BIG Topwater Gator Bluefish - SHARE the JOY of FISHING - Popping for Chopper Blues 

That is a good question. I am a bad example. I just go fishing when I want. I do catch striper in the day. Often. I like fishing in the day and working the water for a few fish to be had. I don't fish for points I fish because I like fishing but I know striper and how to find and catch them at a max volume if I wished so. Always put yourself on moving water if you fish the shore in the day. However, the best time for striper is going to be deep night or a few hour before into a few hour after sunrise. Favorable tides will enhance the bite often. Fish a tidal change a few hour before the high/low or low/high will give you a gauge which tide is better. Your just going to fish both ends of a tide. If your still not catching try the next tidal cycle. Tidal cycles will bring on a different set of fish and variables. If your still not catching you need to move to a new area. Your catch will certainly go up at night. Dusk is a great time as well and my favorite time of day.

They are great! I just like em right in the oven best - salt pepper and have at it! thanks always for sharing Chris!

Hi Tony some Tailors just for you! Thanks always!

Hi Maximus, yea the old hour before! I experience that myself! I really am a big advocate of just getting out and fishing when you can. If I have the time I go. But it is true sometimes you can follow the tides but then it switches, changes or just dies OR ramps up!!! Ramps up is useually the best! I found on the moons is when it changes things the most for better or worse. Thanks always!

Hi Jesse! It is thank you so much!

More fun then GraveDigger was having but that looked fun too!!! Thanks always James!

Fillet in half lazy keep bones on other fillet, salt it lightly both side leave in fridge for 2 days let the greasey oils come out before cleaning with cold water and then dry paper towel and fry it up or bake it, kids love it then.

It is fun! Sometimes it rally's back and forth and bait oh the bait love the bait I have witnessed it all! Thanks always alleykat!

Na, just new line

I do the same! Those topwaters are great you make some awesome ones as well wish I had the patience/time to roll out some

Hi Kenshiro thank you for the kind words. They were great and done good fishing this day. Very nice people doing what fishing is all about. Many anglers forget what fishing is all about. I try to learn something from everyone I meet. I find everyone has a unique interesting take on the water and something to share no matter how long, short, or how people fish. I have seen people catching fish doing the darnedest things. Those are the things I find the most interesting!

@Fish Your Way Your a great person not just a fishermen. When theres no fish for everyone, someone with the size 1 hook will hook up a 30 incher bass randomly and pull up side of jetti like it was easy, which i saw happen 2 weeks ago there lol. You right fishing is all about taking it easy and enjoy watching other catch big fish.

Thanks kindly for the words Kenshiro. I don't recall ever saying "fishing is all about taking it easy and enjoy watching other catch big fish," but that is a part of the experience and some good humble words. To elaborate on my focus upon how I learn these days in some words. I have found it pointless to focus my mind on the routine. Watching the routine gives a good broad vast picture of what is going on. One can now predict an outcome within reasonable limits. When one notices the out of routine - now you have something to learn and grow upon. Take the random, create a focus and add that to a routine. I love a routine, however I spent many a day a time outside a routine just to find other outcomes based upon following a random I have noticed. Then go back to the routine. Have to love fishing!

@@FishYourWay I agree 100%. And Thank you.

No trouble at all, alls expected when your fishing, thanks for the comment

You need 60lb leader if blues are around,those poppers costalot of money.

@@alleykat5188 will it go well with my 30 lb braid?

One thing you can do may help is remove that middle hook, no guarantee they still will grab the head. It is ideal but I lost one this day as well so it happens. I been using 30lb. That popper was 7 years old I think and caught alot before one took it. Alleykat mentions the 60lb that will help as well. I use 50lb when I am bait fishing and get most in but do get break offs. It happens.

Thanks for sharing alleykat!

You should be good to go

Super Strike Little Neck popper.
