 Seen fish not being able to catch them Having this mega imaging is awesome, but then it's frustrating at the same time Welcome back to the channel everybody We are about to dangle so it's gonna be a good day, but I got to do something first Power pole the other day. They sent me a new circuit for the poles So something I figured out was the remote was only working when it was close to the pump itself And I don't have very much experience with power poles. I only had one boat that's had them So I just started started playing around walking around and finally I figured out that that was close So I called them and to see what the problem was How do you have a technical question about my power pole blade and remote? My my anchors only going down when my remote is physically close to the pump And I have two of them. It's just it's just one of them. That's doing that is is there like a Antenna issue or have you had this problem that happened before and I said it's probably your circuit board So they sent me another one rather quickly so Thanks power pole. We're gonna see if this works So that is the pump That off Yes, I need to dig a little bit more in here some sort of little silicone thing I should probably open the box and read some instructions. I'm not a boat mechanic Go back when I used to fish on terror I used to do a lot more boat work myself, but got a little rusty over the years Plus everything's changed inside of boats. How to use your prepaid return shipping label. Oh, I gotta show them the other one I guess All this looks like a little little camping meal Ready to go just warm that up somebody smart built that Or really tiny hands you and I together about to find out how easy this is Never done this before. I have looked up nothing. I literally just called them and they sent me one of these So I'm just gonna try to pull this circuit out At the top might need myself a little screwdriver situation I'm just gonna take the knife and try to pry this other one out Hopefully this thing doesn't blow up on me. So that green thing right there is when I'm taking out Okay, there it goes popped out so here is This we'll call the old one. It's really new. I mean this thing's brand new not working to see if this new circuit board works It's like there's a little silicone packet in there to keep it dry Take the plate off Okay, I don't know that seemed kind of easy Circuaries in let's see Let's see if it works turn the power on. Okay. I worked before sometimes when it was this close. I bet I have to To redesignate the the keys. I'm gonna have to hold this middle one down here Okay, I think it's gonna work now Dual blades in action right here step back Oh, yeah, we're working now We are working baby said it wants to say it a hundred times. There are Just things that happens Happen with boats no matter how new they are we adapted we overcome We're gonna put the little Delio's back on here and this baby's ready to dangle now. We're gonna head up North we're gonna go fish some cold water lakes or a cold water Lake deep Lake Been kind of going to some smaller lakes lately going after a large mouth It's been good, but today I want to try going after some some big water fish The conditions are good. It's not very windy. So it's good to get out on the big lake I'm gonna try fishing some deep water with some blade baits and some spoons Just your typical winter time fishing I did pre-spawn fishing for you guys the other day and that's awesome But I know most of you are still in like really really cold conditions and probably not even close to pre-spawn It's really fun for me, but sometimes you don't learn as much We're gonna stick it to the reel today and we're gonna get out on the big water the tough waters And I might even get a longer Stevie to come help me out a little backup today So let's get up there now that we got our dual poles get to danglin, baby Hey, we're here, baby. This water is down and it is dirty. It is down and dirty looks like absolute chocolate doo-doo to be honest with you for what it should be 100% not what I was thinking and what I was wanting for the stuff we're gonna be fishing so Yikes, I don't really know might have to Maybe do some cranking or something that's gonna attract these fishes attention, but this water should not be brown It should be like greenish and clear It's always an adventurous dangle with me and Lunkers TV Today, I'm sure it'll be no different update for y'all. We just found a couple fish. We've been dangling on I had one on and came off This water's just muddy dust docker your stereotypical gold spoon And just going up and down with it lightly that red caterpillar on my face Come out of my shell here folks I've been around for a few dangles in my day And I think I'm smart enough to know now That it is not good. I mean, I knew right when I put the boat in the water I told you guys tomorrow the water was muddy was not what I was expecting the worst conditions you can fish cold muddy water especially in these conditions where we have to fish vertically and it's Just to keep it right in front of their face because they can't see and they're cold Super tough dangle not the right conditions. We're gonna just pack it Had a lot of encouragement from my friend back here that also forgot his jacket. That's that's my jacket right there But this is not a good idea And I would have to concur It's time to send it send it home. There's somewhere else do something different a warm cup of coffee right now sounds great But in this spot right here many years ago still This holds the record for my biggest smallmouth ever and it was doing this Clearwater spooning Unledges deep about 35 feet of water, but guess what it was clean It's not clean so they can't see it coming up over those rocks and you have to get it just dangling it right and it's not good You ready Rob? Ready you've only been asked me that for the last two hours, so you ready buddy I'm like the little common sense person who's sitting in the back. