kayak fishing the local wrecks as blackfish season winds down
I was testing out barbless sickle hooks which I do like the sickle shape for holding crabs but I think the barbless hooks are a little too easy to come off as you may notice a lot of the fish come up with the hook half out of their mouth. I think as they swim hard away from the line it come out a bit so I think barbed hooks are the better bet, even though I'm trying to find ways to do less harm to these fish. The wrecks had much better action, so I think the tautog are starting to move out of the foraging areas. You can probably still get good action in heavy structure that is shallow but the spread out boulder stuff on the NY side is done I think.
If I don't see you guys again this year, all the best, see you in spring!

Fishing a tiny wreck for BIG fish in the western sound {Catch Clean Cook}
Переглядів 6 тис.Місяць тому
I find myself constantly being surprised on how there can be so many fish in a concentrated area at this time of year, especially when during the summer, the same piece is completely devoid of life. There were some very nice sized fish in only 35' of water but the structure was sticky and using super light tackle was a bit risky as you will see!

      @PeterRanieriII actually I subscribed yesterday to your channel, I saw a couple of your tutorials and one of a fishing trip and noticed that you have more DIY solutions in your kayak that I would like to see how you solved them. One of those is the couple of external batteries added to your GoPro in front of you...are you helping the connectors with something to made ther waterproof or at least weatherproof?

      @@araldf a great observation, yes I have tried to make the battery a little bit weatherproof by greasing all the connections with lubriplate 105 grease and then i wrapped the battery in a bungie to keep it secure but also loop the wire down so any water might drip away. its really not a perfect setup though I have had to buy at least a new battery every season as I get caught in the rain or the swell is just too much and it splashes the battery it will die but they are cheap enough these days only $20 and its worth it to me to have continuous video running on my trips.

    Great test, we're in the FL Keys fishing right now but hail from NJ. Down here we use the flouro leader along with braid to feel the fish and not have them see the line but when we used to go for big fish like sharks we'd always use mono for when they'd wrap around a bridge piling or go under some structure. The mono was tough stuff compared to any braid or flouro.

      @@longislandfish2457 this is the 2-30 larger wheel cart I know it’s crazy expensive but I had messed with many other version of wheels and these just seem to be worth it especially if trekking over sand. I actually don’t think the smaller wheel one would have the same buoyancy as this one and keep the kayak floating like it does with these. I say that because my friend Dan has the smaller ones and he’s able to push them under his kayak into the scuppers while the kayak is floating pretty easy when we get back to landing and I can’t do that at all

There’s a bunch of videos on youtube of people doing it, would that affect my balance on the water being that much higher you think? Thanks again

    • @PeterRanieriII
      @PeterRanieriII 21 день тому

      of course, and that is also a great question. I just took a look at that seat and it doesnt look too high, I think if you have good balance and are comfortable in the kayak its not going to affect the stability. But its a great question because when i did a seat riser upgrade to the passport it likely was part of the reason my dad flipped as his balance isn't as good and he doesn't have the same experience of being on a kayak a lot. So my advice would be to try it but test it out in a safer environment the first couple trips and see if its affecting your stability.

I usually will cook seabass whole on the day I get them and then filet and freeze in vaccuum seal the rest. And yes I always bleed any fish I plan to eat.

      I bought two of the medium heavy’s. My brother in law always uses it to fish same rod. It’s a do all rod. It’s sensitive so you can black fish/ fluke and has enough back bone to pull in over slot bass. When I seen him pull up multiple over slot bass 36in and up on that little rod I was very impressed. I figured I’m going to hopefully get my boat running again next season. my spare rods I let people use are very old and stiff …. I might as well give friends/ family a better experience.

      I like that philosphy, have heard good things about them too - just cant put too much pressure on them, but as a back rod for 50$ it looks like a great deal, gunna get one med-heavy. thanks for the head up man!

    Great video. Again you are playing with your drag after a fish hits. When you are reeling it from the bottom, fish takes the jig, and you never set the hook, instead you loosen your drag on it and lost the fish. Set it and forget it. If you have like 15lb line, set it at 7lb and is good enough for the trip. Kudos on releasing that striper!

    • @PeterRanieriII
      @PeterRanieriII Місяць тому

      Im loosening after I set the hook to reduce chance the hook pulls. not fishing heavy structure like from shore on a kayak you get more freedom to do this. if you notice on the striper i didnt touch it once. just my opinion but you should adjust drag based on the fish and your surroundings. set and forget it is oversimplifying

    Great video Peter, I need some advice/tips to void ruining my next trip. I fished the Western sound Nov/15th (breezy day, N/W winds) in my usual "hot spot" - a very rocky/huge boulder shoreline in about 9 to 15 feet of water (starting at high tide). I caught 1 baby blackfish. On Nov/3rd, same spot, all big blackfish. Are the fish all moving deeper? what depth and type of structure would you recommend so I can bring home some dinner next time around (before end of November). Many thanks - Gio, Western Long Island Sound.

    • @PeterRanieriII
      @PeterRanieriII Місяць тому

      Gio, I had very similar experience today fishing western sound Ny side. I even pushed into the 30’ range with spread out boulders and very few fish. The 2 wrecks I fished today in 45-60’ had much better action. I really think it’s very much area specific but if there isn’t heavy structure of tightly packed boulders then it’s hard to find them it seems in the shallower stuff. I would def go to wrecks or tightly packed boulders now, the forage type areas are done. Just my limited experience though still trying to figure them out like you!

    Hi Peter, Western Sound person here out of Norwalk. Why do you cut off the legs of the crabs? I'd think with them on the presentation would be more natural.

    • @PeterRanieriII
      @PeterRanieriII Місяць тому

      Hey keith, I just prefer legs off in the western sound as I feel the smaller fish can grab them and not be close to the hook, its also provides a nice hole to thread the hook when you cut them off. In the eastern sound where they could be bigger more aggressive fish, keeping legs on is probably fine
