"What did Mike do?" Mikey being a "Salt water snob" (joking) . 😅😅😅 Us mere mortals are happy catching "babies". We don't have anything to rival the coastal fisheries. That's why I love watching your vids!

[@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS]

😜😜😜😜😜😜. I appreciate your support brother!!! I am an admitted BAIT snob for sure!! I personally won’t use “cast and retrieve” baits like paddle tail shad bodies. I appreciate catching fish much more on baits that must be worked just right. HOWEVER!!…… I’m not a purist! I’m If the situation dictates it, I WILL use whatever I have to. That includes trolling. I’m not above using baits that are catching fish, but I rarely troll.

We have been using mojo 12 oz bottom with small 9ers umbrella rig and been catching a ton this year highly recommend it

[@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS]

We would love to get up there and do some trolling or drifting with eels this year. We haven't been up that way in years since we used to catch them out of Rudee Inlet. We have also down sized our boat from a 23 walk-around to a 22 bay boat. I just don't even know where to start so if you could give a little insight on ramps and an area to maybe start. Thanks for all your videos and information!

Nice video thanks Bro!! Do use specifically trolling rods. I have Tony Maja trolling rods

[@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS]

I have literally hundreds and hundreds of rods, but I helped design these Striper Stealth rods and they are the best rod for live and cut bait and they have super soft tips for trolling spoons or mojo rigs.

Hey mike I truly love your striper videos... when trolling do you use the same rod when using mojos and bunker spoons...?

[@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS]

Thanks brother!! Yep. I use Striper Stealth MH for everything, but the H is good too. I tend to go a bit lighter than most. Code Smedley5 will save you a few beans if you want to get some. I helped design those rods and there really isn’t anything else out there with the same characteristics in the price range. I think you’ll really like them 👍👍

[@345Los]

Can you suggest anything for bank fisherman like some tips or baits I should use trying to switch it up thanks 🎣

[@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS]

Fresh cut herring or Shad or Bunker In saltwater is best if you can net it or buy it. After that chicken livers work surprisingly well. Fish near points or any kind of drop off or contour as land goes into the water.

[@afewgoodshad5235]

If you had to choose one bait for surfacing fish year round what would it be

[@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS]

Eels for natural and BKD, Sluggo, fluke style baits for artificials

[@TheMikeygee]

What makes it a trolling type day? When do you troll?

[@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS]

Great question. The shortest answer is WHEN FISH ARE VERY SPREAD OUT. We see them on sonar, but they are in small spread out groups.

[@TheMikeygee]

Thank you. Think we had that today in Raritan. I wasn’t the captain and didn’t look like trolling was on his mind. Went to Sea Bass. Lots of shorts but pulling in fish.

[@dankenney6257]

Mike great video! but i have a quick question if I'm using braided main line would I use a Palomar knot and tie directly to the 3 way swivel?

If you use a Palomar, tie to a snap swivel first than snap to the three way. . Otherwise use a trilene knot straight to the three way for braid.
