FIshing Mcnears before a Storm ( King tide)

📅 Filmed January 4th

Me, Scott, and Pierin head out to McNears Pier hoping to hook up during a powerful King Tide. These extreme tides can completely change the bite — and in this video I show you exactly how I adjust.

I break down:
• My full striped bass setup 🎣
• How I fish during heavy tide conditions 🌊
• What it actually feels like battling wind and shifting water
• The exact timing we watch for when the tide turns

The weather goes off and on, and we stay locked in, keeping a sharp eye on the water. When the tide shifts, we bait up and stay close to our rods — because when striped bass move in, they hit in schools and you have to be ready to set the hook instantly.

If you want to learn how to target striped bass during strong tidal movement, this one’s for you.

👉 Do you prefer incoming or outgoing tide for stripers?
