 I talked three boats out here right now two of them have zeroed and one of them caught two fish Oh, yeah, the new grind t-shirt is out on my website right now. It's got my logo right here has grind What's going on guys welcome to another video today? I'm actually out on the beautiful Lakeland near and today. I want to kind of just Go back to the basics, you know you guys have been commenting a lot Noah You know I want more tip videos Noah. How do you locate fish? Noah? How do you do this? How do you do that? Well today I'm actually gonna go out on Lakeland area and show you guys how I'm finding these fish show you guys What rods and reels I'm using show you guys what baits I'm using go in-depth on why those fish are there You know how I'm catching them of course. I'm gonna go out here. I'm gonna catch some fish I'm gonna have a little bit of fun because this is my last week That I'm gonna be around Lakeland area before I go back To college, so I am gonna want to you know have a little bit of fun as well But I will be going in-depth on some things with the conditions today very very cloudy You know and that's really good because this fishing could be super tough today, which is good good for the video Because I want to show you guys that you could still catch fish in super super tough conditions and how I Adjust to catch those fish in these tough conditions The reason I'm saying it's tough, you know bluebirds guys. I hate it You know, it's not always the best but for these spotted bass sometimes, you know it had to make a bite With it being super super scattered on how it is if it was just a little bit of cloudy I wouldn't be too concerned with how scattered is right now I might have this fish not tucked in as much as brush pop brush piles and might have more suspended more scattered out around it That's my only concern But rather than that I think should be really good if something crazy happens We can go fish for some largemouth we can adjust it And that's to make this video even better anyways because it'd be showing on how to do that, but let's go ahead get this video started As you know this this past week I was on the near that top water by was on You know, I doubt is on right now. I haven't been looking. I don't really read many things about linear I just go out there See what the fish are doing and I just go about it But I am gonna start off this first spot on top water. You never know You know, I don't know what these fish are doing you got to experiment like say this is a lake I never knew like you just got to experiment with things, you know some some stuff's not gonna work some stuff will and you just just got to try it out and a Adjust to the situation. So I'm gonna start off with this top water. I'm gonna cover a little bit of water where I know There's some structure down there where fish of E on that structure I'm gonna try that right now with this top water I'm gonna cover a little bit of water and then I'll start breaking the water down and figure out what I have to do to catch This fish. Oh my god. Oh my god They might eat top water guys they might eat it that was a really big fish right there I don't know why he didn't get it, but he just didn't Wow, do you have my boat and 45 foot of water throwing up at around 20 foot? I might push up a little bit shallower as this fish will go up the feet in the morning See if we can get one on this top order So guys that top order I'm gonna count off the list for this spot Don't know if you blow up. There's nothing that would really commit now I'm gonna chase a top order with this little duo spin so another moving bait You know the top order very aggressive I'm gonna go to something a little bit more finesse See if I can get a bite on this which I should and if I don't that's what I'm gonna go in with the drop shot and kind of chase This bait up I should get a bite here. Oh God I'll took the rod out. This fish are acting weird this morning. I don't know what it is. I had all these bites I should not commit Usually when there's fish aren't committing like that A quick change in the bait as in like color-wise Usually makes it happen when I was throwing that top order. I was very close to switching to like a bone color Just cuz I was throwing chrome super cloudy outside. I usually prefer bone Real white when it's cloudy when it's sunny. I usually prefer chrome But you I mean I've came out here many a times where it's super cloudy up Throwing a chrome top order out there and they just eat it like a hail it It's one of those things you just gotta experiment with This duo spin, you know, it might Maybe the color they don't like I've never thrown this color out here. This is actually this is actually stuff I had tied on for my national championship in Minnesota. I actually just got back two days ago So I'm just I still got I don't really tied any linear pulls up. I'm still kind of using what I had from there Last cast of this duo spin I'm gonna try some a little bit different this castle. Let's sink Close to the bottom and slowly reel it in I've been slowly rolling in towards the top of the water column mid water column So kind of cover all areas and see what I can do Not a big one, but I'll take him. I guess it's gonna call from bed That is the monkey on my bed. Dang. He literally just demolished my one All right first guy teeny tiny twinkie twinkie look at that twinkie But guess what that's a start. All right, that's a start and we're about to catch a few That's a better one right there guy He's out here pretty deep still small He ain't horrible. Honestly, I ain't a bad fish at all. I Can't complain on that fish at all pretty guy No complaints at all guys. Just two fish. I was almost as if that was like the second drop after that I'm gonna go down and catch another. Oh, it's awesome. That was absolutely awesome I don't know if you guys saw that but this fish right here. Let me get a release That fish right there. I dropped down There all right There was a lot of bait at the top of the water column. There's a few fish chasing the bait Under the bait. There's a few fish in a brush pile. All right. I dropped down. I could feel he going through the brush pile Randomly picked it up and from that point I had to literally pull him out of the brush pile I thought he's gonna get stuck but I still felt his head just shaking like crazy And I just kind of dug him out of there. That was awesome Fish number three. I think we're on a moose spots. I was literally about to build that up in moose spots But I saw that on the graph so I had to drop down. We're in a moose spots We've been