 Welcome back to the channel everybody up here on Lake Erie again where I left you last time was right here at the boat ramp With mr. Jeremy Starks and my boy Matt manager Matt from the Guggen squad Jeremy for everybody that doesn't know He is one of the founders of the bass mafia. We work with those guys We have tackle trays and other products were working on them with some of them are brand new that we have here today What happened yesterday? We went out Had a it was a it was a little tough, but I caught my PB we were filming for the Guggen squad channel You guys need to go check that out. It's linked down below. It was the longest fight I've ever had with a bass species Matt was sitting there like can I put the camera down now? It was just We're going back out. It's it's windy today I have one rod with me and this is the key to today. You cannot use big line You cannot use big rods. You cannot even use big baits up here. It's so disappointing for us Texas I'm using my crappie rod. This is literally what I use for crappie got 10 pound braid six pound fluorocarbon. I don't even know what that's about y'all I'm using a rattling Ned and I've got one of the heavy metal mushroom tungsten Heads on there yesterday All of our rights. We're coming out deep and my PB came out from it was in deep water They just haven't shoved out all to the deeps yet like really postponed gathering The numbers haven't been good, but we're trying to dial these fish in Jeremy. He's a former elite series Bassmaster elite series tear dangler and he's one of you those things as well He has a ton of knowledge been learning a lot from him So I want to share some of his knowledge with you guys today and just go have some fun and catch some Brown beauties Let's do it. So yesterday we went out We were trying to catch fish deep. We're like the big groups aren't out here Well, we know why they weren't me when we launched you can see I mean there's all kind of Older beds, but they're not that old. I mean they look like they've been abandoned it No more than a week. Maybe yeah a week ago. That's just it's one corner We're gonna try mid-depth or really shallow in 10 to 12 and see what happens So the mysteries the mysteries are being revealed right now Jeremy He was like you got to come up here and experience the August bite because we're gonna be moving totally offshore But they had a ton of rain this year and so the spawn was a little late. So we're thinking these fish are actually Gonna be like fresh off the beds still roaming in the shallow so different day different gameplay I'm here to slay bass today. You'll notice something different about that. Oh, yeah, it's coming down Since yesterday to think about why was that literally because of wind when she up the water that way that's insane You guys see that water on there. That's where the water was in today first move We're making just kind of cruise the shoreline and see if there there are any visible bass still on beds We haven't seen any cruisers, but we've seen Extremely fresh beds Like in a matter of days. That is so crazy coming from where I just came from now Needing to find like the first place they're gonna go after they get off the beds That's where we need to go. So it's usually like an intermediary type area for the super deep stuff Let's go find that location First little spot. We're at Jettie area Rolls are here looking for that hard bottom Starks is hooked up first fish of the day. It calls little fish like two founders There he is old drop shot strikes again Yeah, I just did there I got to throw like into the current let it drift back so What about like those rocks and stuff over there is that just too shallow Typically they just Broke me. I need a Texas Radler Okay, time to re-rig Let's play a game see if I can re-rig before Starks gets one on one six ounce heavy metal tungsten shroom head. I really need a quarter ounce, but I Was there any crabs in here no crabs possible Gobi on the line caught a Gobi How did you do that? You're like, I'm just gonna catch a Gobi. You won't say one. This is what all these smallies are eating Now what's cool about them you got to feel it to it has no spines no nothing. That's why fish like Oh, it's just like a hot protein. Yeah, no effort It's like a cookie Well, there you go. That's a Gobi. It looks like a dumb fish. It really does like a dumb fish. Just look at his face Looks like he would say some dumb things Like hey, I'm Gobi His voice Yeah, we tried out deep for a second just to see if if they were out there they ain't out there now We're trying to find that that mid-depth point slick is so massive so huge. Oh, I felt like we were coming up this shore for like 30 minutes it did it's like yeah, we'll be