Thank you for keeping your videos clean so that I can watch them with my children.
I’m glad you and your children like them!! 😁😁. Thanks !!
It's funny the striper is almost as big a the dog nice catch brother 😀😀😆😆☝️☝️☝️👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🤘
Fun - these guys fish well together. Good job with only two poles out. Nice catch and release
J Rey Appreciate that brother!!👍👍
Always full of knowledge fish on...nice seeing Max on point
smokster0604 Thanks Brother!
Very cool you bring your dog.
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Glad you found some, they are few and far between in Maryland
That Dogs the best haha
😁😁
I like it better than a tandem and the 24 oz bounces off the bottom neat trick
👍👍👍🙏🙏
Mike totally unrelated to the video I just received my catch the fever rods oMG there awesome super nice quality , and can’t beat the price thanks and tight lines
awesome. You’re gonna love them!!
Big fan of you guys from Minnesota! Great video man!
Jeremy Brue Thanks Brother!!! Really appreciate that!!
Nice video captain
👍👍🙏🙏🙏😁
Awesome videos, thanks, any tips for a novice troller with no line counter? I usually drop to bottom start, adjust after a little speed to bottom, and then check occasionally to make sure I’m not far off the bottom.
That’s a pretty good way to do it, you can use bobber stops to give you an idea of what to go by. Set 4 of them 20 feet apart in different colors or even 2 set 20 feet apart can be a huge help.
How do you store your tandem rigs when you put them away and when you keep them on the rods between fishing spots?
What is the best trolling speed for striper??
Depends on the baits used. Generally 2.8- 3.8 faster than the current.
Started watching your Channel a couple days ago I did subscribe where are you fishing that you're catching 40 lb stripers. Thank you
We fish the entire east coast. Shoot me an email mikesmedley9@gmail.com.
Hey nice video, I would love to catch some cows like that!
Tom Pozsonyi Thanks brother!! Where do you fish?
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS I fish for cow at my local bar.
Do you guide or just friends, etc. I live in AZ but plan on being in PA this fall, so need guide
thank you for going though all the gear, and how you guys do this thank you !!
Captain Mike, what type line counters are you using? Thx
Would be an awesome time fishing with you guys only thing missing is some good salty snacks like smoked pork skin chips an lots of ice cold budweizer or Guinness with a bottle of Jameson👍👍👍😃😃😃😎😎😎
Oh yeah
can I ask where you guys are fishing ???
Sure. NY.
Do you keep any of your catch? Personally I love Striper. Great to catch and delicious to eat.
We have always released nearly everything. 100% of the big fish go back. We will keep smaller fish here and there, but mainly mortally wounded fish only in saltwater. A few small freshwater Stripers once in a while.
@MikeSmedley do you obviously use this while troll fishing moving 15 to 25 mph on your boat?
Your videos are awesome and must watch as we get ready for the fall run up in here on Long Island. Quick question...are the rod holders on your boat custom or did they come with the boat? I haven't been able to find the same set up online. hard to tell...but are they mounted to gunwale or inserted into an existing rod holder. Keep up the awesome work!
Kevin Sherlock Glad you like the videos!! I had the rails made. They slide into existing rod holder. You can get the rails from Joey Scruggs +1 (434) 907-1656. Tell him you want my pop out rails. I use these rod holders but any brand will work in the right size. amzn.to/34LwPGD
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS Thanks. Will give him a ring and tell him you sent me. The configuration to allow for "outrigger" and traditional rods is awesome. Nothing like it on the market and I see your crews using them when current is moving boat sideways. Awesome videos. Thanks again
I really love the rails. They are simple strong and pretty inexpensive. 👍👍
Great vid guys!
Island Outdoors Thanks Brother!!
