How to catch striped bass by applying the fifteen min. rule.
I take advantage of the fifteen minute rule most often when striped bass are shoaling, or disseminated throughout a significant expanse of water. Perhaps I am marking striped bass that are suspended in deep water, or possibly they are feeding down a length of beachfront. In any event, when striped bass are distributed over a substantial area, the 15 Minute Rule has proven itself as an effective tool for building a successful trolling pattern.
After marking even one striped bass I will then put lines in the water. I will commence trolling in a particular course, practically always parallel to the seashore. By doing this I troll down the depth in which I marked that 1st striped bass.
I will then troll for 15 minutes, retaining a close eye on the fish finder the whole time. If after 15 minutes I haven't lured a bite, captured a striped bass, or seen any more bass on the sonar, I resume my search parallel to the beach front along the same depth until I commence noticing striped bass again. The key is to not get hung up spending hours of your time trolling through life-less water.
If I do hook a striped bass in the course of the first 15 minutes, tempt a hit, or mark more striped bass on the fish finder, then my fifteen minute clock is reset. During the past, a regular scenario I have experienced is locating a stretch of ocean, as much as a mile in length, which has held striped bass along the whole stretch. The region to the east, west, north and south of this stretch of water oftentimes contain no life at all. Being able to maximize your time in the area holding a lot of life is the key to consistently catching monstrous striped bass.
The fifteen minute rule can help me to differentiate the prosperous stretch of ocean in the following manner.
Let's say that throughout the previous half hour I've trolled a relatively straight course east through a 1/2 mile expanse of water catching striped bass the entire time. It's now been fifteen minutes since I have landed a striped bass, enticed a bite, and marked anything at all on my fish finder-indicating that I have come to the last part of the productive stretch of water.
The next step will be to reel the lines in, and cruise westward, back to where I started marking, and reeling in striped bass. I would keep a close eye on my sonar while driving, noticing any bass marks that may arise.
If I mark striped bass on my westerly cruise to where I originally began noticing striped bass then wonderful, the striped bass are still holding along the identical stretch of water which is obviously the ideal situation, particularly for anglers just learning how to catch striped bass.
Surely there will be those instances when I fail to locate striped bass during the journey westward. And after driving up to a mile west of the initial spot where I first commenced observing striped bass, I will still fail to mark any life on the fish finder. In situations like this I would preclude that the schools of bass have transitioned either shallower or deeper. I would then move into shallower or deeper water and commence a new search pattern.
Beyond a doubt, the ability to uncover striped bass with regularity is the very first stage to learning how to catch striped bass.