there. Yeah You just pull that little cove over there. We'll be fine. Oh, yeah We'll show you look at it with your Shut up. Oh, yeah, you don't even have to look at the graph because you can just look at the bottom Looks like it's three feet deep There was one there was a fish on it. This is Ned heaven. Oh the Texas rattlers coming out Now this is more my style like I can get down with this I feel a little bit more confident. Yeah dragging out like that 30 foot zone It just feels like a wet sock out there Confidence level high Water's not not that dirty It's not as clear as it could be Looks like we've got some sort of doo-doo hair here. There's one. Oh, yeah, right there. He's just roaming That's a dark one too whipping around. He's whipping around. He's coming. He's coming It's gonna happen. This fish is on a bed in August. Well, I'll sign it, but It's a good fish. There's another one right here Okay, we're done. Isn't that another fish? No, there's it. There's another one right here Only problem is you drop your lure down there You think it's three feet deep and then it shoots off 14 feet to the side. Oh Fish on beds in August Here's another one right here. What the is going on? There's one right here swimming. Yeah, I'm telling you they're they're covered Yeah, this one's cruising though. He's not sticking This one's this one's this one's I look there's two there's two right here Okay, one's a really good one. Oh, he's coming at you Man, that's not me There's some tank of my bobs in here He's on it. He's on it. Just give it a day. Oh, yeah Jerry's Jerry's hooked up on that fish. These are betting fish in August are they not that fish off the bed in August Is that crazy? That's a hundred percent like not maybe there was two of them on that bed So we just got to back off of them a little bit So we've been out there for two days looking for deep fish. We come in here and they're everywhere spawned This is the latest I've ever seen this one. I told you before I'd seen them in July Beautiful Now we know when now we know now we know you can literally see the fresh bed on these boulders. They've fanned it out We have got fish all around us right here. They're in kind of a specific depth zone a little seam. I've had to put on My least favorite technique the drop shot. That just seems to be It's what these fish want. We're seeing them cruising around Like if they see you Pretty much not gonna bite, but if you can see them and they can't see you and cast out to them leave it there Give it a dangle Starting to bite we're in six feet of water about three to six like this a lot. Oh gosh, I just got hammered Go green horn him. I did I did He bumped it and then I was like is he there he was just sitting there with it Yeah, yeah, they're not like mega slurping it got to be on your game with the hook sets I got one on my bait and he's Well, he's like looking at it while it's hung. Oh my god, there's two there's two on this rock Yeah, look at him. Yeah There I got it. I got it. Oh, I think you got it. Oh I think he had it while I was letting line out. It's pulling Come on man Yeah, you got a good one man Dude, is that a drum or smallmouth that's a Smallmouth that's your PB dude. It almost looks like a drum. It's so big. That's a giant. It is a drum Oh my god, I was about to say that's a seven pound smallmouth personal best drum freakin giant smallmouth right there No, that's a smallmouth. I gotta catch that one That was a small mouth. Yeah. Oh, that's a good smally. I'm hooked up. He's coming all the way around. I Can't I sight cast it to him. Oh, dude. It is a good. Yeah. Oh, yeah Oh Man, I'm sorry. I'm sorry you got a seven pound drum thought it was a smallmouth. Oh Here we go. Yeah, this is so cool. We're looking at fish all around us. I just got this one on the drop shot I don't like the one drop shot. This is just key. Look at these guys. They just keep digging keep fighting Do you enjoy that fight man? No No, there was about 30 seconds you did This is insane that there's this many bass that are up here just spawning this this guy's taking me a 360 around the boat Keep going back from the lap. Going up turn another lap, dude You actually psyched this to him, right? I did I saw him. Oh look at the one with it Look at the one right there. There's two of them there. God tankers Look at this action right here y'all. Here we go. Come here, baby I'm literally landing this fish. I'm gonna stick the camera underwater so you guys can see this but Whoo There's that guy right there nice healthy smallmouth coming on the drag and drop a little ox butt blood color and then look at this So here's this fish and then look at these other fish Okay, re-rigging everyone out there. You probably never see me