Perhaps the Best Striped Bass Fishing on the East Coast | New Brunswick 

“This is about as much fun you can have with your pants on” lol

Awesome video!!! You’re very fortunate to have shared this time with your Dad ❤️……. Thank you Rob!!! 👍🎣

Amazing, It's great. That you got to fish with your dad at 81. My dad, who was my favorite fishing buddy,would be 94 if he was still alive. Back in the 70s, the fishing was so amazing that my dad and I would stripper fish all day on the Coosa River in AL. and loose count. It is sad that it is no longer like this. Value and protect, defend these places. Life is short. Tight Lines.🎣

This is awesome its nice to see this fish get the attention it deserves! Awesome video!

This is great! I especially love the expressions on Mike Heal's face. You are lucky to have been able to have your Dad with you, Rob! Much Love!

Striper fishing is definitely lots of fun, but in no way compares to the Atlantic Salmon fishery that once existed in this beautiful river.

Best underwater by far for your channel! With so many approachable fish in the shallows I would have loved to be there to get underwater strike shots for you guys.

Great video. Preserve and protect this fishery with passion and foresight. We had this quality and quantity of striper fishing on the Roanoke River in North Carolina, but it has been a really down period for the last few years. Overfishing, especially commercial fishing, has really reduced our NC spawning stocks. We don't see near the returns of spawning stripers as we did in the late 1990's through 2010. Protect the Miramichi as if your life depends on it, because it does. God Bless and Tight Lines, Anthony Hipps

He says..."a whole ten mins without a fish" lol must be a great day when your talking like that, awesome adventure, very special to have your father there with you, thats bucket list things there!!! Well done

Wonderful video, salmon swimming with stripers….

Great!!!! Thank you for your continued level of excellence Thank you!!!

Good morning and welcome to another season on The New Fly Fisher!

You want striper heaven. It has to be the Raritan Bay, hands down. I live on the upper Chesapeake Bay and catch fish just like that here.. but the Raritan Bay is outta this world. This was a great video though. I really enjoyed it and this is really an awsome fishery. The natural beauty of this place is unmatched. That's why I would come here. But I'm after that 50+lbs class fish. Once you get one. Everything else is a big disappointment. Tight lines my friends.

What a great experience

What a great video! Fishing father and son! That’s great! I hope one day can get there, with my son!

great stuff , so fun!!

Oh we catch them over here in California Delta. Steak em up fry them with the skin on with some salmon and potatoe salad oh yeah baby

Bucket list for sure Rob.

Very cool Fella's im only sad I didn't know you where here I would have really enjoyed joining you ! The same waters your fishing are my stomping grounds might have even seen you on the water fishing a few of the days you where out. Glad you enjoyed fishing stripers on the chi , hope to see you back again :)

Amazing!

Get up to the Miramichi this year. DFO just released a program which will all but eliminate the bass fishery in the Miramichi!!!

Awesome

Just to clarify re hooks ... "The use of single barbless hooks is mandatory when using lures, bait and fly fishing in tidal waters. Anglers are allowed to fish in tidal waters with a maximum of five (5) lines and six (6) single barbless hooks per line. In inland waters, anglers are allowed to fish with a maximum of one (1) line and three (3) single barbless hooks."

As a kid in the 70s growing up on eastern shore of the chesapeake this is what it was like. It would be interesting to research the striper history up there and see how its changed over the years. It seems the fisheries are moving north. Im going to leave climate change out of the discussion but would be a great research.

Love striper on the fly

Good video. A thought: You don't need those streamer flies with the hook rigged to hang way waaay back. Bass are head hunters. Most stripers I've caught on 5" swimming plugs were hooked on the front treble...many would say the same thing. For flies, a short shank hook in size #4--1/0 for a 3-5" slim baitfish pattern works great.

Great video!! What size/weight rods and reels you guys using?

Many Maine and NH Rivers are full of bass

Dear Colin This morning I watched with great enthusiasm your newest segment covering what is obviously a wonderful striped bass fishery in New Brunswick. The anglers who fish those waters have it good to say the least. I was however dismayed with the fish handling and release techniques by the guide and the anglers during the five days your team was on the water. Although the striped bass is a strong species, they, like any fish, feel the stress of pulling against the angler in their effort to get free. This is especially the case for the larger fish that are also fighting current. They are a gorgeous fish and worthy of being photographed with the proud angler, however with the combination of being stressed by the fight combined with the inability to oxygenate while out of the water, they MUST be released quickly and carefully so that they can fully recover. Your hosts and the guide in this video need some instruction on proper catch and release techniques of these fish so they minimize all adverse effects of being caught. Tossing the fish headfirst into the water from an elevated position is bad enough, lipping the fish and flipping it 180 degrees backwards is even worse. These fish should be quickly released by the angler by gently laying the fish back into the water dorsal side up and cradling it, allowing water to run through it’s gills so it can breathe and regain it’s strength. For the larger fish the guide can slowly motor the boat forward while the angler holds the fish by the lower jaw so that water can run through the mouth and through the gills. Proper catch and release techniques of striped bass and any fish is a matter of respect and good conservation, and will help to ensure this wonderful fishery stays strong. My best, Jim Capt.

In the spring? Where are they coming from? They haven’t even hit the CT river in the spring.

What month did you go fishing for it

Great video. Question: Are the Stripers in the river in the springtime to spawn like those in the Mid-Atlantic states?

The bass are replacing the salmon in many rivers

On our next episode, join us for bonefishing in Rhode Island

Do you need a guide when none resident like for Atlantic salmon fishing?

What about salmon ,?? It was a very good salmon river but now with all those strippers .....no more salmo salar ..

Cool ,but east coast? Oh Canada! How about the US, that's where most of us live!

Really nice fishery. Thank you for introducing us to it. I was surprised to see the way you torpedoed the bass. Usually that’s reserved for Albies‘s and small tuna. My experience has been to lay them in the water and let them swim off. Little disappointed in the commercialism. Way too many commercials and commercial content.

Stripped Bass the Reason the Atlantic Salmon are no longer There.!!!!!!

If there Asian then striped bass is extinct… 🤣

I understand trying to establish business up there but calling that fishery world class is a huge stretch. You do realize that even Boston Harbor is more of a world class striper fishery. 45 inch fish wont even get bragged about and you can easily get sick of catching stripers. Block island Rhode Island is world class stripers.
