 Welcome back to the great outdoors y'all Getting ready to go on a bass fish trip again taking y'all along with me Chicken check real quick right now. Why is our polish in here? Why is our polish the only one? Not out with its buddies Could it be finally laying an egg? Finally it's a weird bird So flighty so flighty see what's going on Just a couple of blues About to have to put the chickens up We had a semi successful meat mission just yesterday. I caught a whopper Caught a whopper crappie. I thought I had when I first saw it in the water. I was like, okay I have I have got maybe my PB crappie, but no it was not Still a giant though check that baby out. We're going to lay that up I'm gonna eat that for dinner tomorrow night today We are heading out to a lake. I haven't fished in a couple of years Got a little hot tip from a buddy So grabbing that buddy we're heading out to the lake and I'm guessing it's gonna be sort of a flipping by a kind of up Close personal hard hook sins getting about that cover top stuff I don't know. I don't know if it's gonna be like that Still got some water droplets from the lens the other day getting splashed Fish and freaks. We out here. We're the only ones at the ramp today And there's my buddy Trey on the way to catch bigs. Yay It's my rhyme for the day All right It is a calm day Probably water temps. I'm gonna guess in the low 60s in March going into April. So this is a Very good time to start dabbing around a little bit start dabbing on the banks with you know your creature baits your jigs You know, throw your weightless baits out there a little bit. Maybe they want to slam a spinner bait I haven't been on a great spinner bait bite this year. I don't know but it's setting up to be a pretty fun day At least not being blown around by 20 mile an hour winds like we have for the last three weeks And there's a few creeks out here. This lake isn't huge But the potential for a big bass is here. We are in Texas and As of right now, there's only a couple boats on the lake. So There's a lot to go around folks. Let's hop in the silver bullet fire it up and let's get the vision Come on back got a sandy ram Little bit more There's blows Holy cow water looks good Just hoping to see some stable water color levels like a little down But it's just got that little greenish tint to it. Which is awesome. I'd love to see that I like that. How excited are you about these conditions? Oh these little bushes in the water You listen like the nicest fishing day I've had all year to just light wind warm and water is 63 We're we're we're looking at a nice setup here folks looking at a nice setup trays How do you know a little tough beginning of the year you had to start off with a real big bang Almost want a derb and then it's it's done that weird March tricky thing like it likes to do Is that a rooster tail over there? Is that a roof? Well typically later in the day the shallower will be better Let's just idle for a second. Let's get our bearings See what we got So excited Hog jammer today y'all There's another crappie just came up to the surface spawned out spawned out copies Here you go. Here you go. He's all colored up Even main lake let main lake stuff looks good. Yeah Fish on the outskirts here. Maybe good for dragging a Couple bass right there scooping on the edge. There's a little red crankbait Little buck my bass on the point Go for a decent. Oh, yeah. Oh, I just got pumped to the good one That's a nice one, but how's it hooked any of that? Do your thing dance with it dance with it. Oh God. Oh, yeah Kind of large Dude you denied the net don't blame it on me. That was a tasty one Six and a half at least yeah for color change as weird as that is right after I got a bite cuz He was hooked on the outside. Yeah, I got I got hit too soon as you got that bite, but it didn't feel that big I'm just a big quick ball Nice that's nice and a couple of little bucks and then why by him big and cuz I'm nowhere How's it clue we needed it is I think try this next one as well Now that one that one there has it Has a double stuff That's double stuffed Oreo right there. I actually thought I was hung I went to jerk the bait out Secondary points made my point. Oh, that's a fish. That feels like a big and two. Yeah On the recon thought it was home It's large dude. It's a giant. Oh my god. It's a giant give me the net give me the net give me the net Give me the net. Oh my god It's like it's like a 10 Like an eight That is a recon fish. Oh my god That one's scary bearly hook triple grip. Thank you Lord Thank you I'm not gonna lie guys. I thought it was home there for a second. That's all those head shakes. I was like That's a pig. That's an eight pounder Whoo, hang on sick. I'm gonna will this one to make a couple more cask is This could get Western. Oh My gosh, it was up there shallow though. I mean like three cranks. I hit bottom Three cranks. I hit bottom and then Mountain do a colored crank got real Damn oh my gosh You know, I've caught a couple of squeakers today a couple of bucks up shallow Tray lost At least a six and a half Thought it was a little bit smaller got up close to the boat