How to Bank Fish for Striped Bass for Beginners

[@hillfamily8511]

I love your channels, they’re so helpful. Landon

I appreciate the info you covered. I was sorta hoping to see you catch a striper tho.

[@catchhappy]

:) Caught plenty in my other videos. Here I focused on instruction.

@@catchhappywhat spot is that if you don’t mind ?

[@catchhappy]

@@luisalmaraz8647 Napa Sea Ranch. It's $5 per person, I believe. Lots of bank space to fish.

[@luisalmaraz8647]

@@catchhappythank you

[@garick]

Great video! Any tips on avoiding getting caught? Either on logs, in between rocks or holes, in the weeds, etc.

[@catchhappy]

Thanks. When ready to retrieve, tighten up the line then jerk the rod up to get the weight off the bottom. Then reel as fast as you can. This way you won't be dragging your weight through the bottom. Still, snags are part of fishing :) Pack extras.

Thank you greatly for sharing

Fishing at Napa Sea Ranch, by the creek. Not bad...

[@arturoramirez7721]

That is not the way to rig a bait at all. That way you’ll lose more bait then catching fish

[@catchhappy]

So far, I found this way to be superior to what I've done in the past, but, I am always open to experimentation. How would you recommend rigging anchovies?

[@davejacobs2528]

Pierce the anchovy closer to the tail end then rotate the anchovy parallel to the shank of the hook. Use magic thread to wrap bait to shank. It won't come off...ever. @@catchhappy

[@briankerwin1947]

What size hook are you using

[@andoniades]

That fishing spot looks awfully like Cuttings Wharf

[@catchhappy]

Sure does. Wink.

[@richardsanchez5983]

How do you do a tutorial on fishing and not even catch a fish😂

[@catchhappy]

Fishing ain't catching :)

[@Handlehandlebars]

I couldnt see any of your rigging your just moving around a bunch. Ill look elsewhere
