Chasing Big Migratory Striped Bass On The Chesapeake Bay (Day1). Big Jigs And Topwater.
Every fall, breeding sized Striped Bass migrate down the east coast of the United States, with a majority ending up my backyard at the beginning of winter; the one and only Chesapeake Bay. In this video, I join my father, brother, and a close family friend on a trip in mid December in search of the first wave of giants. While there weren't any GIANT fish, we caught more fish than we could count and managed to land a few over 40".
Remember, STRIPED BASS ARE STRUGGLING. While we caught a ton of fish, keep in mind that these are almost all migratory fish, most of which were originally born in the Chesapeake. A few weeks prior to this, many anglers were struggling to catch a limit of smaller resident fish at 1 per person from 19-24". Due to poor spawning in recent years, we are missing generations of smaller fish. Please remember to handle these fish with care, so that they can do their job in the spring and hopefully help replenish the stock.
I caught all of my fish on a FishOldSkool 9" OG Eel and 1 Oz and 1.5 Oz High Octane Custom Baits Jigheads. The Topwater lures were a 6" GameOn spook and a NomadTackle Chug Norris.
The rod I'm using is a Shimano Teramar 7'6" MH XF paired with a Shimano Stradic 5000 spooled with 40Lb Power Pro and a 30lb Seaguar leader.

In this video, I head to the southern Chesapeake bay in search of Redfish in late November. I had a great day with countless tailing redfish and big schools searching the shallows. I did my best to explain my thought process behind what I was doing and why the fish were behaving the way they were. I used the Pop-ShadZ, a soft plastic topwater popper made by ZMan, and a 1/6 oz FishOldSkool jig w...

Kayak Fishing Crystal Clear Chesapeake Bay Salt Marshes. Topwater Striped Bass
Переглядів 6 тис.2 місяці тому
The Chesapeake bay is home to some of the most stunning salt marshes in the world. On this trip to the eastern shore of Virginia, I found giant schools of 20-30" striped bass feeding in the shallows in crystal clear water. The fish were pushing baitfish up ledges, into areas of shallow water, and pinning them on the shoreline. Thanks for watching! Music Credits: Dreams Music: www.bensound.com/f...

    Funny how when you can’t kill them nobody fishes for them. That is the sole reason you are fishing alone. For the second most liberal state in the Nation you would think Maryland would be first in conservation. Sadly it’s likely the worst. The ASMFC and the State of Maryland won’t be happy untill they kill every single striped bass in the ocean. We saved ducks in 1918 by stopping the commercial harvest of them. No such thing will ever come for marine life. Oysters, Crabs and striped bass ALL at historic lows. In the case of the stripers the Charter boats are as much to blame as well. Where wildlife and money intersect is where conservation ends. All to protect a antiquated and dying way of life. Money rules though.

Every local guide is as booked as they can be. We just knew they’d be here, and got out before the crowd. I’m not going to argue with you on the commercial harvest, we don’t need to be killing the big fish. The slots too high for them and there’s no reason they should be allowed to kill fish up to 36”.

      @@joehawk9839 Joe, by that logic I shouldn’t target most of the fish that I do. You’re absolutely right, that’s what I would say, because I stick by science and fact. All the fish I’ve hooked this season have been to the boat and released very quickly, swimming off strong. I use the gear that I do to keep the fight short and the fish healthy. At the end of the day, there is 0 evidence that this fishery hurts the fish if anglers are responsible and use the correct gear. Go rain on someone else’s parade, I assure you that my opinion won’t change. Or don’t, I’ll take the engagement 😜

Check out Jane’s island state park, it’s a very common area for people to kayak fish in the marshes and will be a great starting point to learn at. I find most of the areas I fish on google maps. Look for some good looking marsh and the closest launch you can and get after it!
