 What is Diaz Amigos? Good morning fishing freaks. How are we doing? Back at it again with LFD, baby. Coming off a strong trip of catching over a hundred bass. I think we caught about a hundred and twenty on the last video. So, time to get that chesty on y'all. Let's go get them. Let's go get them. Dad's really pumped up. That's right. Super excited. This might be the day. This is it. Just might be. That's it right there. Whoo! Alright, Diaz. I'm going to start out with that scrumptious pop water. This is always the most exciting time fishing. Early morning here. The beautiful mountains. Taste the excellence. What do you got me on here? I don't think you're still on here. Nope. There you go. There you go. I think I'm gonna switch up. Tells me something though. First one of the day. Coming on the plastic. Spit it. Sounds like a parrot there on the call. Waka. What was it? Waka. Waka? Maybe? Nope. No Maka? Waka man. Waka man. Waka man. That's my call. That one headed a little bit deeper. I think these fish are real close to the bank right here, these animals. It's not really what we're going for, but... We're going to switch it up right here. Fishing like straight rock ledge. Oh man. We can hook it. So I'm under the impression here that these fish are liking to spawn on these ledges. They're backs protected. And they just feel safe. He's got it. That's got to be a spawn fish. Just picking it up. I'm just trying to take this one ounce jig and just work it down like a stair step. Dad's taking a crank bait. He's trying to parallel the bank. You'll have it up on there on that ledge and then when you bring it off the side it starts falling. They'll bite it on the fall. That's to pay attention to your line. They may pick it up while the jig's falling. I won't even feel it. Oh, it came off. That was a big one. It's about an eight pounder. How's it going? How's it going? It's good. I actually got to see that one. Seed net, good one. There were two more with it. Ah, bien. Yeah, I think so. It's a nice fish. Six pounder, two more with it. Oh man. Yes. Yes. Look at those fish. Nice fish right there. Jig fishing. Just kind of running up the river. We were running up here and I said, hey, let's stop right here. I like this wind. We haven't had wind all day. I just flipped into a bush. Two more with it. Wind is a big deal out here. Since there was two more with that fish some more bass in here in these trees. That's really key. That angle. We're sitting in 34 right here. I like that steep little drop off. I had that one really big one this morning. I think it was eight plus. Just on a straight up ledge. It was next to a tree. This is more just fishing. Windy bank. Get another one. Yeah, you got me hung up though. No wind. Little one. Right where you're supposed to be though. You're even butting my favorite thing here. This is a watermelon candy jig right here guys. I'm putting a chartreuse pepper rage-crawl in there. That seems to be the deal. That's what everybody talks about. Down here it kind of resembles a tilapia I guess. But I really like that chartreuse. It really just looks like I'm throwing to the bank here guys. Let me just kind of try and always do a terrible job of this. I'm really having to focus doing this trolling motor and concentrate where my jig's at. Boat control on this. The aluminum boat's pretty tough in this wind. But I want to try to do a better job of explaining things to you guys. What we're doing here is I'm throwing this jig. I can't really cast it too far. I'm just throwing it about 20 to 25 feet in front of the boat. And I'm working it through the trees. One of the guys here at the lodge asked me last night. He said, how do you work that jig? What do you do with it? Use saltwater fishermen and never fish it before. And there's really no need to sit there and really bob it up and down in the tree. You're pretty much just going to get bit as soon as it gets down there. And I just like to bump it once or twice. Make contact with cover and then keep moving. In this situation I've got trees out of the water so I'm going to throw it directly in there. I want it to fall on a slack line so it goes directly down the tree base. Bump it a couple of times and then reel it in. But there's a lot of trees I can't see. So in that case I just toss it out there and I'm dragging it over it. I try to get it to the top. Pause, let my rod tip drop and let the jig fall right in the middle. A couple of times and then move until I feel the next tree. And I can do that with braid. The 65 pound braid I can feel everything. So this is a heavy heavy combo so I'm working