That's good. That's good right there the great outdoors outdoor greatness We explore it right here you guys so I kind of like it now That might be the new channel tagline dadgum because I don't just do bass fishing that's obviously where I got into sport and Developed a career at everything, but I love to fish. I love to fish for everything anything that pulls But right now it's really where where a lot of people are getting into bass fishing because it's hot Bastard start and move up shallow. That's where that's where you see big bass caught up in the shallows this time of Years why everybody gets so excited including me. I'm still like a kid during this time So today I'm going to do a little creek dangling probably gonna end up taking out the boat This afternoon, but right now I want to go check a creek Kind of was doing some reandering the other day and came across this creek on on a trail And it was muddy, but I think it's normally clear So I want to go out there take a couple of rides Just kind of trek got a backpack on right now just a little little bit of tackle in there And I'm I'm gonna go see what this creek looks like So let's get out there and see if she's clear muddy or it's got fish in it or not made it here I've got a couple of spinning rods a couple of favorite jack hammers Ready to put the hammer down hopefully and then back here. I've just got you know a little pack It's actually my hunting pack not very big doesn't hold too much. I just put together, you know couple of boxes And I've got new bass box bass mafia boxes by the way guys if you haven't heard We have Guggen's quad bass mafia boxes not in this size yet, but we have the 3700 size fully sealed latch with Guggen green with Inserts already applied, but this is one of the small ones perfect size for You know pawn hopping I actually use them for a lot of my crappie tackle and then just stuff like this So I've got a little jerk bait in there. I've got some small hooks I've got a couple spinner baits just got you know, I don't know what I'm gonna get into So if you watched my last video where I was fishing with flair We were actually catching bass and then a couple of really nice crappie up in the same spots up shallow And I have really been wanting to target crappie shallow ever since me and my dad got into those Monster black crappie up on Rainy Lake and Canada up shallow, you know, just bank fishing throwing throwing little Jigs up there and you could throw spinners up there a little little small road runners and things like that for crappie this time of year So I'm gonna be armed For the spring dangle if I'm bass fishing start catching crappie on crankbaits or jerk baits or whatever I'm gonna break out the crappie rod and I might just fish for them to begin with because they're delicious I've started fishing for crappie in the last few years and you know, I don't dedicate enough time to it I really really enjoy it, especially when I go out with my friends So I'm gonna try to figure them out a little bit more and give you guys some of the information I figure out So I'm armed for both whatever's back in here. You never know Okay, well we made it just a hair money. It's like I'm literally sitting on top of a beaver dam Perfect place for the old Copperhead be sitting just have a rooster tail tied on so Start with this This is looking like it's gonna be a weightless bait situation So I'm gonna keep moving Folks might know it as the old beetle spin Now this guy I'm gonna take this death stalker off. I'm gonna put it on a Niko hook Katana Niko hook. This is Something I got in my MTB box little finesse rigging Option here 10 pound Guggen fluoro carbon leader a little finesse hook right there That is such a simple rig spinning setup and then I've even got a little ring here This ring is perfect For putting on the slim shake slide that up till about the Not halfway, it's too skinny halfway. You want to go up a little bit farther on the meat and you take that Niko hook rig boom Perfect so that that slim shakes not gonna fall off Okay first cast with a slim shake I have a hundred percent just attracted a bass in Just barely saw it. I got a really high position Where I can see and I've got my polarized lenses on And a bass just came up in this corner. I just did a little Little test cast kind of worked it high at the surface. This fish is just coming up to make a bed. It looks like oh He's got it. Oh, he had it There I go, I don't know how that happened. We got a mess I don't know what that fishery was definitely seem like some bad behavior though. It's lining up with the conditions baby First bass on the old beetle hit it right underneath me Right on the bank a few little bass running around back here, okay another hook up looks like a What bass? This is what kind of goes on here guys these these white bass they need current to spawn So they will run up in these creeks Just like a bass will except they're really looking for more current than calm water And this is just kind of a little bend right here. I'm just gonna throw this beetle spin out see if I can Maybe hawk another one on this thing Man that felt good at first not so much now Unfortunately That's a goneroo. I'm gonna tie on a different little bait right here I'm gonna try that little square bill right there see what that does There we go hooked up