Garcia Bend Fishing for Stripers 

Thank you Frank!

YOu should for sure. You will hook into more fish at least that was how it worked out for me. Been using the circle hook for many years now. I very rarely miss hooking them on the bite.

tHANKS BRO! I just saw your video, you'all crazy, but i like it lmao

Thanks bro! Its almost shad season 😊

Thank you Leng. I'm expecting to catch much bigger fish next month when the female stripers start coming up the river.

Thanks man!

Ugly Stiks are always a good choice. YOu should look for a fishing rod that is at least 8ft long and can handle up to 6oz weight.

YOu betcha! Increases your hookup ratio.

Thank you. I parked at Garcia Bend Park by the tennis courts area and walked to the spot.

Yep that's it bro. I rarely miss fish when they bite after switching to circle hooks. I 've been using it for many years now. You should try it.

@@calloftheoutdoors8941 what size circle hooks do you use for striper?

The carolina rig should be fine. What I use is something similar, but they call it a fish finder rig. As far as bait, I use mainly pileworms or bloodworms. I have caught these fish with chicken liver, nightcrawlers, sardines and even ghost shrimp. My best advice is to fish early mornings at sunrise or right before sunset until an hour or two after the sun has set. Good luck!

I agree with you Lee. We have lost alot of good places to fish due partially to the litter problem. But I also think that the department of reclamation use the "litter" problem as a convenient excuse to shut down places for whatever reason. That's just my opinion.

Both days, I fished around the evening time after 3pm.

Nice, how far did you walk. I’ve only been to that spot once years ago looking for some spots when I move back to the area

@@kaitsana11 I think the walk was around 15 minutes from the boat ramp/parking area.

nice catch bro .. 👍

@@MrELauj Thanks for watching!

I was using the 6500 on the black phenix rod and 5000 on the whisker seeker rod.

Hey Joseph! This is over at Garcia Bend Park.

Hey, this place is not at Garcia Bend.

@@vaj1983 It is still part of the whole park, but on the left side. Also, you can catch fish anywhere at that park right now so good luck and thanks for watching.

You know it! The grind of trying to catch fish at anytime really.

Roland, in this video I was only casting maybe another 10ft past the branch in the water that I was talking about. The water was deep enough so I did not need to cast far from the bank. My suggestion if your line is drifting too much in the current is to use a heavier weight or keep the same weight, but cast closer where flow is not as strong. Make your decision based on where you are getting the bites.
