Springtime Stripers – How We Caught Them This Week

Season 2 of the Bay Rats & Buoys podcast kicks off as Captain Gaige and First Mate Kory hit the water to dial in springtime striped bass! If you’re fishing for striped bass this spring, especially in the back bays, this is the video for you. We launched on Monday and spent the day chasing slot-sized striped bass using our favorite spring striped bass lures—small swim shads and the deadly Yo-Zuri 3D Minnow. The Yo-Zuri was the clear winner, helping us land and tag quality slot bass before releasing them healthy.

Striped bass fishing in early spring is heating up, with water temps in the harbor between 50-52°F and bay temps at 46°F. As the weather warms, expect even more action in the back bays where these stripers are staging and feeding. Whether you’re a tournament angler, weekend warrior, or just love striped bass action, this striped bass report has everything you need to catch more fish this spring.

Don’t miss our Season 2 podcast launch, where we talk striped bass techniques, gear, and tips from the water. Subscribe for weekly striped bass fishing videos, striped bass updates, and spring fishing reports from the back bays to the open bay!
