 Have you seen them? They're popping. That excites me. There's some of them. The elusive November topwater, it might be here. Welcome to today's video brought to you by Mystery Taco Box. It is some father's sun time out here. My dad was gonna go out in this kayak. He's like, I think I'm gonna go kayak fishing tomorrow. I said, dad, I think it's supposed to be 25 mile an hour winds. Hang on one second, I gotta unhook the boat. So I was like, dad, he really wanna go fishing that bad. I'll just take you. Come on, hop in the boat. Always revel in the experience to get to fish with my dear old dad. Have a day. Might have a fishing freak over here. It's always good too. Fishing freaks are gonna be out today. This is definitely, when you get into fall mode, the dedicated come out here. It's cold. What's that? Are you Lake Fort Guy? I'm Lake Fort Guy. You do? Come on over here for a second. All right, what's your name? Grayson. What's the fishing report so far this morning? Mainly just top water. I noticed there was some poppin' around the shore over there. I was using a crank early on. So your crank bait? Might have to let us fish over here on this other side if you don't mind. All right, I hope you catch a man. No matter what we catch today, it's always a good way to start off right there. I knew when I saw that young man, Grayson, over there on the shoreline, I saw myself and him, because I was like, what young man is gonna be out here in, you know, it's 50 degrees outside. It's November, it's seven o'clock in the morning. Most kids are playing Xbox. He's out here casting away. I hooked him up with some Guggenbates. Hopefully he slays some fish out here. I did see a shad get caught. I'm seeing shad dad. I might have to let you just get on that trolling motor and get after it for a second while I tell him about what is in today's mystery tackle box November dish. We might cut some fish up shallow. So what's going on is these shad are shallow today. This is good, because that gives us opportunities to go flippin' with your shad up shallow. We can do flippin'. And here's what we got inside of the pro box. Now, if you guys wanna get signed up, use the link down in the description. It will automatically take you to a page where code Guggen is applied and you get $10 off your first box subscription. And these boxes are solid, guys. Telling you, you're gonna save money on these boxes. Chatterbait bucktail right off the bat, starting it out with one of the baits that's probably caught more fish than dagum Santa Claus. Instead of a actual rubber skirt, you've got a hair skirt better in colder water. That's where you see a lot of the buck tails being used. Oh my gosh, dad. Is that a carp? Tell me that was a carp splash. We've also got a square bill crankbait, always good in these conditions as well. You wanna fish a little bit slower, but good to bump around cover. This is the Excite XB5. Strike King rodent. It's a beaver-style bait. Green pumpkin, excellent. How many fish have been caught on green pumpkin color? Somebody let me know in the comments. Probably over a million, though. Let's go Carl's Amazing Baits. Carl, the guy that wears the vest. The word Amazing is probably a stretch for Carl, but this bait does look really good. Comes in clam. Ooh, look at that. That's like a blue pearl crawl right there. That looks fantastic. Big Bite Bait's Coontail Worm, which is basically like a ring fry looking worm. Great for Carolina rigging. If you wanted to finesse fish that. Then we got a Lunkerhut Kraken Lipless. As you guys know, cold water. Lipless crankbaits, good in cold water. They're very good in early spring, but in this type of situation, bass are kinda schooling around little points and things like that. Could be very key. This is a jig head, so we could use this for shaky heading. Mystery Talk Box, thank you. Three ducks just landed over there. Beautifully. Get some tide on. Let's get to fishing. The bush is out on a point right now. I'm using this Furry Chatterbait. Kinda crawl over the tops of them. There's just no way there's not a bass on this point or leading into this cove. I just refuse to believe it. I'm gonna do a little flippin'. Something's gonna happen in here. Okay. Dad, we're not leaving here until we catch one. A lot of people on right here on this little ridge. Oh, come on, right on that point. Broke my line. Where did you score those gloves? You like those? What is that? I'm powering the, harnessing the power of the carp there. Let's get a good gander at those. Wow. Yeah, those are carp. The carp bring me luck. I see. Yeah, lots of carp out here. They might be stifling my luck today. I think so. Yeah, I think I'm about to take them off. Really did not want to leave this cove until a fish had been sniffed. I had one bite, did not land it, did not feel like a big bite, so it'll feel too bad about it, but these fish are either out deep or there are some up in this brush type stuff. I've seen shad back