I hope you guys enjoyed this video. We're gonna hop right into it more pond hopping episodes coming this week from Florida If you guys have any video suggestions, please leave them in the comments down below because I'm always looking for something new to film I hope you guys enjoy this one. Let's go ahead and hop right into it All right, y'all we just got out to the first little spot that we're gonna hit beautiful day outside Just a little bit of clouds in the sky almost blue bird skies, but we got a man Robbie This today, it's been a second dog. Oh man. I'm back in business. Yeah, so I'm gonna start off with a chatter bait He's throwing a rattle trap and we're gonna see what we can do. You know, we have this big cold front roll in the last few days But Yesterday and today it's been a lot warmer. So I think it's like 68 degrees right now We are down in Florida. I'm ready to do some Florida fishing So I came down here and I'm gonna try to hop around and do a bunch of different fish and I hit up Robbie And I was like, hey man, let's uh Let's go do some fishing. So we're gonna see if we can get on some big ones here this afternoon We're only be fishing for a few hours until dark But uh, yeah, I'll catch back up with you guys with the big fish You're into those black and blue chatter baits, aren't you? For some reason in Florida I feel like that black and blue works better Oh Dude, I'm talking when I mean a bite bro Like yeah, I've had a bite like that and He never ate it though. He just slammed it one hard time. Yeah, you didn't load up on him He was on that seawall. You know what's crazy is when I threw up there. I was thinking in my head I'm like, I wonder if some of them fish have pulled up on that seawall and sure enough he hit it Yeah, I'm gonna beam back up. He was all the way. He's probably like three foot off of it Right to the left of me like three foot That bite that wasn't no 34 pounder that was I had to have been a A big girl So I'm just hit the water over here Yeah, you see that right there a little swirl All right guys, we've been fishing about 45 minutes Or obviously had a few bites on that trap like just them slapping them I had that one really good bite on the chatter dawn But that's about it. You know after that cold front That tends to happen. Those fish get a little weird You know, you usually get just as many bites, but sometimes they don't want to commit and they kind of just want to play with it That's kind of what we're seeing right now I'm hoping we're gonna end up getting on some here in a little bit Especially as the sun starts to go down here in a little bit I think that might be the time that these fish might fire up Like I said, the weather's just been so inconsistent in this last month. The fishing's been just brutal Even here in florida and I'm not from florida I don't live in florida either, but I was coming down to try to get into some good fishing But these cold fronts mess up these fish over here too pretty good Look at that right there Some bait popping. That's the second time I've seen some bait popping out here Dude, I just got Hammered right there. Did you? Absolutely nothing. Yeah But I'm gonna try it. I'm gonna tie on that worm Guys, I think I'm gonna cut off this Chatter bait and that's how that one bite that's about it And I brought my worm I only have one worm so If this thing breaks off, I mean that's all we got but let me see. Where's it at? It's a little texas rig. I got my weight in my pocket somewhere This little tiny canal that we're in right now just looks really good for something slow So I think this would be the time to try a slow moving bait if there is a time for it So I'm put our little tiny bullet weight up on right here. It's got a three-eyed extra wide gap hook with a watermelon red Sanko That's kind of the game plan here A little bit of rock and a little bit of trees and also some of these seawalls I'm gonna flip up on and work this thing like ultra slow Let's see if this fish are actually here. They're just not biting I hope we can get something started guys. We just haven't you know, if we can just get one fish Kind of get that momentum going We just haven't really had any bites to where we could actually capitalize There just has to be one on that wall. I think at least a small one Dude, what in the world is that? Worst cast in my life. Yeah, I remember that. Yeah, that was a good hit, bro Dude monster look at that one Look how big he is He ain't eight, but he's I don't know. Yeah. He's just a stubby dude. That's five five There we go, baby Salt his bite, bro. Oh, I know a little tiny chick. Look at that, man Easily five. Let's put him on the scale. Let's get it. Yeah, that's a five pounder. He ain't sick. Look at his belly Oh, baby, you know what sucks? He kind of messed up my worm The only one I know I wasn't playing on thrown it. I really wasn't There we go five five five five about five and a quarter Look at that, baby