@TwistedVortex22 Thanks...I don't know why this particular one gets so many views. It is an OK video but certainly not one of my personal bests! I'm retired now. It is good, but you never get a day off........ha. :)
@clewi1091 It's been a while since I've fished at LOZ, but sure enjoyed launching at PB2 and night fishing those docks. Best wishes in your crappie fishing. Thanks our next "target" and I'll try Pomme de Terre or Stockton in a short time. Bye!
Man, you 're just as crazy as I am. I talk to myself and laugh at my own jokes ( all by myself ). I love that pontoon you 're on. I grew up fishing farm ponds in Ohio, so this video brought back alot of good memories. Some times my dad would join me, but most of the time, I 'm by myself.
@Iamluv2351 Ha! There's something about fishing with a camera that does that! I'm sure most folks (myself included) would wonder about the talking to oneself. I've also often contemplated why most of the "normal" fishing (no video camera anywhere) is all done in total silence; not one word is uttered, but if we're at a football game we're yelling our fool heads off. Go figure.
very nice video, did something similar today, i backlashed the only bait caster i had on me and started fishing my old ultra light spincater zebco 33 with an inline spinner, and caught 2-3 2 1/2 to 3lbers! then i had one break me of and i through my pole and went to pick it up by the tip end and it broke! it would have been fixable if i hadn't have did the same thing again lol frustrations frustrations
@Bassmaster26107 I had to smile about your story, but you were still catching bass which is great! Sounds like it's time to drag out the checkbook or credit card and head off to the sporting goods department! Best wishes and thanks for watching.
@chicobanom Thanks for commenting! If I recall, this was about 2 years ago around this same time of the year. There's nothing happening in the same place this year because of the crazy weather pattern we've had. Hopefully it will pick up later this fall.
@MrAfilao Thanks for commenting! You can get those boats on line at bass pro dot com. They are made by Water Skeeter. I don't know if it is a division of the Skeeter bass boats. They are very versatile.
@FishinTheVille Why thank you for the kind comment! I don't exactly know why this video seems to be more popular than some of my other (to me better) fishing trips, but thanks!.
@BryanGUYCLARKFISHfry Thanks, Bryan. I went down to the same spot about a week ago and caught basically nothing but dinks (what a difference the weather makes) but counted 30 deer on the way out.
Can u tell me how I can find weeds under water that would be a good place to cast a spinner bait I fish from shore and also what conditions are good for spinnerbAits thankssssssss
@Creekangler19 Sure. If you throw a bait and it comes back covered in weeds or moss, you've found the weeds. Throw your spinnerbait out and reel it fast enough so it rides just over the weeds but doesn't get caught in them. Also you need a new keyboarddddddddddddddddddddd :)
I bought it from my neighbor who was moving to Washington state. He paid somewhere around $1200 for it at Bass Pro shops and then added the motor, battery and anchor. It's pretty cool but a fishing kayak would be easier to handle.
awesome video! those were some nice big fat bass! looks like a ton of fun! seems like each time i go bass fishing, i seem to always catch the little ones, but you seemed to catch all the good ones while trying to get crappie! ha! guess you can't complain though :)
Elijah, thanks for watching and commenting. The issue that day was a typical "river" situation where the crappie moved around somewhere and I couldn't find them. Bass are more predictable as they tend to hang out in the same places, or so it seems. Oh, I don't always catch the big ones, that's the magic of editing!
Thanks, appreciate your watching and commenting! I don't know why this video gets so many hits; it must be the herd of deer! I had a digital camera (not a camcorder) so that's why the deer were blurry when I zoomed in on them.
It was just a Wal-Mart spinnerbait, probably 3/8 oz, that I modified by changing out the blades and skirt. Unfortunately, I lost it a few months ago, it was really good!
Thanks for commenting, Rider7! I think everybody that throws those beatle spins eventually finds that's exactly what the bass want at times. Some of the most fantastic crappie fishing I ever got on was with a beetle spin, too. Great little bait.
Just today i went crappie fishing, got 20-30 little ones on a small white grub. coincidentally, I picked up some 1-2lb bass on that grub. I also used a green/gold spoon to pick up a 2lb rainbow, a small cutthroat, and 2 bass! Hurray for variety and success!
You are making me jealous! Congratulations on all that great fishing action. If conditions are right, you can slay crappie with a variety of grub colors. Some of the best crappie luck I've ever had has been on small curly tail yellow grubs. At other times, those squirts work really well in various colors. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Yes, it comes with a pump that you use to blow up the two big bladders. I've inflated it once in a year, so it holds air just fine. Thanks for watching!
4.5 isnt skinny lol thats a good fish the fish I catch in my ponds are small with the occasional 4 lbers witch I caught yesterday (yay for the senko). the biggest is a 6.4 off a Zara spook
Thanks for watching, Chips! A conservation agent once told me that when a fish gets pretty old it will start loosing body mass but still have a big head. This fish probably would have been close to 6 if it were younger. Your 6.4 on that Spook is a great bass. Lots of times there's a few really big bass in small ponds.
ive never heard of crappie fishing with jigs and spinner baits, if you have a fly rod ive had great success, pull in a good 20 crappie a session with a small fly, also any top water rapala's just kinda of jerkin em around the serface produces some good crappies too works for bass but mostly crappies. bass fishin kicks ass haha nice vid bro
Thanks for commenting. I'd start with the yellow, then try the red, then try the yellow and green. Don't forget to add white and black to your arsenal of spinnerbaits!
hey dude u gotta make a vid on making the homemade spinner (hope i took it right) and how to pick wich color for the water and hpow to fish them love ur vids.
Thanks for the nice comments. I never thought of doing that so it is an interesting idea. Might be some value in seeing what I do which is basically straightening out the wire loop and replacing the blades and skirts. If the bass where I go "get on" spinnerbaits this year I might do just that.
Man, Don! You sure get some hits on your videos. I guarantee you know what you're doing! Nice fishing vessel! What kind of cameras were you using? You just gotta love the deer sightings! Makes my mouth water, too! I always love watching your videos!
Matt, I have no clue as to why this particular video seems to be somewhat popular. It has no special effects and no transitions at all, as I recall, so maybe less is more. I used my same Canon digital Elph camera. There were quite a few deer that day but I saw 26 on the way out(filmed them all but didn't put all the footage in the video because it was the same thing over and over) in that recent video about the Bass Guide pontoon boat.
