Fishing Techniques: Jigging, Live Bait, and Bay Bait Chumming
Jigging
Jigging is a dynamic and effective technique for catching striped bass, particularly when they are feeding aggressively. This method involves jerking a weighted lure up and down to mimic the movements of injured prey, enticing bass to strike. Our experienced crew will guide you through the nuances of jigging, ensuring you have the best chance of landing a trophy fish. The rhythmic motion of jigging not only attracts striped bass but also engages the angler in an active and thrilling fishing experience.
Live Bait
Using live bait is another popular method for targeting striped bass, especially in the fall when they are feeding voraciously in preparation for the winter months. We provide a selection of live bait options, such as bunker and eels, which are known to attract large striped bass. Our crew is skilled in the art of live bait fishing and will assist you in setting up your rig for maximum effectiveness. The use of live bait often results in more natural presentations, increasing your chances of a successful catch.
Bay Bait Chumming
Bay bait chumming is a traditional technique that involves releasing a steady stream of bait into the water to attract schools of fish to your location. This method is particularly effective in the bays and inlets where striped bass are known to congregate. With our expert guidance, you’ll learn how to create an irresistible bait trail that draws in the big fish. Chumming not only increases the likelihood of attracting striped bass but also creates an exciting environment where fish are actively feeding around your boat.
