 Good glorious morning everybody welcome back to the channel father son dangle going on today in the kayaks but on a little kayak trend lately with all the flooding in the lakes and today's a special day because I get to spend it with my pops we got a small lake I wouldn't really call it a pond but we're fishing on it a small lake today in the kayaks nice little Chris morning we got up extra early to get out here there's some grass around the edges sun's just coming up I'm hoping there might be a little bit of a top water bite but what I'm also hoping to get on is a good worm bite I haven't been on a really good worm bite and this little lake has September in it I see some grass lines things like that I want to really try fishing the Mondo worm this is normally when I break it out and fishing in lakes out deep fishing ledges brush piles things like that but also really good in in small lakes and ponds and so I haven't really done a whole lot of that with with the Mondo worm I've done it with bigger worms in the past so I know it's got potential so I'm just coming up don't want to miss out on the opportunity for that morning strike so let's get the ax in the water let's get dangled is brought to you by one of my favorite sponsors favorite fishing USA y'all have seen favorite a lot on this channel and from all the Guggen squad guys we've got a lot of stuff in the works and excited about some things coming out and I've been testing out some some new reels and of course my favorite rod to throw my worms and jigs on is my signature series LFG series big sexy I mostly

out link is at the top of the description thank you favorite for sponsoring today's video and now it's time to catch some fish on those favorite rods you got one yet dad disappointed I'm gonna go with the frog watch me twerk here we go down into the sun small little popping frog here throwing it on braid today not making that mistake last time oh dad's got one on got a big and on look at this coming in for the landing pass by get in there whopper plopper come on down nicely done dad thank you that's a freaking dandy to start out with lucky feather in the hat yeah back into the deeps back into the deeps nice way to start the morning I'd say hey I'm one up on you okay well that was good times right there I need to get me one plopper gotta love it oh there's one oh I came off oh just had one boil on it right there oh yikes that's new see fire out the Mondo I'm going at least five out when you're throwing the Mondo 10 inch worm really you know if you're throwing these kinds of big worms a six inch or a six hot can be even better but I'm trying to float this thing up top pretty high this might not be a bad idea it's just fish is gonna really have to gulp it oh my god look at the boil right there look at the boil right there yeah I can't stand it any longer so I've got a 5 16 ounce tungsten going with a four-ot I don't have my five outs with me but that's what I'd normally go with so this dad just caught one on a Texas rig Mondo think it's just time to switch just getting a little windy had some bites on that weightless but there I like a lot of them were bluegill and then I've had I know two were bass but I set the hook a little too quick two of my favorite colors for summer for big worms are some sort of plum or blue flak and then this color right here which is called a red bug something about it I don't know red and purple words in the summer even in the fall seem to seem to get it done I'm gonna pinch the plastic up put the hook in like that and then just remove that little tab that's just to keep the tail doing its thing doing what it's supposed to do working about him off a tree okay first fish right there just going to the Texas rig I guess made that difference something about it swimming they were just not being as aggressive with it so nice little healthy fish let you go buddy I took about four casts second one on the Mondo that was about as soon as it hit the water though what much much going on that one okay buddy need to get a little bit bigger that one hit it as soon as it got in there haven't had a problem hooking them on this four-eyed hook yet the two bites I've had on the Texas rig anyway of that's worked out but definitely like to have that five now the one working that worm slow in that brush better fish right there oh man yeah he hosed it one more job yeah one more delicious jump in here oh yeah there's a nice fish got hooked hooked him good here goes that hook look at that nice healthy delicious bias and you go have yourself a good good day with some more slurpees sorry I had to trick you but it's just just what I do looks like switching to the Texas rig Mondo worm has been the key so this is this is like one of those lakes that's it's a club lake my dad's a part of the club so they got these feeders in here that feed these bluegill and the bluegill get massive like I've had some bluegill take my my Wanda worm and I thought I thought they were for sure bass and they weren't but if you've never fished a place like that or a lake that has big bluegill in it and that's the main forage the bass hit your baits so hard whether it's a crankbait or worm or whatever they're used to crunching down on things that have spines and you know their broad big bluegill are and if they're eating crawfish it's the same way they just crush it versus a fish that's used to eating shad like in a lake or something like that that's got a lot of easy you know the shad are easy to digest there's like no spines or anything on them just little hot dogs so it's actually a lot of fun and kind of scary when you get some bites my dad said he missed one on a frog that was crazy but even though they feed the bluegill you think it would be just like crazy crazy good the way it's managed and everything it's still still tough you still have to work for your bites and I've lost quite a few but what I figured out is that as the sun is coming up I think this is going to be more key these these brush piles there's brush piles that are out here I've got my electronics I can I can see them and there's been a couple of specific areas that like I see the brush pile throw in it just works slow and this doesn't matter if it's a pond that has a brush around it or you know of a small lake or a gigantic lake brush piles and timber like pole timber in the summer always one of my favorite places to fish especially a worm a worm or a big creature bait or a jig too I like to throw a jig a lot but the Mondo worm is literally designed I designed it for fishing in that type of cover versus like a long ribbon tail worm that's the same length that gets it gets caught in the branches a lot more you get get caught up with that long ribbon tail it kind of does like a snake effect around the branches I've also tried cranking which is another key summertime pattern to get into that brush crank that pole timber just crank and anywhere riprap I just love cranking in the summertime it's usually how I start the day if topwater isn't working so I've tried a little bit of that that hasn't worked yet oh yeah got a little weird on that hooks up right in that brush chomp on it for a second come on now absolutely bam boozled it and hung on to it just good got a little thing going on with this mouth there good healthy fish though a little trick if you want to make your worms last a little bit longer