Hope you have great fishin in the coming new year. Tight lines bruh!
Bill Walker Thanks Brother. I really appreciate that. Thanks for taking the time to post this. 👍👍👍😁

Octavio Fuentes Thanks Brother!!
What I enjoyed most about your video is seeing you handle the bass with care - very nice guys!
😊😊😁👍
I noticed that too. Respect for the fish goes a long way.
RanochVTX thanks brother! I agree!
What a beautiful boat!
Jeffrey Watkin Thanks brother!
Max was the highlight of the video 😂 he loves licking those fish lol
Yes sir, yall know what your doing, very correct on weight i fish the same way.

Awesome fishing!
That's some quality fishing!

You had me at the first yank. Finally, a man who could catch fish. Then, my heart sank....YOU LET IT GO...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!LOL
😂😂🤣🤣❤️❤️
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS I love catching strippers here in Arkansas! Such a fun fish. I was on a date one time and the guy released my catfish! Then he released my stripper! RIGHT THEN, I experinced PTSD!😲😨 He FINALLY caught a massive fish and decided he'd keep it.🤔 OH HELLLLLL to the NOOOOOOOO! I reminded him that it was CATCH & RELEASE DAY, NO FISH ALLOWED ON BOAT DAY, NO FISH TO EAT DAY and he released that beast.😂😂 Loved your video! TRY TO KEEP THE FISH PLEASE.😘😘😆
"Strippers"? I agree, some o' 'em smell like Fish... Although, I would much rather Fish for "Stripers"...(Less chance o' catchin' a Disease...)
GREAT SHOW!
Danny Collins thanks Danny!!
I lived there and is funny to see folks fish the water which raised me .. 💙🤙
Thanks brother!!! I was raised there too!
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS epic dude .... magic fishery and awesome catch! tight lines my brotha!
frank frootmusic ferrante Same to you brah!!! Thanks again.
Ferrante? That’s my Wife’s maiden name.
What size hook is the Gamakatsu? Also here in the Chesapeake we can’t use offset, any suggestions?
Such great conditions
Get em max!!
😛
When would be the correct time to use a weight ? Do you use a sinker or an egg ?
What rod are you using @1:30 with the blue foregrip?...thanks
Damn nice boat !!
Dan thanks brother!
That's a heck of a beard !
are you drifting or is the boat anchored? i am in a small boat in the bay and wondering if the current / wind will be too strong in about 15ft of water.
What a pos!!! How does he not answer this question??? Phook this dude
Good job guys
Thanks brother 👍
Great video!
Beautiful flat calm water. What I wouldn't do for a little of that around here.
hey mike I was wondering what structure brought you to conclude that that would be a good spot to anchor up and chunk I usually never catch fish outside of current was there bait present ?
nevermind I finished the video and you answered my question lol good job man
Yes sir!! It doesn’t take much to attract fish when there is current. A hump like this can be littered with good fish. In freshwater you might need ALOT of structure, but not as much in the salt. 👍👍
What do you guys recommend for bait? Never tried fishing strippers before was gonna take my grandpa out this weekend but not sure on what to use for bait
I would start out with bloodworms. The guys at the bait shop will hook you up with the right hooks and stuff. They are pretty good in the North East. Try to fish near a river mouth on the out going tide. 👍👍
Appreciate it thank you
Smack down!
I have a 12 foot aluminum boat with a small 2 stroke engine, I have yet to catch nice stripers like those, I use live pogues that I catch on hurricane barrier here In Rhode island and I usually stay near there to try to cath stripers but havent caught any, am I using wrong bait not fishing on the right spot?? I have to catch one like the ones you guys caught lol help me out got some tips for me?? I only have the boat for about 1 month. Im a rookie as you can prob tell by reading this.
Ned Flenders I'll try to help. shoot me an email mikesmedley9@gmail.com
Ned Flenders hi-didili-ho neighborino! Shoot me an email and I'll try to help.

Your bib pants with yellow straps, what brand are they? Thank you.
