 Gobble, gobble fish and freaks. Welcome back to the channel and welcome back to outdoor greatness. It is early morning, turkeys are off the roost and we're right back here where I left you all. I heard turkey when we were signing off on the last video and now there are turkeys just all over the place over here. So just to update you, the last few days I've been fishing with John, me and John B. We're filming some Guggen Squad videos. It's been pretty technical this week. There's been a lot less like just crazy, you know, survival, catch and cook videos, stuff like that. More just technical fishing because the fishing has been good and we've been trying to figure these bass out here. We don't have very much experience on the lake so it's been really fun. The cabin is up there. It's like an 80-yard walk down to the water but it's beautiful and then we've got this cliff over here and the turkeys have been roosting on top of there and there's even odd dads that we've seen like every day just walking around and then there's bass swimming around the lake. So anyway, it's just been awesome. Just walking down to the boat any day. I can walk down to the water, get in my boat and go fishing. It's a great day. But I think John said he was gonna cook some breakfast this morning before we get out there. So let's go see what he's cooking up in the kitchen. John Bizzle in the kitchen. Wippin' it up. Dude, this looks great. Thanks man, you've been doing dinner so I figured I'd do breakfast. So what do we got going here? A little bacon? Bacon. Elk. I was gonna take the less leftover elk and mix it in with the scrambled eggs. So, it's a heavy protein diet breakfast this morning. We've really had nothing green since we've been here. It's been straight meat. We're gonna eat good, feel good, fish good y'all. We've got a lot of fish but just haven't caught the one. You know what I'm saying? Like the big one. I've had one about five pounds. A little over possibly. But there's definitely some big fish in here. Buddy of mine called me and he had a friend that caught one over 10 here a couple days ago. So there's some giants. The fishing's good all over. It's just trying to figure out whatever you want to do and then also figure out look at the shad right here. We've seen this a lot too. The shad is like shimmering at the surface. We've seen some bass come up and pop those things. So before we make our first cast I'll just let y'all know I'll link a few channels down below. I'll link the catch go channel because we gave some really good tips over there. I'll link the Guggen Squad channel because we had some really cool things happening and some more tips over there more than usual. And also John's channel because we're going to be fishing two different parts of the lake today. We're going to be communicating but just trying to explore some new waters and you know me and John fish a little bit differently. It's always good to watch as many anglers as you can to just view you know different things. You'll pick up on little things from everybody so we'll be linked down below as well. Now's the time to be soaking up all this information with the corona situation. Yeah I'll leave. I know that's what I would be doing if I wasn't out here. I'd be sitting in the house learning. All right y'all starting y'all off with a little wind here and we're throwing a jerk bait. In specific the full grown scout I'm on a main lake point. This is something I have not done in. Oh my god that was a striped bass right there that just exploded and there are some bass of some sort of species and from what I've seen this week you're not getting a bite on a bank. Something's wrong you just need to keep changing spots. Okay these shad are still deep and I'll show you this here this afternoon how it's going to change but I'm going to switch to a jig. Something that's going to stay on the bottom. This isn't really shallow cover it's just I'm trying to go for a bigger bite and we really haven't had any any big bites around shallow cover. It seems like there's a lot of male bass that are moving up so I'm just going to try working on the bottom with a little bit heavier finesse jig. A half ounce a little juicy. All right we're starting to go into a possible spawning pocket. This would be a spot where it's still a little wavy but a big bass might spawn in here and this is the lead in bank so this is a this is a pretty crucial area to get a bite but this is totally against the norm of how we've been catching fish this week. There's fish. Oh it's a good one. Oh he come off. That gummit. All right that was a little better fish. Crap we're just swimming with that little juicy in his mouth. He just come up and jumped and spit it so same same sort of scenario just completely different. If you guys go back and watch all the videos I mentioned at the beginning like we're catching them shallow. I'm talking two feet dirty water flipping in the mornings and then kind of moving to some different stuff in the afternoons but this is a completely different bank starting in the morning but the same concept applies it's it's kind of leading into this pocket