How to use Planer Boards and floats to catch BIG Stripers. Raritan Bay NY-NJ

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ย. 2024
- This video breaks down our open water live bait drifting spread. We use Planer boards and Planer floats to pull live eels and bunker far from the boat. We use the MotorGuide trolling motor to control our drift.
Raritan Bay. Chesapeake Bay. Delaware Bay. Long Island Sound. Boston Harbor.
We breakdown a day on the water from soup to nuts.
How to start fishing, what to look for and how to present multiple baits to cover water and find those GIANT LONER STRIPED BASS!
We also welcome Brand New Team Old School crew member; Eric Murray to the fold. Many more BIG GIRLS to come my friend!
PLEASE SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE DETAILED FISHING VIDEOS!
THANK YOU!
GO TO WWW.CATCHTHE FEVER.COM to order the brand new Striper Stealth Striped Bass rods.
We had a hand in designing these beautiful rods along with some of the best in the industry. The Striper rod is often overlooked even thought it can make a HUGE difference in your fishing success, ESPECIALLY when targeting the BIG GIRLS.
A super soft tip and rock solid backbone means more hook-ups, less bait-drops and extra power getting big fish to the net.
The BEST PART?
THESE RODS ARE AFFORDABLE!

Love them rods! They have fit in nicely in every application! I havent had the opportunity to put a big fish on them yet, but super nice to see them handle a big fish!
TheMurrymaker they are very sweet. The only “unknown” was how strong the backbone would be. The tips are buttery soft (which everyone knows I look for FIRST). I knew they were soft goin in, but wasn’t sure what kind of backbone we would see on a good fish. You can see clearly in this video that the backbone shows up nicely about 1/3 of the way down. EXACTLY where I want it to be. You see the fish go RIGHT TO THE NET when he turns that rod over. Excellent product!
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS what were the specs of the rod you were using in the video (power rating, length, etc)? thanks
Fedz84x These were the MH 7-1/2”. The line ratings aren’t out yet but I will use these for all Saltwater Stripers
One of the best Capt! Look forward to your videos.
Mike V thanks brother!!!
Absolutely Awesome fish Mike! Love the techniques you covered! And Holy Cow does that Sea Pro ride smooth, even through that other boats wake! Awesome stuff!
Max in his camouflage gear....fish on.....team old school...
smokster0604 He is definitely one of a kind brother!
Cool Video buddy keep them coming... we are going to do some trolling in the Chesapeake Bay on Sunday I might uso some eels too. TIGHT LINES
The passion of fishing La passion por la pesca Thanks Brother!!! Let me know how you do, shoot me an email maybe we can hook up out there. Mikesmedley9@gmail.com
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS where are you fishing in this video? Are you in the chesapeake?
Joe Schwartz this is in the Raritan Bay.
Nice fish, good info
Thanks brother!!!
Great video as always Mike !
Thanks brother!!!!
Keep it up man. I love stripper bass fishing. Today I got a 28.5 inch (7lb 8 0z) at Rio Vista, CA. Keep doing videos. We will keep watching.
Lee Sirlee Thanks Brother!! It seems that fish are getting a lot bigger out there. What are your thoughts on that? What are the regs?
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS Out here the fish is getting bigger. I can email you and show you my catch from yesterday. I have your email. From last time. Size is 18 inches and up. The limit is 2 a day.
Yeah man. Shoot it to me.
Mike, can you give me a name, size or link to the glass beads you use.Can you use braid when fishing floats and planers is it best to use mono ..I notice you only use mono. Thanks for your videos!
Michael Helupka They are size 3 glass beads. Sorry I don’t have a link handy. I only use braid for live and cut bait and a soft tip rod. You will lose too many fish with braid. The fish drop the bait because they feel the rod tip with braid. The stretch of the mono fools the fish and they won’t drop the bait 👍👍👍
Going to try the tso floats for fresh water reds at the power plant lakes ...guides there use down riggers but think this could work with head on shrimp or live bait
S Lange ABSOLUTELY!!
Great video mike, which rod would you pair with a boss valiant 300 for chunking/live lining stripers? I’m between the new valiant rod, phenix and or black hole
Those rods are very nice, but I haven’t seen one with a soft enough tip. Stiff tips are no good for “rod holder striking” fish. They drop the bait quick when they feel that tip. Wait for the Striper Stealth Medium action. They will be less than half the price of a Phenix.
Mike Smedley awesome thanks I’ll definitely check them out. When will they be available?
ThatsWhatsUp212 Very early 2019. Sometime in January.
Mike what knot do you prefere to attach the leader to the line?
In this video I used Palomar knots to the swivels, but when attaching braid to mono or Fluoro I love the FG knot. It slides thru the guides like butter.
Nice Mike,what depth were you fishing?
We were skirting the edges of the channels avoiding the deep water. Fishing the shallow contours near the river mouths. Every fish came from less than 20 feet of water. The 38 lber hooked up in 18 feet.
MIke - can you use the Planer Floats with Bunker fish too? i.e., pogies.
Absolutely!
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS thank you!! what i love about your page is your response to your fans. appreciate it!!
will they work if anchored just with current?
They work on anchor if there is current.
Great Video , may I ask why the use of the planner boards with eels I generally fish eels with good results with some of the more traditional methods, But curious if they may be a good fit for me. What are the main situations you use them in , - Benefits Thanks in Advance
Brian burgess We use Planers a lot in freshwater to get the baits up into the shallow water without spooking big fish. We catch some of our biggest fish in less than 3 feet of water in cold months where the big bass can swim pretty much anywhere. We started doing this at the a chesapeake bay in December many years ago as a way to cover as much water as possible. We found that the biggest fish came off of the surface or at least the top 5-10 feet. We would never mark these fish on the sonar but the sand eels would be everywhere. We rarely use any weight at all but sometimes add a few split shots. It’s a great way to present a live bait AWAY from the boat to target bigger fish that are in very small groups and not large schools. We rarely have doubles. These boards and floats let us cover huge amounts of water while still keeping the bait near the surface. A trolling motor is great for this, but a good breeze can also work. A boat with a top will drift faster than the boards or floats. You can steer with the outboard with the motor not running. Some guys leave the motor running and bump it in and out of gear with a full spread of boards and floats. Try using 2 boards and 2 TOS planer floats and see how it goes. Add more lines as you get more comfortable.
This shows a closer look at the boards. th-cam.com/video/RG0PktUnUnI/w-d-xo.html
Brian burgess this is the Chesapeake bay where use Planers all the time. th-cam.com/video/_0NNh9H8fmo/w-d-xo.html
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS Thanks for the great detailed response ,should be a good fit for the Spring run here in the CT river almost exact conditions to your response .
Brian burgess wow. Yep sounds perfect. Email me if it’s hot, maybe I’ll come meet you. We did this in the spring with live bunker but bluefish wore us out! Mikesmedley9@gmail.com
