Fall Striper Fishing!

The boys hit the CA Delta in search of Striped Bass and they found them! If you think this video is exciting just wait for what comes next... MONSTER STRIPER!

The were having a blast catching striper but took the time to stop and teach how to catch consistent numbers of striped bass on Swim Jigs, Topwater, and Spoons. 

Part of what makes Striper so fun to fish for is their aggression. Anyone can catch these fish! The baits we're throwing make it extremely simple to trigger reaction strikes. There is no need for finesse, no need for natural presentations, you can fish hard with heavy tackle and have a blast!
