It's also getting cold right now guys. Go to goonsquad.com Use my promo go to LFG save on the new hoodies and apparel and don't forget slurping spoon shad wagon They've dropped now. So winter fall fishing lures We're also gonna be using conventional tackle with lures as well as fly over. We're gonna be going over some of the Situations where one is better than the other So without further ado, let's get out there on the water and give them a day Okay, guys. Well to start this day We're just gonna get in the river Oh my We're in there, baby Taking a little stick Checking it twice We're gonna find out if these trout want to play nice Got ourselves a low flow. Oh Yeah, I see them feeding out there already All right starting out with a little It's a little prototype spinner eight ounce Just a little googin googin spinner blade And we have the fly gear We do have it. I've already had one. I got him. Oh my gosh. You're smoking it. I Mean, this is crazy There he is. Oh my gosh. I've gotten five six hits Think we're gonna get our limit with the old With the old in line here That's my goal. I'm gonna get my I want to get my meat With the in line And I want to come back with the fly And I want to I want to get dialed and really knock them down really like this Standard white color in this low light too and they were knocking it around so much They tangled it. I've never actually seen that with an in line Literally knocking it sideways. Oh, yeah boys. Look at that First one on the river this morning beautiful sunrise Kids are still sleeping Got a campfire started for them Daddy's gonna come back a hero three trout. Oh my gosh They're just they're smoking it. There he is. Oh my gosh. That one's tiny I'm gonna let him go Did not want him anyways And I'm using the light The light. I'm actually using the two piece in uh In the gold series Not using the ultra Ultra light, but This is this one's plenty for trout. You gotta have a soft rod because they just gyrate They gyrate so much you got to take your time Oh man, that's just a That's kind of a run in the mill Might as well Might as well put them on Over the years now I'm doing trout fishing. I've got my equipment so much more dialed The biggest thing that I upgraded was the net Going from a fabric net to a rubber net That was a game changer Because I was wasting so much time getting my lures out All right, I think there's a couple more out there for me Uh We're jumping for joy They're jumping for joy. They want to come home with me. Oh my goodness. They're jumping Oh Dude, they're smacking this thing around like it's a hot potato. Look at this golly They come off God They are they are stacked Oh, I do I do not think that I've ever had this many lights On a spinner just Right out of the gate like I'm I'm just going to get slapped right here And I normally have to be very dialed with the retrieve Get it just touch the bottom I've not reeled it in and Haven't had a bite Oh my gosh, look at that guy He done he done loaded up on her Oh, yeah Oh, yeah For shizzle Oh my gosh, you guys I've got someone else's line I caught someone else's line that has a trout Look at this someone broke this fish off Like here's my lure right here Yeah, buddy. I'm sorry. I feel like I I kind of have to keep you So this guy ate some power bait The reason I'm not being particular on the size for keeping is I think they're all going to be about the same really Around that 12 inch mark See if we can knock out a third here. Oh, yeah, I'm already getting slapped I'm not even having to retrieve that slow. Let them do their deal Let them do their deal. I don't know how many May hold off on keeping this one Well, he made that decision He said I'm making the executive decision to get the hell out of here, sir I'm pretty sure if I brought my kids down here, they could catch one this Oh my gosh it's like I think they just stalked them I think they're fired up. This is a little guy Wow Yeah, no, he's like He's real little He's my little cake the tornado Going crazy. There we go. Got him out. All right One more decent size one for the necklace I do like fishing this conventional though Oh, man, dude. I'm getting rocked. It's insane It's insane guys. How many bites I'm getting they're knocking slack in it Look at this This is wild Absolutely just knocking slack. Look, they're jumping right here in front of me. Oh, man They're just all about the same He'll keep He'll eat Yeah, there we go They're a good eater Absolutely crushing them on the spinner Sometimes this is the best method If you're feeling a little nervous Like oh, man, this guy's got a little he's got a little pizzazz. I can't Can't quite handle it because trout I will tell you are very slippery I'll just kind of come in here I'll just kind of come in here With just one of the deals on the stringer In the net I'll just go up through that mouth and go through the gill and I'll just one hand it That way I've got I've got a