 And then literally there's one right behind me. He's still trucking Blustery I think would be the best way to describe Turret conditions. Ah, I got to get the truck my hands are freezing y'all Welcome back everybody to the channel We were traveling today. We're at a truck stop right now. Don't worry. I was just at the check stop I-35 staple, you know me your I-35 tour guide Got the boat hooked up and I just got loaded up on groceries Kalachi's coffee the essentials of Central Texas life with Lunkers TV. He is coming in hot right behind me and we are we're gonna do some dangling Some dual dangling. It's kind of like truck camping. Hopefully we get a place to stay Slash going after fish during the freezing cold conditions. It's gonna be game time You guys might enjoy this format a little bit more this week where Me and Rob have never done this where both of us go out and we're we're together But we're in a different boat, so we're going to be trying to attack the lake in Squadrants, squadrants. That's like quadrants, but Guggen squad version squadrants. I See the old lunker wagon pull it in now You know what warms your hands up the best a nice warm kalachi from the actual Czech bakery I didn't betray you. I only came over to Sváček's because they had More room at the gas pumps. I haven't tried their breakfast one yet. It's my first time trying it I'm not really sure what else is in there, but it did and thank you Do the fishing creek that sent in this custom etched mug take a close-gainer on that one That's saucy Make every cast count and we're going to this week. All right filled up right hit the road Look who's got a gas Let's get it pop Look at this double trouble. We have here the twinks gone through almost three-quarters of a tank of gas Let's cross the bay Let's go bass fishing for a little little green fish Give you so much pleasure We are home y'all love campsites. I really do I love fishing and camping in fact my house the tree house I try to emulate Well, actually some of you already sent in some signs We still got to put them up on the trees around there But like where I back my boat in it. It's meant to look similar to this. I have some treated logs back there I've got trees around I'm gonna have signage that says boat parking So thank you for all your craveness, but that's basically what we're doing here except been such same in the tent We got cabins and it is brisk right now. We're the only people here, so That's probably a bad sign. I have to go put on some more clothing because it's probably gonna be very nipoli Out there. We're gonna rig up some tackle here Get ready for the dangle, but I'm happy with the digs tonight. Yeah. Yeah, that's just just for us three Two two beds three dudes. Yeah, I also have a cot If we need to do that, but if it gets really cold I get Steven So another great thing about this area for all you non Texans that are watching this This is the this is the area of Texas where really the Texas was one conquered you got all of these these cabins are named after these famous famous gentlemen that pioneered Texas Steven F. Austin You've got Sam Houston Davey Crockett all those Alamo greats Washington County this whole area I lived here for about five years. It's great to be back here I love seeing all the live oaks and the cedars and all of the The mountain cedar that that Rob is extremely alert allergic to he's already popped a couple clareton and the one reason I liked fishing down here Was because this time of year I would always still be able to catch fish because it seems like this area and then East Texas The fishing is always better at the beginning of the year than North Texas where I'm really from it's just It's just a different level. They're like a month or two ahead usually and it's just more consistent So that's why we're here now. Let's get some tackle ready It's time for me and Rob to divide and hopefully conquer this like spend a little while Re-rigging some rods put some 18-pound test Floral on there. I was still set up for Mexico fishing. So I had to make some adjustments got Two of the signature series seven two big sexes rigged up I got a chatter bait on one I got a jig on the other and I'm gonna take a look at the water temperature and go from there I also spent quite a bit of time Rigging out some more tackle more crankbaits Lipless crankbaits got more chatter baits and everything like that. Just typical spring-time stuff I'm hoping the water is above 55 out here. I just turned on the electronics already. I'm amazed by the mega imaging I can see the there's tilapia here. You can see the holes that they're in I can see where if there's a fish in there. I would be able to see it That's right, baby, we got good water temps 60 degrees temps are looking like sexual chocolate right now Anything over 55. I'm always happy with I feel like the fish are gonna bite moving lures You don't have to fish just the dead crawl the slowness. I see coots in the grass. It's always a good sign, too We got grass out here. So maybe start out a little shallow grass fishing and can't catch them there Moving out Look here, I think I might have found a big group of shad with some fish on the bottom And we're in It's been a long travel day. This water looks absolutely beautiful Absolutely beautiful Only boat out here today. What is going on? 60 degrees Coming off a full moon these fish Some fish could be spawning right now. What I'm doing right now is trying to find a little bit of grass Don't see any coots here. So they may not be very much But this is basically just a big flat Just kind of slow-rolling this 3 8 ounce chatter bait and the wind is howling My partner's on the other side of the lake Rob is right now or he's right behind me on the other side of this pocket. So I'm really curious to see his report from over there because Last year I had a had a really good streak over by some stumps in there and it's calm on that side So I want to see if those fish have moved up shallow into that area. I have not felt anything I might move a little bit closer to the bank Sure that audio is just a peach Okay, I'm moving back to that out to that deep spot couldn't stand it Putting on a big gold spoon right now and see if I could vertical vertically jig up some of these fish They're moving a little bit But they're in a general area I'm gonna go to my autopilot here my pilot. I'm gonna hit circle Circle the spot never done this before never used a Trolling motor to do this but I just noticed it the other day when I was test test running the boat and that's just incredible It's fish when they're in little packs. They're they