Hi Mike, I like your mojo set up and pretty sure it will work here on my lake in Arkansas. I have a few questions though..... I'm real old school, like way older than you guys.... Threw a net for many years and have caught my fair share of wall hangers on live shad...... in recent years (due to my right arm being about an inch longer than my left from all those net cast) LOL.... I turned pretty much to trolling plastic swim bait type lures, free lining, carolina rigged, planner boards, down riggers or whatever it takes to keep my bait in front of the fish.... I have been rigging them the last few years on Alabama rigs with pretty good success.... A lot of numbers just not a lot of big fish..... Those good heavy duty Bama rigs are pretty pricey plus the cluster #!$@ you have going on in your dip net trying to get the fish out with all those hooks..... So I'm back to pulling single baits and thought I might try your mojo parachute set up..... First question I have... is crimping your 2 leader lines to the 3 way swivel really necessary? couldn't you use snap swivels coming from your lures to the 3 way swivel? As far as that goes is the 3 way swivel even necessary??? Could one not try using just a heavy duty snap swivel from your mainline and then just 2 way barrel swivels from your 2 leader lines??? I totally get running a lot heavier lure on your long leader..... Maybe the 3 way keeps them from tangling so much.... I don't know guess I'll find out..... Anyway you guys rock and keep up the good work.... I agree with just about everything you say ....... The only thing I don't like is when you guys are netting one of those hogs back there by the prop, for the love of god please kick that stern away from the fish...... You make my rear end draw up every time you that..... LOL....
Kevin B...
Kevin Breckenridge Ha!! Some great info there. Sure, you can absolutely do any of those things. The 3 way swivel really only comes into play when a Shad body gets fouled and the bait starts to spin, usually after bumping the bottom. When using lighter rigs in freshwater I use 2 barrels swivel instead of the 3 way. 1 barrel from main line to the Mojo and the other to the trailer but it’s not tied to the main line, but allowed to slide over the other swivel. This keeps the line from breaking on a double. The fish on the trailer can slide up and down the line without breaking off or straightening the hook. As far as bumping the motor forward, I always do that when we are using the trolling motor because I have the remote around my neck, but when I’m on the gas motor I’m running the camera and away from the helm so I can’t bump the motor. Good catch on that. 😁😁. Thanks for the comment brother.
Here ya go brother. Watch this from around 15:30. th-cam.com/video/suOqY08G1Fw/w-d-xo.html. Again, thanks for the great comment.
The motor is actually in neutral while we net fish so no danger of grabbing the net with the prop😁.

Why do you leave the clicker on when hauling in a fish?
Good question and I’m getting ready to do a video on that. It’s for many reasons. It’s good for the viewers so they can hear when the fish takes line. It’s mainly a tool for the captain. I can listen to the fight and hear what’s happening from anywhere in the boat. This is good for many reasons, but just a few; if line is paying out fast near structure I know I need to make an adjustment. If it’s paying out fast while trolling I will know to slow the boat down, etc. there are lots more that will be in the video. Thanks for the comment.
Awesome video Mike. How deep would you reckon the rig sits in the water column?
That’s something you’ll have to play with. Many factors contribute like boat speed, current, rig weight, etc. That’s why I used line counters. I’ll keep letting out line until I bump bottom then note what the counter says. I usually want it around 20-25ft down.
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS So, if I got this right, you count 20-25ft from bottom, is that it?
20-25 from the surface.
Where are y’all? Up north in the bay around the bay bridge hasn’t been that hot and looks like y’all r way south but would like to know where about to go
The OutDoorsMen Raritan Bay
Mike Smedley Thanks! Might have to make a trip up there since Maryland isn’t to hot right now with rock fish and I’ve been dying to get into some!
MIKE
Why do you need the line counter when you drop to bottom?
Also if your fishing 60 ft water and see fish at 40, what do you do to bring up>
We use it to stay on top of everything. Because we usually only pull 2 rods (sometimes 3) we want to manage them perfectly. If we drop them in 20 ft and then troll over 40ft that doesn’t help us much. We constantly change the speed and distance out until we nail it down. You definitely don’t NEED the line counters, especially when fishing is lights out. On a day where most guys zeroed they can make a big difference though. 👍. Good question.
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS thanks appreciate the quick response. Your videos are always on point and help me out all the time.
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS lol i was out sat, did everyting by the book marked fish all over and zeroed out.... pissed........south shore LI
WILL DEF TRY THIS. THANKS MIKE
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS
j k Thanks Brother!! I appreciate the comments!!