it with two hands so I don't wear out my wrists. But we had a good thing going right there with the wind and then the wind just flattened out. So we're going to move on up the river and see if we can catch some more fish. I like the brush around the bank areas with that steep slope with just that wind man. As soon as you can dive. Done. Little guy out here deeper nuts. Not where he's supposed to be. Come on man. Let's go out there. Let's go out there. See? There's a big fish here. Let's smell them. Oh there's a big one. There's a big one. Yup. Big as I thought. Oh God dang it. Oh well. See? Teguista. Yes it was. Throwing the old disco colored swimmer here. We just on the way in I was looking and I was like you know what? That just freaking looks good. Let's stop there. Wind's blowing on it hard. I said I gotta get me some of that. I could smell a big one. Literally. Yeah I just got really hammered right there. There's a little better one. A little better fish. This is a four-ot hook right here. Actually I think it's a five quarter ounce weight. These things work really good in grass lakes. It's so clear for these spinner baits. Although I think spinner baits were good right here just because of the mud line that we've stirred up. Or the wind's stirred up but this little deal just looks tremendous in the water. Yeah. Skinny. Oh my gosh. Muy fuerte. Muy fuerte si. Si. Big old head on it. Skinny. Flaco. Nice fish. La grande pero esta flaco. Si. Debe de tener de pesar ocho libras. Si. Ocho es gordo. Si. He said it'd be an eight pounder if it wasn't skinny. Instead it's like six but bow. Nice fish. Alrighty guys. We have managed to put together a few toads here. Trying to go after that big one and what I know is a lot of these fish are in that 10 plus 12 plus foot zone. These windy banks are good. Huge pain in the butt to fish. Water's clear. Any time you've got clear water the wind is going to help you. Same thing with the cloud cover and right now we've just kind of got like a haze. Good shot. I got one out of the top. Should be a big one down on the bottom. The sun sets these mountains. This amazingness. Cool. I hope you guys can see it all the way out there. A really cool place to fish. It is time to take it into La Casa. We're going to go grab some nachos and we're going to give some thoughts about the end of the day here. The whole day really. Tasty looking area. Alrighty fish breaks. Today was really a tough fishing day. It was like very calm in the middle of the day. There was a big bag and then the wind started picking up in the afternoon and that definitely helped. The thing that kind of set the tone for me was having that really really big fish, losing that big fish early. That was like a bang. That right there I'll be able to get a big bite. And then it just got super calm. Now I could fish that in the wind. Going up to some of those trees. If I found a good tree I would just kind of bop it in the ledges as well. That's where those fish are holding but I gotta tell you what this thing kicked in on this afternoon. I'm definitely going to be building off of this later so I really wanted to show you this. Throwing this on a 7.5 actually a 7.4 medium heavy. Big sexy and this is a flashy swimmer, owner of a flashy swimmer right here. 25 pound test Sunline Shooter. Really good fluorocarbon on there. That's just a little swim bait. I think that's a skinny dipper. That's going to be really good where I would throw a spinnerbait since the water is so clear right now I'm throwing this. And I hope this helps you guys because this right here is a great alternative to throwing a spinnerbait in really clear water. I noticed some small bait fish swimming kind of close to the surface that were about that long. Had the very similar profile. And this right here I was getting small fish when I was fishing it up shallow but when I let it slow roll down there a little bit deeper. That's where I got those bigger fish. So I'm going to be throwing this a lot more tomorrow. That was basically it. That was the pattern. This is now time to send out Fish & Freaks. Thank you for being here today and I certainly hope you learned something in state tune because we still got to get dead and get dead. That big one. I think I'm going to let him have a lot more spots. I'm just really trying to help him out this afternoon and let him have some areas and kind of figure out some things really help him out because I wanted to catch that big bass. I want to catch one really one like that to catch the pd and catch the big one on a fly. So stay tuned for more action. See you on the next.
