I greatly appreciate it Let's go ahead and hop into this as we just got to our first spot We're starting off with this little Texas rig Got a little curly tail worm on here. We're gonna see if we can get a couple fish in the boat real quick I have a spot in mind that I really want to go to But I was like why not stop at this spot. I think we can get a few fish in the boat right off the rip And then go over there. It has been pretty cold this last week. I don't know how these fish are gonna act and Yeah, we're gonna figure out What's going on today and hopefully put a lot of fish in the boat. That's the game plan I really want to give us a big ones too. I feel like this time of year Is when I end up catching a lot of the bigger ogeechi bass So we might have some good luck today as far as size goes We're just gonna have to cover some water put our heads down And see what we can do Hey, this is Calvin and this is slap man Yeah, we just got to our second spot that that first spot was kind of a miss, but it was worth trying I just hope the fish is not ultra tough. I think we're gonna catch them pretty good in here I haven't hit this spot on this tide in a very very long time like probably eight months So I'm just gonna be kind of hunting around But I think we can catch a few here and I think we have a better opportunity of hooking a big one The last time we came here one of the last ogeechi videos I did lose a couple fish that were really good. So we might be able to catch us a few Tanks real quick. I saw I'm hoping I want to see a big and they should be here, man Should technically be right there on this point. I mean this water is pretty low right now There should be at least one fish sitting right there. I Can't believe something didn't slap my hand right there. I really thought That was it Holy cow that was a bite bro like that thing Vibrated all the way down to my toes. This is what we need to do guys My guts telling me should I rig it up on a spinning combo? So this bait and I'm about to tie up is some juice out here. I caught a lot of big ones on it last year And it has to be this massive. No, I'm kidding not this All right I'm gonna cut this off though. You know what I'm about to tie on cutting. Come on, dude Can you guess? It's a great bait Yeah, I think they're gonna eat it. Yeah, I think that's the money I need so in the reason I'm saying I Think they'll eat it is because I've only had one bite today, right? The bite that I had and I can't really judge the whole day off of one fish But I can't put a little bit together I will say with the fluke I can skip it way under these trees I can get it in the right spot not only that but with that one bite that I had He wasn't wanting to hold on to it I'd rather put something in front of his face that I can twitch and give some sporadic movement and kind of trigger Him trigger him to eat that rather than dragging a worm to where he can kind of be picky So I think the move is to put on this fluke we can skip under these lay downs real good right now it's a being low tide and I think it's gonna entice some of those bass especially the finicky ones to kind of fire off on the bait and commit So that's the game plan We're gonna put on this weightless fluke and we're gonna start casting this around a good bit Last year, you know, I came in here with a weightless fluke and caught multiple four-pounders So maybe that's the way that we're gonna get some big ones a bite right now Let's give it a shot Oh, I just have one right there, buddy that literally that quick you grab you grab me Luke is a killer bait on these rivers and I haven't thrown it in a minute for some reason It is definitely a fish killer out here These fishes might be towards the mouth where I had the bite. I got a couple ditches. I think we could go hit right outside of this It's time of year then ditches get really good too, especially on this low tide. They kind of stack up in that deep Deepness of it. I mean there should technically be a bass right here There should be a couple bass up there Could be a bass right here too And this is like you got all this current flowing out and we're only on a foot of water, but it rides this bank edge So these fish just sit here on any of these little current breaks or under any of these lay downs and be able to ambush the bait There should be some on this bank, huh? How it lays out it's like a little flat right here gets a little deeper on the edge has cover Maybe I just need to work it slower All right guys, so we just learned something which is awesome. I'm not mad that we didn't catch any fish yet These fish aren't in the creeks right now the water's too low. It's lower than I thought Those fish are gonna be in the main river. So we're gonna go head out. There's a few ditches. I have in mind We're gonna go hit those ditches and I think we're gonna pull up and we'll get them right away That's not that one dude. He choked that fluke bro. That's exactly what I want to see right now That's a fat guy. He's not big, but look how chunky that monkey is right there Look at that He's a monkey dude. It's not a bass Thought this was a pass. Did you really think this was a bass? I was thinking it was a monkey. I mean, I thought it was a dog, but you reassured me These fish are so funny out here, man. We talk about it all the time, but look how small his mouth is man That's a good little bass. I mean, he's not big dude, but like What a brute that sucker was chomping on that fluke. That's a good sign. So guys we went up river You know, we're trying some different spots It just wasn't happening and I knew that these fish were gonna be on the main river once we hit that first spot So I was like, you know what? Let's go hit some main river stuff. So we went to our, you know, our original stuff and how long we've been here Cody Two cast yeah, I end up hooking one. So that's a good sign. I think we're about to get on them So stay tuned. It's gonna be good hit the like button. I appreciate y'all. Let's do it I ended up breaking off that Texas rig, you know, I've been thrown around that fluke And I just I don't know I couldn't get anything to really pull the trigger on it I caught that one fish at that one Cypress tree But that spot right there, I usually get a bite and most of the time I miss the fish But the spot that I'm sitting on right now I'm not gonna say it's hit or miss. It usually always has one Cody, right? Yeah, usually always one here So I can't say it's hit or miss. It's hit or miss depending on how many fish I catch Like sometimes I'll pull up catch one or two or three Sometimes I'll pull up and catch ten, but I haven't had a bite So I think we need to switch to this Texas rig And really try that out real