- NEW YORK CITY - NY SALTWATER SURF FLY FISHING for BROOKLYN STRIPED BASS - April 2020 NYC. Time is stopped right now in the city that never sleeps - New York City, NY. However, the striped bass keep moving on. I went to look for stripers on the fly. I had a few hours to saltwater fly fish for striper next to a low lying Brooklyn bridge. It was a windy day but the wind breaks were perfect for my presentation. I decided to stick with a 3/0 Clouser minnow with medium eyes. I repeatedly flung, sank and danced the fly where I thought a striped bass per chance would come wallowing by. After about an hour of no signs of life the rod took a wild bend and here we go! This is a small snap shot of life going on in these NYC times. Please all stay safe and well. Have fun out there and we are always happy to share our experiences with all those around the world and hope you enjoyed the video as much as we did making it and remember always - Fish Your Way!

Dang! looks like a 90 foot cast! Very impressed.
Thanks as always for the kind words Theodore! I love fly rodding even when the fish are not biting. The way I see it at the least every trip you come out that much more of a better caster. Plus its fun, I kinda like watching the line, kinda feels like hitting baseballs to me.
"No fish is safe..." 😄 Glad you're out there giving those bass some excercise! Be well sir!
Frank
Some exercise for me too hehe, thanks Frank!
That might be your best video that I have seen.
Wow, thanks drewstyles! I have had better outings and better footages but as a whole I must agree! Thank you again Drew!
Fish Your Way I meant... the way that fish hit and that you didn’t expect much. Peace and love brother.
@@drewstyles3377 Very much so, all I had on this outing was a good piece of structure I decided to fish hard. If anything was around I thought it may relate to the structure and it worked this day. Probability was certainly not on my side.
Beautiful Brooklyn Bass..... hey that rhymes Jerry, great job.
Man, you guys always give me the greatest titles for the videos after I make em! Will have to keep in mind thanks John!!!!!
That is so awesome man...I was out 2 days ago and it the water was glass and I just so happened to forget to bring my fly rod on the yak with me and of course the bass were boiling top water everywhere...I have a redington 9ft 9wt that I need to break in on a bass...love your fly fishing videos 👍!!!!!!
That's awesome, still waiting to see them gurgling here. Its been cold so they been deep and slow the past days. A little more warming and it should be top notch! Thank you South Shore Angler!
Love you Jerry and all of your videos too! Im a Long Island guy and now live in Florida. Fishing not the same here, I miss NY. Thank you for keeping me connected.
Thank you Joseph! One of the favorite things i like to do its amazing how many anglers were once about the area and moved to be a connection makes it all the best! Thank you for the words watching and commenting!!! best 2022 to you Joseph!
Thank you Jerry. Best to you too!
@@FishYourWay thank you Jerry. Best to you always.

Thanks for watching and commenting, it is a joy even if the fishing is slow!
Nice fish Jerry was a nice hit !👍stay safe and healthy!
Thank you Chuck, trying to stay safe and well here. Tucking into corners and whipping the fly line around to keep a safe distance like a force field! Stay well your way Chuck and thanks as always for taking the time to comment!
Effortless water haul cast technique Jerry 👌

Stay tight
Mag

Veeeery nice!!!
Thanks!! Robert much appreciate watching and commenting!
Nice fish! I finally ate my donut with a 26 incher 2 days ago.....Felt good to have something other than a skate on the end of my line.....Be safe out there.....
Thank you Jean, its been cold and windy and seasons early should be some good action coming your way soon! Thanks for sharing and the kind words much appreciate and stay well and healthy!
I am allways impressed about your fishing so closed to NY. Flyfgishing in a harbour is really unique, catching such a nice fish makes it even better! Greets from germany
Greetings Robert! Thanks much as always and I know what you mean I feel the same every time!!!
@@FishYourWay btw: are you fishing a WF line? I mean, youre really shooting the line out! What kind of leader do do use? Simple 30 lbs mono?
Yea thats a 9wf floating line. Its a 3pcs leader Robert I like to use em longer get a few more yards dont hurt! Its 6ft of 50lb to 4 feet 30lb to 3 feet of 15lb mono plain berkley big game I like that stuff!
@@FishYourWay thx for the info! Really interesting, because I am always very productive, when it comes to knots in the leader... 😄
Sure thing Robert it lays out nice and straight rolls out well with that weight
Good stuff
Much Appreciate Jon the Fisherman! Stay well!!!
Cool vid waiting cor fathers day and we will hoefully go there.
