Trolling Umbrella Rigs for Mid November Striped Bass. And another BUTT KICKING!!!

- In this video I demonstrate how important it is to be versatile when it comes to patterns and pattern recognition.
I start off fishing bunker schools just because it all looked so fishy. But when that yields nothing we change out the spread to mimic sand eels instead of bunker and push deeper to find different forage.
The switch worked....we caught well over 30 bass easy.
This season the slot is one fish per man at 28-38". This day we kept 3 and easily could have kept 1 more for the 4 person limit, but I'm not greedy when it comes to bass.
Check out the link below for some Reaper Crew Merchandise to help support the diesel fuel, bait, channel, and just cause they're plain cool!!!!

Thx Capt Chris another awesome video. Glad you give us a couple of the striped bass vids to show them off a bit. And boy you weren't kidding how the weather took a dump on you guys. Looked nasty.
Thanks again and stay safe. Reaper crew
You bet
Awesome video! That Dave Martin hull plowed those nasty seas. Ocean yacht!👍
Thanks Ox! She tries!
Man the ocean and fishing is the best therapy in the world hands down man great video 👊🏻👊🏻👍🏻
thanks so much !!
Nice video Chris! I look forward to the rest of your tuna chunking videos coming up!!! Next year you should switch up your spread a little in the canyons every now and then to target marlin and wahoo!! Would love to see some billfish for the reaper team 💯
Thanks Jake. Sorry...but I wanna kill all the tuna all the time!!!
Right O then!! Haha. Serious tho could watch that boat for an entire video just plow threw that weather in the end. Love it! Gets my heart going just seeing.
Thanks so much for watching Richard!!
Hey Chris, You reminded me of a 5 day trip to Black Lake, NY near thousand ilands, my son ran ran the boat and I called Capt. Chin Chin, we spoke a Chinese accent all week and drove my nephew nearly crazy.
Thanks for vids. In the process of making my own mojo's wish me luck so far so good. Tie ultra minnow jig for years my freind sells them at some tackle stores. Tight Lines.... Walt
Ha. That's great Walter. Good luck!
love it! I'm out on Montauk and Orient point, jetski fishing for stripers every weekend, even in the cold!.
love the vids keep them coming!
Whoa. That's awesome!! Thanks so much for watching
That sounds mint...you should make some videos of that!
Great variety on your channel. Keep it up.
Thanks as always Pete!
Glad you were able to get out and get them!! Gonna try and get them off the surf Saturday
Thanks for watching and good luck!
Please keep those awesome videos coming i love them
Will do Ronald. Thanks so much for the kind words.
Another great trip Captain Chris !! Any good reports coming from the Cape May Rips yet ? Thank you for another great video !!
Thanks as always Charles. I haven't heard anything from there in two decades.
Great videos. Keep them up. Curious what size umbrella rigs you prefer?
How you only have 6.4K subscribers is beyond me. Your channel is awesome. Still laid up at home and enjoying your channel.
It's so nice to see the striper populations so healthy. How was the weakfish this year? I know they're making a nice comeback too.
Thanks so much for watching and the kind words Bob! I don't really target the weakies much
Thaank you I love the striper vids!!'
Ur welcome and thanks so much for watching!
The bass been feeding on small bait for weeks up north..some nice fish mixed in. They were feeding on peanuts off the hook today. Mostly shorts casting around with swim shad and poppers .a lot of fun on light tackle
That's so fun Bruce!! It's tough to do the light stuff on a Flybridge boat.
It’s been a good year so far weather has kept me in the past couple weeks when did you film this video thanks for the awesom videos as always capt chris
Very recent Chris. My crew told me I couldn't give any exact details.
Thanks for the shout-out, Chris. They are flying out of the shop;-)
You bet
LEI to Absecon striper bite always seems like a small window. They are crushing it up in Raritan Bay as usual. You made the haul north and rewarded with a great day 👍🏻
Yea it's been a rough few years
awesome video , when i went out a few weeks back was trolling mojos caught a few big girls 40+ by Sandy hook tons of bunker we stopped trolling pulled out the bg4500s snagged and dropped bunker and lost count how many stripers we caught ... Tight lines
That's awesome!!
Good vid. I’ll be hitting up that shop for some umbrella rigs next week. Hopefully the boat is back in by next week so I can get in on the action! You fishing the “quest for the ring” out of the nugget next year?
Thanks so much Stewart. Good luck
Likely not on the tournament. It's not quite my thing
Love the videos Chris! Would love to come down and do some toggin! We’re getting them up in New York really good. I’ve been watching for about 1 year. Real nice videos!
Thanks so much Kevin! Good to hear ur getting them up there and thanks so much for watching!!! Can't thank you enough
Yeah! Those tog up here in New York are really biting great
Nice boat
I hope the fish don’t skip the AC to Cape May again this year. The bite up north is crazy.
I'm hoping too
I sure hope not. I like sneaking out in my little boat for just a morning run. But last year really sucked off AC
Great video....subscribed!
thanks so much!!