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you did mark some fish though He marked a rock pile and then we went back and that's where I had my one fish on but You know there wasn't They weren't exactly munching hard Welcome back to a new and misty day now I was so disappointed and the lake y'all wanted to go up there Hoping there was clear water and there was not that's the only thing that helps you out when it's cold Is having that clear water to fish can see so when you pause your bait they're like, oh, that's something I can get I can go I could take my time swim my slow little swim over to the bait and grab it and when it's muddy They can't see it long enough to really make it a Decision with their little brains to go over there and grab that so I'm just I think I'm giving up on On North Texas for bass for a minute. I grew up around here. I've been racking my brain going back in memories I've been thinking about the rains. I've had some of my biggest sacks up here in late February But right now without the clear water I just can't think of a time where I've caught them up here in that cold muddiness this time of year. It just Doesn't happen. I was able to get some hours on the engine, which I'm supposed to be doing So I'm about halfway to breaking in the motor, but today. I thought you know what why not give it a day? I'm gonna try to go after some crappie and some some white bass and I also there's one more thing I wanted to go check out and then I got to get ready to go to Florida today doing a meet-up down there and I want to go check out a bunch of stuff That's going on with MLF and some other things. I'm gonna share with you in another video, but I've got the coffee here Recharged at least it's not cold. It's gonna be drizzly out there, but let's go see. Let's go see if we can Get in some crappies. Maybe some white bass. One of y'all sent me some crappie jigs stuff like that I've been wanting to try out too. So I Want to go give that some time maybe fish under some docks things like that That further do let's get out and mist Let's go try to get some dindin for mama. She's been wanting some fish. So let's go see if we can get some The mist the rain it's upon us heavily Look out in the lake. It's just like nothing What I'm gonna try to do is fish some marinas first Go back and some slips just gonna fish my way kind of through there I Honestly now that I'm out here looks like a good day good conditions to catch big bass, you know, it's not too cold It's just like that misty nastiness. This is usually what big bastard got like nasty days in February March in Texas so I Don't know that might change my mind But for now, I'm I'm focused on the crappies because the waters just not the right color. I don't understand this I don't understand why the water It's so dark. I mean, it's misting right now, but we really haven't had much rain here lately, so Especially on big lake dexelmo where there's hundred there's hundred foot of water, you know I should know that because I studied ecology But I don't know the answers right now. Here's what I'm trying to do Looks like we got some fish on that Little rail system there cables and stuff like that. I'm looking for bait that baits like 20 feet deep I'm gonna be looking on the side imaging to try to see fish up under The docks and just try to try to get a depth on them Actually, that looks like a small Small group of crappie right there, maybe I was trying to get the camera out yesterday Just to show because I there was like a group of bass right at the boat ramp that literally you could see The outline of the bass was crazy But I couldn't figure out how to take a snapshot of it So trying to get to get to know this boat get to know the graphs and everything another thing that might happen I might want to go check out is if the fish are moving Up the river in the white bass crappie do it too, but they'll move up the river channel and they'll spawn Okay, time for some dangle a couple of my little crappie boxes in here and some Tasty selections. Definitely gonna go with something that's gonna stand out Actually like the pink and white combo pretty big fan of that, but Think an electric chicken might be the dealio today. It's muddy water We're gonna put this on our Yampa River trout rod This is the best crappie rod I've ever used and people that have Fish for crappie for for quite a while have told me that this rod is really really good It's just a it's a little pricey. It's like 300 bucks for that combo So it's really really sensitive. So I've got six pound fluoro on here eight ounce Actually, I think this is a sixteenth. That's a sixteenth ounce Little pink head there on one right here. Come on. Hell. I'm not really sure there's a whole lot of man Can be sure of any more in this world Seen fish not being able to catch them Having this mega imaging is awesome But then it's frustrating at the same time you're like gosh dang and I can see my can't freaking catch up I don't know. I tried lighter weights tried going different color Now I'm just gonna change locations I don't know. I mean I felt for sure that was a stack of crappie, but Heck, maybe it was like carp or something. I don't know if I can't get bit by the crappie I may move out and try to catch the white bass look at these fish on the bottom I guess those are like big carp. That's crazy I think it's a little too cold for them to be running up in the river right now But the last time I went over the water looked really good. It looked much clearer than the lake itself So that could be another reason the fish might want to go up there, but it's such a far haul. I Just don't know anymore. I mean, what do I have to do? Man If I can come away with like five or ten white bass and zip lock them up I'll feel good about that at least so and I got I got one of my favorite lures. I got a some of those I just ordered in For just doing a slow up-and-down presentation that these fish like so I might try that out really deep There is no doubt though. You can find them with this unit. You're gonna find some fish You just may not be able to catch me. Oh I might as well try to target a bass for a second Even though this water's you who they're probably not gonna bite either They're dropping this water big time just like The other like how's that same thing white is a good color for for a lot of water conditions, but Since they're not gonna get a whole lot of flash There's not sun white will stand out pretty good. I