What kind of GoPro mount do you have in your sail mount?

Bsprecks - 6 years ago

Nice video! Cant wait for them to return!

Andres Jimenez - 6 years ago

Where are you fishing?

Richie Balroop - 6 years ago

Do you leave the reel on free spool with the clicker on when you drop the bunker or the reel is locked with drag?

Victor Ruiz - 6 years ago

beautiful catch sir. I have a quick question for you sir. I fish in battery park nyc.. this year I made a cooler live well for ONLY bunkers. so when I snag them I'll put them in live well FOR the next day to use. Can I use the same method you did and cast it off the pier.? by the way awesome video. thx hope to here from you soon

Hi Elias, Thanks for your video. I recently purchased a simple Lowrance fishfinder - nothing special or fancy, but thought I'd add it to my fishfinding tools ( blues, stripers in RI, MA, ME). I've seen that some guys mount their transducer on the inside of the hull of their kayak, requiring it to sense through the hull wall. What's your advice regarding mounting my transducer? Thanks, in advance.

Deep sea rod or the rod that you cast out? (Sorry don't know the name)

MAXWELL JAMES SCHELL - 7 years ago

why no stinger hook?

TheWHATBeast - 7 years ago

Would this work with bigger trolling rods

Clever Happy Derp - 7 years ago

Damn, that thing was a monster!

Iron Entertainment - 7 years ago

Does anyone know if you can safely fish the Middle Chesapeake on a sit in mayak?

Chris Riley - 7 years ago

What time of the year is the best time to go fishing for stripers using this method? Also what time of the day is the best time to go fishing for them on a kayak? Thanks

EliasVFishing - 7 years ago

+Chris Riley Typically the month of May is best for me in NYC. Sunrise/early morning are best for me.

OutOfTheBlue Fishing - 7 years ago

do you usually go out in the early morning or do you mainly focus on tides ?

Antonio Roberts - 7 years ago

How would you keep the fish

Jt Hopkins - 7 years ago

*spawning

Jt Hopkins - 7 years ago

u can but u would wanna let that 1 go to spawn u should keep eneything from 5-18 pounds for best tasting meat and sawing purposes

Kayvon Haghighi - 7 years ago

How would you recommend rigging live peanut bunker

Elias any great ideas to keep live bait on my kayak. any suggestions would be much appreciated. thanks Roy

EliasVFishing - 8 years ago

Brave Zealot7 - 8 years ago

How do U know where the fishes are?

Dev - 8 years ago

Ok thanks

EliasVFishing - 8 years ago

+Devin Lall Near structure 90% of the time.

Robert Balderas - 8 years ago

Bunker? Is that shad here in Texas? How did you get the bait?

EliasVFishing - 8 years ago

+Robert Balderas They are usually called pogy or menhaden south of virginia.

Pheng Xiong - 8 years ago

how would we know a bunker shad from a american shad ? im asking cause its ilegal to use american shad in california dont want to get busted for using the wrong shad .

Jt Hopkins - 7 years ago

plus shad are fresh water not salt

EliasVFishing - 8 years ago

+Pheng Xiong Not sure if you have bunker on the west coast, check your marine fisheries website.

mario ingargiola - 8 years ago

i want to surf fish for stipers over ny jfk airport in ny. im new to fishing for stripers and shore fishing got any tips or techniques i should use.

MrXinsizionx - 7 years ago

You can chunk bunker or snag and live line from the surf.

Jay Henderson - 8 years ago

John Van Ess - 8 years ago

Nice Fish!!

Ronnie - 8 years ago

Any reason for using a 9/0 gami octopus hook? I see a lot of people use 7/0's, just curious. Nice video

EliasVFishing - 8 years ago

+Jimmy Shwiggles Live bunker are really big in my opinion. Can't get a consistent hook set with a 7/0 imo.

RiverRuns NC - 8 years ago

That's a beautiful striped bass!

EliasVFishing - 8 years ago

+YakMan NC Thanks about 25lbs.

Angel Ly - 8 years ago

Nice catch but where's the real boat with that skill of your?

EliasVFishing - 8 years ago

+Angel Ly I prefer the challenge of the kayak. Too easy on a boat.

Mike Shahin - 8 years ago

Keep up the good videos fish on bud

Tom Geldner - 8 years ago

Are you sponsored by Ecooda? Or what made you use that rod/reel and what do you think of the reels? Have been looking at their products. Wondering how well their cast controls work.

Tom Geldner - 8 years ago

+EliasV Thanks. How well does the cast control on the Tiro work? The website is pretty sparse on info about it.

EliasVFishing - 8 years ago

+Tom Geldner I am sponsored. I like the BlackHawk as a spinning reel for saltwater use and the Tiro for livelining bay stripers.

Tong J - 8 years ago

How to find school bait?

Tong J - 8 years ago

How deep was the water? Can I use this method in water about 20ft? In this time of the year how deep water can find stripers?

