- This technique locates Striped Bass EVERY time garunteed. Never get skunked again!
Filmed in Raritan Bay NJ at the beginning of the Striper run. We trolled to pick at fish until we finally found a MASSIVE body of Striped Bass rolling the surface feeding on small Bunker.

Love the way you explained the way you troll.......love fishing.....
Hahah I think everyone loves fishing somewhere inside of them. Thanks alot and look forward to speaking to you in the future, never hesitate to ask any questions!
Nice vid bro, double Mojo never fails. BOOM!
Haha thanks man!!
Thanks for the tips,
Fantastic video, awesome stripers!
Thanks alot! I have yet to make one that im proud of but its awesome to finally get some feedback!
Wow great day love them Stripes
What a great day of fishing
Epic trip
Too dam bad I can't walk to this this anymore 😔
Holding the fish in its gills damages the soft tissue. You guys are good enough fishermen to buy some $20 fish grippers. Let’s go
Theres debate on this from the canadian research board. Bass jaws are damaged when you lift them from the lips causing trouble feeding and sometimes permenant damage with larger bass. The ultimate way to support a striped bass is by the belly and jaw horizontally, but even experts say that a proper gill plate lift to belly transfer is more appropriate than a jaw lift. In the end, the only proper way to handle a fish is to not catch them if your going to release lol. Second up would be net handling in the water and not lifting. Thanks for the input!
I make lures for a living and have often thought of making a striper plug that could be filled with chum or oil or crab meat....what are your thoughts?
Yeah you could do a plug and insert/glue a piece of sponge into the body, and then add a drop of oil every 30 casts. I have done this type of thing for many years and it is extremely effective. A drop goes a long way!
I’ll buy one
So wat size mojo would u recommend for about 30 feet deep i usaully troll about 4knots line out about 100 feet out mojos are not really used out here in CA on the delta.. also do they work in the sumer when fish are sluggish? Thanks
Mojos work all times for striped bass, even when they seem to be feeding on eels only. For 30ft you could get away with 4oz and 6oz!
@@ripptydevibes2581 thanks for the fishing knowledge! God bless
Awesome tip, have you tried the bubba shad in ghost minnow color? Optimum baits co. sells them. Pair it with Sakana Jighead/ matching color.
Thanks for the advice, I looked them up and that looks like an excellent bait. Im in need of a shad body order so im going to grab some of them!
nice man those are some fat stripers. never made it down to Jersey but I fish Rhode Island pretty hard. Just dropped you a sub
Thanks man! I did for you as well, looks like you have a nice channel going, look forward to checkin it out when I get a chance!
Nice. Try some striped bass at Smith Mountain Lake in Virginia. Top water thunderstick in June, July. Awesome feeling. Thanks for the video !!
The lake by my house, Nockamixon is the same way! Jointed or regular thundersticks as slow as possible in the night beginning May lol! I do look forward to exploring some of VA in the coming years!
@@ripptydevibes2581 Heres a few pic on my FB link.facebook.com/mark.sawyer.7792?ref=bookmarks At 1 time storm stopped making the jointed TS. Everyone around this area was in havoc mode lolol . Take care and good fishing
nice fish
Thanks!
THIS technique... meaning every possible technique. Trolling umbrellas, Mojos, jigging soft baits, hard baits. :) Raritan is the Striper Capital!
Yeah man that place is always stocked up on potential!
i like the technique. more interactive than just trolling tandem rigs. are you getting the umbrellas rigs down somehow? wire? thx
This is the Bay, so depths are mostly 30' but sometimes as little as 15' FOW.
We run mostly braid but also use two wire rods for umbrellas.
You can use virtually any line setup. I prefer a good 100' mono as a "leader" on any trolling rig, to "soften" the setup.
They make weighted lead swivels up to several lbs on lure making supply sites. Would be messing with them if I had to change a setup, because ultimately in MY opinion, straight mono carries the most benefits for trolling aside from its buoyancy.
A 3lb swivel and straight mono would mostly act at least as good as wire for trolling up to 60'
NICE! Any idea where I can buy those mojo’s in the smaller sizes for using in freshwater? Smallest I’ve seen are just 8 oz, like to find them in 4 and 6 oz models.
They should be available in those sizes just search. If not, then you can come up with some type of rig using jig heads along with lead sinkers to make up the weight but I do think you will find them in single rigs for the weights you mention, you can use two single rigs and tie your own double tandem rig just search mojo bucktail rig on google images.
I accidentally deleted your other comment on how far to let them out. I explain this in the video in the beginning. I let them out slowly until im figuring they are getting close to bottom in whatever the depth, then I will let them out free spool until I feel them hit bottom and I lock the spool. Then after they straighten out I do the same thing again to ensure they are right off bottom at the settled speed. Its a skillset to develop for sure, feeling them hit bottom.
Ripptyde Vibes 👍
Great vid. I use to fish there. Did I see you guys trolling double of those big bucktails on 1 pole?
Thanks! Yes, this rig was a "tandem mojo bucktail" rig. a heavy front lower dropper with a long length lighter weight "teaser" bucktail off the rear. The front heavy one gives you something to feel bottom with while the lighter one stays swimming higher off bottom to take the bite. They work great. For shallow water you can get away with a single bucktail but for deeper water, the heavy bucktails dont act naturally until you add the second lighter one as a teaser.
r the reply. u say lighter do you mean 1-3 oz ?
Use your judgement. For example lets use 50ft of water
to get any swimbait down that far while trolling, your looking at atleast 10-16oz to be sure its at the bottom. Then for your second trailer bucktail you can cut that weight 70%.
So for a 12oz bucktail I would then try about a 4-6oz teaser bucktail. As you stated, you can make any combinations youd like! The lighter the teaser, the more real it "should" look.