think we've got ourselves no go here on the bass She's not gonna work out this water is terrible, so I gotta go get some meat Gonna salvage the day here. I still want to try crappies more. I'm gonna go try a few more dock areas But I want to get some white bass in the in the boat. Maybe I can catch one of those those are usually the Most voracious out of the bunch. It's like we already got some fishies on the graph there Go ahead and lock that in place. See what happens. There's a lot of bait out here on this point You can really see my lure good there. You just need to see it in front of some fish It's like they scattered as soon as I drop the trolling motor I'm gonna try to re get on some fish here cuz this This is not the juice huge group of shad right there She's got to be fish on that Oh, there's one Had it just dead steel. Oh Oh That's good. That's a good Going in the pan You are fat now these fish right here Are gonna get ready to spawn here very soon So I'd love to do another video Following them up the river. That's a lot of fun. There's still gonna be some down here munching for right now I've actually caught Croppy on this death stalker lure too. You don't want to do this right here. They don't want that They just like the little a little pump There's a little small Willow blade on the back and let it go all the way to the bottom Roll it up a couple cranks and then jitter it Give it a little jitter. It's my last ditch effort. I could just give me a couple more to put in a taco I'd be fine. I think It's time to put it away and go to sunny, Florida and see how Fishermen are actually catching fish and some warm weather. This is just ridiculous shutter down failure such massive failure I Can't catch anything y'all One white bass in there One one I mean they school up by the hundreds Sometimes today there's only like two or three together at a time. Croppy don't want to buy it Bashers don't want to buy it. Not even the white bass want to buy it. I just don't know anymore losing my mind Gosh, what does it take? What does it take to get a bite out here? I Think this just confirms I need to stay as far away from here as possible until about March That one white bass in there It's going to the pan after all my Hanguish today that one's going in some butter and getting eaten for lunch because it is lunch time Yeah, I'm about to tell OSG to fire me up some butter because I'm gonna put this baby in the grease I haven't even cleaned it yet. I need I need you to fire me up some butter in a skillet We have a fish and I'm gonna eat it for lunch Because it frustrated me so much Yes, I did. I was hungry anyways. I hardly eat anything. I had a couple of Eddie Brays deer sticks That's all I've had today. So we're gonna get ourselves a skillet fire it up get the butter in there I'm gonna clean it real quick now That's gonna finish my day besides going to the airport. I gotta get packed and do all that But I am done fishing for a minute. I guess the good news is I don't have to clean a bunch of fish If I had caught a limit 25, I'd probably be late going to the airport You should go tell your friends That I'm coming for them soon Y'all have probably seen me clean a few fish in my day One thing I usually say is Don't put them on ice let them sit let the meat firm up because they're better that way they are But when the water is 48 degrees You can just throw them right in there and they're delicious. Now. This is a female just like I thought You can already see the sacks. Well, there's our leftover fish You can see the eggs right there getting ready getting fattened up ready to go spawn And we got two fillets just like this. Here's how it's going down turning the frown Up today upside down with a little thing butter in the skillet Do your sizzling thing and then we're gonna put the fish in there Lidely do a little peppering a little bit of salt Let it simmer in that butter and then I'm going to take a fresh bun Brioche I'm gonna put that probably a little butter Just don't have any tomato key Don't even eat tomatoes here at the the healthy chew kitchen. Just won't let that out there Yeah, we got oh do it. We do have avocados. Yeah, great save the day Then we're gonna put some mayonnaise on there Maybe a little special sauce and avocado and that's gonna be our son we each I don't think I've ever done this with a white bass, so I don't know. It's not like a fish sandwich Yeah, oh, yeah Living ever Something we never run out of here Avocados give a little fattiness To our sandwich flipped it. You can never have enough butter that on in there Doesn't take long Five minutes or so in the skillet. I'm one this size. You're good. I had a little cayenne surprise make it Cajun style That might be a little too much. We'll see just about down with the fish. We'll take our bun and sizzle it in the butter Come on work with me now Little butter sizzle get that little extra pepper in there Tasty treat and we're starting to split a little bit shrivel. We're good Brett not as toasties I'd imagine but It's good. It's warmed up Place the fish on the bottom bun beautiful white bass sandwich toasted buttered bun Throw a bit of lettuce on here put some avocado little mayo scrum dilly yum Gosh, I love cooking fish. What bam got to have ourselves taste test now y'all this makes the work Out there actually worth it. I feel like it did something here. It's actually pretty hefty little sandwich check that out beefy Made one a little hard on the cayenne, but it is good. I would have preferred a tomato, but This is good the way it is and it's pretty healthy avocado fresh fish Little bun, but now I feel like I did something today one last big chunk of fish it's gone Taking some fish home and cooking them when I first started this video, but Today I wanted to get a whole mess of crappie didn't work out But at least I got to have myself a delicious white bass fish sandwich And now we got to get packed up and get ready to go to Florida We're doing a meet-up down there going to see some of you guys and We're gonna check on the MLF. So thank y'all for tuning into this vlog If you want to come on down to Florida with me and go ahead and subscribe right here to the channel And I will see you on the next one
