Yeah You literally are just doing circles Your rudder is not down Kayak fishing always an added challenge But I enjoy doing it because it's quiet you sneak up on fish Smell the goodness and the quiet natural atmosphere. Okay. Here we go. There he is Come on. There you go. Gosh Are you serious? No, just the jump was one of the best of the year. I Mean he came like five feet out of water On the slim shake guys throwing it weightless up there in the shallows Little finesse on these guys look at him. What a hammer That's a good one Wow wee jeepers. I Got a bite in there. She's still thick for a summer fish I got a bite in there. I felt a little tick. I thought it might have been a bluegill, but I wasn't sure I threw back in there and it don't and then he held on to that bait for like five seconds before I set the hook so That's awesome. We'll get a we'll get a pic of this for the googen baits grams And we'll let him go Alright guy really enjoyed you Thank you so much Get your gills wet Get you ready. What do you think? Oh here you go so we made a little switch we decided to come over to the other side of the lake because Since the last time we were here, it's definitely gone down and that technique right there is basically just a a finesse Technique, you know, you can fish a lot of weightless baits Wacky rig style. This is just called weightless, Texas rig style. It's really important To have a straight worm you could not do this technique unless you have a very straight worm and the awesome thing about Googen baits is that all our baits come in clam packs like this. So when you take them out of the package They're perfectly straight. They're not going to be kinked Because if the tail gets kinked at all or near the head area It's going to make that bait spiral down and that's not what you want If you see this underwater what this bait does is it glides and it's going to do a sharp twitch left and right when you move it It's also got some cool wagging action on the way down, but Throwing a little bit heavier hook like this a heavier gauge like this is an owner Four rot offset worm hook That weight helps give it a little more action to and the rod I'm using is a 6 6 Medium heavy. It's actually a pretty stiff rod. I'd prefer a little bit lighter rod for this right here Just so I can have more action to skip it, but This is just what I had on hand this morning and It's good for this kayak link this. Oh, man another one took it right away. Oh He came off Did not get a good hook set on him. So if you're ever fishing a small Lake or any lake really pond and you've got trees around it like if you look at the other side of the lake here it's Sunny over there still we've probably got an hour left of shade on this side just because of the hill and and the trees and The fish get used to that every day at the birds everything Kind of getting their little rhythms. You know, they don't have eyelids So they're not about to get out there without some rate bands, you know Oh, yeah, just listen to those cicadas It's when you know, it's gonna be a hot one. Anyway, I'm liking the shade right here I think this is a good move coming to this end of the lake. So we're both gonna explore it now. Oh There's a bite hang on to it Gotcha We will oh my gosh almost jumped in the boat. I don't let him take it Underneath trees. I mean it's just It's the deal because there's always stuff falling off of there. Oh, there's another bite He let it go that's always falling off of there and fish are coming and getting it and there's there's bluegill There's all sorts of stuff. So I wouldn't recommend throwing straight 30 pound braid unless you're in really muddy water, but Normally I'd throw this on like 10 pound fluoro Go pro start recording Go pro make me a sandwich, please Be a big it doesn't feel big. Oh But I'll take you go pro. Thank you for the fish. Thank you, buddy I was talking to my GoPro. We were having a little moment there. I did ask for a fish earlier, so It it actually worked. That is a nice little fish there Little two-pounder We'll let him go Having to finesse him a little bit The one thing I'll tell you guys when you're throwing these weightless worms like this Many of times you're not even gonna feel the bite the good thing is they hang on to it for a long time because different than a Texas rig They don't have feel that weight hanging out of their mouth So it really feels natural subtle to them when you're throwing a Texas rig or a jig You're feeling that weight hit the back of the fish's mouth and it's like a And you don't usually feel that with this so you got to pay attention to your line See if it's moving. Actually, I'm using bright pink line today, which is a little off the normal kilter of What I use, but I just happened to have some laying around I put it on for for cat fishing literally I could see it move pretty good. So but I'm fishing clear water. I'm gonna tie a leader on this hundred percent I'm doing this technique