Is it just me or has this been one of the best years in memory? So much bait and so may fish. Love to see it
its definitely been a solid season so far, hoping for a crazy fall run
It's not just you it has been absolute crazy this year. Definitely been one for the record books for me.
The bite has been getting better and better each year since they implemented the regulations. I fish in Jersey mostly. Some New York, but it’s getting better everywhere.
Insane feeding frenzy. I want to travel and target Strippers one day, definitely a bucket list item! Great video!
Jonny,
Awesome! This reminds me of the bass-blitzes that start their early fall runs on rain-bait around the 'Tauk. We'd throw light BlueFrog white Bucktails w white rinds...light tackle skinny water up front..
Great video to my Yak friend from New England...thanks for sharing
Awesome Jonny! Keep them coming.
some crazy footage man! I love it.
Wow! Epic action! Good work bud
Amazing video bud! Good luck in the fall.
That video was nuts! I’m in Maine and it is the best year for stripers in the 20 years I’ve lived here. Great channel!
Thanks Scott! Glad you're having a good year its been a solid season in RI too
Try going to Provincetown mass at the end of June. Blitz’s the size of 2 football fields
Nice man!!
The same thing happened to me and I was able to catch them on a 3 inch nlbn white Swimbait which was awesome, good work I’m loving the videos
That was sick
FWJ, great content, thanks for sharing! I subscribed to your channel!
Experience of a lifetime, Jonny! Unfortunately, they were getting the last laugh. 😅 That really was a SICK sight! 👍
Thanks man, they came up just to laugh in my face lol, but definitely a cool sight to behold
Saw this once and it was incredible!
Too much Fun!!
Awesome video 👍🏻
oh hell yeah.. get em!
Excellent. Flashing lights lights
Dang-ive had that happen down here in MD back in 2020. There were THOUSANDS blitzing for hours. They were all 16-19 inchers though and the only thing they were hitting on was small jerk bait. I know the adrenaline and also frustration of not being able to catch a bigger one. Had to leave to get back to work while they were still blitzing after 3 hours.
Awesone content
All this bait in the bay, and no signs on bonito yet. Really thought with the mackerel showing up, they would be in.
I think they bones are gonna be showing up in numbers really soon, or at least I hope so
Really tricky fish. Super small jigs, or something with a teaser, usually they hit the teaser. Good luck!
definitely were a little tricky on this trip. I'm thinking a small fly would have worked better
Really enjoy ur vids
thanks for watching!!
We’re at in RI
That was insane. In all my 48 years I've never seen stripers that thick. I guess I gotta head to NP next time I'm out. I normally fish Fall River, Tiverton, and Westport; I've seen some great blitzes but never anything like that.
Yea pretty crazy to have that happen right next to my kayak. I have seen them ball up this tight on a few occasions. I think they do this when they feed on bay anchovies which are super tiny but I'm not 100% sure what they were feeding on
About 3 Saturdays ago was that you out in front of Newport it was later in day about 6pm the weather got a little hairy
That’s how they feed in the LIsound when the cinder worms hatch
That’s awesome I’ve never seen a cinder worm hatch before
That’s is crazy 😳
Fish On Oh Yeah 🫵 🎣 🗽
Don't even need to catch anything. Just being there to observe all the action would be amazing. Hope you keep finding this kind of action the rest of the season
I agree sometimes it's just more fun to film the action than to throw a lure out. I hope the fall brings a lot of albies and bonito to crash the party
Anglers' heaven 😜💪🎣⚓⚓😍awesome
Snallow Bomber would have brought them in bro. Chance of a lifetime, got to be ready. Tha is for sharing... ew sub
Gotta use top water in the blitz and also a size larger then the bait to make it more enticing. Once, I couldn't catch sh!t in a blitz until I upped the size of the lure to jumbo.
Hey Jonny I was wondering if u have a video on tips for a kayak? I also live in Rhode Island but idk the differences between salt and fresh kayaks lol
Hi I live close by to. It looks like Johnny has same kayak as me. I would suggest a sit on top kayak for salt water because you are dealing with waves etc...a sit inside kayak is mandatory paddling and also the chance you get water inside which is a real bummer. I have a 10.6 olde towne sportsman pdl which looks like his... which is a pedal kayak...very stable kayak *jonnies may be the big water or longer sportsman. Brooklyn kayaks makes them also
What a hit at 910
Never seen anything like it. I would have thrown some thing similar to a squid or transparent lure.
topwater man. throw spooks and thank me later. what state are you in?
