 Truck cranking. I'm spanking little bass cuz I can't be blanking Just hit them with the rhymes right off the gate. What we're going bass fishing today. You know what? I did not forget just in case a scale a Scale I'm not gonna be caught without one. That's normally where I keep my scale right on the console Didn't have it last time when I caught a big bass because I was transferring stuff to the new boat And I just that was one thing I forgot chickens How we doing Let me tell you a little something about what we got going on here We're kind of cultivating the yard put a bunch of leaves in here. We're getting that chicken scratching Pooping going on get that nutrients involved with it Then we're kind of mixing up You know leftover fruits and veggies and coffee grounds and all that kind of stuff in there and we're gonna grow We're gonna grow things with it potentially That's what we got going on here going to a DFT Blake today Never fished it. My boy John Hallowed at me the other day said said the bites pretty decent out there could be a possible flipping bite Maybe a little cranking bite some pre spawners possible spawners right now. We just had major Like thunder clouds roll in this morning, but it didn't rain and it stayed warm overnight That's always key in the spring. We get a warm night fish kind of Fish kind of get going. It's just a big fish kind of day overcasts could thunderstorm on us. I don't know I just said I got to get my rods and go because big fish kind of day So let's head out to the lake and see what we can do We're floating Bait it out on the water and water temps are looking 8.3 That's good spinner bait 5 gig weather Moving baits in general Overcast conditions we might get jumped on later today, but Kind of big fish weather I think so I'm gonna start off on the there's a big dam out here a lot of riprap It's deep I'm gonna fish around there to kind of get a feel if I can't get anything going there on some moving baits And I'll probably head into some pockets and start seeing if there's anything to flip that I see a couple of marina type areas and This is a city lake. So there's not a whole lot of You know trees Brush grass and stuff going on. It's gonna be more like Probably fishing a a shopping cart that's in the water or you know a random log that floated off or something that Landed on the bank. There's not a whole lot of good natural type cover out here, but There's a ton of shat. It's seen a ton of shat on the graph. So definitely a lot of life Dig in Crane bait box here the grande size banger. I think we're just gonna have to give it a try today Mondo shad right there looks pretty good With this grande banger, this is gonna go a little deeper than the standard banger probably about eight foot And it's just a bigger profile I'm gonna just try I may need to go up to like a recon Get down there a little further 58 there ought to be some pushing up on these rocks. This is a really good looking dam as far as depth water clarity go rocks just Coming far out really good looking stuff Jerkable Giants Jerkable Giants right here. This would be carp. Oh, this fish is gonna eat my jig. Oh my god Those are bass floaters Fish almost ate my jig Man, we got some big hairy floaters right here. This was just coming up right away right away They like the glide that fish as soon as it hit the water Came up almost cranked it Keep the glide up already. That was exciting Okay, I just casted to a small one and he ate the wacky rig spit it out really quick But he came up and bumped it so that is going to be My my next good one I see on the scope. That's what I'm gonna throw at him Also, this is just this is wacky type stuff. There's no wind fish came up five feet to get it to Oh, this fish sees it already Once the smoke come on. They're just there every every fish I cast to is It's going to the bait and nosing it This fish are just not in food to buy I guess It's a big looking fish Bruce Think I had five coming right up to my bait Follow it follow it all the way in I'm gonna leave that. I'll probably come back to it We're just not in the mood to eat right now. We get some wind or some sort of atmosphere change I'll probably come back here and see if those fish are true to eat I think I catch a big one there, but I'm going to slide up into some pockets. Look at something different Occupy my time Dabbling Looks to be some Pockets that I can kind of get into over here. I'm gonna see It might be really shallow. I don't know But I'm just gonna get away from that for a second and take a look at something else Okay, we're gonna slide up in here with some jigs I believe I do believe This one rod I've been dying to get some good jig bites on this this muscle heavy muscle Black series this thing is is is built for it Built for this stuff right here Hidden brush police chopper Get happy here with a happy trailer Thread that baby on With a white dirty water. I was throwing that out Flamin' hot Which is a cool little combo in the chartreuse, but I don't know I'm feeling feeling the winter white Every piece of grass I see floating at the surface is stripped clean of its leaves So it's either carp just sucking the leaves off of it or these ducks or That voracious. Oh my gosh What a poop that was Didn't even see those cormorants up there some sort of weird Breakwater right here. Here comes the rain Just a little drizzle just yet. Look at those Baudard fruits. There's orange Baudard fruits right there This is the trashiest lake I've ever seen rubber made top