Nice. So... you switched from the Kastmaster to the bucktail after you caught that small bass? Still just a little early up here in NH, but starting to see a few arriving.
Yeah I think I was trying soft plastics, then metals and when none of that worked I called the bucktail for help. That's wild they aren't up there yet, the big ones are just about out of NY already.
@@livenhfree Right on, its always cool to see the pattern change every year. We had a slow start with cold fronts but this years kinda similar to 2005-2010. Should only get better
Bucktail have been a standard out here on the West Coast,… all the hardcore Striper guys cast them including myself for the last 50+ years …,standard issue of veteran striped bass fishermen 👍😎🤙
You sound kind of disappointed in catching a striper. Carol burn that size I'd be happy with more so even bigger but I'd be happy with that one that was good eating size. Unfortunately the only ones I've caught were landlocked stripers. In reservoirs we don't get them down here in Texas. In certain parts we do but of course is there freshwater stripers. Still nothing to complain about.
@@BobAquatic yeah I've been over there a few times over the last month. Only pulled a couple. Full Moon this coming week. Though I haven't had much luck at that spot on high moon tides. Do you have any opinions either way on fishing the Full Moon in that specific area? Thanks
Nice catch n release. Thanks for the vid.
My son lives in Brooklyn he turned me on to your channel. Nice video i subscribe

Thank you!
New sub, I’m just starting out in the fishing world
Welcome! It’s a good group on this channel
Nice fish
Thank you phillip
Just in case... you should make sure youre not wearing waders on a kayak. If you take a spill, and you will, the waders will make you sink.
Hey thank you for watching! I am wearing a dry suit in this video
@BobAquatic great. You're living the life man.
Where is that beach at in manhattan?
Keep them coming.
Thank you Joseph, should have some rockin fishing on this moon

Some good fish dude.
thank you hope your having a good season
Can you disclose the date of this trip on the first part of your video?
Nice video, what size bucktail are you using.
I think that one was 1oz but I carry a bunch and switch depending on the tide
went twice to east rockaway inlet this week & got skunked twice. have you tried there yet bob ?
its pretty hit or miss for me too. The bait seems scattered, but it'll all come to life any moment
What line are you using? I had two blues hit me yesterday off Kismet and chomped on my line.
I think 25lb in this video, but if I'm targeting bluefish probably 40lb.
Thanks

Nah, I am grateful for every fish I catch. Thanks for watching
What rod and reel are you using?
@@BobAquatic what is it then?
@@fishingbeast1844 Penn Clash/ G Loomis GCX
What trailer are you using in the bucktail ? Catch ‘em up ✌🏾
What up Karl, this day it was a Gulp Jerk shad. But I've really been liking the jig strips this season, they seem to be working the best for bass.
@@BobAquatic can’t go wrong with the jig strips, or 6” gulp shads either way. Tight lines
Fat Cow Jig Strips
Welcome Back Bob!
Been waiting for your Spring vids.
Was this your 1st time out there at the beach this season?
I've been out a lot but its honestly been pretty slow. Haven't really gotten on a solid bite yet
@@BobAquatic yeah I've been over there a few times over the last month. Only pulled a couple.
Full Moon this coming week. Though I haven't had much luck at that spot on high moon tides.
Do you have any opinions either way on fishing the Full Moon in that specific area?

The fishing is slow this year. I’ve been fishing other areas to be honest
Damn bro put some line on that reel😂
I had it with me, I’m just being really frugal this season
A properly spooled reel will ALWAYS get you maximum distance on your casts.
What rod and reel setup are you using?
Could be a bluebass.
@@jennifergregory7461 sounds good Jennifer
how does it smell?
