I just want to tell you right off about love you That let's go get some fish on the line Okay I look like a grandpa See a mudline. I see a lot of things look at that bird just Hanging out looking for bait We out here Looking at creeks You know how we do We gonna do a little exploratory action here up in these creeks the other day I saw a shad spawn going on first thing when I get here birds Birds are out. They're on the bank. They're looking So that's that's a good indicator 67 got to love it. That's good What you don't want is it to go below like 60 degrees We've had some cold fronts, but it hasn't hasn't gotten below that it's afternoon right now So I got nest quick water gin clear and one of them's like normal Texas color That's all down here in the southern half. It was like three different creeks three different clarities. This is chocolate duty water We're moving on Moving on to something better. We're gonna do a little something different for for y'all here today I am gonna show you the pro box I've got both the boxes. I got elite and pro. I've already used some of these because they're freaking good these XO swims I've been using these a bunch catching them pretty much everywhere. This is for the April pro box a little prop bait I really like these in May actually once the water gets up for 60s good stuff It looks like some sort of drop shot bait big bites bait. I think that's called the limit getter We got a Mondo crank. That's a beauty 4.5 Chunktail grubs. These are lucky John. Oh, and I freaking I took my I took already took the spinner bait out That's what's missing already took the spinner bait out Anyway, got a catch-go spinner bait in there and I've got some of these put them on your crankbaits It's good for storage. So you don't snag your carpet or your pants or Your dog or whatever. Well, that is a log. I'm gonna switch angles Let's see a lead box is what it looks like. It's a step up. It's more expensive But you know if you want to get some money off use the code in the description box And this is a megabass custom worm. So this is like a a little crawled style bait Megabass is known for making some good hand-poured stuff and some other good plastics bio effects joint gill 116 got a little swim bait action What big old bass it gonna want to slurp dad after the the bluegill start to spawn up the shallows Plus they get pissed off of those things in the springtime. We've got the sunny bee again I just remind me a sunny bee for that juice drink It was bad Jackal flick shake I've used these in the past You can put them on a flick shake head or you can rig them on a shaky head I've actually used this particular color, which I think is called bluegill They're just loading you up on the exo swims, which I promise you Rob can attest to this They they work cut a lot of fish on those lately. Yo Zuri lipless crank. It's got some prism thing going on I like the rattles that they use so and then we've got a booyah prank, which it looks like a popper But at closer glance It is a crank pop Is this is this like an April Fool's thing? No, that's real. It is real. Well, I I don't know I guess you pop it or crank it. What do you feel like it says prank? So I was kind of figuring it's April April Fool's, but that is the elite box So as comparison without further ado, it is time to get a line wet. Let's begin our journey first thing I'm gonna do. I'm gonna take that little exo swim I'm gonna slap it on a chatterbait gotta have a moving bait always especially when the Shad's fun going on Something I have like There is whoa, is that a crappie? What is that? Oh, it's a large mouth. Okay Yeah, well he slurped it I hit him with a little hit him with a little jab and then paused it Hit him with a jab first fish Chatterbait with that exo swim Not quite the quality that we're no way you fish fish all this water back here. It's Explorer time. What was that? Trying to bless me been going up in the creek no bites had a couple sticks couple tree pounders That's about it back or the way just to check see if they're all the way back Sometimes they're all the way back. This is why everybody gets out the fishes right now It's big fish get up shallow sometimes they go all the way in the backs of the grease Kind of a fairly new lake for us. We haven't really figured it out. So that's what it's gonna be you guys are gonna come along though Not learn some. Oh Buddy look at the bubble See all those bubbles Oh, it's the spring. Oh Oh my god Wow Like prone Lake Erie all of a sudden do I notice that spring look at it. We got a bubble. Yeah, that's crazy Yeah, that looks like one of those fish trap things that's a bass right there. Oh, yeah, okay. Yeah It's worth taking a look at me like yeah Currently examining a red tail Hawk. It's been quite the bird day. We saw a bald eagle earlier. Hope we could see some flying Think about starting a birding channel with Rob. Let us know in the comments If you would tune into that. Anyway, that's a nice bird. I'm gonna get back to fishing You have a fish Another one Absolutely Salirped Chattabate with the exo swim. I Was kind of slow slow dangling it. We're just on like a random bank. There's going where there's a little wind Her bells, but well at this point you're about to go find out. I'm really hungry. I think I hear an ice cream truck So that's pretty much the moral of this story. I've got Rob's wallet and I'm going for ice cream I was actually cash in there. What do you want anything in chocolate? Yeah, I think it's a funeral Yeah So no ice cream at funerals That went a total opposite direction, I know it makes sense. Yeah No, we're here church girls earlier. Yeah, yeah Yep, I'm gonna take a breather. That's like one of the most disappointing things right there You think