they get torn up like that you can bite off about a half inch or just take your sharp knife pop off the top then just re-rig in a fresh spot you should be okay you don't get quite as good cover penetration you got that flat spot right there now doesn't come through the cover is good to make your Mondos or just all your stick plastics last a little bit longer that way or you can just go get more I would greatly come in for a little lunch break a little halftime halftime report right now y'all I think I've got four how many you got you have five dad is definitely in the lead I actually think I have three maybe scooting the truth there and he's definitely got the biggest first one he caught on topwater five and a half probably nice fish topwater was definitely moved this morning with all this that now you can really see the grass and it's thick up there up shallow so I'm surprised I haven't been able to get them on on a weightless rig they really seem to like the more of the Texas rig little blade hook the little swim bait on it and I'm gonna be throwing that on one of the new favorite reels that testing out old red looks like that would be nice on a big sexy but it feels good it's got an oversized handle it's got really heavy dragon I think the drag is like at least 22 pounds and feels really good in the hand smooth no no noises cast really good hopefully we can put that big-time drag to the test with a 25-pound bass I think that'd be a good way to really test this reel out so a little high hopes but you gotta gotta keep it positive you ready let's go oh by the way look at dad's that's sticker collection empty be sticker collection I think you have looks like you have all of them I'm collecting them all trying to covers up my secrets how's the feather in the hat doing well I'm ready to catch one that long the feather in a hat was good I put it in I made a cast and I caught it you know five and a half pretty much you stuck with it all right well I've let you have your fun now it's time to pull into the lead here okay for round two here I'm gonna throw this one bait and then I'm also gonna throw a trench hog instead of a Mondo gonna go with a different large creature bait round two you already hooked up you serious what do you what do you get them on chatter as an old fish you're right dad look at that mark on it yeah it's got a nasty situation there okay okay round two you're kicking ass all right back into the deep well old big bull is putting it on little bull today there's some toads in here I think I need to pull about a seven or eight just to just keep him in check but if not pretty proud of you today oh my gosh one just ate it right by the boat I missed just stopped the last clip tattooed it it's not a big one like my dad's oh oh oh my gosh they're feeding out in front of me feeding out in front of me might be some small schoolers or something crankbait fish on the paws come off just got out one of the googan squad square bales the banger baby standard banger hooked a good one on the crank oh yeah either that or got him foul hooked I think he's pretty good pulling that drags huh pulling that drag oh yeah it's a good fish it's big five six pounder he got it come here baby oh yeah baby look at that switch up for that crankbait hey that's a good fish that's one of my biggest fish on uh I wanted the the banger so far I've caught one about six and a half this one's five I would say so nice I like this color a lot too yee haw on that one right there yes sir y'all I'm so excited about these new googan cranks I want to just throw them on to where I'm out deep today but it seems like they are kind of suspended and feeding around this grass soon as my dad caught one on chatterbait I was like uh oh don't know if they're on the bottom I'm using a seven foot medium heavy on this and a us and a uh 15 pound fluorocarbon so this is more like structure cranking if you're fishing around you know grass you got to rip it out of or trees or docks rather than like open water with 10 to 12 pound test medium medium action rod this one you've got a little bit of power on and that's okay with these hooks you know they're not going to bend out as easy our hooks on the googan cranks come with triple grips must have triple grips so it's a really good hook a lot of people buy those hooks and put them on their crankbaits specifically so ours come with them and they're strong strong enough to power crank with okay coming up to one of these bluegill feeders on a point kind of thinking this crankbait will look like one of these bluegill up there if a bass is hanging around I'll smack this thing thinking it's one of the bluegill hanging around the feeder got them on that hump sounds decent feels decent nice fish pulling me right towards the hump though I want to stay away from it too big a fish so far coming on the banger you well it's probably ties my second biggest fish but eight uh didn't really eat it that good but those triple grips got him see you buddy that was an awesome hit a little hump out here and uh I just threw over the top of kind of ripped it out of the grass and paused it and hit it so it's telling me that the sun is making these fish suspend for some reason normally that puts them on the bottom but just depending on cover water clarity I don't know just specific days sometimes they will just suspend oh there we go another little guy little taut easy now see little guy again the pause kind of letting it float up above that cover and they're just looking up and chasing bait in that zone the June, Texas sun is clearly upon us actually we're almost in July right now so we have got to fish this damn one more time since we've seen the most activity there and then we're going to take it in that is one fish ahead of me right now for the afternoon total I think he's two fish ahead of me and he's got one more big fish than me so it's time to make it happen if we're going to you got one I think it's a good one man he's healthy just grab that back hook got a moment triple grip all right whoo yes one more fish and I tied that for the day got him yes tied you in numbers oh he's caught he's he's in my vessel does that make us tired or do you want to hit that makes us tired for numbers overall it is lunch time and we are getting out of here I think we had a pretty good morning I wish I would have capitalized a little bit more on those top water bites I had two nice ones on a buzz bait and my dad had some pretty good blow-ups too he had a good blow-up on a frog and then obviously he caught the biggest one of the day on a whopper plopper and then the bite slowed down and then we picked up moving baits and then we were catching them suspended so it's almost just kind of like they they got up when the sun came up which is odd I love these crankbaits y'all these bangers the recon's I tried fishing the recon for a little while but they didn't like it deep they were just up there in the water column about three or four feet deep so a little square bill perfect for that task and if y'all are wondering about those hard baits they are coming at you very shortly if you watched my live stream the other day I kind of explained it but they are going to be here mid-July so if you want to get your hands on them first they're going to be at shopcrawls.com which I'll have a link for or if you are fortunate to live next to the Guggen HQ you can come