safety hand or I can pin him I don't even need it now Done deal. He's on there And my net is attached It's attached to a cord, but it's got a magnet and I put it right on the center of my back It was right up on top there I mean this this is just Put the hammer down Wine of grind put the old coffee grinder on them Smack them dude. I mean that guy just Flap jacked me right there. The gyrations in the pole is insane. Look at that right here right here in front of me Probably figure eight one So I've got my I've got my nymphing fly rod On the shoreline and I think that's gonna be Silly because we don't we don't have much flow. Oh my gosh this guy We don't have much flow Might put an indicator on them. I might just go straight line And just get right out in front like this just just do one just do Just do them straight up with a nymph for if you guys don't know what I'm talking about with nymphing. I'll We'll get to it We'll show you You know, sometimes you come you come to these rivers like this that are stocked And uh in some places like the spinners spinners work amazing And other hard lures not just spinners And then in some places that they just the fly crushes them. It really just depends Depends on if you got you got a ton of fly fishermen around What are they seeing? So if you guys are gonna Get into fly fishing for the first time I will tell you another upgrade I'm telling you some of my my learning experiences But one of the big ones was going from a neoprene waiter, you know just Standard kind of waiter. I got water on that lens. I just realized Standard waiter go get it at academy. You know By like a pair every other year whenever I'm Going on a random duck hunt or something It's not the deal Can be done, but it's not the deal You want to get Some waders that are lightweight You can really move around in those neoprenes Very constricting try to step up on a rock or Something like that Not good These are just breathable. So If you're doing this when it's you know 60 70 degrees outside. It's pretty nice Feeling so accomplished already got my three I'm gonna go back get a Coffee this morning. Look at this It's a nightmare where I'm standing right now This is a this is like a A dedicated nymphrod what I really need is to cast out there with an indicator because there's not much current right now This this system would be more like in the current I've got a little Riffle or something and I'm trying to put it in the same spot every time where I know fish are sitting right there This fish are kind of scattered out There's a little bit of current it's not putting them in a one consistent spot So it'd be nice to have a an indicator a bobber just throw out there and let it float around but I'm gonna see uh See what this system will do. We'll play around with it Get forget our stick so we don't Crash into the water This is where it'll happen to Right here at the edge Oh I did fall I did fall but I didn't fall the way in See what happened so many times right there a stick That will tell you if you're about to get really wet It will tell you where the big-ass rocks are that you can trip on and it uh Could save your could save your life could save your buddy's life. Maybe he's hanging in there just barely hanging on he's got a Got an extended stick his way. I'm gonna try a little Little hybrid mop nymph Situation so the whole point of this rod being long and I have a special kind of line on it It's not really good for casting It's more like braid as I would sit here like this with the current the current would be taking my line And I can I'm just watching my line to see the Little moves in it Got him nymphed him up There we go just had to walk out there a little bit Ah a little different fight on the old 10 10 and a half foot fly pole This right here is just this is just for our own enjoyment. We're not gonna eat these There we go a little mop fly dangle remove this stick and then we'll remove this Little fly Look at that little Rub unit see you buddy Never even touched that fish and that one hammered it. So I saw the line flinch Just like you're throwing uh, you know a stick bait weightless stick bait You just see your line kind of twitch with the bass same thing Except usually it's moving The line's moving with the current Literally just staring at the reflection of the fall leaf color Off the glassy river. It's gorgeous It's disrupting my View of my line though There we go Yeah, sir Jump right next to me. That's fun. Oh, I got long poles bend. Isn't that awesome? Mm-hmm. Yeah, it is. Yeah, it is Oh my gosh Just Patty spanking them this morning I think we got to do one more folks We got to do one more of those. I gotta tell you this. I'm not dialed. This is not I'm not on the jams I'm not on the jams right now I'll probably come back and get on the jams I need I need fly line and I need the indicator Come on sun Come on son. I think you're gonna snatch that fly away from me I think