You could run an 8oz lead weight with a weightless swimbait rigged 6' behind
Your main bucktail is what determines how deep you can go, and the teaser just acts as a more natural looking lure to take the hit. They almost always hit the lighter one in the rear because it looks more real than the heavy one.
** You can also eliminate the heavy bucktail and instead use a standard lead weight. Obviously, using a bucktail as the main weight, adds to the presentation**
They sell these double rigs pre made. Just search "mojo bucktail trolling"
seen the doubles in the tackle shops $ thought they were just 2 rigs in a 1 package. anyway , thanks for getting back.
I do alot of summertime fishing for fluke,seabass etc out of manasquan , but I'm new to the world of striper fishing (only surf casted for them) would this technique work well in the early spring?
It is highly effective during both spring and fall runs. If you troll manasquan you will not often find results like this video, the fish are typically spread out as they pass Squan and only a few days per run they are heavily saturated there. What we do is we keep our boat up at a marina in Raritan for the spring run, (its cheap) then down to our Squan slip once fluke starts. The striper condense heavily in the Raritan bay during every run.
Where do you keep it? And what's cheap?
Mine is across the street from the highlands, but I hate that ramp
I forget, we used to just tow it everytime from our manasquan dock, but then he found a cheap marina that we were able to keep it parked right by their ramp. It was a sketchy setup for sure though. Just call and talk around, there are small marinas with their own tiny launches that work for boats under 28' that would rent you a two month lot.
You guys are so lucky to have a such a huge healthy striper fishery. San Francisco bay stripers are not even up to your east coast standard. On the west coast we are lucky to get 12 pound striper in the bay.
I never knew much about the West fisheries, but im sure they balance out in they're own ways!
@@ripptydevibes2581 l have fished the San Francisco bay and outside beaches. In the 80's 15 to 20lbs. stripers were the norm. 2019 the size min. 20 inches. I haven't seen a 15 pound striper in years in the San Francisco bay or out in the beaches. I have heard the Sacramento rivers has all the big stripers and they do not get to go out to the oceans because of the water turbines.
@@andrewvillanueva4222 What water turbines are you referencing?
@@emmanueldacosta5815 the Sacramento river has some type of blockage that kill fish. This is why big stripers stay in the Sacramento river or go into the water channel. Alot of Sacramento river water to to the central valley for the all the farms. Guys from Sacramento tell me they catch big stripers all the time in the Sacramento river.
@@andrewvillanueva4222 unfortunately this is not true. There are no turbines that block big stripers from swimming down the sacramento river into the ocean.
So you use braid with no leader?
I almost always run a leader when using braid
Nice Video
Thanks!
Your Welcome
R these mojo rigs for freshwater r saltwater?
What you intend them for! They were produced for the saltwater market, but also have a place for freshwater use!
Great content! Thank you.. What bait do you suggest would be the best for strippers? Could you please tell the brand and bait ?
Usually $1 tucked in their G strings
Soft crab & chicken livers
Cocktails trolin eels. .bucktails softpaddetails we ha go fishing
Where’s at?
what type of boat is that? my father is looking into getting one for about 4-5 people 6 max.
I think it was a 23' proline (sold). I recommend cuddy cabin if you like storage. Center console if you dont need as much storage and want alot of deck/bow room.
@@ripptydevibes2581 how much would a 23' proline go for (pre owned) this one looks nice. We are looking for something we can take a family with.
What size do you keep and what size do you start throwing them back?
Myself personally, I like to release all of them. If I want to keep one ill make it a small one. These fish are massively sensitive to modern fishing pressure and the fishery is nowhere near as strong as it used to be because of people harvesting.
Is that Stony Brook??
Dont know where Stony Brook is, this was Raritan near the navy base.
What type of lures are those? I looked on Amazon and did not see any. Next time please provide a link to them.
Where do you buy that MOJO BUCKTAIL? The ones I found were like $85. No way...
I got it at a shop in NJ. If you search, they have single and double Mojos, I think I paid like $30.
I just found the MagicTail Mojos at Tackledirect.com for $12.99 in the 8 oz. What size do you use?@@ripptydevibes2581
It depends on your situation. If your trolling in current and or depth (30-60Ft) you will need anywhere from 6-16oz. If your casting them, trolling inshore less than 30ft then you would be in the 1-6oz class. We dont cast them, we troll them in 30-70ft and use 6-16oz
I use bunker whole & chunks or eelss sometimes clam bellies chumand whole shucked clams my PB #52on clam I gave 20$ to deck hand of a commercial clam dragger for a large garbage bag full of broken clams,drifted away from him 8 minutes later wham pulled it in and then received radio call from capt. asking what old pajamas weighted
Daaamn thanks for sharing that story! I have had some fun times following the clam rakes around too, you can never go wrong! Eeling and live bunker are always my preferred but we often times are pinched into artificials since we travel from PA the morning of each trip.
If you're releasing fish, keep your fingers out of their gills!
Other than that, beautiful fish!!
If anyone has any questions about techniques please dont be afraid to drop me a line!
I did not catch what type of bottom you are fishing? Structure? Were you targeting fish that you marked?
How much did that trip cost 🤑
I paid about $60. Since we all pitch in, it is cheap for us to fish the ocean since we only live about 2hrs away. While the trips are always cheap, it is ALOT of work with our driving distance. Even our offshore tuna runs only cost us about $90ea.
I can get bass in a boat all day and I don't need all that stuff
You are correct! I could get by with a swimbait and walmart combo travelling the globe!
is it just me or is everyone stoned in this video?
Jump off boat when your done Billy🤣🤣😋😋