💪
Where are you fishing at
Yeah that was very cool I've seen several of them but from what I understand is you can throw just about anything in there in the big striper boils so what was it was it a blue fish it didn't really look like a striper cuz all I could see was the bottom but this is what I know bucktail jigs cast Masters hair razors zoom flukes and rattle traps
that's not entirely true, as you're seeing here. what ghe's throwing is not a typical striper rig. he should be on topwater though. pencil or a spook. spooks are usually easiest to work from, a kayak and will elicit strikes in a school of fish like that.
@@Peter-zg3em what is not entirely true?
@@sethjohnson6539 you can't throw "just about anything" into a school of stripers on the surface and expect to hook up. this video is evidence of that. if there's an abundance of live bait you will need to entice fish into eating something that isn't alive which takes proper selection and the ability to cast and work the plug effectively. as you can see in this video he's NOT hooking up in what is literally the school of a lifetime, a rare occurrence of highly concentrated bass and not something even a daily fisherman like myself will see every year or even period of years. i'd bet a lot of money you'd have better chance to hook up on a topwater rig than an epoxy jig. i'd throw a spook at them first and i bet you money i'd hook up. again, this dude is evidence of what i'm telling you as he is casting into a hellish boil of bass and not hooking up. source: me. i catch more striped bass in the merrimack river from shore than any man alive. you should close that mouth and learn something.
Oh well then I stand corrected humbled
Poppers, spook and Buck tail.
Why don’t you use a small bucktail?
Are the fish on a cinder worm hatch ? That’s how they feed in the LIsound when the cinder worms hatch
I'm pretty sure it was tiny bay anchovies but I'm not 100% sure
I’m freshwater, they do the same thing. It’s hard to get a bite at times, as they are either on tiny bait or what I think: cursing on the surface (not feeding) just swimming with their mouths open. Any ideas on how to get them to eat when free swimming?
I am pretty sure they were swimming with their mouths open to eat a tiny bait called bay anchovies, just needed a smaller presentation to match the bait they were so keyed in on
@@Fish-RI mmmh I’ve been thinking about it becuse they do the same thing in freshwater, but when I get close, I never see any bait, and there’s very little splashing. When I cast a tiny bait at them, they still won’t eat it
It’s as if they’re filter feeding like anchovies do. whatever they’re eating must be really small.
That’s all sandeels
Do you use a wire leader? Or just a snap swivel?
flouro leader with a tactical clip tied on at the end
@@Fish-RI thanks man see ya out there.
What kind of kayak?
Caught 3 slot size strippers in the upper Hudson last weekend.
How big is that kayak and what brand is it
Its the Old Town Bigwater PDL 132 its a great kayak
Jonny how would I be able to go out on a charter trip with you I have my own hobby kyack just retired from Massachusetts
shoot me an email regoj13@gmail.com
Looked to me like those fish were not feeding, they were bunched right up tight as they could cos something was hunting them. Which would explain why you could drag your lure through the middle of them over and over and they weren't interested, if they were feeding they would have taken it. A feeding school is more spread out than that as they charge through the prey.
yeah when they are running over each others back....
Hey Johnny fish feeding in the distance they call that a boil, so the fish are boiling, nothing better then the HOOK UP 👍🎣🎣
Not trying to be a know it all, just a homie👍
Your net might have been the best lure on your Yak
haha I think you're right
How about just using your net?
i like to throw a tantrum when i see these blitz cuz by the time i get out there, they move elsewhere.
Would have been nice to dip your net just to see what you get....
Nothing on long island
Slow that Spook plug down, stop it give it a twitch. Give the fish a chance to eat it.
Cast on the outside edge of the school, reel as slow as you can than cut that speed in half .
reason u didnt get hit when they were around the kayak is because spoons suck those lures are awful should have been using a spook or a soft plasic 4 inch swim bait
Maybe those bass weren't feeding, maybe they were being fed on, by a shark or jumbo bluefish.