Hey Tony, they are the new Aftco anhydrous rain gear. I was lucky enough to help test this new gear out for a year or so before they went into production. We beat the daylights out of most of our stuff and Aftco actually tweaked the design based on some of our feedback. I was very impressed with that. It seems that a lot of companies wouldn't make any changes after they hit the old "price point", but Aftco made some real improvements to get it perfect. It's a super lightweight super dry suit. They have these "cord locks" all over the suit that are awesome. You can really adjust the suit in several places so it fits perfect. This gear has to be the driest breathable gear out there. Thanks for the comment brother!
Those accurate reels are the shit. I'm getting a bv300 valiant
👍👍😁😁
Damn guys nice video . I live right across the street from that spot . And never seen such big Cows
hooked up like that .... Fine video
shanerr929 We’ll be there a lot this spring, same boat, we always fly an American Flag, when you go there this spring bring a flash light, if you see us out there shine us down and we’ll come pick you up. You can fish with us the rest of the day. It works in the daytime too if it’s good light. 😁.
Where is this located
i fished the same way in Hyannis inner harbor and just drifted chunk bait and the fish were slamming them ... caught 16 fish that day in a 2 hour window... was the best striper fishing i have had ......
That’s awesome brother!
What year was that guy's is that 2018? Because down here in Boston they're just starting to hit the rivers on the way to the Salt Water. They are here 2 or 3 weeks swimming Upstream chasing the shad and Herring and then they're off the saltwater I'm so happy that striper season is upon us I've been waiting all winter.
Brian Morton this was last year, but we are doing just as well right now. It’s been great here for last 3 weeks. Ny.
what are you using for bait? those were some big stripers.
Brody Hollister cut bunker -menhaden.
may i ask what kind of bait you used in the video?
4:20 Nation sure brother!! Cut Menhaden.
where can i get them rods and reels what are they called
Brandon Burns Accurate Valiant 400 reels. Accurate 7020c Rods.
What kind of rod holders are those and where can they be bought? It looks like they mount into a gimble mount on the boat.
That’s exactly right. Here ya go! ruclips.net/video/DSau-iYqAXg/видео.html
What set up would you suggest if I'm fishing from shore?
dzoan duong find areas where the channel runs close to the bank. You don't necessarily need to cast all the way to the channel, but you have greater chances when fishing the shallow water NEAR the deep water of the channel. Use larger spinning reels with 10-12" surf cast rods. 50-80lb Stealth braid. 20-40lb mono leaders. I like to cast eels because they stay on the hook best when casting hard. Hook in the tail.
Mike love to see you whit all your bros some good Huck ups and all nice fish keep them bids coming brother I love that tipe of fishing from micker in Ireland 👌🐟🐟🚤🎣🎣
Thanks Micker!! Got your box almost full brother!
Mike your one of a kind brother and thank you very much most appreciated that was a nice video whit all your bros some lovely fish keep them coming brother 🎣🎣🐟🐟👌💯😁 again thanks Mike is love to meet up you never know small world were in Mike tight lines my friend
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS just got back from fishing Mike I like ground fishing at night lovely swell on the beach I was so excited i tides t he not rong 😥lost a lovely fish but it didn't happen the next time got some lovely fish was usedim
Lug worm very good day on rising tide had a great day. Brother 🎣🐟 e
Awesome brother!! 👍👍👍😁😁
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS thanks Mike tight lines brother going out again today let you know how I get on your very kind brother 🎣🐟 🚤
I enjoyed that. What size hook did you use? I’m watching on an airplane and don’t have headphones so I can’t hear.
In this video we were using 8/0 J hooks but we use these 9/0 inline circle hooks normally. In fact it’s the law now. amzn.to/325i8xC
I’m going fishing at grizzly island needed a good rig
Those rods are within my price range, but those reels arent. Can you recommend some reel models that would pair well with that rod? I'm not sure what to look for in a good striper reel. Also what gear ratio? Thanks dude!
Low gear for all bait live and cut. The Accurate Fury starts at $239. I would avoid level winds and star drags. Unfortunately I don’t know a lot of the prices of the other brands. I would probably use Daiwa.