Dude, that is a tank He's just got that belly on him. He's honestly a short fish, but he's just stubby There we go y'all first fish of the day Five what was it five five five six Really fat dude just beautiful fish. We're gonna get her back in the water But that's exactly what we want to catch switch up to that sanco. It's just the slightest bite. We got her on the bank Yeah, it's a large amount It's a pretty one, ain't it? Yeah. Yeah. You having a good day? That's sweet. Yeah Yeah, we'll get him back in the water. That's that's what it's about, man. Come on Robbie. Let's get it, dude There she goes Let's go brother. That was good. We waited a while and like he had a few bites on the trap I had that one on the chatter bait had to switch up We made it happen. So let's see if we can duplicate it now and get another fish So guys, I ended up ripping my worm. This is the only worm I have so I'm gonna bite a little tip off Just like that. Look at this boys. I'm putting it in my pocket I'm gonna try not to litter and we're gonna still rig this worm up I'm just hoping they don't take any more of this because if they do I'm gonna be in some trouble But the start off the video With a five and a quarter is a good sign Especially since we just switched up to this worm. I'm gonna be honest with y'all We were fishing for about an hour and a half And we had a few bites, but they just weren't They weren't like grabbing it. So you know switching up to this worm had that light bite And he just started walking off with it. So maybe we can get a few more on the bank And maybe we can get one that's even bigger It's a big one Watch this. I'm gonna see if I can catch it. Yeah reel up to him. Dude, he's right there Get him Rob. Robby's about to smack one. Watch this. He's gonna get it You got you? Yeah, buddy Dude, that's dope That's like what two and a half three pounder two and a half pounder. That's probably three pounds. Yeah. Yeah Dude, that's sweet. You spotted them right there What's up? Look at that Dude, that's legit. Yo, give me some. Yeah No, that's cool We got him. Look at that worm in his mouth So we just went back to Robby's truck I ended up grabbing some more of these sankos and then he ended up putting like a little black trick wearing him on And we were just walking in this new spot and he happened to see one Just sitting there and sure enough he ate it Good thing. He wasn't finicky, you know, he he as soon as he saw these went right up on it Yeah, that fished about almost three pounds. I'll put them on the scale real quick. Let's see So let's guess this is what I usually do. What do you think I'm thinking and I'm gonna say I'll hide two. Okay. I agree. Like two I don't know, bro. I'm gonna think two seven seven two seven. Yeah, I think he might be a little he I thought he was a little fatter Two eight two eight two and a half. Well, you got your first one. We both got it's funny because I literally I walked down I was like, oh, there goes a bench right there. He wasn't finicky at all. So yeah, there's definitely gonna be some more Dude, I mean if there's more if this one's right here, there's gonna be more. Yeah. Good job, man We're just gonna kind of walk around. I'm gonna pay attention and also just make some fan casts And some of these little hot spots and on the edge of the grass like even these little corners and divots in the bank Let's see if we can catch some more now. We both got one on the bank today. So That's all we really needed to get some momentum Do you have one that's that's for like crankbait right like crankbaits? No, so that's that's the thing with these we only came out with a seven foot medium heavy But but I mean that's why we did that So you can throw a worm on it You can honestly throw a jig on it spinnerbait chatterbait crankbait lipless That right there to me is like the all around you can throw anything out, you know what I'm saying All right Oh gosh, what is that dude? There's no way that was a fish, right? That was a boil and a half. Dude. Look at that Robbie No, right there. I'm so mad about that I spooked them got about an hour. I'd say a daylight. So we're really gonna try to grind this out Really catch what we can You know, I have seen some movement here, you know, he caught that one at the beginning of this little canal here I'm just hoping we end up getting on some oh, there's a there's a dead tilapia right there If you guys can see that See, I don't know if that's a bass or a carp or a tilapia. It could be really anything They're so finicky like I can't see them, but they supposedly can see me Don't move bird. Please don't move on Stand still All right, y'all Robbie just saw a few on bed That's crazy Right here in february That's why you gotta love florida the trick to this is to not walk up on these fish like if that's really what's happening right now We don't want to walk up on these fish So guys we are Back where we started so but when we started