right here which is a could be a spawning area potentially and I'm just I'm working the bottom but I'm working rocks I'm working with a finesse jig with deep water close by and you know that was about a two and a half to maybe three pound bass right there it's a pretty good fish start the morning but just came on peg to happen sometimes. Dang that felt like a sneaky one I had it. One did have it took a pincher he was swimming with it spot lock it here. This little juicy jig you know this is this is designed to be fished a little bit more aggressively. We've got some heavier weights we've got a little bit beefier brush guard and hook then you know some like really northern south finesse jigs and something that we've come out with recently are our junior sizes in the kraken cross the bandito bugs and it's a three inch ends up being perfect for a finesse jig trailer so I don't uh I'm not going to pinch anything off of this so it's already a small profile and if you guys are wondering this is okachobi craw right here and this is blue baby it's a fantastic color so thread this on here put it on that double plastic keeper so that way your plastic isn't sliding down and I'm going to go ahead and retie so I don't break off oh gosh it's hammered hammered by by it jeez pick it up just getting too many suspended fish right here oh there's one got him on the jerk bait could be back here feeding on some shad pushed up shad just a little guy first fish of the day though okay he's pulling hard okay a little morning jerk bait bite oh he's got it sideways in his mouth come here buddy you do not look very good oh no he had it in his gills he's bleeding try to get him on hook real quick for you guys head right there hang on there buddy get you on hook get you back in the water as fast as we can man that was bad actually actually had his gills a little bit so um if the bass is bleeding try to get him back in the water as fast as you can because they're blood unlike ours coagulates in water so the faster you get them back in the water more likely they are to coagulate their blood and survive first fish right there in a little little pocket not surprised so we got two bites on the lead in edge and then uh we actually connected and landed a fish in the pocket itself on the full size scout right here which has been a pretty key lure pretty key search bait for some reason they don't want to eat a spinner bait right now which is crazy because there's so many shad and the conditions scream spinner bait and you throw it and you throw it and I have just thrown it a ton and only gotten one bite so this right here they actually connect with it I think the pauses are just key and it's just staying in the zone and uh you'll actually see some some fish riding up high right here and you know there's some shad right there but interesting you just really have to pay attention to the electronics and see where those fish are and if I'm seeing them suspended especially the bait fish or just visually seeing shad like up towards the surface I immediately get out that jerk bait or a weightless soft plastic bait um this has been really good too this week throwing a lunker log twitching it at the surface showed you guys that in the last video I'm going to make a few more casts with the jerk bait in the back of this cove then I'm going to flip it a little bit there's some good lay downs and then we'll keep moving oh my gosh get up I apologize my GoPro was rolling because that was one of the coolest bites of the week the fish ate it out of that tree ate my jig absolutely just swallowed it oh god that's a good one too that's a little better right there that's getting up two and three quarters look at that juicy jig y'all it's gone it's freaking gone oh and that's probably a piece of cover that wouldn't have been here a few days ago because all the rain but um that right there this fish came up out of this brush this floating piece of brush it's not even fixed and it swiped it as soon as it hit the water that just tells you like how shallow they are even though i'm sitting in 13 feet there's 20 right behind me really nice fish right there nice fish right there y'all we're gonna let our nice chunky healthy friend go into the depths i think what i'm gonna go do now is run more just main lake type stuff i was gonna go way up like try to find some really warm shallower water but now just after seeing that there are fish on just a random you know main lake bank i really feel like my percentages of catching a bigger bass are going to be higher there i'm gonna fish a different part of the lake that i haven't fished yet so let's go explore and let's try to get old hog on the line but i gotta tell you catching two to three pounders isn't bad it's pretty fun i got something oh i found a little striper baby found a little striper on a crankbait oh this thing will absolutely carry you a new one what's my first catch with the square bill since i've been here and uh there is a bunch of fish right here y'all just a bunch i'm probably going to get torn up by these things that's okay i like that i like getting torn up by striped animals look at them