How would u rig up for the hundson like havestraw Bay Area tide no tide, weight no weight, night time day time ,what your thought
Thomas Wild I have always preferred evenings pretty much everywhere. If there is no tide, I go no weight. From there I go as light as I can get away with. A simple 5/0-7/0 circle hook with cut and whole Bunker would be where I would start. Clams and and bloodworms will do well too, but you will possibly catch lots of smaller fish that way. Grip it and rip it Brother. Try a bunch of stuff and see what sticks. 😁.
Awesome beard bro!
big ron 😁😁👍👍
Great video too!
What kind of rod and tell combo are you using?
Asia Lyttle Accurate Valiant 400 BV-2 reels. Accurate 7020c ML
Not light but one hell of a rod. Pulled in a 5-6ft sturgeon no problem paired with an 8500 reel. Tip is fast enough to see even the small bites.
How deep were you guys in?
LincLinc TV 20 ft.
Great video! Where did you get those rod holders?
Eric Cordeiro Ce Smith adjustables.
Has Bill Dance would say that's a beautiful fish!
😁😁👍
Great video, nice fish. Did you put grips on your fishing rods?
Thanks brother!!! Yes, I use Winn Grips. Click the link to see how I install them. 👍
ruclips.net/video/O5hBsy_SOeE/видео.html
How high/low do you guys set the drag with the rods in the holders? Greattt video btw!
Ryan Mclaughlin great question. In most cases I set the drag to be 3/4 of what the fighting drag will be so we can get the rod out of the holder quick to set the hook. (They are harder to get out when fish puts pressure on the rod) HOWEVER, when using circle hooks I leave it at full fighting drag. If the drag isn't paying out at the strike we wind the reel hard without taking it out of the rod holder to sink the Circle hook before picking up the rod. Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for the fast reply, you guys are the best!
Ryan Mclaughlin thanks Ryan!!!!!
what bait do you guys use and do you do guide services im not in east coast but i would love to take a fishing trip out there one day oh and what rod were you using
+jon garrigus we use fresh Bunker (Menhaden). Rods are Accurate 7020C. Reels are Accurate Valiant 400. I don't guide anymore because we travel so much, but I have good friends that are great guides. We can probably fish along side each other. Email me if you are interested. Mikesmedley9@gmail.com
Mike Smedley ok thanks i will keep it mind when i go in vacation we dont have bunkers in cali are stripers our small compared to your east coast stripers i mean there are some big ones but kinda hard to find but cool man awseome video
going to try this in falcon dam boys thanks for the pointers,going fishing
whiskey jiro that's great. thanks for the comment. Go get em all!
Thanks for the video. Wish you would have shown the bait and how you put it on the hook. New to fishing!!!
Hubert Manley check this one out. Lots of good stuff. Including baiting. ruclips.net/video/9zx6ZjyATxU/видео.html
basic "bunker bait' chunks ,hook through midway or at least 1/4 fatty part/ use if around blues use steel leader
What type poles are you using.
Seeker 7020.
What brand rod and reels were you using and the sizes.
ChosenCrab8 these are the Accurate 400 Valiant BV-2 reels. The rods are the Accurate Extreme 7020c medium action. My favorite bait rods of all time 😁. These are actually prototypes from when they first came out. Still never broke one and they have been thru hell. You can see they were black and actually called Xnergy at the time. They are dark red now. Seeker blanks.
Nice fish! And that looks like some nice gear you’re using. What is that gear you’re using?
Steven Kazmierski Thank you Sir! Accurate Valiant 400 reels and Accurate 7020c Rods.
Hi guys...great vid!
Do you let the bait sink to the bottom or fish mid water?? thanks
Peter Rouse on the bottom with cut bait, this area is big and flat so the current isn’t very strong and the Bait stays on the bottom with no weight. Good question! Thanks.
Thanks for getting back to me Mike! I've got a 3 week bass fishing trip coming up in the Newburyport area in 2 weeks. Your videos are a massive help. Cheers
Peter Rouse thanks brother!!! Catch em ALL!