Also, I notice you are not using down riggers. How are you getting bait down?
I used downriggers a lot as a kid and got totally away from them for Stripers. I leave deep inactive fish alone and target staging fish moving shallow to feed. The Mojo rig uses one heavy chute jig ( the mojo) to get the rig deep and the lighter chute jig catches most of the fish. I rarely set baits deeper than 30 feet.
Mike, any specific spots/coordinates at the Chesapeake Bay for trolling striped bass around this time of the year?
The Migration isn’t there yet, only the residential fish. We usually start around Thanksgiving. I have been fishing the outer banks every fall/winter until 2005 when I switched to the bay and outside of a few years early on I haven’t caught fish in the same spot in consecutive years. It’s all about water temp up north and the push south along with water temps moving down the bay. It’s all about finding that happy water where bait and fish mesh. Locating that is 100% of the fight. If you’re going to fish now I would fish the CBBT that’s the first place they show up. I have a video called HOW TO FIND STRIPERS IN SALTWATER. it covers this exact thing in the bay. 👍👍
What type line counter do you recommend?
Nice work guys......may I ask, what line counter attachment is that? I switched from wire to braid and I need to get a few. Thanks and tight lines!
Did you ever find out I need to get some good ones as well
@@mitchbrittingham I did not Mitchell.
This is the one I like the best. amzn.to/3DAUAWe
What kind of rod holders(chrome ones) are those. I only have two rod holders in my boat and would need more but don't want to drill into my boat. lol
These are Ce Smith 1” adjustables. I designed the pop out rails myself. Joey Scruggs makes them. Give him a call.
+1 (434) 907-1656
Would actually need at least 3 cases of beer an at least 3 bottles of Jameson or 3 12 packs of Guinness with 3 to 4 bags of salted smoked pork skins yummy 😋
Mike,
At what speed do you run when looking for stripers on your side scan?
Side scan works great up to 15-18 mph if it’s not too deep. Water deeper than 50 ft slows things way down, but 15 mph is a good speed to start with. You can see structure going faster, but you won’t see fish as well
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS Thanks for the reply, you post great videos. looking forward to splashing my boat in 2 weeks. Striper run in my area should take off shortly after that.
Thanks brother!! I appreciate that! Let me know how you do, we are always looking for new spots to try. Mikesmedley9@gmail.com
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS Will do, just sent you an email. Thanks again.
mike picked up a couple of those Berkley line counters and cant seem to get them to ever work....
I know they should be so simple to use but am i missing something??????
Unfortunately I just recently got a few that were the same way. It’s strange they either last for years or quite in a week. Sorry.
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS LUCKY ME! Thank you for all of the knowledge you have passed on to all of us over the years......priceless!
Love your video's mike! Got a question if you have time, I'm having a Simrad go 12 installed in my new boat. What maps do you prefer to use? Thanks a good luck on the water! Ronnie
Ronnie Beam I really like the Sonar Charts Live on the Evo3. You can see the details on the screen to the right. It uses sonar charts that myself and others have recorded recently so it’s deadly accurate. I use a Navionics Platinum plus card. Unfortunately Sonar Charts Live doesn’t work with Go Series in the sense that you can’t record over your chart live. The card itself will work. I really like it, but there have been an explosion of new chart cards recently. CMor looks great, but is very expensive. The new Cmap cards look great too- Color contours. There are some great Simrad forum groups on Facebook you might also want to check. Kidcochiese just did a video on a card that has great wrecks recorded.
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS Thanks for the info mike! Keep up the great video's!
You gays the best 👍
Shavkat Ismazov 😛😛😛😛😜😜😜😜😜Ha!!! Love it. Thanks brother!
