How to Catch Skipjack at the Dam – Fishing For FUN and BAIT!!

Curious about how to catch skipjack at the dam? Skipjack fishing is fun and they make good bait for catfish and other big fish. Today I start out fishing at the dam with a desperation rig consisting of a Gulp Alive Minnow and a small jig head. I catch one skipjack, and decide to upsize my lure to try for something bigger. I try a crankbait and catch another skipjack herring, but not in the typical way. After switching back to the gulp minnow rig, I catch a couple more skipjack. I even try to use one as bait! Beginner Fishing Tip: Try small jigs when fishing for skipjack. #real #fishing

Best Time for TOPWATER is NOW! Topwater Bass Fishing is on FIRE 🔥

Now it the best time for topwater! The topwater bass fishing is on fire. I fished two different lakes in two days and I caught bass at both lakes on topwater! I am fishing with a Rebel topwater popper and the bass are biting. Yesterday I caught two bass in the evening. And today, I caught two more in the morning! The first bass was caught next to the dock at the boat ramp. It weighed about 1.5 lbs. The second bass was bigger and almost three pounds. Beginner fishing tip: If you’re wondering when it’s the best time to fish topwater, the time is now and the strikes are exciting! #topwater #bassfishing

BASS or BLUEGILL? Which Fish is Easier to Catch? TODAY it’s BASS!!!

Which fish is easier to catch bass or bluegill? Today it’s bass! I start out the session fishing with a desperation rig because the fishing has been so bad lately. After fishing for bluegill for a while with no catches, I change lures to a topwater popper. Then I catch a beautiful largemouth bass that weigs about two pounds! As the sun goes down I catch another bass on the Rebel Pop-R! I couldn’t catch any bluegill today, but I did catch two largemouth bass. Beginner fishing tip: Sometimes upsizing your lure can result in more catches. Today bass are easier to catch than bluegill. #bassfishing #realistic

Bass Bro “PROS” Won’t Show The Struggle! My Fishing Spots Are Toast

We all know the bass bro pros won’t show you the struggle, but Realistic Fishing will! My fishing spots are toast and I am not afraid to show it. Today I had to grind it out just to catch two fish. I caught a small largemouth bass on a wacky rigged stick worm. I also tried fishing with a weightless fluke, but couldn’t get a bite. Then I switched to the desperation rig on an untralight to try and catch anything at all. I end up with one more fish, a big bluegill. I am glad I wasn’t skunked, but my fishing spots are toast. #realistic #fishing

When the Fish WON’T BITE Make Your Own Fishing Lures Instead!

When the fish won’t bite, you can make your own fishing lures instead! I went fishing this morning but it was so HOT out. I couldn’t even catch a fish on a Texas Rig. It ended up being 97 degrees! So instead of wasting time and boiling outside, I head to the studio to make some lures. I am nearly done painting the shad pattern crankbait. I am finally putting the clearcoat on after two previous painting sessions. I am painting these lures without an airbrush. After I finish the crankbait, I can get back to painting the topwater popper. Its HOT, the fish won’t bite, why not make some home made lures to try this fall. #fishing #realistic