in there, but it's super difficult to fish and there's so much of it. You might get a bite, you know, every once in a blue moon. There's just so much cover for them to get in. Literally everywhere you throw, we got a sniff one. My hands smell like baby lotion right now. You know how terrible that is? I need them to smell like nice, sloppy, big, largemouth. That's what I need. Oh gosh, what a big head shake. This could be a real big largemouth. Here we go now. Now it's fun. I'm trying to get something big on one of these ledges for all these white bassar and I've either got a big catfish or a big largemouth that's wanting to stay down. I've got a really, really light rod and I was using that little blade bait just to hope that it stays on. I got to take it real easy. This is, I want to say this is like eight pound braid and a 10 pound liter. I mean, just look at that rod. Oh, that's how it happens. I've seen it happen many times like that. Dad gum, that was a big one. I've been waiting on that bite. All these white bass out here and I was like, oh, there's gonna be one on this ledge. Sometimes what you're faced with is not the conditions conducive for shallow fishing. I really don't feel like I've done this box justice. There's a lot of good stuff in here. I wasn't equipped for the deep stuff, the real deep stuff, which I'm sure a lot of you don't fish that deep anyway. I'm addicted to deep fishing in the cold months and that's why I like to stay out there just because I see big groups of fish huddled. You don't have to. And especially on warm days like this, there's always fish that move up in the shallows. I also realized that not a lot of you have big boats to go out there in the middle of the lake on windy days and it's not always gonna be the best conditions for getting out there and dangling deep. So what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna take you guys on an adventure to go find some smaller waters. Use this box the way. What's that? That was awesome. That was awesome? I gotta get a commitment, putting the boat on the trailer on a windy day. It took some skills. I'm not gonna lie. LFD did a good job on the back end as well. You guys know I don't like to quit and I definitely don't want to not catch fish on anything in the box. That's terrible. Even though me and my dad had fun out here today, we got a lot of white bass and I hooked into one of the biggest largemouth that I've hooked into out here. Unfortunately, I lost it. Wish you guys could have seen it. Wish we all could have seen it. A lot of the baits that are in the box are better suited for shallow fishing and this lake, the way it's setting up right now, 31 foot of water is like where everything is and the brush is just a lot of briars and sticky stuff that makes it very difficult. Let's turn the page and let's go dangle some bass and some other shallower water. We had a very, very good time fishing today but we have left you some time to wash off your truck. Man, I have never seen a dirtier truck in my life. I mean, where have you been? Yeah, I went out to the ranch and I got her dirty. I know you wanted to wash it. I know that's why you brought it up. Dangle it. Dangle it. Oh, man. Let me get my truck wrapped in dangle it next year. Got the buckies, the truck's full of gas, got two trolling motor batteries active. We'll make it just fine. We'll catch fish in between then between the trolling motor dies. That's like my new, what do you call it, limiter regulator. I'm not catching fish before my trolling motor dies. I'm doing something wrong. You need a what? You need a knife? Oh, pliers. Oh, I think that's my top water. It actually is yours. And it's found its way to that camo seat. Look at all those dugs getting up right now. A beautiful sight. This bad boy right here is loaded with trees. It looks like water is so still. Nice, crisp morning. Oh, it feels good. It feels great. Let's dump her in and let's see what this one has to offer. I want to get hammered on this bucktail chatter bait thing. Water stained. I'm going to go ahead and say this right now. You're five pounders caught today? Well, I'm going to say yes. But I think there's probably a good chance that there's going to be a fish that doesn't come out of one of these trees. Straight braid needs to be an option. Straight braid? Look at all the, it hasn't, the trees haven't even lost their limbs and stuff yet. This is like brand new stuff. Got it right there. Good fish. Big one. What? Was that me or you? That's you. On the GoPro? First fish. First fish coming off this thing on the bucktail. It's a donk. I mean, it loaded up and I was like, what? Come here. Oh, man. You just made me think about it. We got bait balls out there? Yes. Yeah, we got bait balls right behind us. There we go, guys. On that little bucktail. Isn't that cool? That's a foreski. Solid. My gosh. OK, now we're, now it's happening. I got to get a sniff. Oh, that is delicious right there. That is beautiful. OK, now we're talking. The hell, we got nothing. We've already boated two fish, which is good. I'd like to boat some more. Nightmare battery scenario has entered the picture. Let's do it right. Look at that fish. That's a juicy one. Free the fish, folks. He was up there. Got him. Oh, my line just started. I never felt in my line. I just went, woo. Yes, sir. There we go. Little flipping fish right there. I'm a giant, but boy, he took it so nicely. Let's switch it up here. See if we can get one on this little crawl unit. NTB is doing a good job with their boxes. 