through advice from others and my own trial and error.

[@AndrewJames-ps2jc]

@@Howwerelivingfishing Thanks for the tip. I bring a poly cutting board with me to keep most of the fishy smell out of my kitchen and fillet mackerel right on the water (hard on the back when doing 10+) When I make my second cut to remove the rib bones I keep that slice with the belly skin for bait and then freeze it. Just haven’t had a chance to use it yet.

[@hasirakbar]

Can you tell me some good location to cast for striper

[@Howwerelivingfishing]

@@hasirakbar blue beach is an okay spot but lots of places to get snagged on rocks. Anywhere in Walton that you can find a place to cast should be good. Find any public beach on the bay of fundy and try there if you want. I have never found a spot on the bay of fundy where I could cast that didn’t produce striped bass.

[@Howwerelivingfishing]

@@hasirakbar they can also be caught in a few river systems in Nova Scotia but you’ll have to make sure you’re aware of the regulations for the specific river system you’re fishing. Good luck

[@chelcbythesea9113]

I really liked the double camera views when reeling the fish in.

[@Howwerelivingfishing]

Good to know thanks for the feedback 🙏

[@stevemacdonald2303]

At walton

[@pingramnet]

You don’t seem to have a lot of line on your reels. Considering how that 20” Striper was fighting, are you concerned about a 30” Striper possibility snapping your line when it runs further than you have line?

[@Howwerelivingfishing]

I had to add more line after this trip was over. Yes I was definitely worried what would happen 🤣

[@Howwerelivingfishing]

I meant to add it before my trip but it slipped my mind

[@scrimige1729]

Nice bro, the go pro is clutch! And the two camera angles is a nice touch 👌 great job man!

[@Howwerelivingfishing]

Thanks bro 🙏

[@stevemacdonald2303]

[@HammerHeadGarage]

Really good fishing video man. Subbed ya.

[@Howwerelivingfishing]

Thanks I appreciate it 🙏

[@WicksKE]

Good stuff, man. Hopefully you're able to keep them coming once winter starts.

[@Howwerelivingfishing]

I’ll try! Thanks for watching 🙏

[@jeremyinthewild]

Nice! Hopefully you get a monster out there soon!

[@Howwerelivingfishing]

Thanks 🙏 I hope so too. I know they’re out there somewhere.

[@jeremyinthewild]

@@Howwerelivingfishing That's the best part of fishing, knowing it could happen at anytime!

[@MickThomps]

What time are you going out there man? I don’t know how the tides work around Walton and I wanna try get out there soon.

[@Howwerelivingfishing]

I go 2 hours before high tide. I check the hantsport tides online and go by that.

[@Howwerelivingfishing]

It’s just past high tide now

[@ramy6810]

Congratulations what’s the legal size you can keep it thanks

[@Howwerelivingfishing]

The area I’m fishing the minimum keeping size is 68 cm(26.772 inches) in length.

[@ReneeOrson]

Nice video. How much weight do you put in the rig when fishing in that current in high tide?

[@Howwerelivingfishing]

I like having a range of weights so I can change them to suit my needs while fishing. I’ll use anywhere from a 2oz weight to a 5oz weight because that’s what my rods are rated for mostly. If I can, I’ll use as little as possible without having my bait blowing all over from the current and waves. I don’t like having too much weight when I have to retrieve. The current isn’t that bad in the spot I fished in this video so I was able to use 2-3 oz weights I think.

[@Howwerelivingfishing]

Thanks for watching 🙏

[@ReneeOrson]

Thanks for the info, we want to try it this summer

[@Howwerelivingfishing]

Good luck 🎣

[@davidsheldonfishing9726]

Well done mate I enjoyed that fishing.

[@Howwerelivingfishing]

Thanks! And the GoPro wasn’t cheap I just got it recently. Worth the money.

[@natureandknives]

@@Howwerelivingfishing yeah they aren't cheap forsure if I bought one my videos would be 1000 times cooler ! Gonna watch more from your channel after 🍻

[@MainstreamAngling]

Great video. Man I miss the East Coast. I cant wait until I go back!

[@Howwerelivingfishing]

[@MainstreamAngling]

@@Howwerelivingfishing Oh for sure. Keep pumping out videos. They are amazing man!

[@Howwerelivingfishing]

@@MainstreamAngling thanks bro appreciate it 👊

[@alexisbrianpamashe3332]

Non stop action , keep it up you will get the monster soon enough.

[@Howwerelivingfishing]

Thanks! The first day of my trip was a lively one that’s for sure.

[@t.j.stonehouse5416]

My son Try lipin your fish like a largemouth Best not reel when the drag is ripping.. maybe try Heads for bait .bigger bait= bigger fish . Herring works well in the fall .

[@Howwerelivingfishing]

Thanks for the tips. I’ve found I never hook fish using heads. I find only using the fillets will get me bites and hook fish. I have to get in a habit of tightening my drag when I’m reeling in. I just don’t want it too tight if a big one bites

[@Howwerelivingfishing]

Maybe the heads just haven’t been presented to a big enough fish yet

[@tiktaktoe8424]

@@Howwerelivingfishing hooked a few tonight in the bay of fundy that were always taking the heads first and they were 19-22 inches in length, never had to set the hook either when they take that cut bait they swallow it usually
