Now that I have made certain we have remembered to get my fishing rods, it's finally time to splash the vessel and start trolling for striped bass.
Selecting a good place to troll for striped bass with the tube and worm is the most tough and important factor of tube and worm trolling. The most effective gear, most productive tubes and juiciest sandworms will never catch a thing if there are not any striped bass in the area where you are trolling for striped bass. Thus it's important to create a strategy for finding prosperous areas, before setting the lines and trolling for striped bass.
Full books are actually authored on how to locate striped bass. There is no doubt that moon phases, tides, weather patterns etc. all possess some kind of impact on where stripers go. Regrettably, where I fish in Cape Cod Bay, despite my most solemn attempts, I've in no way managed to adequately predict the place that the striped bass will be based on any sort of variable.
Take what occurred to me earlier this week as an example. As I publish this write-up, it is the middle of the summer and we've experienced a full 7 days of maintained east breezes. This past Sunday the wind diminished down to the point that it turned out dead calm. We advanced out on the water, uncovered stripers in 23 ft . of water inside Cape Cod Bay, and stayed with them while they moved right up to beach. It was a fantastic day on the water, as we captured more than 25 big striped bass up to 42 lbs.
Two days later an identical weather pattern developed again. An East breeze died down as nighttime approached. The weather was literally exactly the same as during the fruitful excursion of two nights ago. Moon phases and tides were just right, I had huge hopes for a repeat of the earlier fishing trip. We discovered bass inside the exact same location in 23 feet of water off a favorite swimming beach. Unfortunately the stripers disappeared, and did not move up shallow. I searched all-around for three hours without marking anything. We all went home having hooked just one striper-completely puzzled regarding the location where the bass had gone.
My point is that often inspite of the greatest strategy, log book, and electronics, I am frequently fully "bam-boozled" by striped bass. Once I believe I have the fish understood, they throw me for a loop and bring me back down to Earth.
Using a trusted, correctly fitted, colour sonar device is surely an absolute must for the search strategy I usually employ. Typically there won't be any surface signs (breaking stripers, diving birds etc.) leading me towards striped bass, consequently I had to produce a technique using my electronics to help me uncover the stripers which I suspected were out there, somewhere, in Cape Cod Bay.
I also needed a strategy that will permit me to cover great expanses of water very quickly, so it would be essential that my fish-finder function flawlessly at speeds of more than twenty miles per hour.
Keeping this in mind, it is extremely doable to cultivate a strategy that should regularly provide a great probability at finding stripers. With a strong game plan, you may not always find the bass, but you will unquestionably put yourself in an excellent situation for creating an enjoyable trip.
Even if you fish in areas with structure or current, where bass are not spread out across vast distances, using some of the guidelines described at my fishing blog-myfishingcapecod.com-will certainly increase your odds of consistently catching big fish when trolling for stripers.
