 Let's thank for this video. Boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen, best way to catch more bass when you're talking. Come on, Ash. Another tip video today. You guys love the last one, so we're about to, I'm about to give you some more juicy stuff today. Everybody, welcome to another video. Thank you guys so much for the support. Thank you guys so much for clicking on this video. Today I have another tip video because the last one, you guys loved it. You guys learned a lot from it. You know, it was something unique. I really, no one does. So it was different. I hope you guys took those tips, applied them on the water or on the pond wherever you guys went to. And I caught some fish on them, obviously. Well, today what I'm going to be talking about, best way to catch more bass when you're pond fishing. So this is going to be very basic. Like this is very basic, but it's something that you guys need to watch. So I highly suggest you watch this whole video through just because I'm not just going to be talking about what's the most effective way to catch more fish while going to a pond. But I'm going to be applying some more tips throughout the video. I think you guys are going to enjoy it. So let's go ahead and get this started. As you guys can tell, I'm at my old beautiful filming pond right here. We're about to go out there and I want to show you guys how to catch more fish. So everyone, every time I come, you know, I usually come to this pond to see there, you know, I'm filming some little tip videos or I'm just filming a little pond fishing video or, you know, I'm having like a little 1v1 challenge. And before usually many of those even happen, I can already tell you who I'm going to win against or what's going to happen just because of this one basic tip that I use everywhere I go when I'm fishing. I'm telling you, this is a super effective way. It's very basic, but it's just going to be covering water because I see everybody. Every time I go to a new pond, if I see somebody they're fishing that, you know, I don't know, I just see them out there fishing. They're in the same spot. I mean, they're sitting there and they're just casting in the same spot. And by the time they're literally done fishing that same spot, I've already fished the whole pond. And I can promise you already probably have five, six fish to their one, just because I'm covering a lot of water. Now, I know a lot of people are going to say, you know, some days it's going to be very slow and you're going to have to slow down. And I understand that because that's going to happen. You know, some days you're going to realize that the fish are just truly not going to be able to bite. But relating this towards ponds rather than lakes, for the most part, if you're just going to go around and cover a lot of water, you're going to catch fish either way. If it's a lake, it's going to be a lot different. If those fish are shut down, you know, fish on a lake are much harder to catch. It's not like pond fishing. Pond fishing in a way is like shooting a duck in a barrel to an extent. If you guys haven't checked out my last video over the tips, I highly suggest it. I'll link it below, but pretty much one thing that I really talked about in that video. Pretty much the most versatile bass fishing bait as I'm working it on the bottom, working it on the top, this and this and that. And I thought you guys a new way to catch some fish. Pretty much while bringing one rod to a pond. And that is really the main reason why I only bring one rod to a pond because I'm covering a lot, a lot, a lot of water. Pretty much what I'm doing is I'm just walking and catching. You know, I'm just walking and casting like this. Just like this. You don't see me, I'm not stopping at all. There we go, baby. That fish seemed a lot bigger when I hooked it. I can tell you that. That is a baby guy right there. That is like the stubbyest fish. The aiming at the water, straight 10 pounder. You see that guys? Straight giant. Let me show you guys what I'm throwing. So I'm throwing an actual, it's just a standard old Texas rig. Like I showed you guys in the last video, add a little speed crawl or rage crawl on that Texas rig. Well, today I'm switching it up a little bit and I put a reaction innovation little dipper on there, which is just a baby little swim bait. It's actually one of my favorite baits of all time. Definitely in my top two soft plastics. And I simply Texas rigged it because I'm gonna throw this thing. One, I'm limited on tackle. Two, I'm gonna throw this thing on top, on bottom. Realness thing through this fish, I think you guys can tell it's just super, it's nothing sexy at all. I mean, it's so basic. But when you're pond fishing, I'm telling you, it's just, you don't need all this fancy stuff. People think, oh, they need all this super expensive, you know, tungsten weights and trocar hooks. Listen, and tell you, every time I go pond fishing, I don't even, like I have a lot of expensive tackle, but that's tackle that I'm gonna take on the lake with me. Like I'm not bringing out here on the pond. I just keep it so basic and simple. Today's one of those days where it's super, super tough conditions. I mean, you got zero to no wind on the surface as you go from town and then you got bluebird skies out, which of course is in the best fishing, especially for these pond fish. If I was out on Lake Lanier right now, I could be able to catch them a lot better. But right now I'm telling you, these fish are gonna be a little less arctic, they're not gonna be chasing as much, but I'm still gonna show you that