so I'm there Little buddy Whoa, we'll do one more We'll do one more Just crazy Crazy action here. There we go barbless Love using those barbless Don't have to mess with them. Yeah That one's a good one to end on Good tugger Good tugger and jumper A little bit a little bit drag There you go. I think this the biggest one biggest one I've had Put you in that buddy. Yeah I don't know Just had a lot of pizzazz gums Moxie Whatever you want to call it that fish had it And that sir Is the fish I'm gonna end on for this morning Flies out and let him go under the waters All right, let's take it back into camp What is it little buddy? You got gloves? You want to give me high five of those gloves? Good one Yeah, daddy's chair This is daddy's chair right here That one's mama's and then the blue one's emmy's That's Ben's that's yours Yeah I have returned with bounty my dear Trouts from the great Great and powerful river systems All natural When I saw you walking up with some try to go he's like he's got dinner already I got dinner. I got I got dinner I mean, they're not very big. They're not very big, but you know Oh, Amy Amy's wanting to say hi What did you say? I said good morning happy campers Good morning happy campers. You know what? I'm really proud of you. Give me a high five because you were thrown up last night And you are coming back strong this morning because you love camping so much And you're fighting through it. You're a tough girl. You know, what do we got right here? We got some bacon We got some stringy bacon What's wrong with that bacon? It's too large for the pan A little bit of a cheat code osg brought Some coffee and we also have an electric coffee machine So we're not doing our we're not having to boil our waters and all that And we got an inverter inside the camper Just heard the inverter kick on And that will start making coffee So we left the house at I think 97 Uh ran the heater all last night and Now we're uh, we're sucking a lot of power out of there. Look at that 60 60 amps right there 60 amps coming out. So 83 charge So with the power upgrades we made on the on the camper I'm gonna say this is uh, this is like a 10 day excursion camper where you could You could go 10 days if you had Okay sun if you had full sun you could really stay out there indefinitely, but if you're powering through Stuff like coffee maker and a heater and you know things to keep the family accoutrema Basically keep the family happy It's about a 10 day camp if it's me I've just got like a bushcraft knife and a satchel Forever stay out here forever the elite gourmet How much was that coffee maker? I think it was 1999 One of the cheapest amazon and you Or so against it. Why do we need to bring a coffee maker? I will tell you we've used that coffee maker every single day He used it as a whole It's still trucking it is We have an espresso maker at home. I enjoy espresso kind of a coffee snob. Anyway Stephanie will take the espresso machine and run Uh a double shot and then just fill it with water And so it's it's wasting a lot of like good espresso not just the taste but also dollars So so I was like, you know what? Why don't you just get you a little coffee machine so you don't have to waste my espresso by filling your cup with water Anyway, she uses it all the time. I even use it Yeah And and now we use it on our camp trips as well. So it's pretty pretty cool, honestly It's in the river mama on the bank. All right guys time to clean our trout. Look at that beautiful site So hopefully you guys have seen me clean trout before. Wow, that is a really big leaf Look at that one guys So sycamore You might be a sycamore. I'm not sure. Let me know in the comments Hopefully you've seen me clean some trout before If you missed the colorado series This time's 10. All right. It just uh, beautiful scenery ended up getting our trout doing some cooking And I showed you guys a knife that uh, I ordered from gentry customs camp knife there I actually ordered two this Is the other one and I've used this a couple of times cleaning deer now. This is a fully custom order And uh, he makes one called I think it's the trekker And I requested he make one similar to the trekker just make it as thin as possible for skinning and also just uh Little skinnier like a little bit long a long more elongated but still have a belly and he did a great job on that knife and I've ever used a clean trout so should be uh pretty surgical Went through those deer like a knife through butter So right behind the head, gotta be really careful with this knife Up through the belly This thing is just a razor Put your index finger in there thumb and that crease And break down That was a male right there. So we'll Throw everything out in the river Something I really love about this knife That I had on on another knife that I requested. Uh, he put on here on the handle It's textured micarta. So it's It's like rocky textured very aggressive. So