Hope it helps

I appreciate the support but I don't sell stuff.

@@MDYakFishing I understand. I don't believe that I can find the hooks to make them, the link is broken. The ones I found have addition barbs/spikes on the jig. also that tool you used for the 210 denier, and which white maribou you used? I'm new to this stuff so I was hoping I could pay, but if I was to make it myself I dont know which is ideal, if you have links to use that would be great. thanks

Depends on what you are doing. Summer fishing I'd recommend 1/8oz beetle spin and winter jigging I'd recommend 1/2 oz kastmaster plain.

I appreciate the feedback. I don’t use crank baits just because of the treble hooks. I love using crank baits for other species though.

I appreciate you. The depth range I troll in is 1’-20’ I don’t like to troll deeper as I don’t enjoy using down riggers.

They are very good to eat. I keep until my catch bag is full.

No, the most important aspects of billed lure’s depth of travel is the diameter of the line, the amount of line let out, and the speed of the lure in the water. This is just the physics of it.

@@MDYakFishing Yes, line plays a major role but there is a maximum depth that any lure is capable of running. It is the geometry of the bill and its size that determine the maximum depth a lure will run. Let me try it this way - take any lure you have and with say, 12lb line and 100 feet out, it’ll run a certain distance below the rod tip. If you raise the rod tip, it’ll come up higher in the water column. If you lower the rod tip, it’ll go lower in the water column. In other words, with all else equal, it will stay the same distance below the rod tip.

@@rodmakermagazine7117 Sometimes in a short message it’s hard to understand a point. We may have some wires crossed. If you are trolling a yo-zuri crystal minnow 6’ deep on 10 lbs braid with 2’ of 20lbs leader at 3 mph with 120’ of line out (from the rod tip) and the rod tip is 2’ above the water and you then move the rod tip up from 2’ to 6’ the change of depth the lure travels will be about 1’ different so the lure will be around 5’ deep. It’s not a 1:1 ratio. Hope that helps clear things up for you.

Incorrect. That would mean the geometry, the triangle, would suddenly change, just because you raise the rod tip, and that won’t happen. The lure has no way of knowing where the water surface is. It can only react to the angle of the line and the rod tip. We spent years at Berkeley working on this sort of thing in test tanks, and when you raise the rod tip, the entire triangle, by the rod, and the line back to the lure moves upward with it. For what you say to be true, the lure would have to know where the surface of the water is, which is absolutely impossible.

It's not physics - it's geometry. You have a fixed 90 degree triangle - dictated by the size and angle of the lure's bill. The line length is on the hypotenuse leg, the depth is the "A" leg and the "B" is the actual distance back (not line length out). Yes, the hypotenuse length changes as you let more line out and the "A" leg (depth) will lengthen accordingly but the entire triangle is anchored at the rod tip. If you move the rod tip up, the entire triangle moves upward by the same amount. If you move the rod tip down, the entire triangle moves down by the same amount. I run my rod tip about a foot off the water. If I have a lure that iis running say, 8 feet deep, and I'm in 6 feet of water and bumping bottom, I adjust my rod holder to put my rod tip two feet higher (3 feet above water surface) and now my lure is still 8 feet below the rod tip but only 5 feet below the water surface. The distance from rod tip height will not change - it's still 8 feet but the entire triangle has moved upward.

I fish the Chesapeake Bay. I don’t get more detailed than that on social media. The technique has worked the same up and down the coast.

@@MDYakFishing Thank you very much!

I appreciate you!

My wife just gave birth so my fishing is taking a hit here in the short term.

@MDYakFishing , I understand, congratulations!

My speed is from 2.8 to 4mph depending on conditions

@@MDYakFishing Thre Yo-Zuris seem to like the 2-3 MPH speed. Most bass type crankbaits only work up through about 1.5 to 2, and then start running on their side.

lol. yeah. you can’t reel in 2 40’s. They always tangle and break off. At least that’s my experience.

I mostly use floating. It’s way easier to control the depth.

@@MDYakFishing thanks dude love the videos

Great question. I don’t fish right at the damn enough to give a good answer. They are starting their second minor migration now. They will start moving again this March

@@MDYakFishing thanks man! Just actually got home from the Conowingo now

I appreciate you. My wife just had a baby so fishing is on hold for a minute.

I appreciate you. thanks

70F is usually when i do the best in the fall.

@@MDYakFishing thank you 🙏🏼

I appreciate you. Thanks

That’s rough. This time of year they start to move again so you can run into some tough days. If the water temps drop or rise 3-4 degrees over a few days it can slow the bite. They usually hit best with consistent weather. The days you were out the best tide movement was after dark which isn’t the best snakehead fishing. The water temps were also starting to dip which can turn them off. The lures can only do so much. Hope you get them next time.

LOL. There are a couple problems with that though. Making them a “game fish” means devoting tax dollars to continually evaluate and regulate a species of fish. This is not a cheap undertaking and my taxes are high enough. Next, they are so fecund that they can produce 100,000 eggs a season and they also guard there young making them so prolific that “game fish” status will never be needed. None of the other countries that have this invasive fish have ever had to manage the population. Even with immense fishing pressure.

