Chasing Spring Stripers in the Jersey Backwaters 

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!!!

You sure put in the work covering many spots. Nice to see success with stripers!

Well done Billy Bass! I've enjoyed fishing for Stripers/Rockfish since the late 70's. And I can say that Chucking 7" Rebels, and Stick Baits is a young mans game. You brought back some good memories. Let me pass this along...underneath every Butt Ugly old Rebel Striper lure is a Solid Bone Colored Striper Catching Machine waiting to get out! A sharp knife will do it, just don't scrape off the eyes

Great video as usual. Each cast I felt like I was right there with you walking😅. Fish on

Cool spot to be finding keeper size fish!

Greetings from Indonesia, the Aru Maluku Islands on the border of Indonesia and Australia

Good job bro. Fish your way 🤙

Nice slot release.

Yes sir nice fish

I just watched your channel for the first time and it was good 👍. Also I subscribed for the first time. I will definitely keep a lookout 👀 for that Cape Cod video. Cape Cod is a bucket 🪣 list for me. Maybe one day. As I live in California. Take care.

Always sucks seeing the boats out of reach. Very familiar with that first spot. Good stuff just subbed!

No way I thought i recognized you at the bridge once. Great spot I live near there

I love the shore challenge you are doing. Love how you are trying different baits to see what they want. Love the catches and size of stripers. Can't think of any dislikes but will sure let you know if something comes up for better videography and such. I'm on the west coast and wish we have stripers that size or at least the numbers running along our beaches like the east coast. Tight lines buddy.

Is that crossway? Nice video man

Will you be going to jersey this spring cant wait to get on them do you have any advice for early spring probably early april

Caught my first ever striper the other day, hoping for some more action today!

Good spot

Thanks for the content. What kind of rod is that?

I would kayak fish all up in that spot !

Nice video

Hey Billy what is that st Croix set up, rod reel and line. Trying for a good lure rod set up. Thanks.

What’s your rod and reel set up?

Is that crossway nice video

Perfect spot for my flat bottom

They hit the SP but maybe they’d hit a sluggo or similar twitched slowly under the bunker. Might catch bigger fish.

Navesink is a great fishery

Great vidio, that one bass with the bite marks looks like he meet up with a seal.

Coming back this year?

I dont like using treble hooks much. I feel like its going to damage the fish too much.

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.

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

Where can I find that bait whats name of the bait

Drop the link for lures

Hey man I'm loving the content keep it up! Looking to expand my striper fishing grounds, currently im primarily fishing the hudson river. Im curious where was the spot where you mentioned that it would be a good camping spot @17:06?

im new to fishing the bay I would love for you to be my guide i would pay the fee you know your stuff

Yeah man that's a super secret spot. People living there their whole lives didn't know there were fish there. Now instead of three or four locals there's twenty or thirty kids there everyday. thanks.

Fish barbless, top water fly rod. Hang on, bring a lunch

Go back where you came from, I am sure the local fishermen must love you. The Goose Hummock shirt says it all.

Wow another vid of a guy catching schoolies on an sp minnow. Thank you for this great original content. Totally worth the spot burn !

I'll share this video with the locals

Dope nice day!

Spot burn city man cmon do better

Spot burning at its finest 👎👎...Another chill fishing spot is ruined- good way to wear out your welcome with the fellas...

You been erasing alot of your hate mail
