A Day in the Life of Realistic Fishing! YouTube Fishing Channel Stuff

In the first episode this week, what is a day in the life of realistic fishing like? This is some of the YouTube fishing channel stuff that usually goes on behind the scenes. I head out to the post office to mail fishing lures to some recent winners and I also pick up mail that was sent in to the show from my awesome subscribers. After that I go on to a fishing spot try my luck fishing for bass and bluegill. Since the weather is cold, the bite is still pretty tough. I do get one bite from a bass, and catch three or four bluegill. After that I go back over to the studio for the realistic fans who watch until the end. Continue reading

Fishing for Spring Bass and Bluegill – Flicker Shad & Gulp ($10 Combo)

We’ll start with the best first this week. In the final episode this week we’re once again fishing for spring bass and some bluegill using a Flicker Shad and Gulp. Using the $10 Spinning combo from Walmart and the Flicker Shad, I’m able to catch another awesome spring bass. The weather is pretty crazy with blowing wind and rain.