EliasVFishing - 8 years ago

+Tong J This was close to 30 feet. Depends where you are....but they can be anywhere from very shallow up to 50 feet in general.

BC Mercrow - 8 years ago

I catch stripers the same way in Northern California :) I use anchovies though because that's what the stripers feed on here. Very nice video!

Tommy Schwartzie - 8 years ago

Hi Elias, awesome video! Just one question- when using alive or dead bunker for stripers, how do you know when to set the hook?

Tommy Schwartzie - 8 years ago

+EliasV Great! Thanks so much! Keep up the great vids!

EliasVFishing - 8 years ago

+Tommy Schwartzie With live bunker, I just wait for a steady run and count a few seconds... in general five seconds and swing HARD.

EliasVFishing - 8 years ago

Greg Bickel - 8 years ago

Just bought a trophy 126 sit-in kayak. Have jetty fished for years but now want to be able to reach those fish that are not in close, in your opinion what are my limitations as far as distance and conditions for having a sit in kayak with no skirt for fishing? I'm new to kayak fishing just not trying to have a BIG problem on the water

EliasVFishing - 8 years ago

+Greg Bickel I wouldn't got near most south shore jetties with 8 years of experience. I have done over 10 miles round trip, but some areas I won't mess with.

Quabbin with Coop - 8 years ago

What rod/reel combo are you using in this video for live lining?

Quabbin with Coop - 8 years ago

+EliasV Great, thanks man. Look forward to your next vid.

EliasVFishing - 8 years ago

I'd go with the 6' 6" one.

Quabbin with Coop - 8 years ago

+EliasV My local shops ony carry the Trevala rods. Have u used one before? Would you suggest the 7' ML(2-4.75oz) or the 6'6" M (2.5-7oz)? Thx for all the help.

EliasVFishing - 8 years ago

8' is a little too long for a kayak especially with live lining. I like 6'6" best.

Quabbin with Coop - 8 years ago

+EliasV I have a Shimano Convergence 8ft Heavy rod. Says it can handle 2-12oz. Wonder how well that would work in a yak for live lining?

EliasVFishing - 8 years ago

I feel up to 8oz is as heavy as I'd go,. You are going to go well over any rod that isn't a broomstick with live bunker. The most important feel in a live lining rod is the hookset in my opinion. The whole motion is in your arms as opposed to the surf or on a boat. The more work the rod can do for you the better. That's the main reason I'm using this rod.

Quabbin with Coop - 8 years ago

+EliasV I see that those rods are rated for 3.5-4.5oz. I realize thats lure weight and doesnt apply much to livelining as your not casting it like a lure. Knowing that, whats the max lead weight you feel is ok on this rod? Or does Lure weight closely match that of the max lead weight?

EliasVFishing - 8 years ago

+1020coop At my workstation it's a Daiwa 6'6" M Jigging Rod with an Ecooda Tiro 50A with 30lb KastKing braided line. On the water I had the same rod with an Abu Garcia Ambassadeur 6500 with 30lb KastKing braid.

MA022412 - 8 years ago

Yeah is cool idea you could also show people where you mount the transducer. Best of luck

Manny

MA022412 - 8 years ago

That was a very good video, when you have a chance please show what you see on your fish finder so we can see what you see to determine what's underneath your yak? Thanks

EliasVFishing - 8 years ago

+MA022412 Great video idea, what I look for on my fishfinder.

chris rivara - 8 years ago

Do you live in Rockaway?

Long Island Fishing - 8 years ago

Great video, I was doing the same thing in that same spot and I noticed that 99 percent of the time I was getting a bass after the bluefish chopped the bunker up

Jt Hopkins - 7 years ago

+Long Island Fishing man I love stripped bass they fight well and taste good but of I hook a blue fish I'll eat him to

Long Island Fishing - 8 years ago

+EliasV Yes and its ironic that a lot of people complain about the blue fish, but they are sometimes a bass fisherman's best friend

EliasVFishing - 8 years ago

+Long Island Fishing I think they are just sitting and watching, and after the bluefish loses interest sometimes they attack.

Hooked Up - 8 years ago

Nice Elias. Just got me pumped up for the weekend!!! Hope they are biting in the Great South Bay

EliasVFishing - 8 years ago

+Hooked Up They are there too I hear.

Jimmy Pics - 8 years ago

Do you only fish Jamaica Bay or do you move around?

Jimmy Pics - 8 years ago

JBAY is where the action is in the spring. Big stripers are being caught off of Long Beach right now. Huge Bunker schools over there.

EliasVFishing - 8 years ago

+J Hursala I move around. But I stick to NYC more or less. Staten Island, JBAY, NY Harbor, Western Long Island sound.

Mike V - 8 years ago

Elias great video. You mentioned in the video guide services. How do I get info on that?

EliasVFishing - 8 years ago

+Mike V Here is my website: All my guiding is one on one, unless larger parties are requested.
