I was just trying to be like straightforward with you guys But it just came off as I'm like super mad But this video is probably one of the most valuable ones. I'm ever gonna post on my channel So take the time out of your day if you have some time and please watch it You're gonna learn so much out of this even if you're not having trouble right now and this I promise you will help you guys So much I hope you guys enjoy these types of videos drop a comment down below on what type of tip videos you guys want to see and I'll get them out to you guys listen I keep it real here on kicking their best TV my main goal since I've started this was to help you guys out in This video if you watch it closely don't skip because It makes me mad because this I'm literally gonna take you through on how like if you guys are fishing They'll know is 20 degrees is too cold the fish aren't biting. It doesn't matter. They will eat Exactly what I'm gonna show you guys to rig up today If you guys throw it the right way and this is gonna help you guys catch fish this month 100% next trip you go on you take everything I talked about and you will go catch fish now Let's go ahead and hop right into it So I've got so many comments this month. No, I just cannot catch fish know is 20 degrees is tough This is going to be the best way to catch the fish We're gonna go out to the lake that I'm going to which is a pond. I'm gonna describe how the bottom is I'm gonna describe where the fish are laying out people hide this guys people on YouTube don't want to give away How they're catching fish plain and simple they can give you all the tips they want But they're not gonna tell you straight up this video straight up So we're gonna talk about one rig today, and it's the drop shot. Okay this time of year the fish is tough Today in particular the pressure is higher than I've ever seen it I've never seen the pressure this high since I have been fishing my whole life, and I'm that is dead honest truth I'm being straightforward with you guys today because I got to catch your attention So you guys can actually listen to me for two seconds without getting bored and and just try this. This is all you need We got some finesse drop shot weights right here. Okay clean and simple. These are lead ones It's 316 sounds. There's 13 of them in a pack Five bucks for okay some regular drop shot hooks right here clean and basic a couple dollars right here The combo that I'm throwing it on is a pro ti and you guys are probably saying Noah Why are you throwing the drop shot on a baitcaster? Um, I would suggest throwing a drop shot on white spinning tackle The line I would suggest is 10 to 12 pound floor carbon 10 is probably perfect especially for vertically dropping I really wouldn't suggest throwing it on a baitcaster, but me I'm very stubborn I'm gonna catch the fish how I want and my spinning rods. I need a new line on them So therefore I'm gonna be using this today on 15 pound, but I'm throwing it out I'm not vertically dropping and we're gonna catch them on it either way Let's go ahead and talk about how to rig this up real quick I'm gonna cut this off of my rod real quick. So take me about two seconds and then we'll hop right into it This is a very important step so don't skip this don't think oh no I know how to tie a drop shot. There's something on this That's very important that if you're not doing then you're gonna lose a lot of fish guys I'm cutting you straight. I ain't trying to be rude, but I'm cutting y'all straight today boys Alright, I'm gonna take my worm off my hook so you're not gonna get confused. You got our small drop shot hook We're gonna go right through the top. Okay, boom hook's facing up notice that I'm gonna I'm gonna make my tag in very very large I tied the uni knot I have a video on my channel if you want to learn how to tie it But I'm gonna make a very long tag in I want to make my leader around 12 to 15 inches We have her not tied on her hook Now what we're gonna do is our tag in it's very long as you guys can tell it's about two foot Okay, this is important. This is what you guys need to do. You're gonna take your tag in You got your hook sitting up like this. Okay. I'm trying to put it on my white shirt so you guys can see it There you go. All right, you're gonna take your tag in and you're gonna go right back through the eyelid Okay, and you're gonna pull that tag in All the way back through the eyelid now watch this You see how your hook is facing straight up. There's no it's not sideways It's not facing down your hook is straight up aligned with your line So when you lift up on this drop shot that hook is gonna penetrate right in that fish's mouth That simple step right there with you putting that line back through the eyelid will help you catch If you get 15 bites, it's gonna help you get all 15. Okay? If it's not like that, you're probably gonna catch five out of those 15 fish. That's very important So now we're gonna leave this tagging about I'm gonna say 14 inches what we're gonna aim for today 14 inch leader from your weight to your hook now. We're gonna get one of these 316 sounds standard drop shot weight stick our line through You pull it tight Now I'm gonna do two loop knots to tie this thing on since you're down We're good to go. I'm gonna cut this tag in there. We go. I got the best drop shot rig You can possibly make Got a regular hook. We're gonna be lip-hooking our bait right there 13 inches down. We got our weight right there. That's the rig that you're gonna be using now I'm gonna catch you guys at the pond I'm gonna show you the worms that I'm using just gonna be simple and basic Now I'm gonna show you how we're catching these fish because this is the important part is how to catch the fish This is just made it out to this beautiful pond. We're gonna rig up real quick I just got a basic little