So another fish coming in the shade. I'm shallow subtle summer presentation I Love the smell of our baits guys. We've really spent a lot of time on this and Man, I'm not just proud of the smell. I'm proud of everything about it But I just love the way everything came out on these baits and I know everyone's been reviewing them online and everything already and I've had really great reviews and people love them and it's just exciting man. I mean me personally I don't even have that many of them Because we're still waiting on more to come in. It's just a really cool feeling to catch fish on a worm that you designed You know, this is actually Rob's worm right now and I'm using Can't believe it can't believe I'm catching fish on it Actually works. You guys probably can't see But there's like a green Film on top of the water looks to be an algae bloom those happen a lot of times in the summer and Still lakes and ponds and parts of lakes that don't get a whole lot of wind and this is the back of a pocket So it's not really good You know, don't really want to see that. Wow one just ate on that rock back there Definitely heard him when it's dead still like this and you're throwing a weightless bait. It is Really easy. There's a bite all the way in the back Really easy to see the bite That was cool. He was in the dirt. Oh Man, that was almost like a frogfish back there Come here buddy You guys probably saw how hard that strike was so easy to see When you're using that that line and super super calm That fish was all the way back there. Look at that green slime that algae Okay time for another worm dangle that's why I brought this rod right there Don't think that was a fish actually but I got excited. Oh, there he is biting it That's a tiny one. It's not some fish There's got to be more in there That is a healthy little fish though. I tell you How thick that little dude's back is It's huge dude Freaking a huge one, bro Yes Hit it right at the bank. Oh my gosh, dude. It's Gigantic. I think it could be a double bro Staying down. Oh my gosh. He came off Don't tell Rob, but that was a tiny one. Well, that's how I'm gonna end my day. It's about 12 inches Oh my I Am stuck boy. I Know what I need to do. I need to get my right foot wet, but I don't want to I'm too old man. I got to go in My younger days I would have I would have tried to use that crotch power, but it's just not there anymore Had a little fun there at the end in with a 12-inch or Rob thought it was a giant for a minute. It was kind of funny We got to put the yaks up on this thing not just one but two You don't want them falling off on the streets if you guys want to know a funny story about that I had a I had something fall off on the road one time and it hit a pedestrian and it was a bad deal I can tell you that in another story. Let me know in the comments. Hey, fun day, Rob How many did you catch you think yeah? Yeah, I probably had like eight or so. I mean not about summer morning I mean, it's what nine. No, it's 10. Oh nine. We're done done ski So I just want to show you guys this one little thing because I know it really will help you catch fish I'm down to my last Guggen bait out here today when you go with the weightless Texas rigging technique and it's important to use the right hook so you get the good fall rate This one is a four-ot offset worm hook and it's a it's an owner. It's a heavy gauge Hook so it's got a little bit more weight to it. I go through the nose like that come through down Twist always pinch your worm up like this Very very important to get that worm straight and then pull down So that worm is totally totally straight and what ends up happening with that Do you get a cool glide effect if you twitch it? It's gonna go Off to the side and then it has a nice little shimmy fall shake And you can go through the thickest of cover with this fish it right over the grass You can go through tree limbs bushes all that kind of stuff you could skip it up under docks That's why I threw it on the spinning gear so I could skip it up under not docks was but I was fishing Bushes and trees so I knew there were some bushes and trees out there There wasn't as much water on there as I hoped but that was how I got some of my bites was taking the spinning rod and Then pitching it. This is a 6-6 medium heavy I'd say that's a little stiff for doing this to actually skip I was able to do it a medium would be better If you use braid especially you'll be able to get a good hook set that is a great setup for when it's really hot Stagnant you still want to shallow fish if you've got overhanging trees bugs and bluegill and all sorts of little fish Hang around under those trees. So you skip this up under there. It looks like something fell out of the tree nice glide and then They grab make sure to go ahead and hit the like button for today's video getting out there doing some exploration I need to go fix my AC so I got to go tend to those things but guys.
