Just a guy with a GoPro who loves to fish. My aim is to bring you high-quality, immersive, action-packed videos that hopefully teach you something along the way.
Moved to Stratford 2 years ago fish the river and sound often. Like most people said beware of the tides! Most times you barely have anyone out which is nice.
Great questions. I spend way too much time thinking about this stuff. It’s really the currents created by the tides that lead to dependable feeding and ambush spots for the bass. And I wish the second part was easier to answer. It’s pretty situational. Inlets like this tend to fish well on an outgoing since all the bait in the bay gets funneled into a narrow pass but there are spots near here that are only fishable when you wade out near low…you just gotta spend time out there to figure it out.
BB strip set on the bite lift to a 45 degree angle strip hand out and down from the reel with just enough pressure for excess line to go out and palm your reel from the bottom. Excellent video thoroughly enjoyed it. Looking forward to the next. Good luck and tight lines.
Hi there Billy Bass. Will be at the C.C.C. early this yr. Maybe we'll see each other. It's only 1 hr. drive for me & I've never fished it. My boy skated in the Cape Cod hockey league. Driven over both bridges too many times to count so it's WAY overdue!!!
@haleconconjr9277 1 second ago Great video. I grew up stripped bass fishing on the west coast. I have 1 day to fish for striped bass on the Delaware River near N Camden. Any good suggestions for Jetties/parks/piers or beaches throwing soft plastics or light bait? Thank you.
Billy: you are so lucky you got back. Our Connecticut tides are as high over 8 feet during moon tides and many a fisherman have drown going out on river opening bars at dead low and getting swept out when that tide piles in fast. What can look like flat land on way out can have deep cuts or valleys on way back in. Good rule is to fish outgoing and head back in close to dead low. Then always safe. Glad you go back ok. We have all been there. Scary, especially when dark. I got caught on nearby Penfield Reef once 1/2 mile out when a thick fog bank engulfed my pal and I at night.
Not positive but it sure looked like you were hooking the rear treble onto the inside of the ceramic guide. Yikes, I couldn’t look away. Good way to put a crack in your guide and break your line off. Hook it to the foot of the guide instead.
I live across the river, u should go out on out going tide,more fish, bigger fish. But good content, nice to see you still enjoy it even tho u didnt get alot.
Hey bud! Awesome video. I’ve been watching all of your cape videos. I’m headed over mid May hoping to get on my first striper. I’ll be driving from Vermont. Any tips or general areas I should focus on that time of year? I’ll be staying on the canal so for sure gonna hit that. Looking to hit up Falmouth, Poppy and similar areas any insight you may have would be much appreciated.
There’s no such thing as a spot burn any longer. Just look at google maps on satellite mode and or NOAA maps. Those spots are so heavily traveled as evidenced by the vid. Here’s a spot burn, Graveling Point lol
This was helpful Billy - My buddy and I do a fair amount at the Deerfield and Millers - want to explore the Housi more and take our drift boat on it (often time looking for a 3rd guy for the 3 man flycraft - young guy able to help ) - we are out of the Lowell MA area
