Become a Striped Bass Master
Learn How to Become a Schoolie Striped Master This Summer
As we are halfway through summer, put your fishing skills to the test and get in pursuit of schoolie striped bass. Here are some effective tips to help you out in this regard.
Bait
The very first step is luring the catch. The good news is that any bait is good enough when you are catching schoolie striped bass. All kinds of insects work since schoolie striped bass are not particularly choosy this time of the year.
Where to Catch
There is no perfect place to throw. You can sit along the shore, but jetties also work excellently. So jetties are particularly effective. You will find the backwaters to be warmer the ocean, especially if you are out fishing later afternoon. For all its worth, aim for outgoing tides for a more productive fishing expedition. Observe the water for riffs and structure.
When to Catch
Schoolies are constantly on the move, so need to grab a migration map to stay ahead of them. Depending on how much time you have, you should sample several beaches in your area and not stay in one body for water for long. Hiring a boat proves helpful in this regard as you can cover more water in this way.
What to Use?
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, you need to have the right gear for catching schoolies. Which is the perfect line for this fish? Again, there is no definite answer to this question. You can use a sinking or intermediate line, varying your depth with each cast. It is all about finding the sweet spot where most schoolies gather.
Hope you have fun fishing this summer. Stay Safe!
