 Spot lock it right here. Oh Welcome back to the channel everybody and good morning a glorious morning. I'm surrounded by deer y'all Absolutely surrounded by him There's a there's a mama and her phone there's a little box that You know, they're all still in velvet out here. It's just a spike. You're just walking around There's another phone. I see, you know, they still got their their spots. You're just looking at me Well, you know, I'm getting ready to the bass boat Prepared to go give it a good old outdoor dangle out here Man, you guys watch the last video, you know that I have fished this lake in the past. It's been many years, but This is a place that I used to camp and it was I just remember it being really cool I don't remember this many deer being out here, but They've had a population explosion and a population explosion on the smallmouth as well last night We ended up sleeping in the truck and it actually worked out pretty good. I laid out my pad in here and My truck has these vents these windows open entirely so they'll they slide all the way open However, it was still very very much steamy in there and I've been up since like 4 30 just You know ready ready to get up and go fishing because I was sweating while we're up this early We should definitely take advantage of that possible topwater bite that might Be with us I got to see a little bit of the topwater action yesterday. I mean just had one of the coolest topwater eats ever So i'm hoping to get on some of those crazy smallmouth again and go explore more of the lake So we're gonna go see if we can Find some more spots find some more outdoor greatness But it's already off to a good start All that's missing is a good hot cup of coffee Baby That deer's taking a dump over there What a shot that'd be a shot of the year All I'm gonna do is roll out to the lake Dumping on me and start the motor and get on going on the day greatest thing about mornings I'm always in a good mood in the morning when I'm going fishing Well, there's no boo-boos yet in the day. It's just you and the fish. You haven't even got a backlash yet You know, you fish a lot and you're just holding a dslr camera in one hand and just backing the boat in with the other It's looking good Yeah, just a little floater I missed my step I missed my step on my old skater The old man step I've never actually been up early enough to see my electronics start off in night mode That's pretty cool. If you don't even have to switch anything Y'all I'm ready to roll. Let's get it You ever just have a bank that speaks to you? I was planning on going further than this and then I just said This bank it's just it's talking to me Wouldn't you know it? Big old boulder divvies Right on this bank Oh my gosh freaking Smallmouth or something trying to blast it got him first cast of the day ladies and gentlemen go ahead and tap it And it is a skinniest smallmouth of all time Oh my that is a texas bullet smally Oh, don't you do that with that dump water in my hands, sir my gosh Got you out. Okay The attempts did you see how many attempts? What happened on that? I know y'all can't see this boulder, but I mean it just got right over the top of it and He said I need that in my face. I'm hoping there's just like a random Like a maverick four pounder on one of these boulders that'll Come up and play in the low light This water's warm one is 82 degrees. Geez. I think they definitely like this walking style I wasn't going to start off with a popper But I can cover more water with this so I think I'm just gonna stick with that. This is a really cool color y'all This is a cracked up color But top waters are always tricky and they like uh, you know something shad flavored, but Sometimes they'll get a little close to it and clear water and they'll shy off of it for some reason. Maybe they've seen a hundred of them or whatever So I like this little broken up profile Also like uh black just plain old black sometimes Because they can't really figure out what it is. It's just a silhouette Oh my goodness ladies and gentlemen sunrise Bass boat with a rooster tail coming in hot about 62. Come on now Whip it on out there and twitch it over this boulder Oh I'm a happy camper literally Oh my gosh, what in the world holy smallmouth Dude, hopefully the camera started rolling for that shot Oh my god Yo, what an explosion Oh my gosh Oh, these things have had their coffee and they're ready to go to work That is what I'm talking about God that was up there a little shallower Get out of you that's Look at this Morning light smallmouth. Oh baby Oh man Oh, this is fun. Holy cow. Yeah, that was up there kind of shallow My line just started screaming after he took off. I mean wow That was cool Well, they're just in those little tight focused areas I'm gonna idle over to the other side Crack a cold one maybe get a bite of my sausage from last night so cool having That refrigerator on the boat You all see that? I don't think it was a bass. I can already tell you this bank I don't think it has enough depth I'll work this next 50 yard stretch And then we'll know I need like 20 feet of water Real close I'm just gonna go ahead and recognize that fact early So I can stay on them fish God there's bass for exploding over there exploding topwater style No reason What is happening out there? There must be some tree out here That fish are sitting in And some shad got pushed up to the surface That was getting pretty close there. Oh, oh, oh, that's a good size fish Freaking come on. Oh my god spot locked it right here I think that fish is sitting in a tree over deep water I got him. I got him. Oh, baby Oh, that's a little one though. That's a little one. That's not the one I saw Are you gonna have any friends? largemouth out there in the open waters It's anchor right here See if I can hit that spot again. I know there's Somebody else out there. Oh, yeah It's like see there's a tree and then there's one two three four Looks like five fish sitting there and rotates if I can see it a little bit better. Here we go Okay, so it's out here 25 feet in front of me. I'm having trouble getting bit in these trees y'all I thought that was going to be the juice and I could see them in there I had the largemouth come