The Ultimate Big-Game Striped Bass Bait
When the massive “cow” stripers make their run up the coast and push into our local estuaries, there is one bait they simply cannot resist: a fresh, oily pogy (menhaden). This premium 2-pack of frozen, 9-inch pogies gives you the perfect profile size to target trophy-class fish. Kept frozen to lock in maximum oils and scent, these baits create an irresistible chum trail the second they hit the water.
What It’s Perfect For
-
Trophy Striped Bass (Stripers): A 9-inch pogy is the absolute gold standard for weeding out the “schoolies” and targeting massive, slot-sized and over-slot stripers.
-
Big Bluefish: When the yellow-eyed devils swarm the coast in late summer, a chunk of pogy is a guaranteed ticket to a screaming reel.
Local Hotspots: How to Fish Them
For Merrimack Valley and North Shore anglers, you are sitting right in the middle of prime striper territory. These pogies are custom-made for the local waters:
-
The Merrimack River (Haverhill to Newburyport): Launching out of Haverhill or heading downriver? These 9-inchers are devastating when fished on the outgoing tide around the river mouth, the flats, and the deep structure near the bridge abutments.
-
Plum Island Sound & Joppa Flats: Rig these up on a circle hook (mandatory for bait fishing stripers in MA/NH) and drift them through the deeper channels on a falling tide.
-
Great Bay & Piscataqua River (NH): Perfect for drifting through the heavy currents of the Piscataqua or checking the rocky ledges off Portsmouth and Rye.
Pro-Tips for the Best Presentation
Go Circle Hook & Bridle: To comply with regional regulations and get the absolute best hookup ratio, rig these on a sturdy circle hook. Run the hook securely through the snout or bridle it just in front of the dorsal fin so the point sits proud.
Chunking: If you are fishing heavy currents in the Merrimack, slice these 9-inchers into thick chunks. Cut them at a diagonal just behind the head to release a heavy, oily scent trail that stripers will follow directly to your hook.
Pick up a pack, head down to the river, and get ready for a heavy bend in your rod!
