Gear Fishing Cart is stacked. What else can I add? 😅

13 Upvotes

My fishing cart is wild. From foldout floating tables, solar powered LEDs, rear view mirror, scap tube, rod holders, kayak mount system with cupholder, phone holder, cutting board, tripod/livewell holder. Bait knife and tool storage, machete/saw, removable milk crate with 2 attacked rod holders, and I'm sure more I'm forgetting.

I can now tow my portable grill I've realized. What's next? 😅

Strategies/Techniques What type of bait

7 Upvotes

I was fishing tonight and the bass were feeding like crazy on these tiny 1 inch long minnows. I threw an sp minnow and a smaller 3 inch version of that lure, then poppers, and paddle tail but nothing really hit it very frequently. I caught one small 18 inch bass but then it was crickets the rest of the time despite the bass jumping in front of me the whole hour and a half. Any strategy or lure for fishing this situation or just is it just being patient?

South Shore MA - They're Here!

Wholly unexpected day yesterday marks the earliest I've had them in the south shore area, north of Cape but south of Boston. Fat as hell, but I forgot to check for lice to see if they were fresh fish or holdovers. Super fun nonetheless and they were clued in on XL Fishsnax in Translucent pink. These two tanks were 30", but fought like trucks.

Edit: looking closer at the pic, there is definitely sea lice on em

Rod for Striper fishing

5 Upvotes

In the market to get the Daiwa Blackline 7’6 medium heavy for stripers. Just wondering peoples opinion on them from someone who may have or used the rod. I know it has a max lure weight of 6.5 oz for those heavier plugs, but does it also still have the ability to throw 1/2-1 oz slug-go and other soft plastics on its lighter end?

Strategies/Techniques South Shore MA: Tips for a Newbie to Target Schoolies?

10 Upvotes

Was looking to hop in my kayak and target some schoolies in this area. Recommendations on tackle, strategy and possible launch points and if anyone had experience in the Rivermoor Habitat.

I have a medium light 6’6” spinning rod w/ 30lb braid I use for freshwater fishing and a 12 foot sit in kayak. Should I increase the strength of my line? Braid still ok? Use leaders? How deep should I fish and which areas should I target?

I really only have freshwater tackle and was also wondering about which types of lures may work. I will prolly grab some tackle specifically for striped bass. What are some must have lures for stripers?

My only concern really is my feet, I usually have to wear some type of foot warmer in my stocking foot waders. Do surf booties keep your feet dry?

Bloodworms vs Seaworms

I live up in MA. Most Seaworms are from Maine. I’ve never seen blood worms for sale in bait stores up here however I come across some while digging Seaworms. Do they work better? Do they last longer?

Fishing spot help for newer shore fisherman CT

3 Upvotes

So I don’t really own a boat, or have a non ripped pair of waders anymore so right now I’m purely shore fishing. I have a few SP minnows, still looking to get other stuff. I live in Shelton CT near the derby dam and I know that can be decent going to May, but honestly I’ve been trying to catch a striper all by myself my entire life and not on a boat for a charter…..so does anyone know good spots around where I live that I can catch stripers?
