 near today and you guys know one of my favorite baits the fish head spin really really one of my favorite baits but not only am I fishing in the winter and I know I'm in short sleeves right now if you guys are watching this when I'm not putting it out but it's it's pretty hot outside right now so around 70 degrees the water temp is still 60 but that doesn't mean this fish aren't deep I'm running this fish head on the bottom in these creeks right in the middle and as you can tell I mean I'm fishing around 30 to 50 foot that's what I'm targeting and I know that sounds a little crazy but as you can tell there's a lot of the crap down there and there's also fishing it we scanned over at a second ago we saw a few fish I actually caught some a second ago on the fish head down there but the biggest key to the fish head and I know you guys have been asking me this is why I'm demonstrating this and you can tell right there there's a fish but that one's suspended you know that one's in 30 foot there's 50 foot of water that one's in 30 foot we're not looking directly for those as you can tell he's starting to move down now that fish is going towards the bottom you might have gone back up it's hard to tell though it's hard to catch the movement but the fish that we're targeting the fish that we're looking for are the fish that are on the bottom which is going to be hard to tell you know when you're looking at those fish that are close to the bottom it's going to be hard to really indicate that's a fish a hundred percent you know they're gonna be really close to the bottom but that's what we're indicating what I'm doing with this fish head spin so I'm making a good long cast I'm waiting till I hit the bottom that's the biggest key you want to work this thing on the bottom most of the time that's my favorite way to fish it and for the fish that we're targeting you're gonna want it on the bottom but you throw it out there and the key is I mean you're gonna want to reel this thing so slow it's almost painful you know I mean you're rolling it so slow and you're gonna fill all kinds of stuff on the bottom then you're gonna want to pop it every once in a while and every once in a while when you pop it those fish are just no key on it will whack it but just super slow and pop it because there might be one chasing it and what you'll feel when the fish bites it what you'll feel is it just feels like a fish is ticking it you know we'll take it probably once they'll take it twice then by the third time you might have it and another big key tip to the fish head that you guys are gonna want to know and this is honestly one of the most important key tips for the fish head is you need a hook set sideways you have to hook set sideways just like a crankbait like top water you're gonna want to drag to the side I know in some of my videos you see me hook set sideways on a fish head spinning you guys are probably a lot of you guys comment why are you hook setting like that because all I do is I just sweep into them and then you already have them you just have your pressure if you hook set up what that fish head is gonna do is the hook's gonna twist sideways it's not gonna get them in the mouth so you're just gonna pull out I guarantee you you'll your hookup ratio would be double as good if you're hooking to the side I'm if you're hooking up you're gonna lose a lot more fish it's really painful really slow decent one not as good as the last one but decent fish on the fish head now was that wasn't around 40 foot of water these fish right now just super deep really slow like I said you got a real that thing super slow it's almost really painful let's get a release on them there goes so the fish head that I'm using is a regular half ounce fish head by fish head and I mostly stick to the white colors or shad looking colors and the trailer that I have is the reaction innovations little dipper I really like it it gives it a lot of action but some days it's gonna be a little different you know some days you're gonna want to put a regular fluke style bait on there that doesn't have the paddle tail sometimes the fish are just really finicky like that sometimes the fish are wanting it a little bit slower they're not as aggressive that day and so you might want to slow down put a regular fluke on there where it doesn't have as much action but on a daylight today I mean the fish are moderately active and I want something that's gonna attract the fish you know it's gonna put off a little bit more vibration it's gonna catch that fish's attention to get them to bite that's how they eat it right there look at that has a great healthy fat spot fishing on this creek it's a pretty spot good and healthy on your fish let's go ahead and throw them in the live wolf talking about the rod in real combo that you're gonna want for the fish head spin any 7-1 to 1 gear ratio reel this one is just a Revo MGX by Abu Garcia I really like it and it's on 15 pound fluorocarbon and guys why I'm talking about the 7-1 to 1 gear ratio reel the reason I use the 7-1 to 1 gear ratio reel and like I said you're gonna be wanting to reel it slow but at the same time you're trying to get that fish out of the deep water you're trying to get that fish out of the timber you know you're trying to get the fish out of all that crap and you're gonna want to keep constant tension on the fish but if you're somebody who really can't stand to go super slow you know it just drives you crazy you're wanting to really fast you just can't really stick to that you might want to switch to like a 5 gear ratio reel so it's a lot slower and I'm you want to have a trouble with it but the thing is once you have that you're not going to be able to keep up with the fish sometimes if they're taken off and everything that's really why I tend to stick to the 7-1 to 1 gear ratio reel it's pretty fast it's perfect for the fish head the rod that I'm using is pretty much any 7 foot medium heavy to heavy powered rod you're not gonna want like a medium rod you're gonna want to have something with a little bit of backbone so a medium heavy 7 foot is perfect moderate action maybe even one with a fast tip it'd be great I'm like I said you're just sweeping to the side it's not like you're really sticking them like with the jig but that's the rod and roll combo that I would recommend for the fish head spin just small large mouth on the fish head you can tell we're fishing right down the middle middle of this ditch deep water thank you guys so much