Thanks so much! Much appreciate and early HAPPY FATHERS DAY with wishes for LOTS of FISHES and blessed days to and fro then!
@@FishYourWay what would you suggest for first time fishers, with lisenses, rods, etc
Nice 👍🏼!
Thanks! 👍 Lloyd!!!
Fly just a quick tip I was there today and the side you were on was where the action was to bad I was on the wrong side. And little more towards your left 😁😁
Sure thing, fishing is like whack a mole you just never know where they will pop up
@@FishYourWay quick question do you need a parking permit to park outside the last video you uploaded. The little area. I believe you do right
Yes, you do need one, they do check and I see them give tickets. There is a sign you can park certain times of year without one but it may be off season.
@@FishYourWay Thank I know you can get the permit and Floyd Bennet field but not sure where exactly.
At the visitor center but it may be closed now
is this off the belt parkway this spot??
Yes not far off of it
Where are you fishing in this video? It looks familiar but I can't place where exactly. I bicycle ride all over brooklyn to go fishing
Its one of the creeks off the belt by the new park they all are ok somedays
Great video Jerry. Nice to see you out there. I had one question. What leader did you use during this video?
Hi Matt thanks hope all is well your way in these times. Thats a home made leader I like using about 6ft 50lb to 5ft 30lb to about 4ft of 15lb mono. the berkley bigame but any will do. The bottom portion I may use flouro sometimes
Great video ..The sound was kinder low ..
Sorry about that sound gets tough sometimes! And THANKS much for watching and commenting really appreciate!
@@FishYourWay No problem ! It was still a awesome video.. Thank you..
Would love the opportunity to learn from you how to catch NYC stripers on a fly!
Thanks for the words faslax! Its about the time they should be about soon!
@@FishYourWay Just stocked up on clousers and half-halfs, going to give it a shot! Thinking of trying Roosevelt island
Oh nice! I never fished there but its gotta be prime please let me know how you do!!! Gonna have to fish it some day. if you have any deceivers bring a couple sometimes I find sometimes they hit higher or lower in the water and will take the sinking flys or mid running flys or BOTH!!!!
What kind of line are you using? I enjoyed your catch!
Thank you Bass Fly Fishing Korea much appreciate! That is a 9WFF standard cortland 444. I do a aggressive taper but cutting it down so there is about 2-3feet into the fat belly. It helps turn some big flies and heavy leader. Good question!
You make me want to get a fly rod !
Give it a go Richie Rich once you get the hang youll be hooked! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Fish Your Way another question where can I get one of those flys you have ?
Those are half halfs, white/yellow 3/0 hook about 6-7" long. I tie myself but you could get the half half flies at most any fly shop in person or online
Fish Your Way would you sell one or two ? I’ll PayPal you
Thanks for the inquiry Richie, I don't have any to sell at the moment but will keep about in mind for the future ok!
Jerry my friend you are an urban guerilla bassmaster
Hi Bruce, very cool comment much appreciate the words loved it and much appreciate! Stay safe and well!
Wow :o nice fish, nice catch Jerry!
Would you give the details of clouser? Maybe a video :)
Hi Cihan thanks for the comment much appreciate! I will try to do a video on the prime flies I like to work with when, what and why. If I get lazy on it just send a reminder but will get some bits in. That fly is a 3/0 half/half or deceiver/clouser. A clouse with a hackle tail basically. About 7 inches long. Medium eyes on it yellow deer hair on top with white on the bottome. Also a red chin and silver Mylar body. I will try to get that video done some time in the future thanks again!
@@FishYourWay Hi Jerry please see above. Someone use your icon to scam people
@@WeiK0 THANKS AGAIN WEI K! YOUR THE BEST I BLOCKED THEM HOPE THATS ENOUGH, FEEL FREE TO REPORT THEM AS WELL!
@@FishYourWay Great：）
I know is in Brooklyn but Wonder where exactly is this location if someone knows it, great content by the way ill love to fish there with my kayak
Thanks! Not far off the belt parkway
Hi Jerry, It looks like the fly rod was successful again. Glad to see you out again and catching a nice striper in the bay. It seems like the stripers are all around L.I. Keep up the good work. Stay safe, Mickey
Hi Mickey it was a nice slice of a trip could not ask for more. They are about but some days are better then others. Tried a few areas today and windy and cold. Was able to get some good line in a few areas but the water and airs temps seemed to drop and took the fish on lock jaw. Saw some folks with bait and not a stir either today. But it was a lazy tide may be a different story on the tide as I type! Thank you Mickey as always and stay well
Hi Jerry, Good luck and stay well, Mickey
@@1539Mickey Thank you Mickey, you as well
🔥
Thanks for watching and commenting ULUA!
