 Oh God, that's a big fish Where the pines grow tall welcome to exploring outdoor greatness here Welcome back to the channel y'all glad you subscribe glad you're here. We're going on a adventure What's known by me and Lunkers TV as the terror this time of year in the spring? We usually like to go out east where there's a lot of grass in the lakes You can see in the water better it warms up quicker in this part of the state and the bass fishing is normally better ahead of schedule Then you're typical of you know where we live So that's why we come out here, and it is a it's popular place to go bass fish It is literally on the edge of where you know, I fell in love with bass fishing over at Lake Ford You know this whole East Texas area Just beautiful scenery grasses you think bass are all up in here when you see the lakes I am sending it to What lake we spent a little bit of time at last year But I want to spend a little more time today and see what we can get on the line There are some mega crappies in here some really really fat healthy bass It's not too big of a lake So we're gonna go check that out and then there's some other lakes in the region that we're gonna end up going In the next few days, so I got I got the silver bullet behind me. I got all my camping gear I've got loaded. I'm loaded down loaded for bear. I'm loaded for crappies I'm loaded for large mouth loaded for anything that that tries to jump out there and attempts to buy my lure So I can twerk it should be an interesting episode today y'all We're great to see all finally out here on the water Long travel day. This water is The same colors I remember what it's 64.8 You've been paying attention to the vids lately been talking a lot about the water temps moon phase, you know current moon phase we are a waning give us 65 didn't 65 right now. So in my mind. I'm thinking shallow Shallow especially with muddy water these bass have got to be up in the mud Today is really an exploratory day to try to figure out what the fish are doing what? What patterns are going to come about? So that is my job and to also be careful out here in ET big old stumps Tend to knock the old Yamaha around. So I'm gonna take it slow take it easy See if we can figure out a pattern again I think this is my first day out of the year fishing its adles Go ahead and smash a like button on that Smash the like button for just going and sporting new stuff a couple of cranks couple of spinners That sort of deal it always just takes a minute You know just to get out here to figure out, you know, what are the baits going to be what are the selections? You know, what rods am I gonna use and get those rods dialed in or your cast and all of them really good It takes a minute, you know unless you're doing it every day Which I don't anymore, but I try to fish a lot as you guys know Throw in the meat potatoes water 64 above 64. It's meat potatoes time when I say that I mean I'm breaking out the bigger stuff I'm breaking out jigs. I'm breaking out chatter baits. I'm breaking out my spinner baits. I'm breaking out the That's you know every everything that's big and bold I'm ready for big bass a little bit of a wind here And there's some riprap. I figured I would go ahead and hit that situation my biggest site fish is a nine pounder, but I've caught More fish bigger than that that I haven't seen that I have seen on bed. So It's not discouraging to me Next thing we got a look for y'all is some bait evidence of the crappie right there. No No, that's a gigantic yellow bass. I believe whoa, those were teeth that tasty, too Far the scouting report has been not good. I just fished some beautiful cypress tree areas Look great look promising So I got to explore some other things I was really hoping they were gonna be in that nice calm beautiful area, but it's not looking like that I Got to be careful out here a lot of stumps trees I'm gonna head out to another completely different area. I'm gonna keep truck I've been cruising in the shallows for quite some time. I just saw my first bass on a bed. I'm surprised I could even see this water clarity but Just kind of spooked it off didn't really seem Too hot to trot. Oh, I even see those are catfish See some catfish in the shallows man What the crap? Think I have a spawning pair to my left I'm gonna go with this soft approach here Okay, I think I've identified the male Oh, they're both angry at it. They both don't like it. Here is the move folks Open got me a little something special in here, and I do Prototypes prototype crawls Claws and beavers. These are These are Guggenbates. This is the cracking crawl, but we don't have a white or pearl color out yet So been experimenting with some Some new colors. This would be one. This would be, you know putting on your swim jigs Or bed fishing like this Where you can see the bed. This is such muddy water that I can't see so I'm gonna Try to put this white craw on there. It doesn't look like these fish are too spooky first locked pair of 2019 Sight fishing. I did not think I was gonna be doing that today. I'm in extremely muddy water Just got to look for shadows, but that might be the way I have to catch these fish because They're starting to pair up and they don't really want to eat Okay, I feel like the lock Oh gosh, I feel like the lock is happening now She ain't moving. Came right on top of it Getting more and more aggressive. This is some strong willed fish right here. I'll tell you what Well, bam Right on you right on your side. There you go Start getting fast with this fish. I just need it to get a little reaction When you start going like really quick taking it in and out They start to get confused you can do it with with fish that are just locked on sitting there Like this one get started getting a little antsy They're more likely to just do a reaction bite on it switch baits That's big fish switch baits it got her got her to go Bigger than I thought Wow That one's got some shoulders. I Thought it was like a four it might be like a five or six. Oh With the dust settle on that one for a minute There's two more. I just need to find the ones that are gonna gobble dark season. It's here Not as big but they're there just gonna go from the knee Okay, that fish Definitely got scared of that not my best flip. Yeah, that fish is freaked Just not gonna do it Okay, I went down the bank a little further and I just saw a female bass is behind And that's sandy spot. She showed herself Put her tail straight up in the air. She just did it again What a freaking big and yeah, I'm not really sure how fast it's gonna