HOW TO CATCH STRIPED BASS ON SP MINNOW

Bone on a dark night? 🤔 Do you usually use bone at night? Do you find the darker colors work at night better?

i almost always pulse the retrieve on the sp every few seconds and particularly as i enter and exit what i know will be the strike zone. they're fairly dynamic plugs and particularly in current you will be shocked at how wide they will swim if you pulse them and give them time to go out to one side. then they'll dart back quickly to compensate. they will also dive on the pulse, or in some cases even rise depending on your rod angle and the amount of current and tension. my rule of thumb is that all sp minnows are sinking plugs. you will need to beef up the splits and the hooks and invariably you will go beyond the threshold of buoyancy and the plug will sink. "floating" sps become slow sinking, "sinking" become a slightly faster sinking, deeper diving plug. but make no mistake, these are surface plugs designed to get strikes from fish who are feeding in the top 3-4 feet of the water column and hiding beneath in the boulders. ideally you are working your plugs right over the top of structure and in current where the plug will start to do its dance and get off that steady centerline wobble. they are generally the first plug out of my bag at night. they absolutely crush.

Do you like the laser shiner color

How long of a flouro leader do you use?

If you’re fishing at night turn off your light 🤗

thanks for the tips. i just got a mackerel sp minnow and looking to hook some hogs but i want to make sure im not wasting my time

Just picked some up at dicks earlier today hoping to get some luck

Thabks for this, every video i have watched people throw it and rip it back fast as possible. Gonna go try this in a few.

Thanks for showing I’ve been reeling way too fast

Why would they be on bottom at night?Water still to cold at that time for surface activity?

Thanks bro! I didn’t know is two types sp minnows,

West coast?

What size and weight minnow are you using?

This is in new jersey?

So you could fish striped bass at night ? Was the lure glow in the dark
