 Good morning. Maybe it's not morning where you are right now. Maybe it's evening or afternoon or something like that But let me tell you the morning's here on table rock are beautiful. That's right. We're finally here I hope you guys watch the last vlog traveling up here, but right now we're sitting at the ramp getting the silver bullet ready to get wet Hold conditions here. It's 39 it's about 9 o'clock So we've waited a little bit until it's warmed up a few degrees started out about 35. We got overcast conditions We're gonna try to figure out where these fish are going pods of small knees large mouth and spotted bass It could all be here Yes It doesn't matter anyway if we don't catch any fish because we're such we're in such a beautiful area You look bundled and ready to go my friend. I think I'm lost. Are we not in Texas? We're not in Texas anymore, but we've never fished here together. You've come up here separately with Heather You've had a great time me and Stephanie have come up here separately. We've never been together So it's awesome girls are out doing antique shopping this morning. We're gonna meet up with them this afternoon Enough talking about things. Let's get on the water and get to fishing, baby This is gonna be an indicator of how our fishing day is gonna go. We get this slow-mo action here for you guys That was good skips. Okay. That's pretty good. First one's a little better. All right, try to get a feel for the lake Son of a it's 90 foot deep Whoo look at all them Chad down there my gosh man a few chasers around there a couple shopping carts here a couple shopping carts for sure Yeah, looks like a hula hoop Somebody left a good call Greg. You've been on your game lately. I think this is the move right here I think we go try to find some transition banks. That's that's where I've always done the best out here Normally fished in the fall transition banks they go from like pea gravel to kind of chunk rock That's the kind of the area where smallmouth like to spawn. I'm really not sure about spawning a spotted bass I really don't know but we're gonna do a little bit of graphing some investigation and we got a chunk of wine, baby I'm thinking thinking will reward crank bait get that little swim bait out there. Maybe a little grub action Man, I gotta break out a finesse jig at some point, you know, you know Right now though, we're sitting at 120 feet doing nothing with our lives except talking to the camera trying to explain I just get excited when I come up here guys. All right, we're gonna fish fish Guessing you called it to you got probably gonna get hung up on the first one You did popped it off made another cast and caught a large enough Stupid didn't have audio right there. I apologize for yeah, I literally just rigged up a Ned rig. That's my first fish on a Ned rig That crazy. I was like, you know what? We're gonna rig up some Ned rig some finesse stuff just for if things get a little bad So I just want to show you guys what that deal was that I just caught that that fish on right off the bat Starting it out. That is what's called the Ned ring just a little shroom head. That's got a little Cinco thing going on that's on super light line. I got that on I think six pound test on my little phantom series favorite rod and I got I got Craig rigged up with a One of the six decks seven fours for throwing the same same kind of deal finesse up But here's the important part. Here's what's going on here. This is what we said we were gonna look for First spot we pull up to see we've got this Well, first of all, you got big big chunk rock over here and then it goes to kind of some pebbly's like like probably the size of Baseballs and then it goes to just straight up pea gravel and that is honestly I thought that was gonna be a small mouth on because this is where small mouth usually spawns We got 200 feet of water behind us I just casted it out this way and I was working it kind of in that that pea gravel and as soon as it Starts to drop off a little bit of fish hit so sitting in 10 foot right here 200 behind us Good for good first catch got to say finesse style. All right after that first little fish I'm just kind of working my way around this island. I've got a Wiggle wart tied on right now. I'm working this pea gravel Took me forever to get all my stuff tied on but I've got I've got a swim bait rigged up Craig's got a swim bait rigged up back there as well Got a dead rig and then I've got this wiggle wart crank that I'm throwing just trying to bounce it off some of this pea gravel and We're on a the shallower side of it So I'm trying to see if any fish are committed to moving up onto this flat It's overcast water's 54 degrees But we're gonna go around this island and see what happens Our only fish we've caught so far is on the front side where it's got really deep water close by Are you zooming in my coffee pee stain? No, it's a dandy though Or we've been working our way all the way around this island. We're about to get to the All the way to the other side where it starts to get deep again Don't think these fish have committed to moving up onto the flat area yet So I think finding some deeper water close by is gonna be a Key element you get a fish Yeah, set that drag and get them stick them again Yeah, I know man, you should have stuck them again, bro. It's right where that transition is. That's Where they want it. Yeah Yeah, I'm down there in the cracks. Is that a fish? That's fish fell off into the crack and he had it. He's got heavy Call it smally largey. I think it's a spot. That's a nice spot. It's a spot, bro That's a great spot. Oh, he had it too, man. It honestly felt heavier. Look how pretty that fish is. Look at that guy go. You want to get him? Just fat. No, I'll sling him. Look how pretty that is. Ah, there we go, baby. Look how healthy that fish is. Look at that. Whoa, belly! That is beautiful. Football, man. Yeah, I was bringing it up over one of those boulders and he just He just he just went ham on it Just started getting heavy on me and I mean that thing is gone. I kind of view throwing this net rig and a grub and stuff like that is it's almost like a Fish anywhere kind of thing Like you can fish anywhere on the lake and probably get bites, but you're you're probably not gonna find Like the juice being able to find a really good pattern that you can just run and catch fish I like to find the fish that are on moving baits that are willing to eat You know where you just run around and then cover so much so much so much water And then you're really up in your game Whereas this it's like you could throw this off any dock probably and get a fish to