Great Video! Keep it up 👍🏿
Thank you! Will do!
The bite has been crazy near the seaside area. 17 fish last Saturday not much size but still crazy. Tight Lines.
Thanks for watching Colin! Glad to got em
Hey reaper.. i always watch your videos. I am a very new boater and enjoy jersey shore fishing especially the way you do it..definitely want to go out fishing with you charter boat this year
Anyway i really need suggestion on what gear i should get to troll on my robalo 2420 center console. Rod reel etx Lookong mostly to troll stripers blues etc
Really appreciate the help..thanks!
We are not a charter Carlos.
Thanks so much for watching.
I'll work on an introductory rod/reel setup video
Started trolling mojos this year for stripers but what do recommend to use for the main line as for as pound test and whether you recommend mono or braid n?
65 lb braid all the way
Nice video. Great day out ! See you tomorrow.
Thanks as always Ciro!
You're right outside of my Inlet. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get out Because of a broken fuel pump And it's like a 3 week wait for any marine mechanics around here right now
Aww man bummer. Good luck getting back up and running.
Reaper Squad, I would like to see you do a vid on your stripper setups ..... ie your Chesapeake rig with a lead Mojo on front with umbrella chasing behind.
Ok Mike. I'll try and show it. I just kinda came up with that idea actually. Usually it's duel mojos or mojo and a bunker spoon
We jigged some off nj and found some bass blitzing but if you wanted to troll I heard that trolling from west to East was working better than trolling north or south
Yea it changes from day to day in my experience. Sometimes it really does make a difference.
What rod/reel combos are you trolling the umbrellas with ? They look lighter than what I normally see.
Mostly our tuna chunking combos on this trip. Penn Fathom 40's both 2 and single speed. Also Shimano TLD 20s. I just bought a few new setups for this purpose that I'll go over.
@@reaperfishingnj8623 I use the TLD 20s as my primary reel for Mojos & umbrellas but for some reason in the video the reels looked smaller than a TLD 20 to me 🤷♂️. I’ll keep my eye out for the video going over your new setups.
Do stripers get measured by squeezing the tail tips together?
Pretty sure that's a yes. I try and error on the size of caution though. If close to not being 28 I let them go....and if close to being bigger than 38 I let them go.
Looks like the migration has made it in your neck of the sea
Finally!
Going do to AC this weekend, do you know any good tackle stores down there?
Good luck man. Plenty of great shops.
Atlantic City: Offshore Bait and Tackle.
Brigantine: Bayside Marina, Riptide Bait and Tackle, North Point Marina
Somers Point: Tight Lines Bait and Tackle.
All are awesome and my GO TO's
What do you keep your scroll speed on? Auto or slow?
I usually have it on 2 x speed but this day I had it on normal setting
It was like a duck pond out there😂
ha
What speed are you trolling at? Who makes your umbrella rigs ?
3-3.5 knots speed. The umbrella rigs are from Niners Lures right here in NJ/NY and the others are from Offshore Bait and Tackle here in Atlantic City made custom
Awesome video man, they good size?
Mostly 24-27 inches. We had our limit but released a few right at 28 or so. And two that were over 40".
Awesome video!
Man, I could confuse you for Mel Gibson. And I mean the Mel Gibson from twenty years ago.
Thanks so much for watching! Crazy because you aren't the first to say that
How many yards do you put the umbrella rigs from the boat
Honestly it varies with conditions. Drop them to the bottom then come up a few cranks. Every now and then find bottom and do the same.
Thanks for the video I understand the regulations but what I don’t like is what happens when somebody catches a new world record fish how do they record it.or if they are using live bait and gut hook it and it dies I can’t through a dead fish back sorry I don’t waist a resource
Read up on the circle hook restrictions.
When did you get an australian crew?
Ha.
Great video!👍Great content New Friend Here 😉🤙🎣
Thanks so much!!
Awesome video brotha little choppy for me but we did the same talked like Indians and I went to 7 11 and asked for cigarettes like that the dude kicked me out lol
ha.
what size hooks when you are chunking for tuna
gamakatsu 4/0 and 50 2x strong circle
thanks@@reaperfishingnj8623
Ocean Yachts. Sorry it’s plural!!
this year the super early bite has been key
2nd
Ha. Thanks for checking us out!
Measure the stripers you don't release please
We did Ed. Sorry I didn't share We made sure they were very much so within the slot. If they were close on either side they went free
show more of your rigging , we see plenty of strippers but not much attention to the rigs
Probably an unpopular opinion, but I did not find this video very exciting. I'm not knocking that you had a good day - but anyone with a rig consisting of 9-10 hooks is bound to catch something when it's hanging off the stern of a boat. Always found more excitement casting lures to try and catch them, but that's of course just my opinion
That did look pretty nasty out there. Video doesn't even come close to accurately depicting the oceans true condition. Only people who have been out there in it can appreciate how much it sucks.
It was brutal out there at the end of that trip!
