I caught my first stripped bass 2 weeks ago 33” and I’m hooked. I was out by Montauk close to governors island. My uncle took me to a sand bar where the edge of the water on the Bar was Bubbling and there was a decent size drop of to the terrain under water and there they were so many on the fish finder. And I caught my fish with a piece of clam within 2 minutes.

now I live by the Jones inlet I’m fishing by point lookout and tried to copy what he had done. And I couldn’t  get anything but Robins. I was out at magic hour when the sun was coming up. I don’t have a good fish finder just a single pulse but I can see schools of something underneath.

I guess what I’m asking is my uncle seemed to know exactly what location to get a stripper how do I pick my location? Please help I’m obsessed with finding another one and anything I find online is how to setup a rig

Hello John and Welcome to Bass Resource ~

 While most of what goes on here revolves around fresh water bass, I for one enjoyed many years of chasing striped bass so I can definitely relate.

A-Jay

I didn’t realize maybe someone can send a link for a place I can do research to at least understand the fish better. And

 

Yeah it’s the sickest rush I’m totally hooked, I had been fishing for flounder for a couple years and I’m the back of my mind I knew I wanted a Bass. And when I saw this fish I was just so excited lol. I can truly appreciate this sport. 

Hello and welcome to the forum.

Welcome aboard!

 

Striper bass fishing is def a rush. Good times up and down

the East Coast!

 

My first came in fresh water, 14# and 32" long. Since then

I've been out in the Chesapeake Bay and York River and 

had a blast. My youngest caught this beast a year or two

back in the James River.

It's been a l-o-o-o-o-n-g time since I've chased this particular game, but in my experience your best time of day is after dark. During the day they can be harder to find.  As for location, any building that has LOTS of neon lights on the outside of it will be worth a look inside...  ?