up way out of the tree. You need my top water You know at the bottom of the tree was like 30 foot. I was thinking I'll just get a little worm down there and just clean them up It's not happening though. The top water seems to be working really well. I don't think I'm gonna take that off I've had better luck around the rocks. I know the trees are good at just I'm missing something I'm missing Something that's gonna Help me catch those fish. I don't know what it is yet But I'm gonna take this opportunity to go explore the lake now. I think the morning You know feed is probably over So I'm just gonna run and see what banks are looking good See what areas have good rock transitions boulders trees whatnot and just go see more of the lake that I haven't seen in many years and then Try to find some spots that I've never fished before So just stopped at an area where the sun is still behind The wall right here. So I'm getting some extra shade And I'm just gonna use my polarized lenses to look for any Boulders that are sticking out work the old toppy top for a little bit longer Oh my gosh Oh, dude, that looked like a big splash. Don't come off Right there in that little shade pocket. Oh, yeah, she's pulling now Oh, yeah smallmouth explosions I mean, I thought it was bigger but dude aggressive Beautiful smallmouth right there And just got all of it That go fear for my life topwater treble hooks and smallmouth Hey mean Well, I tell you what that is a that is a hard bite to get off of Once you experience it is just like It's like a frog hit Little largemouth just slurps a frog. It's like whoo I think I could throw this for another couple hours without a bite or something chasing it What was that the bluegill? As soon as I got around some shade and rocks Oh my gosh There we go Now the random smally. What's this one gonna be? Oh, this one's pulling this one's pulling really good now Oh god, it got off as a big one shoot Man, it started really pulling drag right there at the end. Ah dad gum it ah, man I had my drag loose. That's just one of the unfortunate things About fishing braid and topwaters Gotta take them easy That was just one of those maverick biggins It's about as big as a smallmouth as I'm gonna catch out here Ned time Ned time little ggb Little deeper pale colored And it is a doinker In the deeps Wow, it wasn't it wasn't rolling for that. Okay Well, I just caught one on topwater off the boulder middle of middle of the sunlight Pretty much just talked to talk to the camera for a couple minutes And realized it wasn't on Yeah Aren't those little caves up there just crazy all Just think about what used to live in there back in the day this area of texas is just full of limestone And I've run up to a part of the lake. I've never been to and there's just these like sheer cliffs of these caves And just these giant limestone walls. It's really cool, but The fishing sucks the fishing sucks I'm gonna fish this one last stretch here because I see some boulders See if I can come up with something and if not, I am going to take it back to the treehouse I had an exciting morning, but I know right now. It's gonna be just a grind It's gonna be a grind to get these fish. They're all moving out deed starting to lock down It's just getting tougher and tougher to catch them. So anyway Oh, it wouldn't be a video unless I fell in my own boat Oh boulder candy Oh gosh, what a hit. Oh, you're kidding me. You gotta be side swiping Son of a biscuit. I mean just boom. There's two bites right there. Very odd Like hard hits On the rattle of Ned normally they don't let go that it's so small Man, I got hung in something Ah I'm gonna show y'all They all that live in Texas and some of these other states that are starting to get these things now zebra mussels The lakes come down and you can see these rocks are full of them right here That's what they look like And they are Sharp sharp sharp notice on a couple occasions on this fishing trip. My line was just cut easily And that's why it's because of the zebra mussels. They nick your line Makes the water clear because they're filter feeders, but They can clog up pipes and they can cause damage in marina areas and Municipalities, you know places that are that are using pipes and sewers And they can be annoying for boat owners that keep their boats in the water So I always want to make sure you don't have any of those in your Live well in your it usually won't get them if you don't you know if you're taking your boat in and out But you know if you're like keeping your boat here overnight or something and some of them attach I don't know. I always just want to check because They're nasty and they're spreading everywhere in texas All right y'all we are going to take it on in we are ending Our day next to the deer again. They're just out here roaming around dozens of them Just being peaceful deer just sitting in the shade and I've been sitting in the shade cleaning up the boat This place has terrible water spots Everything is cleaned drained and dry And I just used uh, I think this stuff is called boat sauce Something like that boat sauce. I don't know just took a microfiber towel And rinsed off uh or sprayed down and then wiped off all the water spots take some right off It's really easy. I've actually been trying to keep the silver bullet clean And I've been doing a decent job of it keeps it nice and sparkly when it's cruising down the road Our morning dangle started off extra special There's something about sleeping next to the water Where you just there's no rush or anything you just I mean it's just easy breezy and then all of a sudden You just get on bites and had that top water thing going again lost a magnum And then it got tough and I had to make sure I was fishing on those boulders Big rocks this time of year Fists just I mean I could see bluegill on them, you know, there's large mouth or small mouth They're just living on those big rocks. Look at this little feather treble over here hanging out of the side I mean, I'm Not used to having long hair. That's interesting. Thank you fishing freak for tag along on all these fishing adventures I'm gonna sign it off. Peace be with you in all of your outdoor adventures, and I'll see you soon