fishing here a little bit too long. They keep the ball rolling. Hopefully hooking to some big ones Ain't nothing monstrous, but still very pretty fish. There he is guys top order. Thank you guys first fish on top order today There's no cloud. There's all these clouds. So I switched to a bone color. He actually committed and grabbed it They'll look out their school into my right the boat. They were schooling there Not a horrible fish don't keep on catching So guys to let you know what just happened. I I never fished for largemouth on there. I mean absolutely zero zip not like I just don't Well, I just tied a red crankbait on for some reason just a little crawfish style Dt6 I don't know why somehow usually throwing dirty water on the river But someone's telling me to hit this bank right here with rock and shade and you know There's gonna be a largemouth here. I've caught largemouth around this area before and I was gonna try it I'm not gonna lie like my third cast Saw some in the water brought that crankbait over it and I sucked about four pound largemouth. I lost it I I cannot believe that just happened But maybe we could maybe I can try and catch some largemouth today and just keep this video kind of interesting because I mean that was just my first instinct and like I hooked a big one and he came off But maybe we can duplicate this and maybe find some more stuff Dude, come on man. Here's the ruin in my jar Look at that little twinkie all the same size This one definitely felt like a big one. He was just pulling. He was like he felt different than the other but I don't know I'm trying to catch me a good one this joshua four plus, but it's hard to find them All right guys, here's the fish out in the libel. I had one where you take a cool picture with four of them I accidentally just dropped them in the water, but just right here nothing crazy Pretty little guy What's going on guys? I wanted to talk a little bit about, you know What I was catching this how I was catching this fish while I was catching this fish, you know, um Today was a tough day, you know, I thought we're gonna come out here through a little bit of top water Maybe get them, but you know, my main focus us was that drop shot because It's just so finesse and when the fishing's tough, that's what you need to throw So I went to my first couple of spots. I threw top water got a few bites I threw a little spy bait got a few bites Picked up the drop shot started getting a lot of bites the warm house thermals Like a morning dawn color a pink color worm any like clear water spotted bass smallmouth lake Usually a pink morning dawn worm. Like that's what I use gets it done. Um If I see those fish aren't really committing to that bait And they're not really eating it all the way. I will switch to like a green pumpkin And then after that if they're not eating it all the way, I'll switch to like a shad, uh Like probably like a silverish or a bluish color They're not eating that I would actually switch to like a shad bait instead of a worm You know, I just switch it up so much and figure out what this fish really key in on because I know it sounds crazy But those fish They really do. I mean it really matters that much what color you're throwing what type of bait you're throwing It really matters that much. It's literally results in from two bites to 15 bites I talked three boats out here right now two of them have zeroed And one of them caught two fish And I have a buddy out here right now. I don't know how many he's caught. I haven't talked to him I mean that's how rough it is and I caught roughly 21 fish today It's just you got to figure out what they want not only what they want It's just figuring out how you need to go about it with the nets, you know There's people that are probably zero today They're probably very stubborn and they didn't want to pick up a drop shot or a shaky head or a worm And actually try to catch up a decent amount of fish in the boat. Yes, I didn't get like the best Fish today, you know, I got a lot of smaller ones like two pound range But overall there's people that zeroed I kicked their butt, you know, it's just Just because so finesse and adjusting with the situations. I actually had a crazy thing today happened where I've been in Minnesota for three weeks now. You know, I've been largemouth fishing Um, you know, I adjust to wherever I'm going in largemouth spots smallmouth I actually went to the lax as well caught some smallmouth, you know, I just adjust to what type of fish we're fishing for Largemouth, you know shallow water fish Majority of the time I saw a bank had some good-looking rock have some shade on it, you know, today's 97 degrees. I'm dying It's honestly really hard for me to talk right now. I'm so hot and I'm just trying to get off the lake But uh, I saw the bank and first thing came to my mind. It's like, you know what? I'm pick up I'm tying a little crankbait I'm gonna throw it on that bank for some reason. I was like thing like a little crawfish crankbait I don't know why, you know, that's just usually what I use in dirty water lakes And I like picked it up tied it on second cast. I had like a four pound largemouth on it and he came off and I was like That is just unreal and I went and fished some shallow water stuff Some shallow water docks for a little bit didn't get any more bites But I was just kind of fooling around and went back out deep drop shot some more fish So, you know that works, but overall I just want to show you guys, you know Some ways to break down a lake like to break down on how to catch a fish You know how pull up on that first spot Check my top or check my top water check the top water Switch over to the duo spin started throwing that and then switch over to the drop shot Started dropping down started casting that out started hooking up with some fish Kind of break down the spots that you're fishing by active baits, you know Throwing that active bait moving down to a mediocre bait and then moving down to something very slow To where you can break it down So, you know, if I were to pull up on the spot and fish that top water the whole time and move to the next one I want to cut this fish and on days like this I need to whip out that drop shot and catch them days where I'm catching four pounders on top water I'm just trying to move really quick That's reasonable But today is very tough how to whip out that bait how to break down that water and figure out what this fish We're wanting today The thing you guys so much for watching if you enjoy these type of videos Be sure to smash the thumbs up button.
