 Man, it's pretty morning. There's one good morning fishing freaks. Yeah Still got my dad got a headlamp on man Woke up slept by the lake last night It was real windy today's fishing experience y'all was sponsored by our friends at Mercury Mercury motors man making those big beautiful engines that scooch your boat across the lake and my pro XS back here It's a scooter. We're gonna head out To an area that I fished on the last video in the evening Where there's some good timber and we're gonna try to get old hog jammer throwing the meat and potatoes stuff y'all We're out of the idle zone that means So if memory serves I Think there's like a roadbed that is in the back of this creek pocket. There's a bunch of timber in here I mean a bunch. Let's just start off with a jig start thumping some stumps I got one bass so far one bass that I've looked at right there between two stumps Come on get you so about ten casts in Got a little deep around ten foot. I feel like Well, I got one bite dropped it. So I'm gonna pick up a jerk bait couple other things roll through here. I'm wondering if There's baitfish that are up high right now. I've seen some Some swirls up top, but if there's some baitfish coming up high then I want to try to run a lure Up in the water column through here Got him Got him Wow, that fish put it up really weird really weird Suspended there for a long time Okay, I guess they want a little something high in the column right now. It's a little guy that's still Sign of life sign of a bite sign of direction to go with your life Dr. Seuss isms out here on the bass scene There we go the scout Just getting her done in the spawn time See you buddy That's a warm-up fish. I was trying to bring it over a limb and not get stuck I was kind of just lifting the rod and then pulled back Never mind the old pullback Good times So I know we're gonna have fish in this timber I'm just wondering, you know, we had that full moon last night Are they on bed like really up shallow in here? That's what I need to figure out Like we've got some shad right here. They're coming up and basically just fishing for the Shadgetters right now There she is There she is like like it's a mondo No, but I'll take you Jerk baits just It's a crusher It really is a crusher speaking of crushers. This This fish has got it three ways to Sunday You know when I first saw this color and the scout I was like, I don't know if I'll ever throw perch But it is a really good color. Honestly here where I am Probably anywhere in the south It's got that green back and a pearl belly little translucent right there within some reflectance but it's just like little perch lines little fire tiger lines, but Honestly, I've caught I've caught fish on them on so many lakes It's one of my my favorite colors in the scout now. I gotta I gotta do it. I got it. I gotta pick it up again y'all three eights ounce Juicy jig cowboy crawl And I got a bandito bug side pincers cut off Split the tails all I'm missing is a little shortrear is there. So this is a casting style jig With a casting style jig. It's really versatile. We'll sit on the bottom Your tails can stick up like that because it's got a flat flat spot on it right there, but it's also I Got a keel right here. So it'll come through cover as well. It'll bounce off cover. It's got a low-profile line tie Good weed guard so you can fish it in heavy stuff like this But also let it sit on the bottom and those root systems and it's not gonna, you know Fall over nearly as much as like a straight-up flipping jig. I was explaining the jig and Literally just gotta buy it Felt tasty Lot of fish in here just a lot of fish in the timber in this lake, but my gosh, are they Dropping the baits a lot I Could be a betting fish Barely picked it up. Oh You got destroyed by that hook set dude Apologize Actually, I didn't rip him up too bad That was nice Fish is in three foot right there. It was just kind of right in front of me and my line was just moving First jig bite y'all you know what that means It's over. I'm done mentally The power pole is down and I'm just dragging this really slow In between stumps as well not just flipping them A lot of times what I find in them in the spawn is The bass will get on those root systems That run out way far away from the tree And if you can get two good-looking trees to good-looking stumps like gosh I'm just blew up right there if you can get two really good-looking ones with good root systems It's excellent place to drag your your bait through but if you can get three call it the trifecta That's oftentimes, you know just like for sure you're gonna eat a bite like if you have three good trees Within five feet of each other and the spawn the root systems down at the bottom or We're gonna intertwine and make a really good spot for a fish to Have a good hard bottom nest and feel protected on all sides Man it's pretty morning. There's one Dropped it swear There's one In a trifecta too in a trifecta three trees Are you spawning? I'm gonna hook it up like one of the last trees Coming in here on the jerk bait Not even a whopper, man Not even a whopper Fat your fat whopper, you know that whole area was like 10 12 foot And uh, you know as soon as I got into like 16 I finally got a got a bite I'm a serious bite. Sorry about to y'all the GoPro took a dumpster on me Not the best of angles but you get the idea That's uh, that's four pounder and I've been waiting to throw this on a Carolina rig for a long time Beautiful fish. I don't know what this is turned into I do I'll just catch them on everything all over the place different bluers different techniques That's a nice one We got a different bait for you here. Oh, this is the bite I wanted to get on jig God, it's so windy So caught one on trench hog on the Carolina This one is on the trench hog Via shaky head There we go That fish has seen some action the old the old burger lip There's a little section of stumps right here About 200 yards from where I was fishing offshore. It's like I'll go in there I got tired of fighting the wind and the wind noise sucks for you guys. I know but I'll let the sky go See my guy Nice three pounder and I was like, yeah, you know, I'll drag this uh This little doodle around. I had a bandito bug on there And I was like, you know, I don't like that color. I'll