Striper Fishing Pros NEVER MAKE THIS MISTAKE!

[@joegrande4848]

Thank you 😊 to everyone who shares information as it has helped be become better at fishing sometimes yes as funny as this may sound, consistency perseverance sharing information to help another or sharing to someone who does not have something to let them know they matter. These things can be also applied in life as well. 😊😊😊😊

[@mattsunday7929]

Mike , This is my first year chasing these fish and i have learn a ton of stuff from your videos. Thank you . " Finally putting some fish in the boat. "

[@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS]

Love it brother!! That’s awesome!!

[@kirkmartin2223]

We use those big flutter spoons in early fall and burn them across the surface. You can also add a 1/2-3/4oz bell sinker onto the split ring next to the hook and make them sink faster. I like the tungsten bell sinkers cause they are smaller by weight and add some clack to the spoon. Awesome video buddy

[@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS]

Great info!!! Thanks!!

[@joegrande4848]

Thank you for that insight brother that's what I'm talking about. I did not know this thank you so much for sharing. I'm always egar to learn. Someone who has experienced things I've yet to experience so I can learn incase if I did come across this experience. I learned a valued lesson it's better to have a skill an maybe just maybe not need it then to need this skill an not have it.

Hey kirt during the spawn season fishing a spoon on the surface working it a descent to moderate speed should work during the spawn 😃👍

I picked up a Kayak specifically to target bass and trying to use the same tactics you guys are using. I'm so addicted to fishing for Stripers, I can't sleep without thinking of them. Thanks for the vids team old school.

Fished shallow (16ft) next to deep water channels on the Chesapeake bay and absolutely hammered them live lining spot and perch the other day. Had a blast

[@claytonkr05]

Is the shallow water next to deep water pretty much a universal rule for stripers? I. E. Fishing in the southern lake that is stocked with stripers?

[@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS]

Yep 👍

Great video as always Mike! Love the releases!

Sick video Mike, you definitely have this striper game on lock, I’m out every night surf fishing in the Massachusetts area but the blues are comin through here in large numbers, gator blues an smaller bass nothin bigger then 23”, don’t get me wrong I love fightin bluefish but can’t wait till I have a few stripers under my belt this season, your makin it look to easy, your the man Mike.. I’ll be waitin on your next one 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS]

I appreciate that brother! we haven’t seen blue fish around here lately like we used to years ago. They used to be a real pain, but barely see them that thick anymore.

[@ronaldcrowell7465]

Mike, thanks for your sonar for dummies series. Was wondering if you could share some settings. I fish the Great Lakes and really having trouble tuning in my Lowrance. Fish is 20-50 Feet of Water.

[@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS]

Thanks brother!! In the descriptions of the dummies videos you will see a link for my setup video. It’s has all my settings. 👍👍👍

[@joegrande4848]

Best thing I can suggest is if issues with electronics is one cast per spot. Mix up retrieve speeds an pauses an occasional erratic action to artifical lures. Good luck brother stay safe God bless 😊👍🙏🙏🙏

[@willmccormick3679]

If you were to fish the bridge do you think there are more fish kn the pilings or on the rock piles

[@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS]

Pilings can be deadly when there is current, excellent ambush points, but rocks are great too when they hold crabs and baitfish.

Thanks brother!

[@matthewwhite3444]

I was beginning to question my strategy of fishing shallow. Here in Maryland, I've only been catching small juveniles. Nothing anywhere near the 19 inch limit. This video let me know I am still correct to fish shallow (that's where the bait fish are). Thanks for the vindication.

[@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS]

Absolutely! And even over deep water I catch bigger fish higher in the water column. Those 50-60lbers came just below the surface. Fish where the EASY meals are found. It’s hard for a Striper to chase an adult Bunker in 50ft of open water, but it’s much easier in 5ft. Of course, time of day and time of year matter. Mid day might be very slow in the shallows, but evenings may be insane.

[@hookdup1927]

I listen to your advice about fishing shallow . All I’ve been catching is dogfish. I think it might be either A night bite only or there is not A big body of migratory fish in my area yet which happens to be the Fire Island inlet ny area.

[@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS]

We mostly fish late afternoon- evenings when the fish start to move up shallow, mid day can be very slow sometimes, but if there are fish in town they will move up as the sun goes down.

Everyone make mistakes yes even the pros make mistakes that's what learning is about. If you stop learning even as a pro it's a problem regardless what your passion is. I am by no means a pro an will never call myself a pro. I'm just a man who loves fishing and am Always egar to learn something new 💯

[@timfunk5084]

Great video. Mike do you ever fish top water for rock.

[@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS]

I always keep a popper and BKD ready for breaking fish mainly. If we fish a big shallow flat like this I will cast randomly on top, but most fish come from seeing them break.

[@timfunk5084]

@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS I thought you would just had to ask. Thanks

[@larryhobbs8769]

Nice video Mike. Nice stripers. Just curious. Off topic question. What color is the motor on your boat? Black or Blue?

[@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS]

Thanks brother. It’s black.

[@steveriso3802]

Two questions bud, which rods are you using. Also what spoon is that. I hear you mention it but can not find it. Thanks. I appreciate your videos keep them coming!!

[@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS]

The rods for the Bunker are Striper Stealth MH. The spoon rod is an Accurate Slow Pitch 6’10” rod. The spoon is a Ben Parker Magnum. The link is in the description. I will also be posting a video in a few days showing the rods used in detail. Thanks brother!
