   FISHING FOR STRIPED BASS

           L.B.I. STYLE

    There are different ways to fish for your trophy fish. A popular one with the boaters is to anchor in the inlet or bay with clams and or bunker. Some prefer to troll. Some of the popular lures to troll with are bunker spoons, stretch plugs and umbrella rigs. Some people like to drift eels. You can only hope the bluefish are not in that area that day. Eels are also used by the boats that like to troll the white water. They will put an eel on a bucktail to troll and or the will use a bucktail with pork rind. Jigging is another popular way of catching bass. Ava jigs and weighted shads work well for this type of fishing. The last few years we have had a lot of bunker in our waters so the snag and drop method has become popular for big bass. You snag your bunker and leave it on the snag and wait for a fish to come along and eat that fish that looks like an easy prey.

 

If you are fishing in a tournament you have to take that bunker off the snag and re hook it on a different hook to be IGFA legal. Gang hooks are not IGFA.

 

Fishing in the surf you do not have all this options. You either bait fish with bunker and clams being the most popular or you throw lures. There are so many types of lures that you can use.

There are top water lures such as poppers, there are surface lures, such as bombers, redfins, darters and then there are your metals that you can work slowly to drag the bottom. You also have your jigging lures such as avas and bucktails. You can use shads, gulp, fin-s, and slugos and retrieve them in different ways to get the action you want.

 We carry a lot of these items in the store along with large nets.

 A lot of people have not caught a large striper in their lifetime so if you don't want it please release it to swim for another day then someone else can enjoy the excitement of catching their "Trophy Fish".
