- It was a rather slow morning except for this fish. We bounced around some rocky bottom in the western sound but didnt find much. Some bunker were around at the surface but after casting around didnt work, I just dropped down the 5.5 green elias shad and slowly jigged near the bottom.

PHENOMENAL catch and video, beautiful bass, CONGRATS!!! MORE IMPORTANT, GREAT JOB with the compassion of the release. AWESOME!!!
Thanks!! Just thankful I got the opportunity to catch and release it :)
@@PeterRanieriII JOB WELL DONE!!!
Dang dude! That's sick, nice striper! Cheers from PEI, Canada 🍻
thank you and awesome to hear you watching from Canada!
Nice catch bravo
Excellent! going out tomorrow for fluke and I hope not to come home with a sea robin. Nice video, Peter. Greetings from Gio, western Long Island Sound.
awesome Gio, hope you get a fluke man, its been slim pickins out there with the bottom fishing lately
Nice one! Impressive to pick that up out of the kayak!
Nice fish!
Thanks!
Awesome fish Pete love to see it
Great looking fish Pete. can't wait to crack the 40" mark on my yak. Tight lines!!!
Thanks man, you'll get it, its a timing thing I think more than anything else, keep getting out there and it will happen!
congrats Peter
i was on the hudson river that same date up by Hyde Park, it was on
ohh yeah KB, wow thats pretty far up the river, how were you catching them?!
@@PeterRanieriII bloodworms & sandworms, I'm hoping to hit Jamaica Bay or the Sound thursday if weather is good
Cracking fish Peter, we get the odd big pollack that put up a half decent fight here in the uk, but those big stripers are something else. Well done.
I've heard pollack fight really well for a deep cOld water fish but I agree stripers they really are special, Im glad your sayig this to help keep it in perspective
Monster! Nice catch Peter! We leave for three days camping at Hither Hills, hopefully they are out there. 🫰🏻
thanks Ray, I think you may get some off the beach, seems they are moving right along. Let me know how you do, either way sounds like a good time!
Beautiful fish Pete!
Thanks !
Nice fish Pete
Nice job Peter
Thank you Ben, hope your getting out when you can too
Nice fish Peter 💪🔥👍
Thank you 🤙
nice one bro. chunking on beach really hot right now bass and blues
Oh yeah! its game on! I saw your video recently you had a nice one - looking forward to the blues moving over here too
She was a beauty
she really was
Yo nice fish Peter!
thanks Bob! I saw your video in the sound man, you are on them! love to see it! Seems it finally just turned on, was def a slower beginning of May around me
Slow start across the LI coast it seems
Wow! Now thats a cow!
Hey can you make a video on how to use the fish finder and what you are looking for to find fish I just got a helix 7 but there so much to learn.
Thanks, sure that's a great suggestion. I'll do my best to show the FF screen as much as I can and remember. I think it can vary depending on the area you fish but in general I'm looking for bottom changes in depth and looking for marks around those.
Peter,
Before I tap the thumbs up 👍 button to feed the algorithm monsters, I have a concern. So.... here's my keyboard coaching.
I've watched a hundred of your clips. My eyes immediately noticed a change. You are rocking side to side more than previously. You're in calm waters in this clip. But that isn't always the case. The trolling motor has raised your center of gravity. My suggestion? Since you are never in super shallow water, I would keep the motor as low in the water as possible to help lower your center of gravity and minimiz rocking. Also.... be very careful for a fish running across your bow. If your line gets into that prop without cutting the line, it will wind the line all the way, lock your motor up and you won't be able to unwind it until you're back on land.
Be careful out there until you get really comfortable with this new setup.
Nice fish.
Francus you really have an astute eye for detail. You are 100% correct that this motor is throwing off the balance a bit. Especially when I hit the spot lock and the fish started running towards the motor and the motor correcting itself to go in the opposite direction quickly it threw me off a bit there. So you are right there is def some getting used to this thing and I dont like it in the bow when im fighting a bigger fish. Im going to lower the shaft a bit to help with the balance but Im realizing now that it will be more in the way if a fish decides to swim across the bow. And your right if the motor is on spot lock the prop is spinning and if i tangle in that with a fish then im toast. yikes this is a lot to think about, I appreciate the reality check!
My prediction.... That trolling motor will be sold, and you're going back to your armpit troller.
Good luck and be SAFE.
Last tip/question. Have you ever watched clips on "deep water kayak reentry?" There's a simple technique. It might be a good idea to study up. My buddy tipped. Good luck he was with me or he'd still be out there. I coached him back on.
@@francus7227 I have a video on my channel of doing a re-entry (of course in water over my head). Its def something everyone that kayaks must attempt. I didn't struggle too much but I learned a lot, especially with regards to the floatation the wheels in the back provide and the amount of gear that gets in the way while attempting to jump back on. which of course this motor only complicates even more...but I agree i think this motor will have a time and a place but it may not end up being what I take out the most often.

Here's my SHORTEST reply, ever....
Okay.
Nice stripa, my shoulder would be killing me if I try to lift it just for a selfie 🎣
lol it was heavy sticking it out for the pic, thanks yayo
Where did u go fishing
Nice catch, Peter. I bet you would get a slot size stripper if using a smaller lure 😆.
Joke aside, a lot of strip bass sold in grocery stores are not within slot size. I am always wondering whether commercial fishing are regulated with far loosen standard or they are caught out of NY jurisdiction.
yooo! haha , its possible there were smaller fish closer to the surface too...i think the commercial harvest is much less stringent than recreational. looks like according to the NYDEC website they can be 26"-38" ? dec.ny.gov/things-to-do/saltwater-fishing/commercial/harvest-limits
I think they are allowed a certain number of tags per year, but I think they are allowed bigger fish than we are.
Great bass! Were you marking fish prior to hook up?
thanks Paul, not really. We saw a few marks higher in the water column but I didn't really see anything on the bottom. My guess this fish was staging practically on the bottom behind a rock or something and didnt show on the sonar
Hi. Apologies if I missed it somewhere - trolling motor mount stern or bow? Comments?
I put a mount on both stern and bow. Still testing it out both places for different scenarios. I like the stern for anchoring in current so far and the bow for more wind but the bow gets more in the way. I think the stern location is a little faster too...
How did you mount your trolling motor on the bow? I have a compass as well and have been scratching my head on how to do this.
I have the “how to” video coming soon, editing it right now. Was not easy, I essentially made something similar to a PA bow mount using 1” cutting board as the material but carving the support pieces around that curve was so time consuming. You’ll see soon but I couldn’t think of any other way lol
@@PeterRanieriII That bump on the bow makes it tough. Looking forward to the video
how you find those glassy conditions?
windfinder.com? I just really try to only go farther out when the wind is favorable ya know
Where is this
This is in the western sound
NY
I catch plenty of stripers without the need of sauce on my lures. Amateurs....
then you are better than me, I need all the help I can get, lol
Under filled reel 🤢
Truth!
