Surfcasting For Striped Bass (With John Skinner)

http://john%20skinner%20striped%20bass

John Skinner just might be the best striped bass fisherman in the world.

He routinely catches monster stripers from shore (he’s even caught stripers over 50 pounds!) and is one of the most sought-after speakers about how to catch them.

And guess what?

Today, he’s sharing a ton of tips with us about how to catch stripers from shore.

Whether you’re fishing bays, creeks, beaches, or inlets, this podcast episode will help you out.

Here’s a sneak peak of what we covered:

  • How to read a beach to find feeding striped bass (and how to make adjustments if you don’t find them right away)
  • The best lures to use for striped bass — this depends on the conditions
  • The surprising answer he gave to a seminar attendee when asked, “How long do you stay at a spot if you’re not getting strikes?”
  • The best tides and currents for striped bass
  • And much more

You can watch the video version of this podcast below (which I recommend since we show some great striper spots), listen to the audio version by clicking the play button underneath it, or listen to it on iTunes, Stitcher, or Spotify.

He’s a true master of surfcasting, but still humble, helpful, and remembers what it’s like to be a beginner.

If you want a copy of his striped bass and fluke mastery courses, go to SaltStrong.com/Skinner.

Both of these courses are just like sitting on the boat or beach right next to John as he shows you what he’s doing and why as he catches fish after fish.

Have any questions about catching striped bass?