right there's about a billion styrofoam cups crash I may have to go back to the dam. I said I was gonna go back there and try to target those fish I was hoping to pop a couple of shallow guys get a little shallow bite going fart F-A-R-T fart Buggered up the best open piece of brush You're gonna get bit if you're not getting the stuff though cookie tough cookie This is where I had the most activity. I cannot believe I didn't get any shallow bites a Lot of one a sniff Most of the bait I've seen is out deeper, too I even tried some dogs tried flipping a little dog action I'll tell you one thing if I ever get a lake home It's not gonna be on this lake Definitely not trying to slow play these fish with a wacky rig They were just ignoring it. It's so calm. There's just no motion Nothing happening here. It's not getting warm enough for them to push up in that shallow stuff So they're just kind of in a holding pattern. They got a fish. I didn't even feel like a bass. Oh My god, it's a floater kitty cat What in the deuce? What in the deuce am I doing with my life? I've had some wild stuff. That's a floater cat fish God, I'm the king of catching floater oddities Lucky you're in like a toxic waste lake. Otherwise, I would put you in the well Goodbye Goodbye, I think I'm done with this lake This is some bogus Stuff here Look at that kitty cat slime everywhere is that what I'm saying Is that what I'm seeing? I mean, I might be just a complete idiot when it comes to this life scoping That's a little go I'll stretch a bank. I wanted to fish. There's a boat on it. I'm having trouble figuring out the fish positioning Maybe they're gonna be like real shallow or off the bank quite a bit. I don't see a good mid-depth Option for them. They're okay. So here's a mid-depth cruiser of some species. I don't know what it is Make that clear right now and this is the trashiest bank I've ever fished in my life I'm talking Greta would be crying right now. She was in this boat There's also some current here, which is interesting. I don't know Where it's coming from, but I can see the trash wrap is floating away That gun Frustrates me because I know there's some big fish. John showed me some huge fish. He caught out here I don't know if I get one. It's gonna be a big one. But I caught a bass Caught him a shallow moving around this brush Anticipating. I could just get a couple bites. I know they're gonna be big All right, so I'm gonna make a couple more flips down this bank than I am Audi 5000. I don't know if it's bad timing bad luck. I suck but Get anything going on this lake Put it in some good-looking stuff, too. I Was a big one. This is where I would spawn right here on this Steep bank with some rocks on it 59 degree water not quite spawning temps, but Close gosh, that's what we came here for. Look at that face It's worth pretty darn hard for you, sir. Golly. That's probably six over six giant fish literally about to leave I'm gonna get a weight on that fish. Oh My gosh, that just made it worth it right there. Fish was off the bank a little bit Just a little bit Y'all Literally I was about to lift up the trolling motor that one fish just Made my day made my day made my trip out here worth it That's a fat, fat pre-spawner Okay, I brought my scale this time. Let's get a weight on this fish. All right. Here we go that fish is 7 710 y'all 710 7 pounder a Fat one That makes all the effort I spent today worth it. Look at that fat belly sal getting ready to spawn All right, let's let this pig go Conter in the tongue, which is never good not healthy for him. So try to let her go real quick Come on. There you go. Oh I knew there was some big fish in here and I finally caught one of those elusive fish God is it has been a grind y'all just the conditions today Not been conducive For getting bites. I thought it was going to be I thought it was going to be just big bass going crazy But just being so calm Just zero water movement. I think really put these fish in just Stupor This lake is literally trash like it's just trash all around me The fishing I can't say has been good for me. I Know if I had the right day, I would probably Put a big sack together out here, but Hey, that's why we come that's why we come this time here Try new legs and get after it so we can catch big fish like that All right, y'all. I am going to sign it off from Turd Creek here on Lake Arlington. This is this is the trashiest lake I've ever fished and They need a massive cleanup project out here. It is incredible I bet at times you could catch fish under trash mats like floating trash mats that crazy I can't say that I'll be back here just because it's so Unappealing to fish just trash wise it sets up how I like to fish Shallow, you know throwing those power baits and stuff like that, but just a little rough I like to go fishing and breathe in the fresh air See this see the life the wildlife and everything Not not look at trash. So Giant fishing here They will be moving up here soon I if we would have had a sunny day today the creek that I'm in right now and I'm fishing in it would have been It would have been a pretty decent flipping by it I feel like but because of this overcast And the water temps not quite getting into the 60s. These fish are just kind of Suspended and in in a holding pattern just getting ready to spawn But hopefully you learned something out of today Maybe not I grinded my butt off out here. So hit that like button at least and You guys got to go get you some happy trailers. It's a musty.
