| The Northeast Angling hosts and crew
made their first trip ever to scenic Block Island, RI in late June to
learn about a unique technique from Capt Skip Stritzinger. Skip is the 2003 American Striper Association
National Champion and has won the RISAA "governor's Cup for 3 straight
years. He fishes for trophy striped bass using eels in deep water
with no weight (free-lining)! This method proved to be deadly as
he put Capt Andy and Rich on plenty of bass to over 30lbs.
If you have questions about any of the
equipment used during the show, please contact us
or send us a message.

| The outfit used consisted of a
Shimano
Torium 20 conventional reel on a matching 7' MH medium fast action
Tallus rod rated for17-30lb test line.
This combination is a great fit for this type of fishing. The reel was
perfect for free-lining the eel down into the depths and the rod had
enough beef to lift the fish out of the rocks.

|
| All the tackle used on
Northeast Angling is stored in
Ameripack tackle
systems. The Backpack Tackle system is used to get the tackle to
the fish! All the rods and reels are transported using the Rod
Pods and the Reel Locker. They insure that everything makes it to
the shoot in perfect condition. Their versatile Fly Boxes are also
used for bucktails and rigs. |

| The size of these fish and the
fast drift made the net choice especially
critical. A
Frabill
Powercatch net with it's extendable handle was used and ensured that
none of the fish were lost at boat-side. This is a a great net that stores easily and all
you have to do is slide, lock and
load and it is ready to go! |

| The boat was launched and
berthed at the scenic
Billington
Cove Marina in Wakefield, RI. This 90 slip facility is a first
rate marina with a full powerboat service center and ship store.
