  • Damon Melcho, Owner of Xtreme Bait Tanks and I hop aboard the vessel Leslie & Loren with our good friend Stephen "Whit" Whitney. He shows us what it takes to catch big stripers in Gloucester Massachusetts. We bring you along with us to show how we catch the bait and fish for these massive stripers!

    Great video brother! Definitely one of my absolute favorite places to fish. Big fish, crystal water, and no other fisherman.

      @@BoltFinAtics it amazes me every time. Even on weekends the place is empty as far as Striper boats anyway. Tons of moored boats and stinky Lobster boats, but that’s it. I can’t figure it out.

      @BoltFinAtics  3 роки тому

      We were on a commercial vessel for hire. Otherwise we would have had to use circle hooks. Rules are different in each state so make sure to check out what the requirements in your state. I have promoted using sabiki rigs in Virginia and then found that in some states there is a maximum hook amount per line. We always do our part to protect these beautiful fish so the next generation can have the same opportunity

      @@BoltFinAtics Oh yes you sure did. Love your video. Thank you so much. I used to take my daughter when she was young to the goat island bridge and fish for Mackerel and Squid every year they were running. It was lots of fun. I can't get enough of fishing. I'm so addicted. I used to live in Rhode Island as I was born and raised there and now I live in Michigan and go salmon trout and steelhead fishing. Those salmon are extremely strong. Lots of fun too. But I miss home.

    • @BoltFinAtics
      @BoltFinAtics  3 роки тому

      Hey there's nothing wrong with Salmon and steelheads. 2 fish that are still on my list to catch. I heard they were a blast to catch. Well maybe you have a chance this year for you and your daughter to make a trip back to Rhode Island and bring back some good memories.

      I completely know what you mean, but Whit's a good friend of ours and the technique he uses is a lot different then what we're use to. He's a really good fisherman that's just trying to bring us up to par on the fast track. Thanks for watching. We hope to have boat loads more videos to come
