Nighttime fishing for striped bass on Cape Cod during late October can be a dark and cold experience, and there are no guarantees you will find fish. The bass can be here one day and gone the next as they migrate south.
However one of the most reliable late season spots for me are Cape Cod's numerous inlets. And without a doubt one of the most effective baits to use at these inlets are live eels.
In this video I'll teach you how to catch striped bass (stripers) by using live eels at inlets. This video was filmed during October 2018 in the middle of the night on Cape Cod. I will include more information about the location in the members download available here myfishingcapecod.com/how-to-c...

"I'll text you a screenshot from Google maps" felt that 😂😂 definitely me
I haven’t caught a striper in a couple weeks but I enjoy watching your videos 👍
Great! Awesome to have you tuning-in
Watching your videos as im cleaning out my canal surf bag and 10ft gsb with an all-star 8000 reel! The poor mans vanstall lol itching to get back to those 40 pound fish eating pencil poppers
Nice!! Spring is coming, and so are the fish. I'm sure that All-Star reel has treated you very well over the years. Keep in touch during 2020. 🎣
Great video. How did you know where the current edge and hole you referred to were in the dark? Did you check this area out in the daylight?
Yes, I have fished this spot before during the daylight (which is always a good idea). Second, there was enough ambient light and light from my headlamp, so I could easily see the current edge and where the bottom dropped off. Thanks for watching Robert, and LMK if I can help answer anything else. 🎣
Beautiful reel, im tempted to buy the new tsunami saltX 6000 fully sealed retailing for 380
Nice Ian! I've never used that reel. Let me know how it performs for you if you decide to purchase it 👍🏻
That coyote howling at the moon was cool
I agree! I love coyotes and we have lots of them here on Cape. Some of the coyotes are referred to as "coywolves" and they get quite large.
@@MyFishingCapeCod woah thats a little nerve-Racking
Not at all! They are nothing to be concerned about in my opinion. Unless you are a bunny or kitten, lol.
@@MyFishingCapeCod lol i guess they are more scared of us then we are of them but still wolve size 😳
I saw a “coywolf” in Eastham during March a few years ago. It was an impressive animal to say the least.
So many inexperienced surf guys dont stun the eel on the rock and wonder why they reel back in a knot🤤
Yes, the rock trick helps a lot. I'm glad I'm not an eel!
U can use ice to ,to calm them down or no
When u drift the eel as far as your going to go, how fast do retrieve it? Do you catch mostly on the drift or the retrieve?
I'll catch them on the drift and on the retrieve. When retrieving, you want to reel the eel as slowly as possible without getting hung up on the bottom.
What is the best tide for throwing swimming plugs this time of year off the beach I plan to go at night but any other advice would be appreciated
I just replied to your other comment about tides. ✌🏻 We also have a lot of helpful information, and a helpful community of people, over on myfishingcapecod.com in case you're interested in checking it out.
couple of questions
can it be on any outgoing tide and is that north side inlet or south shore..thanks great vids
Every spot is different, but in general the outgoing tide is a good bet. There's more information on my website about the location 👉🏻myfishingcapecod.com/how-to-catch-striped-bass-inlets/ Thanks for checking out the video Jason! Tight lines! 🎣
Do you worry about them in the single bucket? I’ve heard they’ll die from the slime if there’s no drain.
I'd only be concerned if I kept them in the bucket for days on end, or if I had like 50 eels in a bucket then I'd be concerned. A dozen or so eels in a bucket will be jut fine, especially if its nighttime and not hot out. Best option would be to have a bucket with holes in it, just to be safe. 👍🏻
now question do you let the eel sink a little before reeling in slow whats the technique ty ?
Usually I do. Typically fishing the eel just above the bottom is best. LMK if I can help answer anything else. 🎣
@@MyFishingCapeCod ty i will try your technique
How u do or how u put the hook
I use a size 6 trokar circle hook, and I hook the eel through an eye.
how do you keep these eel alive if you buy them during the day and fish them at night?
The eels will stay alive easily if kept cool and damp.
What rod rating do you recommend for eeling
I use a rod that’s rated for up to 3oz, but I’d be careful casting. I do a gentle “lob cast” because most of the eels are heavier than 3oz.
Does that smack on the rock kill them lol, seems like it died
One or two smacks won't kill them. It will stun them so they don't curl up into an "eel ball" and tangle up the line. Keep me posted if I can answer anything else. Thanks for the comment!
I assume you buy the eels?They are expensive are they not?Thought I saw them at $2.50
I haven't bought any yet this year, but that sounds about right for the price. You might be able to find some for less. Some shops sell them by the pound for $9 or $10.
17:06 whoops, bumped your head there buddy
Oh did I? LOL. I'm lucky I didn't fall down. Those rocks were slippery!
@@MyFishingCapeCod lol I’m talking about the striper
on november?
This was filmed on October 21st, however I was out this week and caught schoolie stripers up to 25 inches, so they are definitely still around.
So how much do eels cost? Can they be caught via poke poling in the area?
I'm not familiar with that poke poling technique, but I buy eels for about $9/pound
My dads name is Todd...
It's a great name
You got those simms salt water boots?
Yes Dustin, I have the Simms Wader Boots
@@MyFishingCapeCod how do you like them? Did you put spikes in them yet?
I like them a lot, but no I have not yet put spikes in them
