Looking to catch my first Striper
Sunday is the day! Going down to some inlets to try and catch my first ever striped bass. I’m going to be throwing metals (kastmaster, deadly Dick, etc) all around the inlets.
Anyone have tips for a first timer? I’d be happy to catch anything, and will hopefully be there all day. Not looking to spot burn or anything, just hoping for a little bit of luck and success! Thanks in advance. Tight lines all! |

Get to a Sponser tackle shop and pick up a few poppers. Different colors I’m sure they will point you in the right direction. Good luck and post a report!

I would also use a bunker color storm shad, 6". If in the inlets, cast up against the tide and keep it on the bottom. You may loss a few, but will catch more stripers.

Re: Looking to catch my first Striper
Have a good set of needle nose pliers handy for removing treble hooks! Top water popper and a school bus bomber are my go to fall lures as well as the yo zurri sp minnow.
Good luck!!

Re: Looking to catch my first Striper
I 2nd the school bus bomber. Caught countless bass on it..... Also, as Andy mentioned the night is the best time for a shore guy to catch bass unlesss you encounter fish blitzing on the beach during the day, which for the most part only occurs in the Fall ... Snag and dropping peanuts is a good way to go if you encounter that....If you choose to venture out at and night and fish the jettys. Korkers are a must and I would recommend fishing with a buddy who knows the ropes....Long handled gaffs and elastic held headlamps also help... The headlamps free up your hands. It is a physically demanding way to go, hopping from rock at the waters edge, but it can be crazy if you find a cove/area holding fish. Always use extreme caution and wear bibs, NOT WADERS. Learned that one the hard way getting dunked off of the Allenhurst jetty 10 or so years ago. It is not fun and you could lose your life if you do not use your head. Good Luck

Point Pleasant canal fish two hours before sunset and two hours after with eels! Storm shads work well too