we were over there And I had that bite on that chatter dawn And now that we saw this fish on bed I'm telling you that bass was on bed on the seawall. So we're playing really stealthy here I'm gonna see if I can catch this fish. I know there's one on bed Because the way that he hit me and the fact that he wouldn't hit it again I think I think he was on bed Still throwing that sanko just literally casting it down here nice and easy about two to three foot off this The reason I'm throwing off is because there's a little bit of grass on the edge Oh Robbie Oh, it wasn't a big one. That's that might be like a male. Dude. There could be a female up there I don't know if they're up there like that, but could be could be I'm telling you that bite I had I I don't know man. I don't know shut off It might be a female. All right. I'm gonna put this one over here, bro over here I want to speak One I want to spook it in too if there's a female up there All right, this is that natural Hand wipes right here boys. Did you really get nothing? All right, we might we might get on them here, dude Yeah, they're on the seawall bro. We just got capitalized here. All right guys. We're coming To the end of the day Man, it's been a little tough, but we can't complain of what we got I'm probably gonna end up fishing tomorrow morning to add to this unless we just go on a sleigh sesh, which I just About done All right, y'all I'm gonna catch you guys tomorrow morning. All right y'all next day Yesterday was tough as can be we're actually at a new pond today that I haven't fished in a very long time It's probably been like two years I've caught a lot of fish here in the past and to be honest is looking a lot more saucy Than it used to be so i'm hoping to catch some really good fish today. There's some good ones in here Um, I came out here one day and ended up smoking them, but you know, I'm not really expecting that today I know it's been a little tough So, you know, if we go ahead and come out here and catch three or four fish I'm gonna be happy So we're gonna go ahead and start covering some water guys. I'm gonna oh my god Wait, wait Wait a minute I want to say that that was a bluegill a really large bluegill Probably what that was but we're starting off for the sanco Again, we're gonna check this around a bit. I got a few baits in my pocket if we need to switch up Like I got a fluke and I also have a chatter dong So we're gonna get started with the worm though see what we can do today I really love the activity this morning. Like I see a bunch of birds around so One thing I pay attention to when I go fishing especially on a tough day Is I pay attention to the nature around me like if you see the birds a little more active today You know the birds flying around you got some of the ducks and the geese in the pond That's usually a good sign. You know the nature in wildlife is more active today So let's go ahead and get started guys and see if we can put some fish on the bank No swimming, okay I guess we can fish here guys. Am I correct or am I correct? Just because I want to cover water see if we can catch some of them active fish We're going to cut off the sanco and tie on a chatter donk which I have in this bag There we go Now this is the chatter donk that we're going to throw this little white one It's the one I threw on yesterday a good bit actually see some fish chasing some bait or I don't see fish chasing They'll see bait popping Well guys, this is not happening. We're gonna go to a new spot I've fished this whole pond except for this little tiny corner Just the whole thing and haven't haven't even had one nibble Like I said, I haven't fished in two years. I don't really think it's worth it Let's hit another spot All right y'all pond number two of the day Let's see who we can get rocking first fish of the day guys not a big one, but I'll watch them come up and eat that thing Let's go dude. We're only here for probably three or four minutes We've got our first fish of the day on the chatter donk. Let's go, baby This is one of the spots I usually don't catch a ton at too. So that's a good sign Heck yeah Throw him back in the water real quick. Let's get back after it Maybe we'll get into a few big ones. I know they're in here like I think I've caught two fish over four in here before So they're definitely some good fish in this pond. That's how we need to that's how we're gonna need to catch them right there Oh, man, I just figured something out Boom not a big one, but look how he ate it It barely even felt like a bite. He just loaded up on it, but I had him bite it right before that Another small one, but heck dude. We got two fish on the bank already So the crazy part about that guys is I was actually going to be my last cast So I wanted to make that cast to try this. So what I did is I know it's a little deeper out there. So I thought one had me on the fall So I know it's a little bit deeper out there. So