had one treble in the side and That fish pulled off So I was freaking out when I saw that the fish I hooked was a bass I was like, maybe it's a catfish and then when I saw the whole thing how long it was that white flash in the water And that was a large mouth. I was like This is a big fish, I think it's eight pounds maybe a little over But I just switched up. I was throwing a red crankbait kind of up shallow and seeing some deeper rocks So I switched to the recon Which runs eight to twelve so I could keep it more in that consistent, you know, five to eight foot zone And it just got it got throttled Throw it on that glass rod to in the black series. So it's very soft What you don't feel the bites as much with a with a glass rod But when you get hooked up, it's just great for crankbaits because it keeps the fish pinned a lot better It's easy to throw throw crankbaits as well on that glass the way it loads so Trading me up and we've got a girthy girl in here I'll be honest with you There was a little boat shrinkage because when I when I saw it This could be could be a double D It's not a double D, but it was a very healthy fish and from what we've seen so far it looks like we've got pre-spawns pre-spawn action this tail of this fish is Is very clean. It's very fat. It has not it has not yet moved up and done its thing It's just awesome to see look at that beautiful beautiful fish. Let's get a weight on it Wow, it's gonna lock in right at eight looks like keeps bouncing from 812 to 795 796 actually it's what it locked in at 796 I'm gonna call an eight-pounder Big mama, I'm gonna let her go right where we caught her There she goes Awesome just cranking a point going into a Spawning area we started up really shallow Flipping went all the way in the back of the creek because the last place I fished It was like it was on in the backs every lakes different though so we came out kind of midway in a creek and Trey caught that nice one on a point so another point kind of let out and Started throwing crankbaits on it, and that's the only fish we've caught on it, but it's a huge fish so I Bet if we go up into this pocket and crank a little shallower. We'll probably get some Some males we get those like you know one to two pounders that are already up there on the bank But we're gonna make some more cast out here on the deep stuff and see if we can get another Mando Smash that like button y'all Crack the liquid depth here Why did those go down so smooth? Maybe it's because I think I'm drinking a beer It's like my mind is tricked Guggen gloves now available It's getting sunny out there boat shorts now available and Guggen gloves protect your skin for the wind fast-six buck fast action Gyrating the tip I've got these things What happened I got smaller I know well when we were up there sitting in like five I was looking on the live scope and you could see him like under the boat Scattering scattering though. This might be the deal because we caught a couple of micros on that other point And then you whacked that one so might just have to we threw them Ones and twos to six to eights. I got so many rods out on the deck starting the day So I'm gonna put some things away kind of get focused in on Cranking and probably flipping. It's probably gonna be some boomer baits today guys, which I love it I'm a boomer bait fisherman This is my wheelhouse. I love just throwing crankbaits jigs spanner baits all that old-time stuff that still catches bigs Dude you're smacking their butts off little things little vang Fun-sized oh, they're schoolin. They are a fast school. They are very attracted to the red. It seems right now Yeah, they're all like barely Just they feel triggered to eat it Pee-pee on me peepies All right, well Trey is saining the lake of every one pounder so far We ordered those for around some action deep butt. Oh, ate it off the snag That looks like a better one. He's checking it out Got tumbled. Why this? My old friend All righty friends midday report. We got one Mando and I think Trey has caught a dozen Scooblets, I don't know what it is they were much in that that red crankbait But the bigger ones are just Seem to be hanging on the secondary Points leading into the spot. So we're gonna go check out another part of the lake. Maybe it's completely different I don't know. It could be a flipping bite could be a lot of You know shallow brushy stuff. There wasn't a lot of good brush underwater here, but We'll go see we'll go explore see if there's anything else It looks sexual At a hold down All right, we just rolled to the other side of the lake It is shallow a lot of buck brush in the water different program than what we were just fishing Which was the opposite in close to the dam area more chunky rocks and stuff I think we fish in here if we don't get a bite and like, you know 100 yards or so we should go fish the other side docks that look pretty good There was a cut that I passed it looked like a good little kind of a safe Spawning area a bunch of docks in it. So there's this huge line of buck brush out here It's like where do you start it's like fishing grass lines And usually it's the