How to Focus your Fishing Efforts on the Best Striped Bass Areas

By Greg Fornier


Now that I have ensured that we have remembered to get my fishing poles, it is time to splash the fishing boat and begin trolling for striped bass.

Locating a great place to troll for striped bass with the tube and worm is regarded as the challenging and important aspect of tube and worm trolling. The best gear, best performing tubes and juiciest sandworms will never catch anything if there are not any bass in the spot you are trolling for striped bass. Thus it's important to establish a strategy for finding productive locations, before setting the lines and trolling for striped bass.

Full books are actually written regarding how to find striped bass. There is not any uncertainty that moon phases, tides, weather patterns etc. all involve some kind of impact on where striped bass go. Regrettably, where I go fishing in Cape Cod Bay, inspite of my best efforts, I have in no way been able to accurately forecast where the bass will be based on any type of variable.

Take what occurred to me this past week as an example. While I write this article, it is the middle of the summer and we've experienced a full 7 days of maintained east breezes. This past Saturday the breeze diminished down to the point that it was dead calm. We advanced out on the water, located fish in 20 feet of water within Cape Cod Bay, and stayed with them when they swam up tight towards the beachfront. It was a terrific night on the Bay, as we hooked more than 30 big striped bass up to forty two lbs.

A couple of days afterwards an identical weather pattern occurred just as before. An easterly breeze died down as nighttime approached. The weather was literally exactly like during the prosperous fishing trip of two nights prior. The phase of the moon and stage of the tide were just right, and I had high hopes for a repeat of the earlier fishing trip. We found striped bass inside the same spot in 23 ft of water off of a well-known swimming beach. Regrettably the bass vanished, and did not venture in tight to the beachfront. I searched around for three hours while not marking anything. We headed back to the dock having hooked just one fish-absolutely bewildered concerning the place that the fish went.

My point is that often in spite of the greatest approach, log book, and technology, I am frequently fully "bam-boozled" by striped bass. Once I believe I have them worked out, they toss me on a loop and bring me down again to Earth.

Using a trustworthy, correctly fitted, colour sonar unit is surely an absolute must for that search strategy I typically implement. Generally there won't be any surface indicators (breaking stripers, diving birds etc.) bringing me towards the stripers, thus I was required to create a strategy making use of my electronics to help me come across the stripers which I knew were out there, someplace, in Cape Cod Bay.

I also required something that would permit me to handle vast expanses of the Bay very quickly, so it is very important that my fish-finder function well at speeds above 20 mph.

Keeping this all in mind, it is really quite doable to develop a method which will continually offer you a great likelihood at locating striped bass. With a sound strategy, you may not always locate the bass, however you will certainly place yourself in a great place for producing a terrific excursion.

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 striped bass.