look to be pretty close to the bottom There's a little pod of them right there Moving so quick coming to check on Rob because this area he's fishing is a good pre-spawn area It's got a lot of trees. I want to see if they're They're doing anything in here This is a roadbed and then they that's the first spot they stage is where you cast it and then they move up I just needed to come over here and give you a little juice No, I didn't I found some small schools moving around, but I wouldn't I went straight in like it was a baseball It is yeah Fish and jig slow rolled up to another spot out here deep being nasty. I'm having a fish on my knees, but Trying to find some old spots that I had way points on I don't think I'm on the exact juice, but Did find some fish on a big main lake point here Oh God, I just had one just had a fish Trying some deep stuff and It is very hard to fish out there found some stuff. I like fish sitting in the 20 to 25 feet of water. I Wouldn't catch anything. I was getting just for Columbus, so I've come over to a little discharge area ton of deer over here sitting there just Munching away. I don't even care that I'm here the bass we're gonna feed you to Throw in a red lipless crankbait. This is a January, February classic Lure to throw In Texas anyway, I'm gonna try to get up here and get on some rocks Never tried this technique what I'm about to do put it on a structure head Jig I'm gonna take off that front portion like this Just stick it right on top That baby that looks good tons using the event hasn't been fruitful though. I know Rob's fishing that mid-depth to shallow He's caught three Which is good. I mean there's always gonna be fish in that shallow area, but Trying to find the wad. I know there's gonna be wads out here free spawn fish somewhere So what I want to do what I want to get better at is is It's not fishing until I'm really confident using the electronics I think that makes you a super efficient angler when you can do that and know that there's bass there Know that they're positioned right to bite that's key because I found three groups of fish so far Move to the bottom looks like they're gonna bite, but they're not so I need to find the right stuff I'm gonna try winding along a creek channel and see if I can spoon up any fish or maybe throw a heavy jig or something out there but right now no fish First snag of the day is some looks like monofilament line. We'll take this out of the lake Oh, I'm glad I could just come out here and clean the lake up at least That's like cat fishing rig there for sure Throw this in the old Skeeter trash can unit That is so nice having that Simple things I think they want it slow This trench hog actually See just a couple of fish moving through on the graph. It's like a onesie twosies really I'm not finding any Any big wads here, but secondary points main leg points 15 to 22 23 foot of water they all have a few fish this can't get bit in the deeps That gummit Try and hard mark and fish on every spot Can't get him to go trying spoons trying swim baits trying trench hogs I think I'm gonna end the day to shallow. I don't want to not happy about now. I'm just looking for some grass clumps Just using the side imaging here You see a lot of beds tilapia beds there's even fish in them It's crazy Better stop and fish those. God you could see fish in those freaking Look at that. Okay, still gonna work this thing See those big groups of coots out in front of me. Maybe you can't but If you ever see those, you know on a on a lake, that's usually good indicator of Major grass see if we got any fish up by the reeds today Sneed me a little something right here Little something to put a cherry on my day bite out deep is not good Fisher moving around a lot. They're not It's not positioning. Well, there's a mid-depth bite going on hard to do in the wind We could definitely do that tomorrow, but the water looks high And this the reeds look great and there's bait I don't know if that was a fish or not on the outside of these reeds. There's plenty of water on them and the water is clean Looks good. Oh, yeah, that's good grass too. That's the kind of want right there Yep Getting a couple little bites here. Oh my gosh, that was a bass right there right there Okay Got good grass Good bites found some fish some shallow fish Just need to dial in some baits. Oh There's one got it. Oh Little guy. Oh Is he still on? Nope. Yeah. Yeah, he's got it Come here, buddy No, you want to throw it. I just saw a beaver Slapped at it. Why didn't you want to eat it? This is what we needed right here though guys. Oh my gosh. I did. I thought that that fish was gonna come off for sure Super fat that fish is healthy Standard ripping it out of the grass fish right there red lipless crankbait classic tactic. Oh My gosh, that makes me feel so good. Oh my goodness. You guys don't even know I was marking the bait Like the water's clean. I got good grass. It was like everything came together when finally calmed down That's good, I get get a bite on moving bait like that that way I know I can come back here tomorrow And really pick this place apart. Yeah, that's a good sign. Oh And one just hit up there. Oh got another bite. Got him. Got him. Got him. Yes Yes Well, these fish are wanting to jump big time Look at them About the same size. He just came off About 10 to 20 feet out in front of that grass line They're just in that fresh green grass and this time of year. It's important to find that fresh fresh grass If you could find it sometimes it's just got it's got more bait in it holds more oxygen just good all the way around and I Just I have a feeling there's gonna be a lot of fish that size in here like five if I was pre-fishing for a tournament right now, I would definitely This is where I would start. This is kind of a two-day situation video so You guys Definitely gonna want to stay tuned and see what happens on the Mara Right there. Oh, that's a good fish It's a better fish. Oh, we come off Dang that was three pounder. Okay, we're getting somewhere. I'm figuring this thing out. Oh Got him. Oh, dang. He came off Bait's all messed up. There. He's got hooked up better fish. Maybe Running it's gonna be the last cast guys. Oh Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, there we go Good fish right here. Maybe Maybe just hooked weird Kind of pull some drag for a second. Look at these fatties Absolute fat ease and they're not eating it that good Still got him in the boat though. Oh Yeah, my beautiful bass That's not a bad bass right there. That's a good bass The sunset coming through the gills. That's gonna be my last one.