Haha I'll try buddy! Would love to see you boys do a video hitting the Merrimack Old School!!
Peter Rouse we need to do that. We’ve talked about but never did. Maybe you can meet us out there and show us around.
Awesome vid! Any recommendations on where I can take my kayak to hook into some stripers ? Thx!!

What kind of meat you use to catch stripped bas?
Bunker chunks.
where and when can we catch fish like that. My wife and I are in our 70s and our boat is a sea boss 180. can we fish in those waters with our boat ? thanks Bill.
bill scott absolutely! I have friends that fish in Kayaks around our areas. Shoot me an email and I will help you all I can. We don't do charters anymore because we fish 20-30 different bodies of water each year, sometimes more. I'm happy to help if I can. Won't cost you anything at least😉. Mikesmedley9@gmail.com
soon as I can figure out how to do gmail, are you close to NC ?
bill scott I live in NC. Gmail is just a regular email address. If you or your wife has an email address we can talk some.
Your fishing right next to my marina!!

NICE VIDEOS. WHAT TYPE OF ROD YOU GUYS USE? KEEP POSTING MORE VIDEOS. SOUTH OF CALI.😎
Marcos Avila thanks brother!! We use Accurate/Seeker 7020c medium light.
What kind of rod are you using?
dan meyer These are the Accurate 7020c Medium Light.
Why are all the fish appear to be keepers 27” and up ? We were fishing bay of fundy and caught quite a few under sized fish and only one 30 “ between 6 guys in three boats . What is the secret to getting bigger fish . We were using 4oz weights and no. 6/0 hook . Squid heads , fresh mackerel, and fresh gasperough , or the locals call them kayaks.
Quite a few things come into play for Striped Bass size in saltwater. Stripers tend to swim in like sizes. Once you start catching numerous 20” fish you will most likely see only fish around that same size. We hear never leave fish to find fish, but I often do just that. In the US migratory fish are often much larger so that’s another thing to take into account. Are you catching smaller resident fish that aren’t feeling the urge to migrate and spawn? If so, a much larger fish will be rare in That case as well.
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS i believe the fish are resident fish heading to the river waters to spawn . This was my first time fishing strippers and i think i may be hooked . I was a big Atlantic salmon fly fisherman but as you probably know the returning salmon are becoming few and far between around the east coast of Nova Scotia . So this may be the next fishing venture for me .
what bait did you use
Cut bunker
So jealous!!! Cant catch anything here at the Jersey shore!
what?????????????????? Sandy Hook, NJ never fails!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
great video but what was you using for BAIT ???❤👍🙊
Terry Lusk cut bunker. Menhaden
Great video what kind of rod are you using?
Thanks brother!! These were Seeker 7020’s.
Anyone know the reels they were using?
Michael Morris wrestling These are Accurate Valiant 400’s.
What is the purpose of a leader line if it's the same lb test monofilament line as the main line?
Without a swivel the line will twist when the bait spins in the current.
@@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS ok that makes sense but with live bait it probably wouldn't matter right?
I almost Always use a swivel. They will swim in circles and make a mess. You can get away without a swivel if you are constantly monitoring the bait, like pitching live baits to Snook or Tarpon- any situation where you’re holding the rod and casting and changing baits often. If it just sits in the rod holder for long periods of time you should used a swivel.
You're the man. Thanks for the reply!
Mike you ever do any catfishing? I'm gonna set my sea pro up for catfishing and I really like those rod holders you use.
Chris Spivey I fish with Zakk Royce on Gaston some. He is the Blue Cat master!
Chris Spivey the rodholders are CeSmith mid mount adjustables. And Austin Sartin makes the rails. Call him. (336) 687-0519
Mike Smedley I do a lot of fishing on buggs island .. I fish every once in a while on the Kerr side. I actually met zakk and the big cat fever guys at the ramp in Clarksville one night
Chris Spivey they are great guys.
hey looks familiar .,.. im a floridian now.... but is that manhasset bay? or hempstead harbor? or where???? lol ...the fishing there is right on ... i grew up in LI sound...
Do you have a cousin Ron? His brother is Ernie.