I can go around here and catch those ones I ready to bite. My whole thought process on this is, you know, you're going to fish a pond. In my opinion, I'd go on Google Maps, pick about three to four ponds that hit that day, and you literally just cover the water. Because if you sit at the same one all day, yes, you might be able to catch them. But at the same time, I could hit four ponds and catch those active ones that I really wanted to bite in just the same amount of time and you're covering a lot of water. Right now I'm kind of in the process on figuring out how they want this bait. Pretty much right now, like I said, bluebird skies, these fish are gonna be too active right now, the pressure's a little up. I'm pretty much throwing this bait at the top of the water. Well, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna start switching it up. I'm gonna slow it down, I'm gonna keep it below the surface, see if they want that better, see if that's a little softer presentation so they're especially easy. Throwing it out there. Just like that, first cast, switching it up. As you guys can tell, the same bait is just switching up the technique and figuring out what this fish want today. So bluebird skies are gonna be a little bit slower. Therefore, I stopped reeling it at the top of the water and I was about to show you how it's gonna work that. Let me throw it back out there and I'll show you. You guys are wondering, I know a lot of people are gonna ask this in the comments if I don't say anything about it. I was gonna show you a little lead bullet weight, EWG hook, this little swim bait. This isn't the best rig for this bait, but honestly, I'm telling you, when I go pond fishing and then I have a bobber stop, I saw some people asking what a bobber stop is. It goes on your line, see how your weight can freely move right now? What it does is it goes in front of that weight so it holds that weight there so it can't go anywhere. So I'm keeping it very simple, like this is not the rig I would throw out a lake or I'm just keeping it basic, guys. I feel like people think about it too much. So as I was saying, I'm gonna throw this bait out here, let it hit the water and I'm just gonna stroke my rod up. So what that's doing with that little paddle tail is that bait, one of my rod goes up it shoots up, that tail's fluttering and when it falls, it's going like this. Just simple motion. I'm not even reeling it, I'm just sitting here just dragging my rod. That's how I caught that too. On the first cap. See how much slower I'm really moving this thing? At the top of the water, when I'm reeling that thing fast, especially trying to keep this bait up since it has a weight on it. It's gonna be hard for those fish to catch up to that. Not really, you know, in a way bass are super, I mean, they're super smart, they're super fast. But then again, when the conditions are like this, you gotta adjust to it. We spent too much time here. You see how I've casted about, I fancasted out here, fancasted out there, fancasted out there. See this, in my opinion, is the time that you want to move. Oh, God, he just hammered it. I literally saw him eat it that time. Planned that swim bait right there. My point in these videos is to show you different ways to catch fish that people aren't showing you. Because I feel like everybody gets in the mindset of, you know, you throw a Texas rig on the bottom. Like you do, right? That's what all of us know. Like nobody experiments with new things. That's the thing. Everyone that throws a shaky head, they're known for fishing a shaky head on the bottom with a worm. You know, that doesn't mean you can't throw a little poutail swim bait on that thing and start reeling it like a little swim bait head. Like I feel like people are so close-minded now just because, you know, I talk about throwing shaky head with a worm and that means you pretty much can't throw a swim bait. I'm not saying that at all. That's why I'm making these videos is to pretty much show you guys different ways to fish these baits and to use these baits that other people aren't doing. Because that's the one big trick. I can tell you one thing. Go to a pond that's fished a lot and you're doing the same thing that every single other person is doing every single time he's went there the past eight years. But if you go there and you might not catch him, if you go there with a new technique like what I'm doing now, you might end up whacking him because it's something the fish haven't seen before. Oh man. These little guys are little feisty ones. I can tell you that. Look at that little baby. They're so stubby, so stubby. Let's get a release on this guy. Talking about covering water, moving fast, this and this and that. I'm gonna give you guys one exception. There's a lot of vegetation right here. There's a lot of grass, as you guys can tell out there. All this little nasty stuff out there. That's gonna obviously hold fish, especially on a sunny day like today. They're gonna get up all in that. You got some shade in this corner. This is one point in time where I'm gonna probably switch up how I'm working this bait. Make a ton of casts. I'm not gonna stay here and cast one time over this and say, all right, that's good. Because I know there's a lot of fish in this. But when you guys are fishing open water, and you guys are just covering water in a pond, I mean, I'm telling you, just keep casting. Casting and walking, casting and walking. You hit a good tree that's like 10 foot long, it's laying in the water, it just looks so juicy. There are about five casts at it. Maybe not