worm right here basic little drop shot worm This one's in black and blue black and blue green pump can work out here pretty basic So this is the hook that I got right here all you're gonna do Just nose hook this bait Just like that All right, that's all you got to do So now I'm gonna show you guys coming out to the areas on how to find these fish during the winter So when you're fishing these small ponds, it's gonna be the same with the lakes What you want to find is the deepest point of the place that you're fishing So whether it's a ditch whether it's a little hole whether you got some rocks out there some structure on the bottom Whatever it is those deep little crevices those bass like to sit in this time of year So what you're wanting to if you see a little ditch what that fish is gonna do see this is the ditch He's gonna sit his body right in the bottom of that Okay, if you're fishing a place that has a lot of grass still has a bunch of slop What I would suggest throwing is like a weightless Sanko on it you WG hook I have a video on that if you want to go watch it Or I can make a new one because I have a little bit more to talk about that if you're fishing a place That's really flat. You know, there's not really any drop offs to shallow the whole thing with this fish You're gonna do is still pull up onto that cover So the laydowns and all that stuff that's on the bank this fish are gonna get on But if you have any areas that have deep drop offs, this fish will be stacked in there You guys are probably saying Noah. How do you know that a place has deep water? Well coming out here? I count down my cast so I beam it out there and I count down one two three Four and I figure out that fall rate to figure out what the depth is this pond has a lot of deep water If you look right out here, there's a pocket back in this corner, okay? Right here is a flat about a hundred foot out going all the way down this stretch So right here you got that stretch flat all the way out hundred foot then right after that hundred foot it goes like this Drops off. Okay, so it's about five foot right here drops off to about 10 to 12 foot Those fish this time you're gonna sit on the edge of that drop off You can't catch them on that drop off like today It's hard for us to get our baits out that far. This fish are gonna get on the hard bottom So on this flat, there's certain little areas certain little chunks of hard bottom My bad of hard bottom and this fish would be stacked on there this time of year in the winter time It's important that once you catch a fish realize why you caught that fish Okay, because this time of year the fish stack up. So if you have a little deep hole and you catch one There's another one. It's always rule of thumb. I can fish this whole pond won't get any bites But there's a couple spots out here that are gonna hold fish. So let's go ahead and get out here I'm gonna show you guys how I'm working this and why those fish are sitting there. All right So we have our drop shot about 12 inches to 15 inch leader right here You're gonna have to experiment with it to see what this fish want because you will get bites depending on the leader size Drop off his way out there. So what I'm gonna do Beam a long cast right out there right where I just landed is exactly where that drop off is Okay, it's gonna be about right where I landed. It's probably about eight foot up on this flat It's about five foot that three foot drop off in shallow water is very important There should be fish sitting out here. So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna let that drop shot hit the bottom okay Once I let it hit the bottom. I'm gonna I'm gonna reel up my slack and just barely hop that thing Okay, barely move that rod. So what that worms doing is just barely fluttering Okay, then I'm gonna let my line go slack show them that don't right there. See how my line slack So look this is what that worms doing. I was hopping that worm Now let that line slack and the worm slowly falls to the bottom because that weights on the bottom at all times So when you reel up your line That worm comes to the top you're fluttering it and Then you let it stop Flutters down. That's a great technique to catch on this time of year Okay, if you guys are saying it's just so so tough to where you can't get bites I would suggest a dead sticking it. So, you know, just lifting up shaking it a little bit And then just let it have slack line and let it barely fall and just leave it in that same position And this fish are bite it But it's important to find that hard bottom up on these flats And if they're not on these flats to get on those drop offs in those little holes So we're gonna fish around here and I promise you there's gonna be some fish located right here All right, so we threw off on that drop off. I've been fishing this flat last time I went off You guys saw one of the previous episodes right where I just casted There's a hard bottom And it's only about five by five. I don't know what it is, but it's I mean, it's only yay big And there's fish that are sitting all up on it. So I just casted by it We should get bit in the matter of Probably 10 15 seconds. There should be one right here. Give me one second. I'm telling you watch this this cast Should be a fish down there because I know there's they stack down there, you know There's so many that sit on that That's what you got to find this time of year is there's certain spots that hold a lot of fish Whether it's those little drop offs or those hard bottom pieces Because this fish really patch up this time of year. There he is That's a good one. That's a good one That's actually a big in Yep No, I get it. I get it. That's four pounder Oh man, that's a good one Oh, that's a freaking football caught me a four pounder. I can't even grip his head Oh my god Come on guys and they say