In the first video this week: Know where to find bluegill when fishing from shore? Try fishing docks and trees to find the fish. Are you are wasting time sitting in one spot, and not catching fish? Try moving around to fish near different objects in the water. Today I find fish while fishing next to docks, and fishing near trees in the water. I catch good variety of jumbo bluegill, along with a few other keepers.
In the first video this week: This is the battle of the budget baitcasters! Is bass fishing with a $10 baitcaster going to be fun? Worth It? Lets find out. I am starting out with the HD200 that I bought on the internet for $10.34. It looks like a typical baitcaster complete with magnetic brakes. Then I show how to set up a baitcaster for bass fishing. After using it for a few minutes I noticed a few things right away. It actually casts quite well. I was able to launch the lure out there, as well as pitch it a good distance. The retrieve however, is where we run into major problems.
In the first video this week: Check out this surprise catch while spring bass fishing with Texas Rigs. Plastic worms are today’s lure of choice. A soft plastic stick worm is becoming one of my favorite Texas Rigs. After checking the water temperature, I catch the first bass of the day next to the dock. The fish is large, but skinny. I am wondering if it has enough to eat. The next bass I catch is much healthier and looks right for its age. The following catch, is a surprise to me! I set the hook thinking its a bass, and I catch an Alabama Rig!
In the first video this week: Have you experienced amazing bass fishing that turns into horrible bass fishing. Its a sad day when the fish don’t bite. But that is no reason to get upset! Today is Subscriber Appreciation Day! I was catching huge bass just a few days ago. Today I can’t catch anything over six inches. So instead of letting a bad day get worse, we are going to make it into a SAD DAY! I really appreciate all of the supportive comments I get and I am happy to show it.
In the first video this week: Today I’m doing some spring bass fishing with a Texas rig. I’m fishing pre spawn bass on plastic worms. I start the trip out fishing with a jerkbait and catch one skipjack when the camera wasn’t recording. But I quickly move to a smaller lake and change lures to a Texas Rigged soft plastic worm. I fish the bank up and down. On my way back to the car I make a few casts and I catch two largemouth bass on the Texas Rig. Today the soft plastic worm beats out the jerkbait.
In the first video this week: Today we are doing some spring fishing for stocked trout. I am wondering, are all of the rainbow trout gone? So I make my way to the trout fishing hole with my light setup and a realistic rig to see what I can catch. The water is still cold with temperatures in the teens overnight, so I hope the trout are still biting. I start out catching a few bluegill and sunfish. Then I finally catch a stocked rainbow trout! So a mixture of panfish and one trout were all caught on the realistic rig today.
In the first video this week: Today is a sad day for realistic fishing. But don’t be sad because it stands for something! Get ready for Subscriber Appreciate Day! I am shouting out subscribers today and reading their comments. And to show my appreciation, I am picking one subscriber from the comments and I am going to try to make their day! With all of the scammers out there on Youtube, I am working on ways to spread the love of fishing and help you get more gear in the process. I really appreciate everyone who leaves comments on my videos.
In the first video this week: What are my favorite bass lures for early spring? Today we are fishing in high muddy water with a jerkbait and a soft plastic worm. I catch the first bass of the day on the hard plastic minnow imitator. After switching to the plastic worm, I get a bite while fishing it Texas Rigged without a weight. After losing my rig, I go back to the car to get the baitcaster. I catch the final bass of the day on a wacky rigged soft plastic worm.
In the first video this week: As an angler, I’ve been taking advantage of the early spring weather to do some fishing from the bank. I’ve been exploring a few different spots along the flooded lake and creek, hoping to find some good catches. Unfortunately, my first spot got rained out, so I had to switch things up.
Thankfully I had some luck at Skeletor Park where I was able to reel in a nice skipjack using a jerkbait. After that, I decided to check out a flooded creek and opted to use a simple worm and float rig. My efforts paid off as I was able to catch a couple of decent-sized bluegills, as well as a few smaller fish.
In the first video this week: Do you know when the bluegill usually return to shallow waters? It can be pretty frustrating to fish early in the spring because although the water temperature is rising, there aren’t many fish around. In this episode, I scouted three different areas before finally landing my first bluegill. Once I found them, I caught several more in the same spot. To increase my chances, I’m using a simple fishing rig with just a float and worm. I’m targeting shallow water at usually three feet or less, as it warms up faster than deeper waters. This makes it an attractive spot for fish who are looking for food.