outer edges and the the outliers. So like there's that whole wall and then boom you go over here There's a couple of stick ups Isolated isolated clumps. It's usually where the bite is but we'll see water is 661 and a half right here. So it's definitely It's definitely spawned temperatures. We're quite doing it on that end. Maybe they're more pushed up over here And I can't forget about the swim jig y'all Look at this beautiful little baths off your box. It's perfect Swim big box here Might call might be yeah, I might go three eighths three eighths with a full Chobh crawl in the back. I haven't found a bait that has more action on My swim jig trailers than the junior krakenkraw Even with a quarter ounce that thing is twerking on the back three eighths, that's my go-to weight and It's good for this type of shallow cover Me and John fished a lake recently that's very similar to this type of cover And instead of flipping flipping it going really slow Which is effective. It's just time-consuming Sometimes I like to throw the swim jig on it works really good on that lake the other day Just to kind of figure out who's home What kind of animals you're dealing with Also, I'm yet to get a Guggen squad jig that has Has a poxy over the eyelet to tie it Jigs are just their high quality. I think they're best jigs on the market Very good paint Good design That's not a little Biteable biscuit. I don't know what is oh God just have one right there Bull on it. See that See that boil back Try to flip a log back in there. It could be a territorial male Ready to strike that's 63 to be water over here. So This is like a big featureless Bay Yes, yes Yeah, fun bite Jig a big one, but fun that crack and crawl Yeah, I was just saying this is just kind of a big featureless Bay and There's not much to get on so much of a choice. Oh Gosh got him There you go. God those fish are aggressive, dude That was fun. That was cool. It's like a top water It's probably the same one That joke just never gets old for me making the buck bass pee on your buddy Man, I didn't do that. I'm gonna do that until I'm physically on it Come on If y'all have never fished a swim jig before it's really one of the easiest lures to fish and it just comes through The cover so well trees on oh, that looks better. There we go, baby There we go, baby. Oh Yeah That was the size of a pounder because these exist. Yes, they do That is awesome. It's like a big male That was fun That's it. That's it. That's interesting two different looks swim jig and the in the saucy going through that I Honestly think the saucy will get bigger bites. It's just a bigger profile. It's not a big thump This is kind of finessey But Both really good things to throw in this in this buck brush. It's just a little calm for a spinner bait Awesome hit just bringing it up the log Chunky but oh bobbing it up. Let's stick and Crushing it. That's almost like a top water hit. That is awesome Oh my gosh My last bite too is I was kind of like sliding along something. Yeah Making contact with stick Oh my gosh, it came off. God what a hit dude You knew it too that isolated you get the business on braid everything. I got it. Oh, that was a bite. Are they home on that one? Flip it. There it is The good one too Patient and made the right cast that's like Denny Brass told me one time. He said I always have an exit plan That's exactly right. I could have made that cast from way far away and not I would have screwed it up So Trey waited until we got a little closer and you can make a precise cast and have an exit out of there It's like the last bite I got I flipped on the back side of the brush fish hit it And went down with it as soon as I set the hook. I was stuck Should have waited until I got a better position But that is an isolated clump right there away from the other stuff And usually your better fish come on that just like that one squirter on here. This thing is just a Action packed something about the smaller claws a little bit thinner plastic just gets it Ultra moving on the slow retrieve Yeah, you have me tied around a tree bigger one Double-tap them Double-tap me. All right. It's fun. I don't care if they're Founders, but it's a good afternoon dangle y'all. We made a move went to some deeper Kind of clear water this afternoon and at the very late end of the day Didn't pan out, you know water was like five degrees cooler than the other side of the lake, but awesome midday flipping bite Had a pig had a couple pigs on So it's really really really good trip, and I'm glad we came out here But now it's time to go to the HQ. So I'll show you around Well, y'all we are at the HQ, but I There's somebody change the security code on the On the doors here, and I don't want to go in here and have the police called So I will have to come back But you guys stay tuned because next video we are going out some clear water We're gonna be doing a completely different look from what we did today Probably getting into some crappie fishing as well But I'm hoping for some big bass doing some clear water tactics subscribe to the channel So you don't miss a single adventure, and I will see you guys
