Ive watched this video 1000 times. It's top 5 for canal videos and I wish you'd come back this season! lol So many 40-50 inch fish. Would enjoy the hell out of a new video.
revisiting your page after going to the Cape for the first time this year.... I skunked while all around me caught but was a great trip non the less... I kept asking my host for spots like this but wasn't at any of these places... I dreamed of fishing with this scenery Hopefully I'll get to it once I figure out where this it... As always... Superb videos and commentary... I strive to have your Cadence in Striper fishing... Tight Lines - Fish On ! --- OFD
Thank you very much! Wish I had more time this year to fish and make more videos. But don't be surprised, the fishing at the canal has become more difficult, especially with the increasing number of seals and striper predators. I've fished all ends and almost every curve of the canal. Its all about planning for the next ride, is the best tip I can give you. Before the start of a season, plan out the best tide of each month, then the weeks and days your available to fish. FishOn! FishKing!
Only 45 minutes from my hometown I used to love the thrill of catching stripers from the canal - on lures. I still fish locally in ponds and lakes in my area but the canal was a special spot where I got to know where to go and when. If you get that info you'll have a fun time!
Wow a lot of great action. I fished the cape cod for the first time recently and fell in love. 6 fish 4 of them all over 33. Hope to catch an other blitz. I dropped a sub. Keep fishing! 🤙
Thanks brotha! It is a great time. Definitely a different fishing experience. I recently caught a 42" but been so busy, haven't had time to make any videos. But best of luck out there! Be safe!
Awesome video! Hey what a coincidence, I was the guy on your right that morning. I was live lining Macks. What a morning. I heard the blitz lasted all day that day!!!
very happy to see others concered for the welfare of the fishery. i hate seeing big fish floating down the canal because people dont know what they are doing. also a big fan of those single hooks on plugs, makes life easy for me and the fish. great work
@@staytight6340 Ive gotten two 50s and quite a few 40s from the surf... You? sorry if I came off as a dick I just been fishing since I was a baby over 40y and social media has killed it specially on the Cape these videos make it seem like it's easy to fish the canal so you got rookies that just happen to drive by and see people catching the next they're in waders with a Van Stall and a legend acting like Bill Dance with no fishing experience no etiquette and just basically entitled assholes or even worse the dummy's that get a free lure or a hat and tee and now are "pro staff" because they seen on FB or got a call and walked in on a blitz caught a fish now know everything so so jackass in the basement making lures gives them one and tell they're on the "pro staff" it's just crazy smh
Thanks for the support bro! Yeah it's a great honey hole! If you haven't experienced the cape then you definitely need to! And if you have then come again!
Don’t let those Kiwis find out you said that CTS rods were made in Australia haha! This is legitimately one of the best canal fishing videos I’ve seen in terms of editing, quality, your aggressive fish fighting style (proper hook sets, form on point, staying tight), gear choices etc. Couple of tips....despite the fact that you said what gear you were using, most people have the attention span of a bedroom slipper....just list the gear at the beginning of the video on the screen and leave a list in the description.....and not just your rod, reel, line and leader.....everything from your belt, bag, what lures, footwear, casting glove, waders (Dryft Primos 😉, got em, love em). You’ll save a ton of the “what setup is that??” Questions lol....The 5500 Expo is good for 33 pounds of drag for those asking. And I’ve found that 12 pounds of drag seems to be pretty solid in the canal. Once I push past 15 pounds and you factor in the current creating a ton of drag in itself, hooks start to open up (unless 6x or better) wire hangers on the plastic plugs start to shit the bed, and the size of the hole in the fishes mouth drastically increases. It doesn’t sound like much, but If you test it using a proper drag scale you’ll see that 12 pounds will have your rod completely doubled over and no striper is going to be outside your control. Average fishermen at the canal MAYBE run between 6-8 pounds for reference. Keep up the good work brother. Glad to see someone put in the effort to make an entertaining, and well put together video!
Lol thanks brotha! The tips and advice are very much appreciated. Didn't expect such highlights and an awesome review, literally pinned down everything i wanted to capture! Again very much appreciated input, especially since trying to be as successful as yourself!
I gotta head over there to Cape Cod one of these days! Good video, keep it up! Edit: I forget where my tools are all the time, even though it's at the side of my hip. Lol.
Shit I fished the canal started in 1969 ,these kids who fish the Canal today .I guarantee they would be breaking lines left and right .I don't how to play a fish the braided line does work for them .We use to use 20lb mono try horsing a fish then lol .If people seen the shit that we've seen back then .even on the beaches the bait that was around was incredible . There was times when you couldn't even fish the Canal there was so much eel grass from the boats chopping it up .it's all gone I fished the Canal when it was at its best .
That's awesome brotha, wish I could have fished that era as well but for sure it's been overfished for years and it also doesn't help that there's colonies of seals at the cape. It definitely takes skill and hard work to land a trophy fish, most people go through seasons without any luck, appreciate you sharing your experience. Wish I had time to fish nowadays but hope you enjoyed the video brotha!
Yeah brotha, wish I had landed that one too. The fish that hit this day was massive, a friend down the canal landed a 52" 35lb that morning and won the competition for our group.
Someone ballinnn lol. I haven't compared the two reels side by side but I think daiwa knobs are all similar in size and should match up fine. The 14000 looks like it's a hex to loosen the knob? On my Expedition the powerknob is rivoted to the handle, unless other 5500s are different. You'd have to swap out the handle too
@@fishking694 Pretty good but mostly schoolie. My friend just got the saltiga 2020 14000xh. In less then 3 months of using it, his is already start to build rusted. I'm so concerned with my investment here.
