Finicky Striped Bass | Micro Bait | Surface Erasers
Captain Mike joins Captain Ray Jarvis for a striper fishing session in Buzzards Bay, discussing their techniques for early-season fishing. They use a 'Walk & Gun' approach to drift towards schools of fish, utilizing light tackle and slow retrieves with the Hogy Surface Eraser. The focus is on distance casting and subtle movements to attract finicky fish. The fishing conditions are windy, and they adjust their tackle accordingly for better results, emphasizing humane catch-and-release practices
They use a slow retrieve method, referred to as the "needle fish retrieve," to mimic the subtle movements of small baits. Surface erasers are designed for long-distance casting and slow sinking.
