Once I've made certain that I have remembered to take my fishing rods, it's finally time to splash the vessel and commence trolling for striped bass.
Locating a good place to troll for striped bass with the tube and worm is easily the most challenging and important factor of tube and worm trolling. The most effective gear, best performing tubes and juiciest worms will never catch even one striper if there isn't any striped bass in the region where you are trolling for striped bass. Consequently it's vital to develop a approach to finding productive locations, prior to setting the lines and trolling for striped bass.
Complete guides have been published on how to find striped bass. There is not any doubt that moon phases, tides, weather patterns etc. all have some sort of influence on where stripers go. Unfortunately, where I go fishing in Cape Cod Bay, in spite of my earnest efforts, I have in no way managed to correctly predict the place that the striped bass will be based on any sort of variable.
Take what occurred to me this past week for instance. As I publish this write-up, it is the middle of September and we've had a full 7 days of maintained east breezes. This past Saturday the breeze diminished down to the point that it was flat calm. We headed out on the water, found striped bass in 19 feet of water inside of Cape Cod Bay, and stayed with the fish when they swam up tight towards the beach. It was a great evening fishing, while we captured around 30 large stripers to as much as forty two pounds.
48 hrs down the road a simliar weather pattern occurred just as before. An onshore breeze diminished as nighttime approached. The weather was literally exactly the same as during the prosperous fishing trip of two nights ago. Moon phases and stage of the tide were just right, so I had huge hopes for a repeat of the previous trip. We discovered stripers inside the very same spot in 20 ft of water off a well-liked swimming beach. Unfortunately the fish vanished, and did not move up tight to the beachfront. I looked around for three hours while not marking anything. We all headed back to the dock having hooked-up with one bass-completely puzzled regarding the location where the fish went.
My point is that regardless of the finest strategy, log book, and electronic devices, I am frequently totally "bam-boozled" by striped bass. As soon as I think I've the fish understood, they throw me for a loop and bring me down again to Earth.
Using a trusted, correctly mounted, colour sonar device is surely an absolute must for the search strategy I generally utilize. Typically there won't be any surface indications (breaking stripers, diving birds etc.) guiding me to the stripers, hence I was required to develop a strategy making use of my sonar and GPS which helped me to discover the stripers which I suspected were out there, somewhere, in Cape Cod Bay.
I also required a strategy that could permit me to handle vast expanses of the Bay rapidly, so it would be crucial that my fish-finder function effectively at speeds above twenty knots.
Trying to keep this in mind, it is rather feasible to produce a approach that should continually give you a excellent opportunity at locating striped bass. Having a sound strategy, you may not at all times locate the fish, but you will unquestionably place yourself in a fantastic position for creating a productive trip.