Awesome Jerry! Do you think they’ll be Fluke around opening day? Thanks. Stay Safe!
Thanks BEEINGBAD, they should be a few about but hard to guess at the moment. If you start getting them as a bycatch now it should be a pretty good start. I dont exspect big fluke bites until july however thats about when i start fishing for them. Thanks as always and stay well!!!
Surprised you caught something here, this spot usually skunks
Sometimes, thanks for watching and commenting Robby
Need to pick your brain....what kind of fly line do you prefer for salt water fly fishing? Floating, sinking, etc.?
Hi South Shore Angler good question. If conditions are right I prefer to use the floating lines they are just more fun to use and you can do more with them per presentation. However if I am getting a steady (15mph) rod side to frontal wind or a condition that creates heavy chop on the water I will go with the sinking lines. They are thinner and cut wind and water better. It varies but I do like and prefer to use the floating lines. If you have any question as to what you would like to use the line for msg me anytime
Fish Your Way your the man thank you
@@thesouthshoreanglerfishing Much welcome South Shore Angler
Could I trouble someone to link to the tapered leader referenced in the vid? Thank you
Sure thing ST Richards, I tie my own. I like using about 6ft 50lb to 5ft 30lb to about 4ft of 15lb mono. I prefer the berkley big game plain monofilament line. They are about 7.99 a spool and you get hundreds of yards a spool and they straighten out nicely too. the bottom piece can get sorter when I change flies so I may start with 5ft and change when it goes below 3 feet and tie to the 30lb with a loop to loop. The 50 I nail knot on my main line a drop a bead of aquaseal and use a connection knot like a uni to the 30lb. they last a long time too like that
NICE JOB EARNED A LIKE&SUB
Awesome, thank you! Much appreciate!
hoping to get out soon , anything around the jones area ? most of my usual spots are closed great vid btw
I have heard of some fish but have not been about as yet so cant say on my own but I am sure there are some lurking! Were on the tail end of this thing so hopefully everyones access will be opening up soon! Thanks as always CP!
@@FishYourWay thank you, I heard west end is being used for testing not sure if this is true but hopefully this craziness settles down. looking forward to seeing some fluke soon stay safe out there !
Yes, it is closed at the moment for more important matters. When things ramp down I am sure it will be open. Hopefully sooner the better but for the greater good I can happily wait. Stay Well CP and thanks again
Hi Jerry ,How can I get to that place to try to fish
Send me a pvt msg via email and I will give you details
??????
Fish Your Way ?
@@FishYourWay want to go also
Why don’t you cook them?
Once in a while I catch a few of them so will keep one now and then
Can i do it with a braid line?
As a leader? I guess you can I always say what makes a great angler is one who can work with anything anywhere but would not be my first choice I would go for the stiffness of mono as a leader when fly fishing. Interesting question
@@BLINDGHOST555 I dont think it would get out much far the fly line is actually being thrown as you would a weight. Braid would be much too light to cast more then 10 feet I think
Much welcome!
Whats to formula of the 15 foot leader. Congrats on the impressive fish.
Thanks Theodore! I like to nail knot and cover with aquaseal so it slides through the guides easy about 6ft50lb and uni.surgeon or blood to 5ft30lb with a loop on the end. I then loop about 4-5ft of 15lb. The long leader really turns big flies awesome. I also so a aggressive taper on my fly line (9wff cortland 444) so I only have 2-3ft of taper.
@@FishYourWay thanks for all the amazing info. If I am understanding you correctly the front taper on this type of line is usually 8 ft, so you cut about 5 or 6 ft of it off?
@@ProstheticsandOrthotics So much welcome thanks Steve. Yea you pretty much got it 5-6ft, the front thin section I cut way down. About 3ft left first cut. Use it till it gets beat then I will take it down further next time. If I feel I dont like how the big flies are trailing on the 3ft section I will take it further. some lines I go right to the belly which in most case the way to go but always feels funny when you cut a new line any case!
@@ProstheticsandOrthotics I find I can really bully the flies around much better line pushes and not lags around so much. Small unweighted flies if your using #4-#2 on 8/9 your just fine with the original taper
@@FishYourWay thanks for all your help! I will give this a try for sure!
Lol I know where this is, this is not Brooklyn Bridge shhhhhh about the location, I hate how they made the fence there now.
lol, yea not exactly the brooklyn bridge :) Thanks st!