like another white bass Kind of floating it up That's a big one. Must be a female Maybe just feeding up pretty cool. Y'all when they really get to running Up in the creeks. You can absolutely slay them. This is why I love creek fishing. I Mean you could just yeah, I could catch a catfish right now. I could look into a big old bass crappie You just don't know Hooked up again Another white bass. Oh, come here. Oh my gosh. It's a big one. Oh Come here, baby Olly That's a fun fight. Look how fat Not keeping you today Out in the middle of this channel. Oh my gosh, there they are Must be a ton of them out here Look at that now There you go. It's too. May have to go get my straggler, baby. Oh It's going off going off. Oh, there's a male. See that that milky white substance right there That is What you think it is That's how they make the babies pretty immediate reaction there It's like they're sitting out in this channel. Oh, they're coming to get it on top. I mean, there's Mm-hmm. This is what happens when you use like six pound breed You know what this is seriously like some it's like seven and a half pound breed or something Cast a country mile, but it's wrapped up. Oh Oh really bad Like a nice soft cast and stop it right there. We go. It's gonna get pounded boom Wow Found him running up here in the creek. God. These are just thick thick thick All right, so I don't have my stringer. I'm gonna catch a couple more of these guys and I'm Keep bouncing around. This is really fun though on this tackle I got these rods for finesse fishing in Canada a few years ago, and they are Phenomenal the favorite jackhammer series Actually could use this rod even crappie fishing. It's a six foot light action or medium light action perfect for for drop shots and just Throw in the weightless stuff and it's good for a lot of different Finesse purposes boom right there. Boom swirling on it. Boom Never use really light braid when cranking Just don't do it. Let's shut should be the lesson of the day tip of the day. Don't do that. Come on, baby Give it the old smack Boom golly, that was a big and I love when you pause a crankbait and just you see like The slack just get knocked in it. Oh Flashing at it if y'all aren't putting pauses in Your your techniques on any any kind of crankbait Do it. I mean, I know it's it's kind of a reel and retrieve thing But oh god it as you can see it just makes the fish react To your bait, you know, they look at it. They see it. They they even follow it. They're almost like a cat, you know And then they see it just pause for a second like oh man, it's wounded. I can I can grab that easily. This is my chance. It's Triggers something in their little Their little brains where they they have to at least take a strike at it Oh my gosh, that was a largemouth right there shoot Oh gosh, you grabbed it Saw that little guy Another one Man, there's just a certain direction. They like it Man, I love figuring fish out like that. I hate slinging fish and getting dirt on them It's embarrassing me to do that with you guys, but I got such a light tackle man. By the way, if you guys want to check out this rod, I will link it down below You won't be disappointed in it. It's uh, it's a higher end reel or rod But if you're looking for something really sensitive To throw lightweight stuff That's where a lot of people invest their money Up north and a lot of those lakes is for that not as much down here in texas. I mean, I I know the power of it and I utilize it, but It is a game changer When trying to detect those light bites when you're throwing finesse stuff and even just getting it out there You know, I can absolutely bomb this this little thing with light line 500 size reel not even using a thousand size reel So It is a it's a really good finesse combo Rod tip down let it get down Boom hit it I love you little guys. I could put you on the dinner table, but I'm not Just so I know I'm going to catch my limit Next time after I'm done Slaying the bass this spring Better believe I'm gonna get after those in the summer Oh, yeah, this is way Clear up here There's just so much brush Oh my god, there's one right here. There's one right here next to me Mm-hmm. Oh, he's taking a gander Taking a gander at me too Exciting time of year, but they can also be very finicky to catch right now Till they get locked on well, we are definitely in the midst Of a lot of fish. I'm just staring at Dozens of small bass moving through here And They're not here to feed Came to get these little guys to eat my worm Made it back to the treehouse y'all boy Let me tell you something. It's gotten heated up and I've gone to the flip flops and the shorts Uh, the fishing up in that creek pretty good. I mean the white bass action hot I haven't really done that a whole lot to be honest. We like fishing up in the creeks for white bass Lot of fun. Um, but what I saw with all those bass up there moving up in the shallows Literally starting to make their beds so cool. And I was not successful catching them I mean they were really getting locked on uh, or you know in that phase where they're starting to find their beds Not really locked on yet. So I didn't see any really true paired But what that makes me want to do is just go out to the main lake So I've got silver bullet hooked up right now And we're just going to go ahead out there.
