“He should have been there yesterday” has been the motto of my fall run as well, so I feel you on that! Still plenty of fish out there to be caught. Just have to keep persevering and hope the reward will follow!

Had me falling off the couch laughing at the end with here comes the voice over that it’s not about the fish! Like you said better than being at a desk. Great video buddy!

Aint that the truth. Having had a bad case of the "shoulda been here yesterdays", most of October into November, I found the bass on 11/29 and slammed 18 in an hour. Lucky?? Oh yes, but the perseverance paid off FINALLY!! Keep hunting and chucking. Tight lines all!!!

Love your persistence ! That's what it takes to be a successful fisherman. Tough days make for that much more excitement when you run into hot fishing.

I grew up in Monmouth County, 1 mile from the beach. I never had much luck surf casting. I did have luck jetty fishing. I used to hang all my gear on my bicycle and go from Spring Lake, to Sea Girt to Manasquan. The water looks a lot cleaner and clear than it did when I was a kid.

Water seems calm enough for a paddle board, take yourself out 200 yards into the zone!

Great episode. Oh yeah

Really great video quality and production. in my opinion this year has not been half as good as last year I missed about five sessions because I procrastinated I have an hour drive I have been catching them on Spin and fly I especially loved your Release Technique with the rod on your shoulder I've never seen that before very nice good job out there good luck!

Blitzing in Ocean County after Thanksgiving. Cows all over the surf.

Lmao great video man your commentary is funny as hell 🤣we have all been there chasing reports just to arrive as the bite dies down. part of the game of chasing bites i suppose...

Amazingly, I saw a brief striper blitz yesterday (Nov. 28) PM in Sandy Bay, Rockport, MA. ...late departures, obviously.

nice release. most people would drag the fish 15 feet up the beach, then tape measure, the picture and then release.

14:55 Sweet Tony 😍😍

Stripers been on fire in Jersey ‼️‼️‼️ im in North Jersey and fish from the pier... I've caught one keeper, all the others too big 40s" & 50s"... My keeper was 31"

the bite totally skipped us here in Ct we didn't even have silversides

Man you put on a great show it was fun watching you hunt them come on down to Nc we nail them in the winter in the lakes record is 66lbs so ya they get big and same as salt follow the seagulls and shad they will be there in huge schools

I feel your pain. I´ve missed all the big blow up so far. I´ve enjoyed the few fish I got and am thankful for them. I´ve enjoyed the people I have met, but it would be nice to have one blitz day. Keep at it. Tight lines

Chunk or raw clams. Fyi west winds are key in Monmouth

Man, his surf bag looks cumbersome!

Should probably have headed further south

I would still say, that was worth the trip !!

Great episode OTW! Any chance you can give us a lead on where you got the rod holder for your SUV? Having trouble fabricating mine, and yours looks pretty universal!

People see a blitz and don’t realize the biggest ones chill outside of it

I do the opposite i see the crowds and move on. I rather go home with no fish but both eyes intact and not taken out by a googan casting from behind me

Nice video Jimmy, nice rod what rod is that you're using.

I'm from Monmouth county and loved watching this. I only have one suggestion. If you're going to stick with that truck camera angle, can we get a donation pool together to get you some armor all wipes? Like I treat my vehicle as a tool as well, but you know what they say-- the camera adds 10 pounds of disgusting dust and skin cells. Keep up the great content, lad.

God rest your (our) soul(s).

Not as good as last year, been doing the same running and gunning from Sandy Hook to Seaside but not even close to the madness from last year’s fall run 🎣🍺

What reel are you using in the beginning of the video?

What rod are you using ?

What king of surf bag is that? Where too get one?

Car park fishermen

I’m sure you don’t post videos of your local spots like this back at home😂 kooks

Let me start by saying I love OTW. BUT! I have to say I don't like the way this video encourages the cell phone fisherman to follow reports. Chasing information via cell phone is everything that is wrong about surf fishing in 2023. Spot burning and encouraging the phones. This kind of behavior will be the death of surf fishing. It encourages over crowding and frankly attracts people who don't put the work in and typically those are the people leaving trash, parking illegally and giving the good guys a bad name. Find your own fish! Don't chase reports!

The people that come to Nj for the striper run have ruined striper fishing for me. I don’t even target them anymore haven’t in over 2 years now. I live a 1/4 mile from the raritan bay, been striper fishing since I was a little boy I’m in my 30s now. For over 20 years it was strictly local people fishing together having a blast, then people realized the bay was a breeding ground and feeding frenzy for them so now they trash our beaches, leave burning fires, leave dead blue fish on the beaches, illegal immigrants taking garbage bags full of small striper along with regular citizens, PA boaters who don’t have a clue how to operate a vessel anchored and trolling all over everyone in and out of anchored boats, pulling up on you if you hook up. It’s a miserable time so I thoroughly enjoy togging while everyone else is being sucked in by the striped bass. It’s a shame they’re beautiful fish, no wonder the state keeps pushing for tougher regs.
