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!

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.

@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS 7 жыл бұрын

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!

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. 😁.

What set up would you suggest if I'm fishing from shore?

@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS 7 жыл бұрын

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.

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

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 .

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.

What is the purpose of a leader line if it's the same lb test monofilament line as the main line?

@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS 3 жыл бұрын

Without a swivel the line will twist when the bait spins in the current.

@MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS 3 жыл бұрын

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.

Thanks for posting, we do something similar in SOCAL, live deans nose hook, slow trolled with fluoro and swivel or even straight line, using a bait runner so when they pick it up they can run and take line. Circle hooks, can't beat the technique. May I ask what part of the country you are in?
