Some people think trolling tube and worm for striped bass is boring, and I understand the reasons why.
However for me, trolling the tube is exciting. Tube and worming is also one of the most effective ways to catch big bass on Cape Cod during the heat of August.
Oftentimes when trolling tubes, the best hits come from out of nowhere, and occur when you least expect it.

That is exactly what happened to my dad and I in the video clip below, filmed last week at around 8:00AM on August 3rd.
In this video I am literally on the phone telling capt. Jason Cianciolo from Laura Jay Charters that nothing was biting, when suddenly we double up!
This sorta thing happens all the time when trolling tubes.

The sound of the drag is the best alarm clock.
Absolutely!
Funny, while watching the video, I saw you pick up one and rod saw the other rod going unattended. I no sooner thought “his Dad must be sleeping” when Jake appeared to take the rod and and you said “He’s awake!”
I always liked tube and worming although you have to keep an eye out for lobster pots in Cape Cod Bay!
My dad always wakes up when he hears the drags sizzling! It’s very convenient!
And yes, I have hooked my fair share of lobster pots in CCB as well as off the backside :/
I’ve recently seen guys using Twizzlers for tube/worm rigs. I thought this was a joke, but apparently it works.
Now that is something I will have to experiment with!