17 feet right here is going to drop into this little. Ooh, look at that rock right there by the tree. Daniel's spot. Ooh, there it goes. Oh, he hit it on the drop. Oh, gosh, dude. I thought it was going to be huge. Right when it dropped off, I was like, oh, it's a big one. A little tiny. There's got to be another one down there on that ledge. I'm so excited I'm still holding a fish. Yeah, look at this. You got everything. OK. Oh, barn burner. Up in the shallows with that jig. Not exactly what I like to think of when I'm throwing a jig and crawl. No, I never felt that fish, though. I was like, my own stick. Just kind of got heavy. Rob, I'm just going to take a little gander into your terminal box here if you don't mind. Ooh, we're going to poke that one in the nose there. Make a nice little finesse presentation. But wow, that wind is kicking up. So you know what that means. We're going to put on a square bill. I'm feeling this little XB5 right now. Look at this little guy. You want to just pull him down. There wouldn't have been any issues. Ouch, ouch, ouch. Ooh, those hooks are sharp. All right, so that's always good when you're tying on a square bill and then there's a fish flopping on the deck that was just caught on a square bill. That's what you want to see right there. So a lot of these fish are suspended, y'all. That's why these moving baits have worked. And it seems like the fish we caught on the bottom are around six foot, for the most part. Once you get in, you know, 15, 20 feet of water, there's fish that are suspended in that six foot zone. Oh, I see some sheds. Ooh, got him by that tree. Oh, here we go. There you go. Right by that tree, you gave it a little pause sesh. Smacked that square bill, Davey. Those are little excite baits, square bill. Just gave it a little pause. I haven't smelled like watermelon with that. Got him. Got him. Got him. Ooh, he got it good. Perfect timing, because I'm hooked on a lot. Ooh, he ate it. Back here in like tops of the trees, just let it float up. He ain't a fat one. He needs to eat a little bit more. OK, let's go hit that road log. Steven, hey, I got another one. Got another one? Yeah, I got another one. Big one? Oh, he came off, hey. Shad, Shad right here. Oh, I just had one chasing mine. Chased right by the boat. You got a buddy with him? I might. You have a buddy with him? Oh, not a bad fish. There's something towards that tree. Look how he's got this square bill, dude. You know what that was? Look at that. That's where I caught that big one. I think it was on the backside of this tree. I think there's something going on there. He's freaking pale. So we've got one tree right here that's literally stacked with some fish. And they are loving it. This is fun. Woo-boo-boo-boo-boo. Got ourselves a little mid-channel dweller there. The fish was right in the middle of the channel, y'all. That's how they are rolling up in here as we go back in this creek. You know, in the beginning of the creek, they're still suspended. In the back, they're kind of in some grass. But out here, they're just relating to that little ledge. I actually caught that one on the big bite worm. Just dragging it around on the ledge. He absolutely gobble-gerbed it on the pals. That, my friends, is the story of the day. I think we're going to end on that one. Square bells. They kind of just get it done right now. Yeah, that's actually very true. He decided to actually eat a crankbait. You know how they eat a worm? Sometimes they do that with heart baits. And they eat your gloves, as well. We're done. What an incredible dangle today, y'all. Absolutely killed it. Now it's time to put this thing on the trailer, which I don't know how this is going to work out, to be honest with you. This gravel ramp, two-wheel drive, soggy. We'll see. It's all part of the adventures. All right, Rob. Stuck here. The boots had to come back out. We did it. Daggum did it, y'all. It was almost one of those deals where I had to almost call Stephanie and be like, honey, I'm going to be here overnight. I'm never going to be here. But we got it out thanks to dedication, hard work, a lot of gasoline, some half-decent tires with a little bit of tread on them, and just some good old-fashioned putting our heads together. We figured out the right angle for the dangle. If y'all want to check out any of the baits that were used today, you can check them out at Carl's.
