went up to Hyannis 2 weeks ago! hit nothing but huge sea bass with this rig... thanks

[@newenglandoutdoorlore]

I was fishing for stripers and caught 3 sea bass 16 to 19 inches at the cape cod canal last week using chunk mackerel about an hour before high tide and up through slack. Never caught a sea bass. I was surprised they pull hard for their size. Thought it was a tautog at first. Unfortunately, I had to release them as they're out of season. I would of love to have had them for dinner.

[@reelsweetfishing]

great video and stories! What type of drift speed are you looking for with Seabass?

[@lornehargis2614]

Usually anchor or use spot lock on the spot

[@gradybrowning3976]

Man those are the biggest Sea Bass I have ever seen!!!

[@Steve-up7bd]

Can you provide the links for L.I. teasers and Jersey squid jig? Thank you

[@OnTheWaterMedia]

Here are the links for you @Steve232 teamhighhooknj.com/ols/categories/squid-jig-with-fixed-hook . Also, it's usually easiest to search backwater baits on fb and just private message Domenic backwatercustombaits.com Thanks for watching

[@marcosmarcos2913]

Where you buy swimming mullet?

[@Mknitfit]

This is awesome..in 2007 I caught a black sea bass 45 min off the Far Rockaway NY inlet in the Atlantic. It was 8lbs. Still the best fish I ever caught.

[@vsonic86]

Can you use these artificial lures to catch them from inshore? Or do you have to be on the boat?

[@LBINICK]

When u say "single lure" for bigger fish, r u referencing top loop jig or bottom? If top, sinker on bottom? Thanks

[@OnTheWaterMedia]

Just one jig on the bottom, no loop above.

[@marcosmarcos2913]

Where I buy ball fish like your?

[@Jigging-steve]

Great video but my teeth hurt watching it lol 😂

[@georgeniebergall7074]

Suggestion when showing people what you just did have someone hold the camera close so we can actually be seen otherwise I love your educational thing here

[@jedediyahaaronyisrael7118]

Excellent suggestion.

[@niltonpeche2714]

Can you give me the name/address of the people who mount the fish?

[@chrisbaco2835]

Might want to do that with a dark background so people can see what you are doing

[@2bros_1dad]

Good video but you can improve on a over view camera shot and show a better detail on knotting

[@joes3100]

Since when did folks start targeting fish. All my life we just fished and went fishing.

[@sluiceboyprospecting]

We go after certain species all the time always have.

[@isaaca2742]

I wish you would talk less about perhaps your sponsor and more about the action of the rod and how to properly jig them

[@fatguylilcar2278]

Beautiful rig horrible cameraman 🤣🤣🤣 jk

[@Steve-qo4hi]

Your teeth are not tools!

[@Cheech23]

I had replaceable braid cutters implanted after always forgetting my pliers 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@PaulyV56]

Speaks as good as Karine Jean Pierre

[@georgeniebergall7074]

Are you kidding me people are supposed to see you biting monofilament with a camera that far away in the first place wow

[@petejablowski2123]

Best tip , don’t use your teeth

[@WD-41469]

That dropper loop method is way too complicated, you can make this knot by simply keeping the center wrap open while wrapping the sequence from the middle. No teeth necessary.