rigging drop shots. So I'm gonna rig one up drag and drop ox blood is the color It's weird clear water color. I've got this rigged on a It's a one-ot stickies Wide gap finesse hook stick it right in the nose Like that that helps it stand up a little better in a quarter ounce little tungsten weight Got him Jerry's hooked up Oh Mississippi minnow I've no doubt there's a five-plus in here somewhere Hooked up Jerry's hooked up sneaky suspicion. It's gonna be a mondo Always coming up if it's not the ugly smallmouth hits a grown one. Okay, but I feel like yeah, I see those those little slow turns, but he's coming up That's a smallmouth. It is. Yeah, it's gonna be a good it is a good one. It's a smallmouth No, it's a drum Is it it's a drum Matt you jinxed me the bronze back drum the bronze back It looks anorexic They just don't fight as hard dude. They're not quite as fun. Yeah, the name drum just sounds terrible Gasper goo and drum two names that just don't ring true spotted another one on a bed It'd be kind of sparse, but I was like, I don't know. I kind of think that's one and then So beautiful and brown Bronze, I mean that's straight up on the bed in august. I mean just completely completely locked That's a decent fish That's a decent dude there. I thought we just had him No, they're bulldogs Nice one beautiful fish That's a good fish. Thank you, sir You're welcome No, look at this y'all. Look at the tiniest of the mouth. I mean that looks like If this is our large mouth that mouth right there, this would be like a 0.75 pound bass They're they're heavier than they look. They're very dense Just hang out there Just hang out that really was crazy and you saw that fish just locked right on Yeah, I was like that's a dark spot And I threw in there and as soon as it went in And just sat there with it never even moved. So I've caught a couple of nice fish so far we just rolled up to another spot that looks similar like in Contour as the last one and uh Within five seconds. We're already seeing fish up shallow. This is why yesterday, you know, we were looking for them deep like why? Why are they not out here? Why just because they're still spawning? So we're just taking our drop shots and we're we're casting we kind of have to see them Back off and then blind cast to them. That's how most of them have been A couple of them have been really dumb like the last one I caught that you just throw it up there and Right away, but there's still a little finicky. They're at the end of their spawn So they've seen a lot of stuff Oh, baby. Yeah God it's good to see one jump There's another one with it Got him. Yep. Yep, right on that boulder. Nice, man. Oh that's your pp. Yes Here, let me grab that camera. Oh gosh. I just had flight too. Oh my god. No, we broke Go go Dang son. Oh, you got thrashed You got thrashed See that was a hundred percent would have been your biggest smallmouth by a lot Yeah, I just want you I want you to know something. Let's just take a look at where this broke at Thanks. Doc's sabotage. Oh wait a sec. Was it at the knot? It was at the knot. I didn't tie that Oh god, there's one right here. Okay, we're in them now. We're in them now boys Yeah, the first time it jumps I was like, oh, that's a four Second time it jumped. I was like, oh That's Scott shoulders Looking at more fish. Are you seeing something? Yep. Good one. We must be on that spot There's like a two pounder just floating around underneath this. Oh, oh god Okay, Goby There's got to be some of this little No, I got it. Hey bud How you doing? Is that a white bass? It's a white bass It is not. It is too a white bass, dude Here's a white bass I'm unstoppable. I'm the white bass king Oh my gosh. Wow, baby. Would you believe it? He's choked it so good. Is there any pliers in here? Just cut it, re-tie Okay, y'all, um, I don't know what it is. I can go anywhere in the world and catch these things That is one of the bigger ones I've caught. That's not a hybrid. That's a straight white bass I'm the king. I'm the king of the white bass. There's just no question You come up here to catch brown fish on a jagooned his body of water and then You start drop shotting and then you catch white bass. It's like they just follow me around I gotta find more of these small white bass. I'm not mad at those white bass. I can catch some more I have a little dirt bait on here And just see what's going on in here Under the graph Oh got him Oh, I'm not. Look at these white bass These are the biggest ones I've ever seen Yes, sir. Here we go Monster Can I get my PB white bass here? Yeah to the other side. Yeah to the other side Yeah Do it. Oh got him. Hang on Oh, yeah, they're all big Yeah Another stud get a little off track for my small man here, but