when you're elbow deep in a deer or in this case I got slippery trout juice on on my hands this thing is Solid in your hand. So if you can order a custom knife I recommend that textured micarta if you're going to get a skinning knife Or just a knife or doing stuff like this Just gives you so much so much grip Let's take my thumb and I press all that All that dark stuff off the spine Give it a good rinse and then throw it in the ziplock So hopefully I put in my uh My vest here. There we go. Not my vest My performance hoodie There we go. Now we'll do the other two And we'll be cooking those up for dinner Trout are prepped We're gonna be cooking them over the campfire tonight, but We're gonna go out again with the proper setup Oh, I see them feeding now. Oh, yeah, I'm up right in front That's always fun Get them out with that barbless Some of the juice It is uh, oh y'all be pretty much pulsated about there. I think I caught over 30 Uh fishing that little it's called a producer But it just looks like a tiny crappie jigsaw. It is with this rod. I'm casting out and I have this indicator Monofilament and then I tied a fluorocarbon leader A 5x liter and then I put that indicator on there which stayed on really nicely I don't even know who makes these they were just kind of randomly in a little tackle shop And I picked some up And that with about a two and a half foot Maybe a three at times uh leader Just whacking them whacking them no biggs no biggs like colorado, but man fun now It's time to enjoy the fruits of this morning's dangle I'm gonna get a fire started and we're gonna do these trout over the coals You know how you know how it is it can't gotta do it over the coals Maybe a coal pop Doesn't get much better than that. So O.S. Do you trying to get a fire started right now? Does it look like it's uh producing that well? It's smoking It's smoking a little bit I'll show you guys how to get a get a fire going quick We're gonna get our camp knife out. We're gonna make some kindling Build it up let the coals settle cook them up. I think it's actually spider web All right, we're gonna we're gonna stick them over here. We're gonna make a little Lincoln log situation Why don't you build the build the rest? Just make like Go side to side now There you go. I'm gonna do this one. Okay. It's nice and long Okay, now we're gonna go like that. Yeah, I know. Yeah, you know, I do licking logs at school. So I know how Me and my buddy mullet man. We were making a bow the other day out of out of bow dark And making some really fine shavings And always save that stuff for fires So take that right there And you're gonna put it all up in the middle Of our little Lincoln log house. Okay Right in the middle there. There you go. Good job If you didn't already have a coal you'd have to get a get a hot coal And you could make a little bird nest out of these shavings And then do it that way You can see the leaves falling Guess what guys? Fire has begun Man catch trout men make fire All right. Now if you missed our colorado vids I show how I did do these tinfoil wraps. The only thing we're missing is a lemon just like colorado, but Uh, they turn out great with or without lemon Cosmo SPG some butter wrap them up in these little boats And our coals have burned down. It's been about I'm going to say 30 minutes or so 30 45 minutes since we got the uh the fire going and we've let it burn down So now the fire is Yeah, it's just some coals and we're going to spread those out with a shovel And we're going to stick our fish in there and let them cook There we go the old camp shovel Just to smooth out all those coals. Those are perfect for cooking right now If you wanted to do the Dutch oven on top of that, that'd be perfecto too I think we're just going to go straight caveman style Wabam And wabam So 12 to 15 minutes right on the coals just flipped them a bunch of times like four or five times Every couple minutes basically Got our fire going again with the coals Looks amazing now it's time to dig in to a fish Usually when that butter is coming out That's the deal And I would I would advise two layers of tin foil if we're going to go direct on the coals I just did one because I was running kind of low And I'm losing my voice guys so Trying to hang in there Oh, yeah, she's ready. Oh, yeah Now I already went ahead and I cooked some skillet potatoes Earlier today that skin just fallen off Skillet taters A little bit of macaroni and cheese in there Can't beat a campfire trout Skillet taters a little bit of bacon in there I mean come on Right by the fire with one of my favorite girls in the world Emery Lauren All right, that thing just flaked off the bone and that's what she looked for eat it with a fork So you can use it to As a tool to get it off the bones Magnifique Amazing guys amazing camp experience too When you're sitting there by the fire, it's always better All right y'all the fam and I are going to shut it down.
