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.

To keep it realistic, I’m staying local and not headed to Florida or somewhere warm just to catch fish for the show. This is Realistic Fishing, this is what it’s really like right now, kinda sucks. So after taking a break for a few hours from the wind and rain, I come back to fish in the evening. Using the Gulp Minnow I’m able to catch some nice bluegill including an 8 inch fish. Spring fishing for bass and even bluegill can be tough when the weather is not cooperating with you.

Catching Big Bass in Spring! You Can Catch Big Bass on Small Lures!

Are you looking forward to catching big bass in spring? Guess what people, you can catch big bass on small lures. In the latest episode this week, I went fishing at the same spot two mornings in a row. The first day I was out, I was catching smaller bass on the Jerkbait after striking out with the Ned rig. I was determined to catch bigger bass, so I went back the next day to see if I could get a bite and then it happened! Fishing near the dock I hooked into the biggest bass so far this season. I estimate this bass weighed nearly 3 lbs. It was caught on the same small lure the previous bass were caught on. Continue reading

In the first episode this week we’re comparing Crappie Shad vs Gulp Minnow. Which fishing lure will catch more fish today? One of these lures catches bass, bluegill, and even a shiner! With the other lure, I didn’t catch a thing. The winner of this one on one comparison is clear, it was Gulp Minnow for the win. While these two crappie lures look very similar and are practically the same size, only one of them produces fish today. I’ve caught fish in the past on the crappie shad style lure, but today it didn’t have a chance.

Is This Your Little Fishing Spot? – Realistic Fishing Pet Peeve!!!

In the first episode this week we see some fishing etiquette at its finest. “Is this your little spot?” she asked. This is another fun fishing pet peeve of mine. When someone walks up and casts right next to you, and then asks if you are fishing there. Really? These people can clearly see me fishing off the end of the dock, and as they pull up right next to me, I catch a skipjack on a jerkbait. Then as soon as they get out of the car, I hear her bait splash right next to me and I look over at her as she asks “Hey, this is your little spot?”. So nice. I reply that I was fishing there, but she can have it now. Another person with her asked me if I wasn’t catching any, which I answered with – two.