I really love to deer hunt, too! I'm into hunting deer for the total experience. Sure, I'd have a nice shoulder mount done on a nice buck, but I'm not really a rack hunter. I'm quite content to take a nice, meaty doe.
I'll usually get an any deer and a bonus tag. For the past serveral years I've gun hunted and muzzle loader as well. I'm not real happy with the fact that I take a nice deer in for processing and don't really know who's deer I'm getting back in the box a few weeks later. I've often butchered my own deer, especially if I get one on opening day and have the time. I've put "trophy racks" out of my imagination because none have ever come anywhere near where I hunt!
I hear ya on the processing, Don. I do my own deer processing. The processing is just part of the whole experience. To me, late October into early November puts me in a pretty good state of mind. I love the smells of the woods, the days growing shorter, sunsets from the deer stand, & the list goes on.....
If I was fishing a pond around 10 feet deep I'd throw: white, black or yellow, all with willow leaf blades (single or double). Try both the larger (1/2 oz) as well as the smaller ( 3/8 oz) spinner baits, and perhaps even the little 1/4 oz types that are like crappie spins.. The fish will tell you what they want.
I found some store-bought ones that work and others that don't. So I dismantle them and put different blades on selected bodies. In the case of the spinner bait in this video, I took off the original double silver Colorado blades and put a hammered white willow leaf blade and a gold willow leaf and then replaced the skirt. This spinner bait works really well now. If you watch my new Fishing for Fish video, that spinner bait is also a home made creation. Its basically tinkering around.
Well, first, thanks for commenting. Now, if you can't use magic or win some more $ playing poker, your $20 budget seems to be the limiting factor. Perhaps buy some Gamakatsu worm hooks, some bullet weights and one or two packs of Berkley Power worms. Make sure you know how to tie the Palomar knot (google it for instructions) and have good line and go start slinging those worms! Good luck!
Falls714, if you are fishing with live bait (minnows) then yes, you use a smaller wire hook. I've caught crappie on rare occasions on big worm hooks and big bass jigs and also big spinner baits and crank baits but they generally like little squirts and jigs and road runners and stuff like that.
Thanks for watching and commenting Fallenrocks! I'd recommend a 3/8 oz double willow leaf in white or black. Spinnerbaits work best (for me) in June and July but folks throw them year round so I've heard.
Hayden, thanks for watching....I think I normally throw a 3/8 oz to 1/2 oz spinnerbait in that lake. Hopefully they'll be on spinnerbaits again this year as well!
Absolutely! Its a little hard to see, but in the opening of the vid, at around 43 seconds, you can see the top of the trolling motor. I can mount 2 batteries on the back deck of the boat as well. I've only used the paddles once on a pond. You can check out this kind of pontoon at Bass Pro Shops on line.
Thanks for watching and great question! No, actually that pontoon boat is extremely stable and virtually impossible to fall out of. The floor is a metal platform, plus the model I have you can stand up and there's a bar to lean against, similar to what they attach to a float in a parade. All in all, it is a very safe setup, plus fun.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the goofy thing. Well, it was at Lake Springfield, on the S. side of Springfield, MO. It is a very shallow power plant lake; not very big, either.
There's a warm-water outlet on the W side of the lake (limited bank fishing) but it doesn't keep the whole lake warm. Its plenty cold right where I fish as the river runs through there.
Jacksattack, I can't wait for this year because so far we haven't had any flood conditions so perhaps it will be a great year. Thanks for commenting and good luck on the water!
45, yes, some real dandies. My B-I-L told me about them but I sort of stumbled on them by accident about 5 yrs ago. They were noticeably "absent" last year because of the floods.
By the way, do you know any of those fishermen in the Float Bassers International? Watch at the channel of mead6969 as they do many tournaments in Japan.
Meekun, thank you for the nice comments! I have seen many excellent videos of bass fishing in Japan. Also, I use many lures that might be from Japan such as Gary Yamamoto, Senko, Yo Zuri.
Hey, no kidding, there's a very large population of deer in that conservation area but unfortunately it is unhuntable.....I heard they do the bow thing every now and then. There's nature trails and you can see deer everywhere, sitting and standing like lawn ornaments.
Halibut, thanks for the kind comments! That lake I was fishing is right in a city park with a huge herd of deer.....people go down there just to see the deer come out near dark.
Well, I had been throwing a small crank bait for crappie on a spinning reel with no success. I usually bring 3 to 4 rods/reels with a jig, spinnerbait, crankbait and plastic worm. It isn't unusual to catch large crappie on a baitcaster/spinnerbait at times as well, despite the conception that crappie only chase small stuff.
Those types of boats are called pontoons and they come in a lot of different syles and with lots of options. The one I have is from Bass Pro Shops. It is a Water Skeeter River Guide. I put a Hummingbird depth finder on it, but all the other things (less trolling motor, anchor, battery of course) are pretty standard on this one. I really like the casting support bar; you can stand up and it is very safe.
GREAT JOB ! bEEN THERE WITH THE HOLE IN THE CROTCH ! My nephews Suburban was higher than my pants wanted to stretch lol. I see you have the same wind problem , We need windless mikes LMAO MMMM deer saugage Slim jim deermeat ! *****
BF: Ha, nice comments! Actually, it was a "pole in my crotch" not a "hole"! I had a net in one hand and a camera in the other so there was no place to put the rod/reel so I stuck it between my legs and hoped for the best! Of course I finally had to put the camera down and net the darned thing. No fishing for a while (hurricane effects).
Rail End, hey, thanks; right-on with blue and green! Excellent colors. In this particular lake they really like double gold willow-leaf and yellow skirt, too.
Where the heck do you find all of those big fish? Doodles, you make me embarassed to put up videos!!! Seriously though, keep puttin' them up becuase your'e an inspiration to us all. Lord's blessings to you.
707, I keep getting comments on this vid and so I was scrolling down and I can't remember if I replied to yours. If I didn't, many apologies! What's happening in your neck of the woods?
Crazy...ha! Thanks for nice comment. I'm going to have to figure out how filter out "wind" background noise. Bowfins have not been an issue since I mounted my BDAAS (Bowfin Detection and Avoidance System) HA!
This video deserved 100,000 views. Wish I could fish like that. Oh and one more question. Are you still working or are you retired yet?