there's ice cream. There's not ice cream and then there's a funeral. Anyway back to fishing. I'm into there. Don't I dig? You're invited. Why won't they eat it? Why won't they eat anything that's not moving? Maybe they're just looking up. They're looking for Chad About the start. Maybe yeah, maybe it was going on this morning, you know, we just kind of oh Little crank a little chatter Drops a chick-fil-a please Drop it hard. God dang. We have five fighters. Just dropping chick-fil-a sandwiches Chick-fil-a God dang it Okay, coming in hot little hot things today Not really sure I didn't even have my hand on the reel cuz I'm watching an airplane. Yeah, I got smoked. He could hit a boat I don't think that's legal to do that He just flew right over that boat What? If this dude comes over our head that low, I'm throwing this thing into his friggin prop. Oh my Dude, if I'm that boat, I'm pissed His prop is probably 20 feet above the boat. What are you doing there cowboy? Oh get lost in god dang Thumped it good. I know man. Yeah, it was a nice thump Well, not gonna sit here and tell you it was a barn burner I'll play a god day. My hands smell like JJ's magic garlic sauce didn't didn't produce nothing We're gonna take it on in y'all. It was definitely better than the last time we came out here I didn't get to do that Okay, would you come out here and do the same thing and feel I'd start off doing that a hundred percent for sure They ain't on the bottom not on the bottom Go in here and see what ocean spoon girl is doing see if she's feeling any better today Well everything was just very calm until I came in a little baby is doing good Melon, I feel like my hunger keeps coming and going like I wasn't hungry and then I had dinner and now I'm hungry Probably because you missed out on those excellent fish last night So I get here I go into my little temporary editing area back behind me. I load the SD cards on do my normal routine I'm looking at footage and I can't hear anything On the outro I did with Rob bet you never see that on normal TV, huh? So what I was explaining there when I got off the water with Rob was you know today was a Kind of a hard day to figure out a lake that we've have hardly fished have yet to really unlock Where a lot of these big fish are we were not seeing Fish on the bottom we would have never figured out how to catch any fish We were not paying attention to the electronics because we were dead set on Throwing jigs and throwing things on the bottom. Luckily. I had that exo swim on a chatter bait previous time that I went out There that's the only fish I caught was on that as well But also with the shad spawn going on But we were not there in the morning for the actual spawn on the bank or wherever they were spawning So they were out of way and all the fish in the lake seem to be suspended Across the board So we were seeing a lot of shad like four to eight feet down and so that's why the the Craig bait was was working for Rob I was still in that exo swim got a few bites on it. Just swimming it also on that on that chatter bait Spinner bait probably would have worked jerk bait any kind of when you're seeing fish suspended like that That's what you have to do. You have to try to meet them in the middle Which is a more difficult way to fish we wouldn't have electronics We were just throwing Texas rigs jigs things like that on trees bushes just goes right past them down at the bottom We would not got a bite all day So I wanted to explain that to you guys So if you have electronics and you're looking like man, I get a bite and fish are just suspended Some days when you got a little wind you just got to get a moving bait out cover some water And that's you're the best thing you can do. It's just hard when they're suspended It's kind of weird day out of water really now. Here's the other part you missed out on the audio issue what I wanted to do for you guys is combine the two boxes had on the water today and Ship it out to you. Okay. Give you some gear and Rob also threw in one of his Chatter baits as well because he had a bunch of stuff. He was cleaning up on the front of his boat So all you got to do is leave a comment right here. I'll get OSG Package this up for you and send it on out. She's such a sweetheart. So sorry about the audio issue guys I don't know if it was my father the cameras father. What I have been a little discombobulated for a while now really you ever feel Discombobulated let me know in the comments So I don't feel as bad not really mental acuity But just kind of life in general just kind of open up to you guys for a second here So before Willis before the brain tumor me and Stephanie were Talking about starting a family Wanted to move up here like closer to family so we could have some help with raising our kids and all that And then will this happen that was obviously a shocker in life Then obviously our house hunting was put on hold We are wanting to get a home and just get backs settled in so so bad I hope I know you guys probably missed us a little bit We're just having our home with Winston come home. Everything is in its in its place and I could just function a Lot better. I just feel like we haven't got back to normal see it because we've been like Baggabond's on the road traveling around Going to hospitals going going to stay with different people in different cities So I'm happy to report the house hunting has been going well, and I'm pretty sure we've got at least one That's gonna work and I feel like will be an awesome place to grow as a family and Also to create content for you guys So just send a little prayer up that we can get back in a in a house together Although I I love that my parents have given us this opportunity But it's kind of get out.