switch up. I ought to just go with the trench hog because I This combo right here. I'm super confident in now. I'll break out my jig and probably not catch a thing This is what I wanted to do today was throw the different jigs and then some jig alternatives I like that shaky head It's just the bite is a little off And it's just hard with this wind But I'm gonna quit bitching catch one There he is She's got it Yes, I'm gonna like about this as I just say come on in here, baby I made sure that one had it That was on three eighths ounce cowboy craw A little bit smaller black spot on the tail pretty sweet Had to throw it up from the stump there And then drag it by that one That one wasn't Directly in it. It was kind of sitting around it. So that's great There he is Was on The drop of that tree Can't believe that fish let go I can I can That's where that fish wanted to be is on that drop I've had a pretty good day at fishing right now. I've caught them suspended on jerkbaits. I've caught them on crankbaits I've I've caught them on the bottom few bites with the jig You know, I'm through the jig alternatives with the shaky head. Well, this is tied on up there The carolina rig caught one on a lipless like sometimes that's what you got to do That this was not my goal of today's video. My goal was to Target fish that are moving up to spawn and post spawn And hitting those those little in and out areas That they they like to go to around timber I had this thing on my mind and I know some of you have probably gone to bed Thinking like tomorrow. I'm gonna I'm gonna go crush them on a fluke or I know I'm gonna I'm gonna go throw a chatterbait or a crankbait or you know For me, it's a jig like that's what I think about and had I not fished yesterday. I wouldn't have had That notion I would have came in Fresh and maybe you would have figured something else out even I woke up thinking I'm gonna crush them on a jig And I won't catch like seven powder Just hadn't gotten them yet, but I'm kind of being hard on myself. It's a good day of fishing Here's a solid porski This fish ate it sat there. I didn't realize that I pulled up He spit it out. I moved it. He ate it again. That's how much he wanted it and it's just A fatty fatty with a nose jammer Perfect little hook set It's gnarly I've had so many fish pick up the jig and drop it Um, but I haven't had a fish pick this up yet and drop it and that one Well, that one dropped it and picked it up again I would highly recommend this little combo right here And I'll leave a link if you guys want to get these you can use my code lfg at google squad comm Get all of our stuff 10 off. Just you know the extra little It's basically like taking the tax off of it, but Just give you guys a discount. You can use that at at any time you want to And we do on tackle Tuesdays Obviously Tuesday Uh, we usually run some sort of deal on google squad comm So if you check in there You'll find some pretty sweet deals as well on Tuesdays, but anyways, this is uh, we don't make this. This is an owner jig Shaggy head, but it's it's my favorite one that I use I've used a bunch of them and I would go with a two-ot or maybe the three-ot With a creature bait like this and then if you're throwing like a thicker creature bait or going to like, uh, you know a sinko style or I throw our lunker log on here and I use a four-ot or a five-ot and that seems to work pretty good With a five inch. This is this might save the day right here on on the timber bite got some timber behind me I'm gonna go in here. I'm gonna drag this my first cast Nailed one. So just keep going I lost my worm get all of it out get all of it out They've done as soon as they got down there on that wood just towing That one's a little lighter But he's still over three pounds nice fish That's unreal y'all tow a jig all through here and then Pick this up. Yeah, y'all we're gonna shut her down for the day and fight in the wind All day long and it's time to go rest, uh, this body For another dangle another day tomorrow So I'm not sure what I'm gonna do tomorrow. I may go to another lake I may stay here if there's a bad cold front coming in. I need to check the weather I didn't get on the bite that I really wanted to catching just hog hammers on big jigs This is what I wanted to throw right here A and b three quarter ounce juice And a three eighths ounce juice a couple different trailers one for hitting the deep wood Little one's a little bit more aggressive and I did get some bites on the three eighths But you know some dropped it and there's others. I just I knew they're fishing there and they weren't eating it So I went around the lake. I kind of caught fish everywhere a little bit It was like a moderate bite wouldn't say it was explosive by any means And then I came back to the timber later in the day where I knew some fish should be more active Didn't get the bites like I wanted to on the jig but I did pick up the shaky head the little quarter ounce shaky head with that Trench hog the the junior trench hog on there. It's just a fantastic little alternative to pick up more bites I used to fish jigs all the time. I still do. I love fishing jigs, but when I fished them on fork a lot Heavy timber areas that would get pressured. I started switching up to a shaky head And I noticed I would just get a lot more bites and you still catch big fish Especially if you throw a good creature bait a good, you know bulky profile bait on there What I love about the trench hog is it has ribs on it. So it looks bigger than what it is But it's it's thin you get it's like a fishing a finesse worm you get a really good hook set with it I almost never don't get a hook set with this little combo right here and that worms really soft It's thin and it just goes right through them And if you're gonna do a lot of finesse rigging like that shaky heading and stuff Highly recommend doing braid to fluoro combo. I mean, there's really no other way to go But I usually throw 15 or 20 With the braided mainline and then I'll go 12 Maybe 10 sometimes if it's really clear I went with 12 today just because I was trying to get bites, but 15 is usually what I go with If I'm fishing around timber that is going to wrap it up for today y'all no logger heads Showed their faces unfortunately, but we did catch some pretty solid fish.