I'll let it sink on the bottom I'm just slow reeling it Sure enough. He slammed it. This is the nicest little thing I've ever seen. This is made out of tile. What in the world? interesting So we were just fishing that other corner. I just walked through this corner We're gonna do the same concept and try to duplicate What I did on that last fish let this thing sink to the bottom. It's got a decent bit of depth out here It's probably got about seven foot We're just gonna slow reel this bait give us some pops every once in a while Sometimes when you pop that that's when they load up on this dog is about to start chomping at me I feel like Please don't do it. There's just two of them staring at one of them sniffing the other one's butt. Oh my god. He's humping the dog right now What did I just witness kids close your eyes? Oh chill Chill out dude stop it, bro Put that thing in your pants I'm getting out of here, man. They're right in the middle That's where they're stacked up I know exactly what to do now guys like even how to work it The fish are not big like fish can fly back in buddy There he goes. All right Literally right in the middle like just like so what we have you see this flat bank right here It's the same way on the other side of the pond and what happens are both these sides of the banks are flat And then it tends to drop off because this pond's got a pretty heavy drop off and it creates a bull Just like this down in the middle And I guess you could really call that a little ditch and that's exactly where those bass are sitting We're throwing this chatter bait We're letting it sink all the way to the bottom And i'm just slow reeling this thing on the bottom and that's when they're picking it up But I figured something out on that fish I was really paying attention to what I was doing right before he did it And I was kind of just popping my bait and letting that blade just wobble and hit the bottom And that's exactly when he picked it up. So We're gonna kind of We're gonna try to duplicate this. I know there's some big ones in here guys I know we we've been hooking small ones right here just a little one pounders But I would not be surprised if we just hook into an eight pound onk like I really it really wouldn't Surprise me these Florida ponds. You never know what's in here Oh We are on something right here, let me tell you That that bait just sank to the bottom. I just started moving that that was a bite To the other ones just kind of load up on it. That was a freaking bite I might have been a bigger one, but I really don't know Give me a spanking. Oh, he did give me a spanking. Look, he took my dang That's my only swim bait I got Hey, buddy You don't let me pet you No All right, you ain't scared like them other ones. I got some respect on your name boy What does that mean? What is that ugly son of a gun? Let me tell you. Yo I was just playing bro. I dig your hair dude. Are you looking at me like that, bro? I mean it's low key freaking me out See you later, buddy Oh my god, there's a fish in front of me bro. He brought the back up. He's putting in reverse Oh no, he spooked I couldn't reel my bait in fast enough to get to him He saw me and I saw him and he started putting that thing in reverse and he barely was backing up He knew what was about to go down Oh, that was a bite. Yep Hey, that's a bigger one boys No, it's not I mean, he might be bigger than the ones we caught, but Dude, these bites are so soft guys. You don't even feel them bite. You're just filming like I kind of load up on it It's really odd Okay, he's definitely fatter, but What happened to these dang fish are there not no big ones in here no more I'm listen. I'm completely fine like fishing been so tough recently guys like anything we catch is a lot of fun to me I'm gonna catch one this cast I ain't giving him an option That's bigger actually Bigger than way bigger than other ones. He ain't a big but he's way bigger. I'm about to say that one got some size to him Told you I ain't giving him no option. I'm just gonna skirt him in mm-hmm I'm about twice as big as the mother ones, but he's still about a pound and a half Guys, all I gotta say We're freaking catching. So if you guys are enjoying the video thus far Hit that dang like button. I know we ain't catching any big ones But we're having some fun and we're putting smackdown on these bats and what's even cooler about this. It's not like We're just running into these fish We actually figured them out We figured out the bait that they wanted we figured out how to retreat it and we figured out where to position The bait to get the bites and that was really cool. So hit the like button for that if you guys enjoyed this video Hit the subscribe button. I think I'm going to close this one off I'm actually going to go try to film another one here today at some different ponds for some really big bass So stay tuned for the more content coming up on the channel.
