 Where is he? Where's that tweeter? There he is. Welcome out to the channel y'all. We are doing a little vlog action today. Coming off, uh, coming off a big bass. Feeling pretty good about my life right now. Now I'm gonna head out to the lake again. Gonna go local waters and just try to get it done. Maybe just try to catch a few bass, and then we got some other big stuff happening here at the tree house. We have a new coop ready. So I'm actually gonna be doing a documentary series called the quest for the golden egg over at the Lake Lye Family Channel. It's basically our trials and tribulations trying to get a a really really healthy looking egg. Link down below for that channel. We need to go give our chickens a treat. So let's give them some mealworms. Ladies, come over here. Do you see yourselves? Is that what you're seeing? They're very fascinated by the camera. Got mealworms. Oh, yeah, get you some of that. I'm starting to figure out the personalities. The one that is staring at the lens right now or the LCD screen. She is the sassiest. The one that is just eating voraciously out of my hand right now. She is the sweetest, and she is the always the first to the food. She's the first to the water. So I'll be doing more in-depth analysis on chicken health, care, homesteading, animal husbandry, if you will, over at the Lake Lye Family Channel. She's gonna give these little gals a treat. We're gonna be laying an egg here pretty soon, and we're gonna hit the water. Nailed it. If y'all are wondering if I still like my truck, yes, I do. I'm still really liking this truck, and you know, actually yesterday on my trip, I always go back to this, but 15 and a half miles to the gallon with the silver bullet. So that's pretty good. One thing that's weird, though, is my truck asked me if I wanted to update it yesterday, like you would with your phone. Like I turned it on and it was like, new update available. So I updated it. I don't know what it did. Maybe it gave me a better gas mileage. And you also may notice I'm no longer in my driveway. I am in LFD's driveway. If you're an old-school fishing freak, you've been here for a minute. Years, y'all. Some of my earliest videos were done in this driveway in old red, as it was called, my old red boat that I had here. All my tackle was in there. It was kind of split between here and Lake Ford, but to this day there is a ton of tackle in there. LFD has a monster collection of all my old stuff, and he sometimes gives it out to people, kids, whatever. The reason I have this boat in the driveway right now is because Stephanie ordered a ton of mulch. There's apparently a way to get mulch for free, but you don't know when you're going to get it. So there's a giguneness pile of mulch in my driveway. It's another duty of mine on the lake life, because I've got to, I've got to spread some mulch around here pretty soon. And I've got to re-rock that driveway after the mulch is gone. So home projects. But right now it's time to dangle, and it's the dangle season. I think we're gonna be okay. This afternoon we're gonna be here. 10 percent tomorrow. That's where you stay indoors. I said this a lot, Lily, but this is why you fish this time of year. It's not about the numbers right now. Do that in the summer and fall. Right now you could catch the biggest fish of your life. Big bellies. Big bellies on them. Getting ready to lay those eggs. Big females, so let's focus. Okay, y'all. Got a recon on. This is that color I was talking about in my last video. Mud bug. I've caught a number of seven pluses on it. I am cranking out on the main portion of the lake right now. Trying to get one of these hogs to come up and snap at it. Clat back on the mud bug. Well, there's a fish and I'm gonna catch him home in the grass. Don't know how and I don't know when, but I'm gonna get him. Baby get ready. Got him. Got that fish that was sitting on the rock. Oh yeah. Largie. Largie falling victim to the spoon on the crappie rod. Come here, leaf. Barely get you in boy. Barely get you in. Oh my goodness. Show y'all a little something right here. See I got that fish right in the bottom of the chin. Sometimes that happens. The fish will be like trying to figure out what it is. They'll get right below it and then you'll just get them right there. That large mouth. It's got a little skin missing right there. That large mouth was sitting right on the end of a rock down there on the electronics. I know I was singing a silly little song, but ended up getting a nice little, you know, two and a half or so bass. He plucked it pretty good. I wasn't sure if that was going to be a crappie or a large mouth or what. I just, I only saw like a couple of signatures. So I think I, I think I might have gotten the only one there. See. Yeah, there's another one. I see him now. Little white spoon. It's not really what I want to be doing in March. I'll just call them like I see them y'all. Look at the electronics. Look at the water temps. Look at where I see fish and then swing away at them. They're not big, but they're just sitting right behind this rock. Can you guys see them right here? Those are bass. They're just not moving. One little dude. I mean it's just right in their face. Dagum! I had like four fish right there y'all. They just wouldn't, would not commit. So I'm going to move on. I'm going to move for them. Definitely just drop the little waypoint on them and I can always come back later. So the only bite I've had has been main length a little deeper unfortunately, but I'm just going to roll with the punches here. We're going to look for a couple of, we're going to look for a couple other little secondary points and then I'm going to try up shallow. The weather's not really going to get any warmer. It's just kind of flat line. I just had a moment. Broke my line off. Got a wind knot. Wow. Just got a monster bite. Seed my leader break. Leader broke. Okay. I swung away way too freaking hard. Wow. Just take a moment here. Okay. I was just noticing something. I am, I am sitting in between two points. Okay. Main lake. Little spawning pocket right here. I noticed fish sitting right here and right here, basically where I am right now. There's a tiny