five, there are about three, depending on how tough it is that day. Fish that tree out, because that's something that the fish are gonna relate to. When you're fishing open water and you're just covering water in a pond, I just keep going. But when you see something good, stop and fish it for a second. I can tell you guys, with this bluebird skies right now, all this little grass, all this stuff right here, and you got the shade back in this pocket, there's gonna be some fish right here. I'm gonna be switching up my presentation, just because of all this grass. What I'm gonna end up doing is I'm gonna throw this on top of it, and really off the top, and see if I can get a bass to come out of that. Especially in this whole shade, calm water in the back. That was insane. That was crazy. He was exactly where I thought he was gonna be too. So, like I was talking about this shade back in this pocket, and it has a little bit of grass. I'm talking right in the back of it, right here. You pretty much have that grass up on the bank, and then you have that water in that little shade. Right when I threw on the edge of that grass, and that shade right there, that's where he was. I'm talking, I didn't even have to move that bait. Right when it hit the water, he was just ready to eat it. Boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen, there we go. It's a little fat one. It's a little beautiful bass. These fish are so tiny in here. This is just perfect for me to teach you guys pretty much where to come out. I don't have anyone bothering me out here, but it's a pretty little guy. That's exactly what I was talking about right here is all this grass, and just reeling that swim bait over the top of it. So there's one thing that I'm looking for. So if you look at all this grass, you can tell it's patchy. You know, you have a lot of patches. Right there, it's kind of, you know, it's kind of filled. There's a lot more grass right there. It's kind of patchy. What I'm doing is I'm throwing that swim bait across there, really knit above the grass, because this fish will actually explode through that grass. I'm having to keep it at a fast pace, just because of the weight on there, and I'm really having to move that bait across through pretty fast. But then again, I'm creating a reaction bite. When I see holes in this grass, I think you can tell that's patchy, but that's very, very thick. Right here is patchy. When I see those holes, I'm reeling it on the top of that grass, and when I see the hole, I drop my bait, I stop reeling it, and then I pop my rod. So what happens is those fish are seeing it kind of work above them, and then right when that bait comes off of that thing, that's when they're gonna slam it. But that's why right when I reel it over that, I just stop reeling, pop my rod, and that fish engulfs it. That's exactly what just happened. Now, I'm gonna back up my word, and I'm gonna do it one more time. So just because I reeled this bait over the top, it does not mean I caught a fish, especially on a day like today. So if I see any little holes with this little Texas rig, I know it's a swim bait, but what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna flip it right in there, flip it right in that hole like that, find those little openings, flip that bait right up in there, it's gonna hop at those tails, they're gonna flutter. God, that was, took my whole swim bait. That was the hardest hit I've had in a minute. I'm telling you guys, that fish right there, absolutely hammered it. It's way out there in the middle of all that. Little patch of isolated grass out there, threw it right in there. I pulled my rod up once and that tail fluttered down, and he just, God, he just hammered it. I really hope that you guys are getting some tips out of this, it's different. You know, because I know the last crawl video, you guys have never seen anything on YouTube like that, and I'm sure you haven't like this either, so that's my main goal here, to teach you guys new things. Right there in the middle. They're actually coming up eating some like dragon flies or something that was hidden in the water. Man, there we go. Little old guy. Oh, that was right when I landed, caught me off guard. Right out there is a little isolated grass out in the middle. Have you ever seen anything isolated out there by itself? Need to throw at it because there's fish on it, 100%. He didn't even, I didn't even have to move it. He already had it. Two of them tried to eat it right there. Well, everyone, that is some more tips on how to catch more bass while pond fishing. I showed you a little bit about, you know, covering water, moving super fast. This is like the number one thing that I believe in, especially when coming to ponds, like going to lakes too, I'm the same way. I'm just a super fast fisherman in general, but I cover a lot of water. Therefore, my bait's gonna be in front of more fish. I really suggest you guys go try that out if you guys are some fisherman that usually, you know, don't move around much, usually fish super slow. I highly suggest you go out there and go try to fish fast one day and just cover a bunch of water and see what it brings you. But today was a tough day as in the conditions. I still got some fish to bite by covering water. I caught like seven in a matter of 20 minutes. So that just shows you, you know, if I was staying here for 20 minutes, I probably wouldn't catch that. And I probably catched probably two or three. That just shows I covered a lot of water, caught more fish. But if you guys want to see more tip videos, be sure to smash that like button.
