 Good day and welcome back to the channel everybody man. We got a busy day Spring is arriving. Let me show y'all something right here. This is something my dad always used to tell me when I was growing up It's like son See this tree right here This is a dog tree and when the dogwood tree is blooming that means the bass are biting You need to get out there and get the dangler I don't know if it's gonna be the case this year that they're gonna be spawning right now We're coming off massive cold fronts tons of rain water fluctuating up and down I think By the I'm gonna around March 23rd if any of you are around this north Texas area March 23rd that weekend you better get your rods out and get out there I think that is going to be the first Weekend where we've had about three or four nights that it is close to 50 degrees or above at night And that is going to trigger these fish to spawn. I've got the silver bullet. We're gonna take it out this afternoon I've got some some little finishing touches I've got to add on to it and then I've also Already cut the wood for my workbench I've been wanting to build a workbench for a long time and put my my lure boards up All into the wall. So the workbench is kind of the first step in in Manufacturing all of this stuff and getting more storage for tackle into the garage and this weekend is the Bassmaster Classic y'all That is like really the kickoff. I think that's after the classic everyone gets super charged up So this is my massive collection of wood. I have a wood hoarding problem I think but I've got all these pieces cut for the main frame of of the table Which is going to be going right there and I'm gonna have another seven foot workbench That's a five foot there and then lure boards going up cubbies at the top and some other storage I got a that's one of the main things I need in here is storage because I mean look look what's going on here We needed that Lots of sanding now this table is not going to be that Aesthetically pleasing. I'm really just using that to get work done But I had to put a little sand to it I want to make sure the edges are conforming together nicely And I've got this pine right here mixed with the cedar. So maybe it's a cool look. I don't know But I've got the pocket holes some of the pocket holes and drilled and now we're ready to just assemble it I am doing this until the wind dies down and I think I'm gonna have to get on the water I've got some exciting stuff to show you guys to got got some new new Announcements to make today, so I'm not gonna spend too much time on this Probably be a whole nother, you know part of another blog that I'm doing this time of year I got to try to get pieces of work done here and there because fishing is full board It's not like the winter where I could just work on the stuff and I know the fishing is gonna be terrible It's like it's always on my brain now. Okay a little project here there. Then I got to get out of the water It's just too good Stage one of the number one workbench in the LFG garage is now completed I'm gonna do the tabletop next the other one that I'm gonna build is gonna be two feet longer It's gonna have more tackle storage. This is gonna be more like tool storage and stuff like that But let me know what you think y'all. This is a little bit of pine Little bit of pine mix with cedar We got pocket hole screws in there with a wood glue. It should be fine. It's not extremely heavy This isn't gonna be like an actual woodworking bench. I don't have a level enough garage anyways But that is it then MDF that's down below that's gonna go on top Then I'm gonna put a little Little trim some sort of accent wood on around the edge make it look real nice And these are gonna poke through the top just like my old barnwood table So we'll have a cool look to it, but all this time it has been heating up and it is killing me I gotta get out to the lake y'all. All right. I'm just gonna go straight to the water I've got a ton of other stuff I got to do finally been working all day y'all getting tackle ready doing edits and getting ready for the classic But one thing I did do in the boat Slaps new carpet stickers on there looking good got those on both sides in the back got me some other stickers up here Got Carl's free range and look at this monster GS right there monster do good squad logo up at the front So that's making a statement and we've just got exciting stuff, man I told you guys in an earlier video. I am excited for this year We've spent a lot of work behind the scenes and finally we're getting to put our hands on some of these things And I'm gonna I'm gonna show you I'm gonna show you something here and check it that we've been working on a long time And it's it's gonna be here very very very soon pretty much like launching at the classics Is muddier than doodoo is brown out here. We're gonna give it a whirl anyway. I'm feeling like getting in there Stirring it up with the old chatter Bay Spinner Bay maybe in this dirty water. Hopefully it's warmed up a little bit reading 57 right now. Not terrible And I'm mid-lake so if I go up some of these creeks, it could sniff a 70 or sorry I mean air tip 70 it could sniff a 60 degree which would be phenomenal the last time I was out here. It was literally 48 I want to go try a spot a little ways down the lake see what's going on there See what the water curlers like and then I'm planning on spending my whole rest of the rest of the day Don't have much time in the creek that I'm launching in right now, and I'm gonna go up it I'm gonna get up in there dirty like Hey, it is white caps out there, but I'm excited anytime. I'm getting on the lake in the month of March. Mmm It's exciting times even if the lake sucks Which this one does that's my first spot here. I've actually made about 20 30 casts working my way back through Kind of the mid mid Creek to here now where I really wanted to fish and some of this brush and towards the back and a couple things I've noticed just made a cast and a baitfish flipped then I've got two cormorants back there cormorants are a federally protected species of diving duck. I don't know why they're protected. There's Vagillions of them on every lake you go to but that means that they are eating baitfish and Even though this water is really muddy I'm reading 60 degrees on the unit here And