drop shot only catch a small delton Delton can speak for you. I'll put the camera on him in a minute. Yeah, one they say drop shot catch a small fish Most of the term is I've wanted been on a drop shot And that's almost four pound fish right there It's probably three and a half to be safe That is a beautiful bass Just like what I said, I will not hard bottom. Now if you guys think it's over you're crazy Remember where you caught that fish make the same cast on that spot and we're gonna catch another one But that is a beautiful three and a half pound bass right there. That is a good one. There we go. Almost a four pounder The pressure is so high today delton You witnessed it bro. It's insane, man. And we're gonna do it again. Same cast You you guys are gonna watch it. I told delton you put down the camera. I said hold on There's one more thing I got to talk about that drop off is good that hard bottom can sometimes be even better Well, delton anyways, tell the people like out of your last five fishing trips pond fishing. How has it been out here? It's been super tough. I have been fishing Probably the last two times I went fishing didn't get a single bite and a couple times before that I got a couple of bites. They were all small small fish. Maybe less than a pound It's just been really really tough here lately. We just had a big cold front come through full moon come through Everything about it right now. It's just tough conditions. It's it's almost impossible to catch one Thank you for telling the people that the fish has been tough because people like to say no You're just fishing places that are so easy And this place is actually a place you don't get more than five bites a day So it's like one of those things and the fishing has been tough This is just a proven concept to catch more fish if you follow these Instructions that we're talking about today and for all you people who think that noa fish is private ponds That only he's allowed to fish You're thinking wrong because me and him fish the same place and I can't catch anything He can't catch anything. It's actually really tough guys. I promise we just called that fish I showed you right there now. This is going to be even crazier. This is going to blow your mind even more We're going to make that same exact cast and catch another fish because this time of year like I was talking about They stack up on that stuff So we're going to get delin rigged up on a drop shot We're going to get him to cast that out there and he's going to catch a fish in the same exact spot I'm going to tell you exactly where to cast you casting that same exact spot. Here's the issue man. What's that? Here's the issue when we went on the boat last time. Yeah, um, I lost the lucky hat so Oh, you don't have the lucky hat? I don't know. I guess we'll see all right delin's rigging up right now I'm just gonna beam one out here off this drop off. I'm gonna let him cast back on that hard spot because they should be stacked Guys this pond listen my record out here is five fish in one day and one of the days I stayed out here for like six seven hours And the other day one of the last episodes I caught over 20 Just because the fishing conditions are so tough. It's just unbelievable You throw the right bait and you know where these fish are located you can do anything And that's when I see those comments of you guys, you know saying you can't catch them That's why I really want to make these videos because I just know they're so valuable and like this is one of those videos I just don't want you guys to skip through at all Because I know how much values in this and if you go do exactly what I'm doing and you pick a part where those fish Are located you'll catch them like this There he is Next cast first cast out there You find those fish stacked up guys. This is how that winter winter stuff works This fish are going to be condensed in some of the best spots some of them's deepest holes some of those hard bottoms If you find it you just keep catching them a small one But I'm gonna get delin on a big one now I'm gonna go out on that drop off. There he is. I got him Throw one out there Whoo dang Gosh man, there we go guys out there on that flat slow. Dude, I was barely dragging it Like very slow. I grabbed the end of my rod I'm like grabbing the bottom of my rod and just kind of putting it in their lip This these looks good. I'm pretty good though. Not a bad one. There's a little guy They're stacked out there though. That's about where delin had his bite right here on this flat I felt some hard bottom and sure enough he was right there I'm sorry, man. That was bad That was not good. That was not good. Can you get it out? Is there any possible way? I don't think there's any possible way, man Oh my god I'm sorry, dude. That was bad. That was bad Delin this is my Christmas present the year just hooks up. I'm not even kidding. No one's gonna judge you Real real real real you got him Oh my god, it's big. Just stand up Stand up. Oh my gosh Oh my gosh, how big is he? He's a solid two Dude, I thought he's gonna come off. I was like, no, dude. He's barely hooked I handed you the rod and you're like, what do I do? Dude, that was hilarious Your first reaction you like looked at me for a second like what's happening and then you just realized there was a fish on it That was so funny That's my that was my Christmas present for you. I know you've been going through a lot with that thing I was like, I'm gonna give him the next fish. I've got it out now. That's why I've been standing next to you I was like, I'm just gonna hand it to you All right, well not a bad one not big but not bad We considered out a double up since you caught the fish and I hooked I guess Yeah, that's pretty cool You just you just finish it out, you know, I got on the bike you finish it out. So I guess it don't Okay
