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.
A couple of days afterwards a simliar weather pattern occurred again. An easterly wind diminished as evening approached. The weather was literally exactly like during the prosperous fishing trip of two nights ago. The phase of the moon and tides were just right, so I had high desires for a repeat of the prior trip. We found bass in the very same area in 22 ft of water off a popular swimming beach. Unfortunately the fish vanished, and did not venture in to shallower water. I searched around for three hours with out marking a single fish. We all departed for the marina having landed just one fish-totally puzzled as to the location where the bass had gone.
My point is that in spite of the best strategy, log book, and electronics, I'm often absolutely "bam-boozled" by stripers. As soon as I believe I've them worked out, they toss me for a loop and bring me back down to Earth.
Using a dependable, correctly fitted, colour sonar device is definitely an absolute must for that search strategy which I generally implement. Usually there are no surface signs (breaking stripers, diving birds etc.) bringing me towards the stripers, consequently I needed to develop a technique utilizing my sonar and GPS to help me discover the striped bass that I knew were out there, someplace, in Cape Cod Bay.
Furthermore , I required a strategy that could allow me to cover huge expanses of the Bay rapidly, thus it would be extremely important that my fish-finder function flawlessly at speeds of more than 20 mph.
Keeping this in mind, it is very feasible to produce a approach which will consistently give you a fantastic chance at finding striped bass. Using a sound strategy, you might not always find the bass, nonetheless, you will surely place yourself in a great situation for creating a productive trip.