little stick over there and I saw a shad flicking their tails on them. There's a couple of suspendos right there, suspended fish. Then I saw a huge ball of shad moving through here. So picked up a little shaky head with a trench hog on it. Threw it out there. Got smoked and just sat there with it. Like the fish didn't even move off. So I don't know, that fish could have been on a bed, but boy, that really hurts my feelings. That really hurts my feelings. More movement right there. And look at the big, big nasty, big nasties underneath. Geez. God, Lee, that was a big hit. God, Lee, man. Look at those. Those are three good side bastards. They're just sitting right here in between these points. I probably need to back off of it, but turn this troll on. Just getting your composure. It's going to be all right. It's going to be okay. I have a jig on. God, they're biggings back here. I knew it. Yes, baby. In the dirt. They go dirt. God, that one I broke off was a hammer. We ate it just like that and it just didn't move. Oh, sweet baby girl. Are you dropping eggs? No bloody tail yet, but you're moving up. Look at that. Juicy jig, y'all. Juicy jig, center of the face. Got to love it. Had to switch up to a little bit bigger line. Went to 20 pound line, medium heavy action rod, and whale. I am so proud of our Guggen Squad jigs and our plastics, y'all. This feels good. Okay, buddy. I'll let you go. Nice fish off the rocks. See you. I'm going to fish for a little bit more, and if I don't get another bite, I don't get another bite, but there are big ones that'll lead to jigging. That's why I'm going to do it. Just found out I got to go on a road trip this afternoon as well, so time is of the essence. Let's get jigging. Again, we're looking at a different fork right here, and these fish are sitting. I see some fish just sitting in the trough. Like they're not committed. I know I said I was going to continue throwing a jig. I kind of lied. I apologize for that. I'm throwing a different form of a jig, just because I know these fish are hugging the bottom they're going to be hard to catch. I'm dragging a rattling ned. See if I can pick one of these fish up to see how big they are. I don't think they're as big as the other fish I was looking at. There's about five or six of them that are just calmly waiting for conditions to be prime. Here's the thing that's also happening, guys. This was right before I broke that fish off, so I got all flustered. I was going to talk about it, but there's a shad spawn going on. There's a shad spawn going on in the back of these little creeks. I definitely saw a shad that was trying to lay its eggs on a little floating stick. Because it's overcast today, we have a longer low light conditions. I was able to see that. Normally they do it at night, or first thing. You'll see it like in the evening, first thing in the morning, at night. That's another reason for the bass to be back there, even though it's a little bit cold. They're just going to get their fill in these shad and I think stay in these little little ditches, little troughs, little forks until that water hits 60, 62, and then they're just going to load up on the bank. Nobody's in that little pocket. I was going to go back to the one where I originally caught fish, but there was a kayaker back there. And it looked like he had a long ways. He was fishing really slow bass fishing, so I think he deserves to catch a mando back there. Very, very, very patient with his cast. I wish, I wish, I wish. I could continue my jig quest a little longer y'all, but I'm a responsible adult with kids. One child actually, but I got things I got to do. Got wifey do's. I got things I got to do for this channel and our other lake life channel. So I'm going to put it on the trailer. I'm going to head up to HQ. I got to drop this boat off because there's no room in my bag of driveway. And then I got to pick up another trailer and then go get a very large house and put it on that trailer. Not a house for mutants. It's a house for birds. And it's a long ways away, so let's get to ribbing. Down at the treehouse, 100k treehouse. Thank you for subscribing. Go ahead. It's linked down below. You can watch more of this. What are you, is that a pot? It's a, it's a pot. This is the only, this is the only bucket that I found in the garage. That's not a bucket. It was the only container that I found in the garage. Well, at least she got your little helper over here. Yeah, she's been eating sticks and rocks. Well, this is why I can't put my boat in the driveway. I've always got to stop at the buckets, ladies and gentlemen. Just left the HQ, doing a little check on the trailer here. I think this is Lunker's TVs. Could be John B's. Don't really know. It's kind of like a, just a vehicle, a used vehicle lot up there. Anyways, we are hooked up. We're looking good and we're going to go get our cargo. Well, two hours and 20 minutes later, we got ourselves a chicken house, y'all. Time to haul it home. Let's get dark. I'm running out of light. I'm going to, I'm going to do like a tour, a tour of this house at the Lake Lye Family Channel if you want. But anyways, Fishing Freak made it for me. He did this one on a cedar and he actually had a buddy with him. He had some Mando worms for me to sign when, when they arrived. So anyway, it's kind of cool. Fishing Freaks all over the place. Love you guys very much. And since we were running out of light, we were going to shut it down right here. That old big boys record service. Odd ending. Odd ending to a vlog. But anyways, stay tuned. We're going to be getting more chickens filling up the house coming up on the channel very soon. I hope you guys learned something in the fishing realm today. And thank you for coming with me all over this place, all over the state of Texas. And speaking of that, we're going to be doing a lot of traveling. Once we get back from the Bassmaster Classic, which I will be at this weekend, while it was in there, but that was one of the biggest tubes I've ever seen on the highway. Anyways guys, go ahead and subscribe right here so you don't miss a single video. Smash that like button for sniffing the larges and I'll see you on the next one.