there might be some bait back here and the bass might be following so right now. I've got a three-eighths ounce Shard truce and white chatter bait. That's basically just a a bright white and shard truce Little selection for these fish so they can see it really good chatter bait vibrates really well and There's a there's a deep little little channel that cuts through here. It's nine foot You just never know on days like this, you know, it's a sunny afternoon The water's muddy muddy water is gonna warm up faster than cooler water so they could Just come right on in here and being this muddy stuff in the back of a creek in the afternoon Little baitfish flicking back here They want to be back here Bait is just jumping out of the way right here a little shad Jumping out of the water. Oh my god a bass just ate right there. Oh my god. Did y'all see that a Bass just freaking blew up on a shad right there. Oh My gosh Definitely the baits sitting off the creek channel there. Good idea for a square bill right now All right, I'm gonna go with this little square bill and the next thing I'm gonna do is fish jig So now that we've got out here I've found some fish in the very back of a you who a creek just got to figure out how to catch them While I'm opening up boxes and switching baits and stuff Guys, maybe I heard in my last video partnering with Bass mafia this airplane is extremely loud kind of ready my here hey Southwest peanuts Why by him right there y'all a a clear tray Water-sealed four latch box That's affordable and it's made by Bass mafia for Guggen squad Coming soon to a theater near you guys these come With the inserts already in there, you know, one of the biggest pains is putting those little Plastic inserts in and they're always hard to get you know I'm always breaking them and stuff like that finally figured out how to not break them But anyways, it's water-sealed So you could put all your all your favorite baits in there your good baits That you do not want to rust get water in and latch them up one two three four Storm away. That's the I think that's the only one I have right now So little special one special and don't even have anything in it yet. So new the other thing Not special that all you absolutely backlash my One of my rods my LFG G rod that I use for jigs and spinner baits chatter baits and everything like that It's totally backlash, but the line that is on here Also coming soon guys. Y'all may This little blade coffin box and how I use to store my fluorocarbon lines But a little over a year now. I've been using different kinds of fluorocarbon and mono and testing and We've come up with a few different ones that we really like we're actually gonna have three You might have even seen my spinning rod that I've got orange braid on I've been putting it on all those That was it. That's a testing color for another braid as well. So braid Fluorocarbon, it's a good fluorocarbon guys, and then we also have a mono filament as well So now you guys can go get it and try it out and I know you're gonna like it So really excited about those two things Launching that at the Bassmaster Classic. We're just super excited about it. Just me especially I've been in this industry a long time and just to see all this stuff happening and be a part of it It just feels awesome. So now I want to just grab a fish and sniff it extra good Dang it plane So many planes here. Oh My god, he's right under he's right under it. That is a bass Saw a dark olive back. There's that fish right there. Look at that fish That is a fish on a bed and muddy water Gosh almost looks like a crappie Just so confused as to what as to what's going on. I could I could pretty much grab this fish If I wanted to This is crazy. I got to find out what this is Okay, this fish is right here This is literally right here. It's coming up. I got him. I Got him. It's huge. It's a huge white bass What in the heck? I just slowly got this guy I know they're supposed to be spawning in creeks, but he was just sitting there not moving at all No lure just straight What in the world? That's a male. He looks skinny. He looks like he's been up here. That's crazy That's one of my weirdest catches of the year guys. Oh my gosh. I just slowly netted him Okay, see you buddy It's obviously been a stressful spawn for you been working them dirty shallows grinding and winding All the stuff. Look at that blue herring. Cool Cool, man. It's cool bird gets angry sometimes though. There's training some fishing freaks back here Not much luck on their part either Said a couple little ones Of course, that's always the generic answer, you know a couple little ones Got about 25 pounds. What I have found is what looks like white bass that are running into this creek They don't always have to use the main river channel to spawn You know, they'll actually go up in any creek that has current most the activity. I see it's like mid-level now Is out in the mid middle of the creek like not all the way back here It's a couple degrees colder than the first creek that I found He just freaking knocked slack in the line. I should it was not expecting My god, you're a giant. Oh Guys if you're only gonna get one bite as mine as well be a toad like this everything geez It's bigger than a five-pounder Sunset so beautiful so amazing Spot lock is on this fish has got a lot of power a Lot a lot of power This is all that 15-pound mono that I'm showing you guys earlier so I can put a little heat on this fish. Oh boy Wow up in the shallows coming and warming up today Come here. Come here. Nope. Nope. They're barely hooked Still this fish is running well It's got mass power Come here. Give me that jaw Give me that Jaw y'all Look at that fish in that golden light Goodness grace is almighty God that's beautiful I'll tell you the story on that little bait in here in just a sec.

I told you guys in previous videos like I'm just really excited for this year and Just to be able to go out all the water and test all this stuff It's it's always been a dream of mine to just be a part of stuff like that in the industry Just so blessed and that fish was a blessing golly Tough tough out here, but we're starting to see the signs of big fish starting to move up Couple of more warm days and it is going to be on like don't get cold All right guys, I can't I just got to go in after that.
