Mono leader is the ticket. I use 25lb leaders. After catching a few fish, just slide you fingers to feel the leader line for any damages. Change it if you can feel kinks in the line, if you dont change it then you may lose the next fish which could be your PB.
Sure thing. I was using the Whisker Seeker FMJ Rod Model 7'6" 1 piece MH. Main Line was RUNCL 60lb powerbraid. Leader line was 18inches of 25lb mono line tied to a 5/0 Gamakatsu circle hook. I was using the fish finder rig with a 6oz pyramid weight. Check out this link of my other video for more information. ruclips.net/video/uf9Svq4AgH8/видео.html
@@calloftheoutdoors8941 Do you like the 7’6” /MH or would you go for there 9’6” / H for bank fishing. I’m trying to decide between those two. I’m concerned about snapping the 7’6” with a 6oz weight plus bait. Also distance if that wound be important on sac river. Thanks again.
@@sevensmith9123 This is the only whisker seeker I have and you can cast a 6oz sinker, but it does bend quite a bit when I'm retrieving my bait which makes the retrieve difficult. So, I do think a rod with more backbone will work better if you are throwing 6oz weight and up. As for distance, I catch my stripers close to shore so I made my decision based on convenience of a shorter rod.
There is still some keeper stripers roaming around, but not much. I've already called it quits on this striper season. If you go out there today then good luck!
Yeah theres still plenty of fish. I always use 6oz weight becuase it is better to use a heavier weight when using a circle hook. I park on the streets and yes they do charge for parking bro.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Between the three trips, the first trip was a week and a half ago and the last trip was less than a week ago. Also, I went back there a few days ago and we landed some nice ones. I am currently editing that video and it will post on my channel next week.
Just like what @portalmasterry6765 said for the most part. I've caught quite a few keepers last week and that video is coming up next week so there's still some keepers roaming the river system.
You are right that there are alot of shakers around, but I was out this last weekend and we slayed them. Im working on editing that video now. My suggestion is look for a spot that is a little deeper. They tend to hold the bigger fish.
🤣I was thinking the same when I was having a hard time seeing the numbers when I was editing the video. I got you, I'll be picking up a new tape measure soon. Thanks for watching!
I totally understand. Just remember to be patient and don't set the hook when you get those small bites because they are undersized fish only. Allow your bait to have a chance for a big fish to come by and take it. And If the undersized fish pick your hook clean, oh well. You wouldn't be able to keep them anyways even if you were able to hook them small ones. BE Patient and good luck!
Hope you don’t mind all the questions but I have another one. I have everything but the leader. Do you use a mono or fluorocarbon leader?

Hell yea
Stripers are so fun to catch. I can't wait for the next Spring Run!
What size weights? Will 4oz do?
I used 6 oz pyramid weights.

Great catch bud! 🎣 that’s also my go to spot. Love that tree!😅
It's a very popular spot as you know 😃 Thanks for watching!
Do you have a link on the owner hook you’re using. Thanks for the tips!
Sure thing Chris! Here's the link; www.amazon.com/Owner-American-Line-Circle-37-Pack/dp/B000ALJ92O/ref?th=1
You think they are still out in the sac river right now? I’m gonna go tomorrow but since it’s hot idk how it will affect the fishing
There is still some keeper stripers roaming around, but not much. I've already called it quits on this striper season. If you go out there today then good luck!
Hi my friend, how directions to your hot spot?
And what bait?
It is in West Sacramento by Sutter Health Park(baseball stadium).
I was using Pile Worms.
I love that spot! Just tired of targeting stripers 😅 nice video man!
Thanks man! NOt enough time and too many fishing options right now.
what baits do you use
IN this video, I was using pile worms.
@@calloftheoutdoors8941 thank you
damn still hitting in town huh. What size weights are you using and hows the current? where do you park at any fees?
Yeah theres still plenty of fish. I always use 6oz weight becuase it is better to use a heavier weight when using a circle hook. I park on the streets and yes they do charge for parking bro.

Good video..when do take it??

i thought the season was over
Stripers are a year round fish in the sac. The majority of the fish are shakers once you get past the spring and fall run.

@@calloftheoutdoors8941 ok,thank you 🙌🏾
West Sacramento ??
Yes Sir!
Which part ? I want to give it a try
@@khmerlife9854 It over there by the West Sacramento Sign. Good luck!
Where this at looks like a nice spot
This is over there on the West Sacramento side of the Sacramento River and north of Miller Park.
thanks bro I was at Freeport bridge n got skunk lol first time ever there
@@Antdog4 That happens to us all. Try a different spot that has deeper water and go early mornings or evenings.
@@calloftheoutdoors8941 oh okay thanks for the tip !
Don't know you're still catching keepers. I've been getting a bunch of shakers with blood and pile.
You are right that there are alot of shakers around, but I was out this last weekend and we slayed them. Im working on editing that video now. My suggestion is look for a spot that is a little deeper. They tend to hold the bigger fish.
No we can’t see u need a new tape measure lol

I appreciate the circle hook tips.. I think my problem is that I can't get the fish to commit lol. I will have to keep trying

Way too many snags there
Trust me I know it. That is why I pre-tie some leader/hooks so I don't have to tie the whole rig when I'm trying to fish.