Hayden, thanks for watching....I think I normally throw a 3/8 oz to 1/2 oz spinnerbait in that lake. Hopefully they'll be on spinnerbaits again this year as well!

Nice bass there on spinnerbaits. Cute little boat to.

Thanks, Steve. These pontoon style boats are quite popular for smaller lakes, rivers and streams. Do you fish in your "winter" that is coming up?
Winkiedoodles 2 years ago
Think you could mount a Trolling motor on one of those boats? I want one but I dont want to paddle lol
ofnaman 2 years ago
Absolutely! Its a little hard to see, but in the opening of the vid, at around 43 seconds, you can see the top of the trolling motor. I can mount 2 batteries on the back deck of the boat as well. I've only used the paddles once on a pond. You can check out this kind of pontoon at Bass Pro Shops on line.

nice fish but do you ever slip and fall off those little planks in that boat
layschips11 2 years ago
Thanks for watching and great question! No, actually that pontoon boat is extremely stable and virtually impossible to fall out of. The floor is a metal platform, plus the model I have you can stand up and there's a bar to lean against, similar to what they attach to a float in a parade. All in all, it is a very safe setup, plus fun.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the goofy thing. Well, it was at Lake Springfield, on the S. side of Springfield, MO. It is a very shallow power plant lake; not very big, either.
Winkiedoodles 2 years ago
does that mean the water stays warm?
HerosEnd 2 years ago
There's a warm-water outlet on the W side of the lake (limited bank fishing) but it doesn't keep the whole lake warm. Its plenty cold right where I fish as the river runs through there.