@@vsonic86 yeah I had similar concerns as well but depends on how you maintain your gear. I've had my setup for 2 years now, I have minimal to no rust. I also do self maintenance once or twice a month. Always run your gear through water after being out on the water.
I love that set up you have! I have the same reel on a Century 10'6 rod. How much did your custom 12' CTS Vapor Trail cost? I had an ODM Frontier X paired with a Stella 1400 and loved it. I ended up selling the combo to a friend that wanted it so bad.
Thank you! I fished a whole season to find out what type of rod I wanted for my first build. And I could imagine, sounds like you had a perfect setup! I would've loved it myself. Since I built this rod myself I saved a a couple hundred bucks. I shopped around for the lowest prices and ended up choosing top grade materials for the build, if I remember correctly, the blank was $400-$500. All the materials was around $600-$700
Thanks. Nice. You definitely need to try it out here. Research shows the season runs pretty strong from may to september. Keep in mind these are migratory fish, and they usually just follow bait, so where ever the little fishes go the big fishes follow.
I think it's still too early in the year, even with the right tide and moon phase. Schoolies might be in but my guess, the majority of keepers would start to be in around June.
Hey bud, yeah older models are nice, but depending on which ones have the upgraded bearings and seals. The saltiga expedition I have does and imo is the best looking saltiga
Hey got a question; i just heard of the stripers and the cape cod canal but my question is,do the stripers run like this all the time or is this a fall run type of thing. I'm a avid fisherman on our local lake, river and streams here in the york ,pa. and Harrisburg area.
Hey! Thanks for tuning in! The run usually isnt like this all the time. Season is typically april to october with some holdovers caught in the off season, but with good research and persistence youll be able to pin down which weeks/months are most active. How is the fishery in your areas? Planning on a salmon run next year!
Oh wow didnt know this video would be seen by someone across the country! Very cool. I hope to come to Seattle someday and check out the fishing there. If you don't mind me asking, besides the inshore fishes caught like king salmon what type of fishes are caught off shore?
Hey bud. Vapor trail is a great rod. Perfect for top water plugging and lures. Very strong and lightweight. You have to feel the fish out when reeling them in though, this is a great rod but it doesnt have much of a backbone to force +30lb fish in. If you fish the canal then you know what i mean. I think best comparison would be a century surfmachine or slingshot
The cts is one of my favorite rods. I mainly plug or toss swim baits with it, anything 3.5oz easily. I've caught quite a few 30lbers without an issue. IMO the negatives I'd say is it's too soft to jig, and I've caught a few but lost more 35-40lb stripes not being able to turn them in the tide due to the softer backbone.
Awesome video, I’m trying to get out there on the next new moon on the 29th which is also a super moon. Do You think that would be a good time to plan a final trip?
Thank you! Great question! Yes i think thats still a great time for a final trip. Plenty of bait still around and forecast isnt showing much of a shift in temperatures yet.
Lol. Stickshads are a beast if you know how to use them. I've landed many 25-30lbers that swallowed them whole. I'll have to make a video sometime but the trick is toss the swimbait upstream, rod tip down to the water and a slow retrieve, making sure your line is tight. Lmk when you land that monster 👍
@@vsonic86 well, slow cranking is the best method but varies from the speed of the water flow and depth your aiming for you'll have to adjust. You'll get use to it, just takes practice, at times you'll feel exactly when the fish will hit.
Interesting i havent heard that before. It shouldnt be any different than the regular saltiga US/UK models. Im sure some shops must service this reel but I service my own reels. Mag oil alone is pricey, ran about $50+
@@fishking694 Seriously you service this reel on your own? I know the Saltiga 2015 can be service. I heard the expedition will need to be shipped to Japan. I am absolutely in love with Daiwa reel ever since I get to use their Saltist. I know J and H is currently selling the saltiga expedition as JDM. But I'm just afraid of the service in case there is problem with it.
@@vsonic86 yes i do service this on my own. Ill make a video the next time i service. I plan to service it after some more hardcore fishing this weekend. Ill make sure to do a shout out to you. One advice, i wouldnt purchase a used saltiga unless you have it in front of you to compare and feel. Spending over or nearly $1000. Mind as well try n find a brand new one. Dont know how well used ones are maintened and kept. Just my opinion. Stay tuned for more vids!
@@fishking694 Only once. Had no idea where to go or when. I had the right size rig and recommended lures. But it was mid-October. I was on the land side fishing off of a grate over a small creek that empties into the canal. On the bay side of the Sagamore bridge. Did see a shark, though. LOL. We saw one guy on a bike pass us going toward the Sagamore. Then saw him pop up about 100 yards to our right. In ten minutes he hauled in a fish and was on his way. The canal, I've come to accept, takes a lot of experience.
Thanks! Are you asking reel drag? Or my line weight? For reel drag i think its rated for 20-30 lbs of drag. For line weight i use 50lbs but gonna be switching back to 40lbs for the distance
Fish King How tight do you have your expedition at is what i’m asking. I also love that expedition. I personally have a stella but some of my friends have expedition and they love it
@@vinhdoan2413 hah oh ok. Yes its a great reel. Im not exactly sure but I'd say 16lbs when setting the hook, more or less. i adjust the drag quite frequently when reeling in a fish, i havent lost any this season yet. Keeping my fingers crossed. Lol