I gotta tell you White bass that's us That's good My life that would kill you so quick look at it wrap like wrap around. Oh my gosh. That's wild. That's some flow All of it head right over the big old falls. So if our motor died right now we would We would die eventually Yeah, eventually we would die over the fall. We'd go over Niagara Falls We are on top of the fall. So if we uh, you know kept drifting You're right. We would have hugged. We'd be airborne Can't go forward I've had enough. This was cringy the engine just died. No, we're not. That's pretty good on that tank Seriously, Jeremy five minutes ago. We would have just ran out of gas after we would have gone there Oh my gosh, we would have been fine. We would have not been fine See, I would have knew it was going to change tanks for seconds. We would have been dead. No, that's all it takes Okay, there's no reason to go back there whatsoever We just came from the death waters it felt like it's literally all the water that falls out of Niagara Falls Concentrated in one narrow section and we were playing a little close to the fire. I felt like Sissy's No, that was real. I don't think anyone is going to understand it like We're what like a mile from where we just were. Yeah And the motor just ran out of gas but switched tanks switched tanks. How come it doesn't do that automatically? Because you're supposed to look at the gauges switched tanks. You're supposed to look at the gauge Before you I was wanting to test it. It's nice to see how far it can really go One needs to know how far it can really go past the empty before it's truly out of gas Okay, anyways I'll call with some little donkers back there So absolutely no reason to go back there. We're gonna try are you saying you'll never go back? I'll never go back there never river water never see you again. I don't want to see water like that I will look at it from that bridge on top of the bridge, but that's about it We had a 350 horsepower motor that wouldn't go any. Oh, that's right. I forgot we have a 350 horsepower pushing 3,500 rpms. We were just sitting there in the current another day on eerie We're really the same spot That I hooked into the donkey yesterday and matt is in for a ride right now. We caught a six and a five here Are you saying pb? I don't want to get too excited. I already lost one like five pounder today Dude, it's just going you're gonna be fighting in this current for a while Yesterday I was able to get my pb matt caught his pb yesterday also, but it wasn't Really what you would think of it wasn't a five plus Jeremy's gonna get on the trolling motor because this is this is something special Bring him up here the front. We're gonna turn and chase him down We were literally about to go in because we had all these fish on beds and they went and then it just like shut down We couldn't find any more spots like that. Usually all the fish are off beds this time of year So we ran up the river tried that we tried some other areas and this was like our last spot This is the air literally the area where I had mine yesterday Oh boy I haven't even seen him yet. It's a mag. Yeah, it's a mag. Oh my gosh This could be a six and a half It's a brown fish. It's a good one. Yeah, it's a good one. It's a good smally And how did that little sucker get in that current and do that? I don't know. He's not quite a five He was pulling like a freaking tank I say we take it. We'll take what we can get. Okay matt I think that's gonna be the day under drag and drop comes through drag and drop came through He has ended the day twice now. That's twice We had we had to get you a fish yesterday to end the day and today you're ending it again I really thought he had a jet. I did too. I thought it was a bit of a powder. He's wicked in here Yeah, I think the current was I mean I'm happy. He's still like he's still three and a half. I'm three and a quarter. I'm happy to see that fish two days to get this guy It's been a minute 275 263 Damn it shouldn't have waited Yeah, why'd we weigh this jeremy? It is time to end the day now on that one. It has just been a grinder An absolute grinder out here to catch these fish. I'm so glad I got to come up here and catch my pb I felt pretty certain that me and matt were going to catch our pbs and that did happen I want to thank jeremy For taking us out and showing us how to fish up here if it was just me and matt I promise you we would have never caught a fish. It is a confusing fishery especially for a you know couple of dudes that are used to throwing at trees and Stuff like that. It's a different ball game, but I will see you guys back in texas on the next dangle. So stay tuned hit the like button subscribe And I will see you on the next one