Thanks, Ray, I'd recommend them to anybody who has "small" waters to fish. They are the cat's meow.

Jacksattack, I can't wait for this year because so far we haven't had any flood conditions so perhaps it will be a great year. Thanks for commenting and good luck on the water!

I didnt know there were crappie in that lake cool

45, yes, some real dandies. My B-I-L told me about them but I sort of stumbled on them by accident about 5 yrs ago. They were noticeably "absent" last year because of the floods.
Winkiedoodles 3 years ago
yesyes, I use the gary4ingrubs willingly.
I want to go soon in the pre-sporning season to catch it for big 1 in Lake Biwa-ko.
I should be able to catch snow gill, too.（＾v＾/
I wish you do splendid fishing!!

Excellent! Be sure to let me know how you do this spring. Ha, ha, ha, glad you liked the joke about the Snow Gills.

By the way, do you know any of those fishermen in the Float Bassers International? Watch at the channel of mead6969 as they do many tournaments in Japan.
Winkiedoodles 2 years ago
wow! good size!
I do bass fishing in Japan, too.
It's the best that fishing is made happy at a good location!
meekun339 3 years ago
Meekun, thank you for the nice comments! I have seen many excellent videos of bass fishing in Japan. Also, I use many lures that might be from Japan such as Gary Yamamoto, Senko, Yo Zuri.

I need to bring my winchester 270 up there and do some deer fishing of my own! haha.
dirtbikerider55 3 years ago
Hey, no kidding, there's a very large population of deer in that conservation area but unfortunately it is unhuntable.....I heard they do the bow thing every now and then. There's nature trails and you can see deer everywhere, sitting and standing like lawn ornaments.
Winkiedoodles 3 years ago
ha you crack me up! with the deer live well thing :). nice fishing.
halibutfisher123 3 years ago
Halibut, thanks for the kind comments! That lake I was fishing is right in a city park with a huge herd of deer.....people go down there just to see the deer come out near dark.
Winkiedoodles 3 years ago
Sooo... you were crappie fishing... with a baitcaster?
104bravo 3 years ago
Well, I had been throwing a small crank bait for crappie on a spinning reel with no success. I usually bring 3 to 4 rods/reels with a jig, spinnerbait, crankbait and plastic worm. It isn't unusual to catch large crappie on a baitcaster/spinnerbait at times as well, despite the conception that crappie only chase small stuff.
Winkiedoodles 3 years ago
what were you fishing from? i know it was not a boat what was it? and where could i get one?
FootBallerMarco 3 years ago
Those types of boats are called pontoons and they come in a lot of different syles and with lots of options. The one I have is from Bass Pro Shops. It is a Water Skeeter River Guide. I put a Hummingbird depth finder on it, but all the other things (less trolling motor, anchor, battery of course) are pretty standard on this one. I really like the casting support bar; you can stand up and it is very safe.
Winkiedoodles 3 years ago
nice damn video man.

BF: Ha, nice comments! Actually, it was a "pole in my crotch" not a "hole"! I had a net in one hand and a camera in the other so there was no place to put the rod/reel so I stuck it between my legs and hoped for the best! Of course I finally had to put the camera down and net the darned thing. No fishing for a while (hurricane effects).

Rail End, hey, thanks; right-on with blue and green! Excellent colors. In this particular lake they really like double gold willow-leaf and yellow skirt, too.
Winkiedoodles 3 years ago
only bad thing is. when i catch a northern. nothing hits it again. =[ so then i have to air it our 4 a day
railendsproductions 3 years ago
Why would you have to air out a spinnerbait for a day...do pike leave some sort of slime or something on the lure?
Winkiedoodles 3 years ago
yeap they do. i had to learn the hard way they dont hit it after 1 hits it. at least around these parts.
railendsproductions 3 years ago

Crazy...ha! Thanks for nice comment. I'm going to have to figure out how filter out "wind" background noise. Bowfins have not been an issue since I mounted my BDAAS (Bowfin Detection and Avoidance System) HA!
