Hi All,

Great site and stoked to have found it. Grew up in Far Rockaway, NY and fished Jamaica Bay. Spent time in Buffalo and loved the Niagra River below the Falls as well as Erie and Ontario. Thawed out in CA where I liked fishing the Bay as well as streams in the Sierras. I am back in the area and want to tackle Strippers on the Hudson GWB area as well as surf casting out in Atlantic Beach and Long Beach NY. What artificials might work for either or both locations? Pics would be great. I have 5 great docks jutting out in the Hudson w/in 15 minutes of my place and everyone uses bunker and worms. Any and all suggestions welcome.

HI Everyone,
I'm Rambo. I fish a lot but I have a horrible striper record. I am here to meet fishing buddies and to learn from the pros.

Cheers,
Rambo

Thanks for creating such a great site for all these people, and thanks for letting me be a part of it. I'm down in so jersey and rarely go north of Island beach state park. I love to fish the surf and looking to land mt first striper out of it soon. I'm already taking advantage of some suggestions I've read here and am always trying to learn more. Just finished the classic "striper surf" by diagnault. Which has been eye opening to say the least. If anyone has specifics about NJ fishing (i.e. bait, plugs shapes and sizes, general locations and beach buggy info) I'm all ears. See you guys on the beach.

All,

Just joined, I am a New York Transplant to North East NC, Navy brought me to Hampton Roads and I decided to stay, now if I can just figure out how to fish the Albemarle I will really be happy. Primarily fish out of Elizabeth City, has proven to be a challenge but it should make future success even more sweet. I still drag up to Norfolk for a little self respect because the Albermarle has kicked my butt on numerous occassions. Looking forward to gaining some advice on how to fish these areas.

Hi Guys. I am completely new to Striped Bass Fishing. As a young fellow many years ago I fished off piers for mackerel. We used a stick, a string and a mackerel jig. Hey it works. More recently I was introduced to fly fishing for small mouth bass which was great, but I know next to nothing about fishing with a spinning reel or for that matter fishing a tidal river. I recently moved to Shubenacadie in Nova Scotia. Bass are in the river about 200 feet from my backdoor so I thought I'd give it a go. I bought a open cast reel and ordered a rod. What next?

Thanks for any advice.

Mike

The New Brunswick and Nova Scotia Forum and the stripers101 thread. The stickies and the instructional reads.

lots to digest. take your time look through the stickies. rigs lures and equipment. etc etc. What to purchase then look at the site beginners clinic reads.
