Hello, just looked up East River fishing today, it's funny I'm actually sitting across from where you caught these stripebass between the the two bridges , I guess you were fishing on the Manhattan side by looking at the video
Best spot is the heat house at grand street cast or towards the end of the pier Wich is the old banana factory you will jug out 18-20 inch strippers also shop on delancy called Pacific aquarium you can get all your supply's there
The area you've fishing at is called Hell Gate and is the most treacherous area in the East River. Prior to the Atomic Bombing, the clearing of Hell Gate was the largest conventional explosion as those holders were left over from that explosion by the Army Corps of Engineers.
hey there, i am willing to fish on east river as well but only one question those fish edible? i made few research but i can not get any secure info. do you eat what you catch?? or anyone here eat these bass?
Can a 7ft Medium Power rod handle a big striper there? Like a 28 incher? just curious if I have to buy a new rod or just use my bass rod! thanks and great catch!
GREAT JOB DON!!! Awesome that you got out there and tried something new. Another thing to add to my list on my next couple of NYC Trips.. Remember I was telling you about all the guys fishing down in Battery Park.. You might want to head there next and give it a try..Cant wait to head back up again my friend!! Tight Lines!
Thanks Scott! I waited waaaaaaaay too long and it was a ton of fun! You and I will definitely get after em one of your trips up here!!! And I do remember ya mentioning Battery Park - will have to check that out for sure! Thanks again man!
They are a ton of fun, and there's some bigguns (I have yet to catch but have seen) around here!!! Equally though, I want to catch some of those giant Northerns!!! Thanks for watching and I'll check your vids out and subscribe!
Bass Man I've got good footage of some big Northerns for sure. I do have a buddy I met this past season via YT and we've been out fishing Lk St Clair a few times this year (one of the best freshwater fisheries on the planet). He has pulled some nice Musky and has footage on his channel (along with some good Smallmouth/Largemouth). His channel is Eternal Angler.
That's awesome Northern Mike! I will definitely check out and subscribe to his channel too! I imagine Lake St. Claire has some mighty smallmouth in it. A guy I know went to lake Erie once and said the smallies were biting so ferociously and he had caught so many that he laid on the deck of his boat - clicked the bail, let the jig hit the bottom and just the rocking of the boat moved the jig and they were crushing it everytime! I want one of those days!
Hi, nice video! I will be in NYC the next week. Can you just tell me if there is any chances to catch something in the hudson (left manatthan) or if I have to try only on East River? Thank you!
Thanks eLBarniO! Those stripers are a blast and was good to see you out at the Meer too - too bad the bass weren't cooperating!!! Thanks for watching and keep after em!
Hey there SBOS, I was WAAAAAYYY underpowered for a stout striped bass (perfect for Largemouth, and Smallnouth though), but I use a Fenwick HMG 6' 6" Medium Heavy rod paired with a Daiwa Tatula Type R 100XS. I also use a 6' 6" MH 2 piece (for easier travel on public transportation) St. Croix rod paired w another Daiwa Type R 100XS. For the spinning rod I have a 7' 0" Medium 2 piece Fenwick with a Shimano Stradic 1500 reel. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thanks Fishing Ham! I believe that would refer to how many rods are in use at once. I only throw one lure at any one time. I don't believe there are any laws as to how many rods/reels can be in an anglers possession. There are hundreds of thousands of bass fisherman and other (fresh and saltwater) anglers on boats that carry 10, 20, 30 rods aboard. I didn't find anything specifically on marine or saltwater, but the NYS site has this - Angling Angling means taking fish by hook and line. This includes bait and fly fishing, casting, trolling and the use of landing nets to complete the catch. Anglers must be in immediate attendance when their lines are in the water. >>>An angler may operate no more than three lines with or without a rod.
I couldn't find the info of fishing rods number limit on DEC's website either. But any saltwater pier or public fishing spots should have signs. I'll take a picture next time.
What Fenwick rod are you fishing? The spinning setup looked like it had the Fenwick eagle on it. Thx.

Great Vid! I have to get on some striped bass action!!
Thanks JBass! Definitely man! It's well worth the trip!!! Thanks for watching!
Nice vid! I’m from Brooklyn and curious where exactly is the spot at 3:00?
You need to use a buck tail that is what the big blues and strippers will take
Very cool.. I used to walk to the East river all the time and heard they were there but never saw anyone catch one.. And you popped 3.. Nice job
Thanks Ralph! It was really cool, choosing an area and then - BONUS! - catching a few!!! Thanks again for watching man!

Thanks BX! They are a LOT of fun!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I want to catch one of those so bad..!

SICK!!! I've caught stripers in the Hudson on a pier on 70th street. Great seeing you at the Meer on Sunday!
Thanks eLBarniO! Those stripers are a blast and was good to see you out at the Meer too - too bad the bass weren't cooperating!!! Thanks for watching and keep after em!
I've been trying this for years with no luck! Great vid Bass Man!
Thanks JB! It is a ton of fun when you find em, not so lucky today!!! Thanks for watching!
Hey don.
What rod and reels do you use.
Hey there SBOS, I was WAAAAAYYY underpowered for a stout striped bass (perfect for Largemouth, and Smallnouth though), but I use a Fenwick HMG 6' 6" Medium Heavy rod paired with a Daiwa Tatula Type R 100XS. I also use a 6' 6" MH 2 piece (for easier travel on public transportation) St. Croix rod paired w another Daiwa Type R 100XS. For the spinning rod I have a 7' 0" Medium 2 piece Fenwick with a Shimano Stradic 1500 reel. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Looks scarythere lol great fishing thanks for video
Just a reminder NYS law two rods per person in marine or coastal water!
Thanks Fishing Ham! I believe that would refer to how many rods are in use at once. I only throw one lure at any one time. I don't believe there are any laws as to how many rods/reels can be in an anglers possession. There are hundreds of thousands of bass fisherman and other (fresh and saltwater) anglers on boats that carry 10, 20, 30 rods aboard.

Here's a link to the map of marine water of NYS

Thanks again! Please point me to the information you mentioned regarding number of rods a person can carry when you have a chance. Thanks again!

Cool cool and I apprecciate you looking out for me/the rest of us! Hope to see ya out there at some point...