look at them on the electronics holy moly oh we got wind blowing in here y'all i love this this is some good stuff oh gosh there's another one just shellacked it that one might be a white bass right there and i will be coming back to catch me some of these babies and take them home oh gosh that's good there's a little stripy oh little buddy oh come here all these things get absolutely huge huge i actually caught one about eight or nine pounds while i was trying to catch the bass and it just about jerked the rod out of my hand a lot of feeding activity here though so that is good there ought to be some large mouths just waiting on the jerkbait my battery's about to die on my gopro so just hang with me y'all this one's absolutely got it though oh my gosh this is just that jerkbait kind of condition right here get this one on hook quick too the most headfirst jerkbait bite eat i've ever seen in my life holy cow okay y'all i'm gonna let this one go real quick make sure it goes away okay there it goes just swam off jeez all right i gotta change my battery apologize it's a mess starting to get really windy out here but that fish came on the jerkbait right on the inside leading edge same sort of thing so i think the jerkbait is just like key essential tool today and i'm gonna fish this little cove this little area with it go in around some of these rocks i might throw a jig and everything as well but man it just seems like you get on that leading edge area throw that jerkbait i just that big one that big one's gotta bite got our new battery the gopro right roll let's hit it oh there we go baby oh yes uh this might be pretty serious here i don't know if it's a bass oh my gosh what in the heck of oh i've got a striper in the back oh my goodness that little thing that little thing felt like like a 34 pound bass no question because i had it hooked in the back anytime you don't have a fish hooked in the mouth they have like their full fighting power get this out there you go buddy there's another one oh my oh this this guy is just fired up man these things are crazy got the dock here oh my that is close to my fingers buddy what a predator that thing is not it's a big one that is a big one we're just gonna take it easy i'm gonna caught up in that i got 10 pound line look at these big fish suspended right here another fish y'all just sitting below the shad look at that these suckers are in here god that's suck breaking that fish off y'all jeez just had one there oh he's following it he's following it oh that fish is territorial oh easy done little treat oh come here baby ah gotcha well that was cool not as cool as that big one that just got off but that was cool i'm saddened by our loss y'all in the back of the creek right where it should have been but i had 10 pound line on that was helping me get in that jerk bait a little bit deeper using 10 pound fluoro and it just went right for a rope and as soon as i saw the fish jump i kind of let off a little bit i was like i'm gonna let it run i didn't realize there was a rope hanging on the end of the dock so it got me in that just caught another one using the lunker log twitching it same sort of technique but just that's what i'm using to get up under the cover slide that little lunker log skip it up under there and they'll come up and you actually get to see it happen which is awesome it's almost like a top water i'm gonna work this cope see if we can get any other big ones i just talked to john he's he's got a couple of nice ones today and he went forward to the the program that i was avoiding this morning flipping but sounded like that was the thing to do this morning either way we're gonna keep working this code it looks awesome it's clear gotta put ourselves another scout back on full size scout if y'all are interested in these i will leave a link down below these are a really good jerk bait especially for the price and if you want to sign up to be a shop carls club member you'll save 30% not on just these but all of our products so it ends up being a good deal in the long run if you're playing on uh buying some any amount of tackle which most anglers do gotta be best right on the main leg point no it's a damn striper whoa well if you get over 18 inches you were going in the box sir they are so daggone scary even a little one like this oh fishing freaks i think we're gonna shut it down right here and i'm gonna go chase some meat for the cooler i'm gonna go try to limit out on some white bass and possibly even get some stripers i've had a hard run on the bass this morning and it hasn't just been this morning i've been here for many days i hope you learned something in this video but you'll definitely learn some things in those other videos i mentioned at the beginning i had my opportunity at a at a tasty one and it just broke me off y'all sometimes that's how it goes but i do appreciate y'all being here with me on the boat as we are in isolation from corona and uh this is a pretty daggone good place to spend it y'all gotta smash that like button for outdoor greatness keep it locked right here for more fishing action godspeed i'll see you next time
