    Love this channel and your knowledge to catch stripers is huge. We have caught plenty with great captains and there charters but just bought a targa tracker and wanted to catch them in the mouth of the river. Used your method plus a three swivel with weight method and we caught our first ones on our own. Thanks brother

    Some guys offered us eels a couple days ago, we took them only because we didn’t have any bait. We were low key talking shit saying that these eels weren’t going to work. 30min later we caught the BIGGEST striper I’ve ever seen. Shit was soo wild that we had to go back and get some more eels just for reassurance. The next day we went back with the eels and caught 5 MONSTER stripers within 2hr. It was unbelievable, from now on our go to bait are eels.

    Man I love your videos! Wanted to use planer board for a long time and finally picked some up for the open ocean off cape cod on calm days. Sounds like they are great for fishing lots of rods/covering lots of area when fish are close to the surface. I assume if I mark most fish at 20ft and deeper planer boards aren't the way to go, or is there likely bass I'm not marking up top? WiIl Experiment :)

    • @MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS
      @MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS  4 года назад

      EnterNameHere I would troll to get started. That’s your best bet until you learn the areas better. Fish the edges of the main channels to start. Troll simple mojo chute rigs like these amzn.to/32pOp1o
      There are some Striper there all year, but the big numbers won’t show up until fall/winter.

  • @MatthewCavalieri
    @MatthewCavalieri 2 года назад

    How late into the winter do you guys usually get them . Not asking for specifics but what area would be a good starting point .? We trolled eels up in the Raritan it was very effective, took alot of tips from your video . Thanks mike

    • @MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS
      @MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS  2 года назад +1

    How do you keep your eels from “spinning” when trolling?

    • @MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS
      @MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS  2 года назад

      Im really crawling. I vary speed, but rarely go very fast. Usually I’m just a few tenths of a mph over what the current gives me. If your eels are healthy they swim along fine. If you see birds behind your floats you’re spinning them 😛.

      Sure! The floats are made by RediRig. You want the TOS planer floats. I designed them for RediRig. Team Old School float. (I don’t get a cut or anything, just free floats)😁. I’m using Zakk Royce signature planer boards here, but there are LOTS of good ones around. Zakk is on Facebook and can hook you up. Thanks for watching brother!

      Raymond Bushey Would love to, I’m always looking for new spots to fish, we were actually supposed to do a video up there this past May with Keepin it Reel, but we were on a huge bite in the lower Raritan and didn’t want to leave it😉. I used to run charters on the Roanoke River in NC many years ago, it’s a very similar fishery. We would drift big River Herring before they were protected with floats. Huge numbers there. Shoot me an email in April, maybe we can connect and shoot some video 👍👍👍 mikesmedley9@gmail.com thanks brother!

      It’s tough to keep that spring scale from bouncing all over the place in a rocking boat. If you don’t pinch your fingers right on the gap the fish will never stop bouncing. I don’t keep big fish anymore but when I did you would see a pretty big difference in what a fish weighs on land versus in the rocking boat. Not to mention the shaking arms when holding a 50lb plus fish up and away from your body without the tail touching the deck. The struggle is real 🤣