@@MDYakFishing Yakfishing man; The state of Virginia already has assigned John Odenkirk to evaluate and watch over just the snakehead population. So those thousands of dollars are already being spent (on one species). His salary comes from fish license sales, not general taxes. We have never managed our fish or game regulations based on what other countries do. Restaurants in DC have found out how good snakehead meat is, and are buying snakeheads from local fisherman. So much so, that the game commission has put a requirement to buy a license before you can sell them. Unfortunately, our game commissions have always been super slow to adapt to changes, but we should be attempting to drag them out of the past and into the future. Snakeheads are here, they aren't going away, lets regulate them.

I appreciate feedback

Yeah man. Love that lineup.

I’m still kicking. I’ve only been out a few times since this spring. My wife is due soon so a lot of my free time has been working on projects to get ready for that. I’ve gotten a few 30”+ snakeheads this past month. I’ve probably only caught 300 perch. So a pretty light summer.

@@MDYakFishing Good Deal and CONGRATULATIONS on the Upcoming Little One. My Daughter is expecting my 2nd Grandchild any Day now. We've been Slaying the Perch here on the Patuxent and they are a Bit Larger than usual this year for some reason. Have you noticed that? Also been getting quite a few Keeper Reds who aren't shy about what the eat. Getting one or two keepers a week and Hundreds of Under Slots which is a really good sign for the Fishery. Heading to Fenwick Island next week. Will give you an update. Tight Lines my Friend. 🐟

@@mikejordan6036 Appreciate the info! Wish I could be getting out more to pick up a few reds. Best wishes!

I grew up fishing bait casters and I’m very accurate with them. They just are a victim to physics and you can easily get break-offs due to line cut in. It is much easier to cast light lures with a spinning reel in the wind than it is to use a bait caster. That said if I am using 1/2 oz lures I like using the bait caster with 40lbs braid and a 7’ medium heavy fast action rod. If the lure is lighter than that I use a spinning reel with 12lbs braid on a 7’ medium fast action rod.

@@MDYakFishing thank you

I appreciate the feedback.

I appreciate the feedback. I love it myself.

Glad it helps. I use floating.

@@MDYakFishing Figured that was the case. Makes sense. Thank you! BTW, up here in NH, trying to catch Striped Bass is a fool's errand without a boat. :-/

Thanks for watching!👍

I troll from 2.8-4.0 mph

Yeah, they are in every tributary of the chesapeake. The western shore started getting good numbers 4 years ago for the places i’ve been.

I fish up and down the western and eastern shore of Md. If I've discovered anything it's that there are no secret spots. I mostly fish what is close to me just because it's convenient. I don't give out those spots because I want to keep what's close to me fishable. I made the mistake early on letting my fishing spots be known and they soon got so overcrowded that i can't fish them anymore and I have to travel much farther to launch. My recommendation for starting out is first to figure out kayaking and then incorporate fishing. Boats are the biggest danger to kayaks so keep your head on a swivel and never assume that they see you. I'd also keep your gear simple at first and your targets small. Panfish are a great starter. They keep you close to the shore and acclimate you to casting and landing fish from a kayak. Best wishes.

I use more Booyah lures than any other brand for snakehead. They just work.

I appreciate the offer but these days I'm more of a fish when I can instead of planning trips. Life likes to get in the way of my fishing. I'm sure you can relate. Hope you get on them.

I don’t troll spoons very often. I haven’t found a need to as my catch rates are pretty good with my current techniques. I have trolled Kastmasters at the surface with no special rigging.

Open water that a spinner bait/chatter sit would be high.

I use 12lbs braid for spinning gear and 40lbs braid on bait casters due to line cut in.

I appreciate you. I use YakAttack Zooka II Rod Holders. Those are the only ones i use these days.

Thanks! I use boga grip 130

I appreciate you

I use a 18” flouro 20lbs leader terminated to a tactical angler clip.

Yeah. That is the yo-zuri 3d minnow. One of my favorites to troll for striped bas.

@@MDYakFishing i guess I just have never had luck swimming a minnow. The only time I can get them to hit it is stopping and popping it. So it never occurred to me to troll with it. I'll try it this sunday.

lol.

I assume this was March? Good job getting out there in the cold!

I use an old Kokatat supernova angler. It’s an adjustment wearing one. It took me a while to get used to the neck gasket.

Thanks! I use an FX30 inside and sometimes in the kayak if the weather is good. I have a gopro7 and osmo action 4 for most of the kayak shots.

That means a lot. Thanks! I like your vids. great work.

Thanks dude!

Great job brother!!!

Thanks! I use a Ultralight 1103 AC with a 915Wh battery.

depends on water temp. i troll from 2.5-3.8 mph

Most of my fishing is from Solomons Boat Ramp and Fishing/Crabbing Pier and further south. I don’t fish the hot spots as they are too crowded for my liking. I have a radius of about 10 miles from each launch and spend hours just searching each trip. I pattern them as they move up the bay and I move with them. I say that just to say there is a lot of nothing on the road to land them if you fish like I do.

@@MDYakFishing Thank you. I like to avoid the crowds. You are at a different level when it comes to striped bass.

Great video

LOL You are the guy to do it and you already know where to go. Best of luck.