Mike Smedley 2 week a go I troll 1 h .i got 4 big ones .good luck to you gays .all the video 🔥.old school 👍🚀
Big as the dog. Sorry not a typist or writer fishing is what I do not writing 😀🎣🎣🎣🐟🐟🐟
Great video what speed do would you recommend for trolling Mojo / parachute rig
That’s one of the beautiful things about these rigs. Very few limitations. You can troll from 2 to 12 mph if you wanted to. We start right at 3 mph usually. If we go thru marks that won’t bite I slow down as we pass the next few. Drop it in neutral and let them fall. If that doesn’t work we speed up and jig them by hand. We Rarely go over 5 mph. But you absolutely could.
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS Thanks
Great to see u guys catching, I’m trying fishing in the Hudson River early season before I bring my boat over to Long Island Sound of course not enough time to fish but I’m going to try the mojos and see how they work in some of the deeper sections. How’s that sea pro run with that 350 zuke must be a rocket ship
ITS AMAZING!!!!
What rod are u guys using?
Mike McGrath Sr Striper Stealth Heavy and Medium Heavy.
Have you used these in freshwater? Wondering about deep trolling 30 to 60feet deep without down riggers
Absolutely. They work great. Just like the old Bucktail tandems
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS thanks. I ordered a set. Baits are 9 " so will have to downsize that a little but looking forward to trying. They fit my budget better than down riggers. I fish Cherokee in E Tn. Thanks for the info and Merry Christmas!
Your videos are killer
Thanks Brah!!! 👍👍👍😁
What do you mean when you say bunker??
Adult Menhaden.
Where can I buy those gunnel mounted rod holders
Amazon has the gunnel mounts. Need to insure angle type u need
Most are 1.5 diam
Do you recommend braid or mono for Mojo trolling and what lb test...thanks
Fedz84x I only use braid when the rod is in my hand at strike. Whenever I put it in a rod holder I almost always use mono. That stretch is very important. I use 30lb mono but we use smaller reels. You can go up to 40 with larger reels if you wish.
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS What reels you using now? For mono or braid.
on the simrad why does it look like a channel.
It was probably one of the river channels.
Probably would have to slow down to at least 10mph while doing this not going too to fast
Question
I have a go9. I cant get my side scan to work while my chirp is on. What do I need to do to get it to work? Thanks guys.
Hugh Hill Unfortunately CHIRP and side scan cannot work simultaneously on the Go series. You will have to take sonar out of CHIRP. I personally think 83khz works better than either CHIRP bands on that transducer, especially in less than 40 feet of water.
My really don’t need side scan Get the 2 d and d I to work the side is just another screen to look at while trolling everything is on a line trolling In other words it’s what u pass over is what on the screen
Those clips never open up on u guys?
Mike Barbee GREAT QUESTION!!! They WILL pop open sometimes if you use FIXED jig hooks. I only use swinging hooks. Huge difference. Rarely lose fish too. Thanks for the comment brother.
What rods are you using in the video?
Striper 22 The new Striper Stealth Rods I helped design. The Heavy Powers are perfect for up to 40 total ounces. (We used 34 oz in this video) The ExtraHeavies are great from 40 ounces up.
From rhe looks of that water, you must be in the Chesapeake Bay.
Actually the Raritan.
Is that a new model from accurate reels ?
Those are regular Valiant 400’s. Just custom Old School Black and Blue 😉
Nice 👍🏼..... where in ny u guys fish ? I fish on the party boats in sheepshead bay
Raritan Bay mostly right now, but we go all over from Georgia to Gloucester. Fresh and Salt. All Stripers.
What speed you trolling.
Anywhere from 2.8 - 4.5. Depending on depth and currents. We go a little faster WITH the tide. Faster in turns, and a bit faster in shallow water. But never over 5mph.
What line counter do you use
Shakespeare LCM-1. I have had these for at least 10 years, maybe 15. They still work great.
What rod and Reel you guys using?
Striper Stealth rods. Accurate Valiant reels. 400 reg.
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS What weight rods would you recommend for 32oz and smaller Mojos? Thanks.
What waters are you in?
Chris Golas this was Raritan Bay.
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS beautiful. I plan on starting to fish there.
Forgive this old southern boy. I have never striper fished before so I am new to the scene and trying to learn. I live near the Cali Delta in Northern california.
No worries brother!! Ask as many questions as you like. I’ll help However I can!
