  • @TrapHoundz
    @TrapHoundz 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    My late summer/fall pattern on the Potomac is finding a shallow bar that’s subject to a strong tidal current…bait gets pushed up and stragglers get washed with the current and stripers are usually there waiting. Jerkbaits or a popping cork/jig combo always works. They’re usually smaller fish but can always find a keeper in the bunch. Fun light tackle fishing regardless

They are producing a few Team Old School color patterns this spring. A lot is trial and error. when they are biting strong it doesn’t matter as much, but on tougher days a less flashy spoon will work better. Stained water I love the gold and the Chartreuse. Clear water I like white and chrome. Shattered glass is kind of a tweener. Works good all the time 😁

This link shows there are some available right now, which is awesome amzn.to/3rV743v. It’s the size we use too. Order the rods in MH or H if MH isn’t in stock. I like both for salt.

    • @MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS
      @MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sure, it’s because the slightest pressure they apply aims them directly away from the rod. They are always in perfect fighting stance. When hooked in the mouth they have to really struggle to keep aimed away, their head is constantly pulled to one side or the other turning them sideways. 👍👍

      That’s awesome to hear brother!!! You’re ruined for trolling now brother 😁😁. It’s hard to beat that strike and hook set in your hands. 👍👍

    Is fluoro recommended? Or unnecessary?

      I have 25lb Fluoro top shots on all my jigging rods (usually 25 ft long). Over 50lb braid. However mono is usually fine, especially in stained water, just don’t go heavier than 25 if you use mono. 👍

    Yeah! Just that simple! If you have a 20+ foot boat with a 12" contemporary sonar, and whole lot more.

    Love your videos, I'm looking at Stealth Striper rods and wondering which one would be best for bank fishing and casting long distance. Where in the water column do you mainly find stripes I know there are a lot of variables, temperature, structure, bait but just in general. Please keep making videos because where I am not a lot of people fish for stripes so good information is very limited. Thanks.

    • @krisbrown5322
      @krisbrown5322 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The right rod when it comes to casting is all going to depend on what type of bait or lure and weight you're trying to cast. The heavier the lure/bait, you will need a heavier rod to handle that. As far as the striper being in one certain depth over other depths, it is a loaded a question. When it comes to fish like stripers, they are top of the food chain in most cases. So they are going to follow the bait or stay close by the bait. So, to answer that question, I would have to say wherever the bait is at that given moment. Or where the structure is at any giving location.