happen if it's gonna happen I'm going in hard With my jig They are actually spawning at this moment. It's gonna be hard to get their attention She oh god, it's begging She made a big circle. God. This is just disappointing No, and there's big fish And I can't get on a bite So once again, I'm gonna have to abandon this fish Man y'all This is why I love and hate site fishing. We find them. It's like so awesome You're like, oh my gosh, that one looks like it's gonna. You know, it's for sure gonna eat And then, you know, they don't eat or they swim off or you know, you stick one it comes off Stuff but now I'm like in that zone. I just want to go find more of those when I catch one It's gonna be a sweet snap But I've seen five or six ish I've seen one about eight and this is some good fish, you know, so of course spending some time on Couple of giants Doubt they're gonna buy at least it's like a Five and a six together that one's pissed. These are the most catchable I've seen Ripped my painters. I'm so defeated. It's like I don't even want to I don't even want to make a video This is embarrassing. I feel like this is an embarrassing day I've had three long attempts On bed fish and I've I've squandered them, you know, that one's four four ish That one was five. The other one was probably seven or eight. There are just some days You're not meant to catch one I don't even know if my GoPro was rolling for that But uh, just caught a four pounder. It was running off With my line I thought it had it in its mouth Then it was just like on its side, man. I stuck it Unfortunately, son of a gun. This is just not my day This fish represents a lot. This has been one of my toughest days of fishing Not like trying to find fish. I've found fish. It's just trying to catch them And I'm gonna give you a big old sniffaroo All right, you guys see that bloody tail That's what's going on. That's why they're hard to catch. All right. I'll let you go Again guys, one of my toughest days I've ever had um, I was just throwing that swim bait and I I freaking got a rod rattling hit Go to set the hook and it's like it's swimming right at me. I couldn't catch up to it Well, y'all, I'm gonna go put it on the each right there five bucks to camp here You get primitive camping for five bucks. I was like, where do I go? Yeah, just somewhere out there in the wood. It's good quick to your spot That's what I got to get set up now guys And I'm going to start here tomorrow fresh. I just didn't have the mojo going today Today could have been a much more successful day had I caught a few of those good bed bass, you know A seven a five If I would have hooked into the the fish that I I I lost on the on the swim bait That would I was a solid hit. I had it four, you know I just had a three a second ago like it would have been a really nice day of fish I just couldn't put anything together. But tomorrow is a new day. I'm gonna think about all this tonight No netflix no distractions I think I'm gonna be camping inside of my boat so Let's go get camp set up and then I don't know eat something we're gonna eat something Welcome to camp lfg for the night We're amongst the pines We're just going to take the silver bullet right here. I have my whole tent and everything I'm just like I don't really want to set the whole thing up I've never done this before and I think this will actually work if I put the tent cover on here And then propped it up It basically is a tent and then I have my sleeping pad and sleeping bag sleeping bag I can put it in there and it should be fine. I think it's going to be in the 50s tonight So it should be pretty cozy in there. It's probably going to smell like soft plastics Which I'm okay with I used to live in a tackle store Well, you guys are pretty familiar with the back of my truck situation This is what the this is why I built this crate right here ET tour man You just you just get in your little camping spot Get your propane tank hooked up to your burner Throw some deer meat on it Chew it up good Then you just come over here You know, I got my charger ready to charge my things I got my pad. I got my my pillow and then I've got a sleeping bag too Also in my crate. It's all good in the hood guys I've even got a pancake grill for uh for those pancakes. I'm gonna whip out in the morning Just kidding. Don't have pancakes for the morning. I do have some some deer sausage though I'm gonna cook up and I got some uh some already boiled eggs that I got from buckets I'm not even sure I have anything to throw on this grill at this point. Uh Uh, just starting to fire though, you know, it makes you feel like You're you're doing something Nothing like a steamy cheesy mmm $5 camping y'all Welcome to my humble the poad fishing freaks This is pretty cool. It's my office away from my office. Uh There's you know a couple of spiders crusty spiders hanging from the ceiling. We got there a little arachnid Issue no McGill got my sleeping pad I took my shooting sticks from the back of the truck Never know when you're gonna need those acted as a little teepee situation. I've got my tripod Setting up that little area right there So my head goes there and then my feet are here and I've got plenty of Of space going on back here. We've got uh our charging station So we're gonna set up our gopro batteries and our phone stuff on that if we want to rock some tunes We've got the bluetooth set up over there got some got some speakers up under here Just hanging out on the internals of the boat You know, maybe do a little graph map looking so I'm all set up for tomorrow's day. Oh y'all I got a good feeling about tomorrow today. It was just not my day Even when I was setting up a little dealio here Uh, I had a crappie angler come up. He's like, man, you just didn't spend enough time on them docs You know So I think I have a good strategy figured out for tomorrow's dangle on both crappie and bass And we'll just rotate around see what is good and then attack Whatever is biting y'all. Thank you guys for coming along for all these adventures Um, the reason I got all all this stuff and did a review on it on it earlier is because because of this moment right now Going on the tear when the nights are in the 50s 40s. It's beautiful. Might as well just camp out And there's the coyotes you realize when you're camping out in your own boat underneath the boat cover that, uh You have a serious fishing problem And I hope you guys do too If you do let me know in the comments and I hope to see you right back here on the next dangle I love you fishing freaks and I'll see you on the next one
