Of course you can catch stripers on other lures, like I say in the video, but during the early spring time when water and weather is still cool, I like to use the JoeBaggs Swarters, Daiwa SP Minnows, and the Yo-Zuri Mag Darters the most. You barely need to work them, and they produce fish. Watch the video for more details and info on these baits!

Good selection
If you recommend changing hooks, recommend the single hooks not the tri hooks. Fish are so difficult to pull off of tri hooks
Great video which one Meg darter are you using floating or singking please and thank you
I upgraded the Blurple lure with a sharpee permanent marker glow in the dark green color. It increase catch rate by X2.
What situations would you throw a minnow vs a darter?
What size mustad hook are you using 1/0, or 2/0?
Very helpful video, sir. Thanks for sharing all this info. New subscriber to your Chanel.
The shake and bake method… never fails 3am on the beach !! Tight lines for all this spring
he is right about changing the hooks,stripers are alot stronger than people think,they bust knots and straighten hooks easily.
What size treble hooks
when should i start trying for strippers on long island north shore?
I fish by the Atlantic beach bridge a lot and it’s hard for me to catch striped bass there do u have any tips or lures that I could try thanks❤
I am learning so much from your videos.
if anyone actually sees this and recognized me don't be afraid to say hello I'm always the guy with a plug bag with rosary beads hanging off of it and a waterproof speaker blaring musicit's a small world it's even smaller on Long island and specially when you're a surffisherman you don't know how many times I can't leave run into surf fisherman from Long island on YouTube bear with me speech to text is not working completely and I'm slightly drunk😂
Buy particular favorite lure for early springtime fishing is a Gibbs metal lip Danny pattern mostly with the wire bent down and have it just working the surface by an inch or two under the surface of the water and I remove the tailhook off every time and put a flag and mostly I worked that on the inlets I'm not going to say which spots but on the on Long island on the South shore particularly on a sweepingand how I fish it is barely cranking my real handle and just having it just pretty much staying in one spot kicking left and right left and right in a sweeping current pretty much fishing it from 5:00 and let it drift past 12:00 to 9:00 I'm at and if the current is sweeping the other way be vice versa you get it
Looks like your right next to the old Frank and dicks…. Sparing schools already in my canal!
Because of you and Erica smashing big bass on Mag Darters especially Erica with that giant on a yellow one I now own a "4700" size box full of them in Blurple, Yellow and Bone!! I caught my 2 PB on the blurple 5 inch and yes I changed the hardware…😂😂🎣
Thanks for another informative video catchem’ up!
Dude. Almost cried at the closing song. Brought back a plethora of awesome memories.. Much love my brother. Let’s catch ‘em up.
Slow because the early spring bass r lethargic
Your recommendation are on the money.
Clear worms are probably glass eels
White Bucktails tipped with jig strips!!!
Omg
Whole lots of information!!!!!
See you out there soon 😊
Have you ever surf cast the Raritan early spring early april what would be your go to or if you were beach fishing sandy hook