bite it But it does help help you realize there is fish there We just rolled into another pocket and the water is so much cleaner. This is right across the lake I'm talking I can see like five or six feet down. No problem I think it's another spot. It's another spot. Yeah, look at that clear water, dude. That is awesome Oh Another another Ned fish man New technique being learned here Wow As soon as he got to the bottom We just moved and this water is so clear right here that guy's been caught before a He's got the old dip lip. Looks like he's got a fat dip in his mouth. Yeah, watch this fish from away Greg's got a little speed crawl rigged up on a dead head and I've got just this little stickworm and This is a pocket where I've fished a few tournaments and caught some good ones Up around the docks and just wanted to come down here and see it's water super clear And I didn't feel that bite at all by the way. It was just Literally got to the bottom and it just kind of got little Yeah, a little wait the water's so clear they'll just see it falling they'll chase it to the bottom and then when he goes to the bottom Pick it up eight pound test here folks hooked up Hooked up on a fatty spot On that little get in the boat a little crawl right on a point that seems to be Seems to be the deal all these little point transition areas God they're so fat right now dude Spring spot, it's spotted bass. It's wild. He's cold too. He's not warm. No, he's not exactly the most agile right now But they still fight hard Daddy saw something he liked, huh? Fish this little all these transitions man seems to Do we're all right There he is what do we got here smally you're gonna complete the cycle you're gonna complete the cycle don't lose this fish crack Small he's gonna small he's gonna come in hot under the boat is gonna jump. Oh, yes, Molly Yeah, dude, heck yeah, bro watch that eight pound test now There we go Hey completing the three species cycle Yeah single in the first inning we doubled in the third Shippled in the six and right that ain't by you Homer man I was you were just about to say hey we tried another spot and I was I was just thinking like I can't believe I literally just said I can't believe we haven't got a spot. Look at the oh look at the girth look at the girth There it is. This is why I love to come here guys The cycle smally spots and largemouth all in the same morning Pretty spec tackler, man. We'll get a pic and we'll let that guy go pretty savage Okay, let it go into the depths man ready. Yeah She's clamping down got my thumb Yeah, I got strong mouth something yeah they do She was biting down. There's a hundred percent another one down there. Let's get it Let's get that sucker. This is another transition that we literally just came from another area was bounced Whole pea gravel area back there like a pea gravel spawn pocket and then deep ledge out here transition area That's where the that's where the fish are you can really see some of the boulders out there That fish is probably in like 12 to 15 feet of water just a little a little wire head a little wire weed guard head with that Little craw on there They gotta eat it man gotta eat eight pound test leader nicely done on the hook set. Thank you You know I'm Nice she never had a choice just nice. She had to eat it never had a choice Bald eagle I just knew we were destined to see a bald eagle man Just perched right up on the first spot. We were fishing caught a fish got to love this lake, man No giants, but I mean we've we've hit the cycle. We've seen bald eagles That's what I love about it, man. I just can't stress that enough so cool to see all that So back at the first area. We're gonna see if we could pick up maybe one or two more fish right here Broke a good one off here on a warm day like today I don't know if we should go all the way in the back of the creek and also check this afternoon We're kind of in that weird transition moment in time where it's getting warm and I'm not sure what to do Oh Man You just got a bite and then I first cast I picked up a little finesse rig. This is another large mouth. Yeah, so we're at Oh, nice. I think two spots two large mouth. It's just cold, but is it freezing? Yeah Two spots two large mouth and a smally. They're all thick though. Yep healthy Smell good smells great smells great every time Nicely done. I'm glad we came back here, man. I know right where the bald eagle was it's a sign So awesome, but I couldn't get bit on the jig picked up my little eight-pound test Ned rig Eight-pound test has been the trick. I guess honestly a key. Yeah, it really is Well done Probably the last fish we're gonna be able to catch but we're gonna go meet the girls I'll just tell them hey boat broke down. We're stuck. Got a new boat right out of gas See you tonight You saw that oh, yeah, is it nice one? It looks pretty good Can't help it. Oh, that's a fighter. Whatever it is The smally holy crap, dude all three species off one spot. Nice, bro. You're Fire with it Kind of listen with a pound It's pretty sketchy. Yeah, you may want to lift that one There you go, not huge I probably could have flipped them. Oh boy better safe than sorry. Oh, they're all pretty gosh They're gorgeous Ranked me on that landing how to do. Well, that was minus. Oh like a four-and-a-half But is that a C? Wait to see the chew marks on there. Look at them. I saw your rod just go They hit it so hard man. That's pretty though. Love them. You're you're getting debt You're definitely getting more small mouth bites with that crawl. Yep I think that's it. That's a thing, but gosh dude last fish before we get to go pick up the girls It bites hot. Let's go come up and get back in here. I know we're getting hit. How pretty is that? Got to love it, baby. There we go. Oh She's ready That's so cool straight down This bump Hey one spot all species that's pretty special. That's pretty cool. I gotta tell you the ball legal That was it. That was the only we needed. Oh, man. You got to love that Well fishing freaks, we're gonna shut that video down right there when we went to go pick up the wives I was honestly kind of expecting a little just a little cruise action turned into They're actually doing some damage out there and a lot more content and video is extremely long and Way too much to upload here at the slow internet of the cabin So I'm gonna split this into two video guys So part two is gonna be the ladies out on the water So make sure to go check that out tomorrow and this is such an awesome leg I had such a fun time didn't catch any Giants today, but we did catch all three Species and one area I mind you you can do that all over the lake.