quick. So we're gonna tie one up Are you about to let me tie a hook Cody without a weight? Is that what I just witnessed? Hey, what kind of friend are you? I'm here for the blooper You just gonna watch me do all that. I Do that a lot more like I've done that a lot. I've done it a few times. Yeah, it happens The worst whenever you just broke off and you know, there's a fish there You're like trying to hurt you're trying to get back to the spot. Yeah, and you you tie it on you like at that point You might as well put a weightless sink or a weightless flu gun Let's talk about today let's talk about what's going on Let's talk about what we could do better and how we can get on these fish because I'm gonna tell you We haven't been out here too long when we come out on there and get you we're usually out here between an hour and three hours you know but It has not been happening and I just got to owe up to it. I'm not catching the fish right now I don't know why but we're about to figure out why so we have a great little talking point That we're gonna harp on for a minute And maybe you guys can get some value out of this Maybe we're gonna learn about it today because maybe we're gonna do this and then it's gonna turn our day around And we're gonna start catching some good fish So let's kind of recap on what we did We went up river. We hit a creek The water was lower than I thought okay We didn't have any bites in that creek except for one Well that told me these fish are out in the main river Then we started hitting some main river stuff first spot We pulled up to second cast we caught a fish caught him on a fluke. He had to react to that I wasn't working it slow. I was really moving it Okay, so that makes sense We hit a couple more main river spots Nothing, which is crazy to me We did have a big cold front blow in in the last few days and these fish are shaking up The water trim temps have dropped a lot since the last time I've been out here And I just think these fish are not active. They're really not feeling it. So in my head When I have a super tough day You would think that you want to throw a worm you would think you want to throw something slow to where you Can present it right in front of their face But that's just not the thing today So I'm thinking in my head What can we do to trigger a fish to bite because at the end of the day this river does not change much between spring Summer fall and winter it doesn't change much these fish are at these locations that we're going to we know this river very well I know where the fish sit when I come out here. I know exactly where we're about to catch the fish So they're seeing our bait, but they're not wanting to eat So what we're about to do is I'm going I'm going to tie on a spinner bait. What is a spinner bait? It's a reaction bait You got a couple big blades on it one is going to put off a Little bit of sparkle with that Sun being out today in two is going to put off a lot of vibration It's going to put off a lot of thump not only that but that baits going to be moving the whole time So the reason we're going to tie on a spinner bait right now is because we want to go past that fish's face and Irritate him we want to fire him off to bite our bait if we present a worm or if we present a fluke in front of this Face they might just look at it, but they don't want to commit or maybe they'll just nibble at it If I put a spinner bait or a crankbait or something that is a little more aggressive and fast-paced in front of their face It can create that reaction bite even if the fish is slow bass our predators So bass react to things. That's why you can twitch something really fast and then have a fish eat it It's because they can't take it. They if they see something going crazy. They have to eat it That's just how that is a bass the basses first instinct is to trigger off on something So we're going to put on a reaction bait. We're going to throw this spinner bait around Laydowns we're going to throw it around current breaks. We're going to throw it on the main river And we're going to see if we can fire up some of these fish We might even go fish some of the spots that we hit before to try to prove this concept There's not many days that we come out on the water to where we're just not catching fish and today has to be one of Those days Cody you've been working with me for a year now How many days have we gone out and just haven't had much luck like today? I think one one time and like that's impressive, bro. Like I have to give us props to that because You know this is a part of fishing you're going to go out and it's going to be tough sometimes But today it is ultra tough and we're going to put our heads down in this last hour or so and Really focus on what we can do better and try to learn something today And I hope you guys learned something too and if you've already learned something this far in the video Hit the like button. It really helps your boy out. I greatly appreciate it Well, let's go ahead and hop into this grab our spinner bait box see what we want to put on I'm going to talk about the color why I want to put that color on and we're going to hop into it And maybe we can turn our day around just like that. So let's do it All right, here we go. We got our spinner bait box right here So when it comes to picking out spinner baits, we got a bunch of different options in here Actually, I have different buzz baits With this water out here being in a river it's slightly murky, but it has that clear Tent to it as well. It's more brackish water. I guess that's the best way You know that brackish water looks what what's the name? What's the word? I'm looking for tannic water It's got that brownish tint to it with that being said I kind of want to use something That's a little brighter. I want to put chartreuse in this bait. So we got a few spinner baits in here I'm going to actually pull this one out This is by striking if you guys want to check out any of the striking baits I have a discount code down below in my link as well You guys can go in the description box and click on that But this is a half ounce spinner bait by striking. This is white and chartreuse It's got a gold blade and then a silver blade. These are both willow leaves a little less thump We're gonna tie this thing on and I go from there. So that white and chartreuse action I've had a lot of luck on that on the rivers out here. I think that's a great overall spinner bait color Has to be one of my favorites. So that's that's what we're going with today pretty little bait and Yeah, we're about to get the work guys. We're gonna cast this around a lot We're gonna hit a lot of spots really quick. We're not gonna spend a ton of time on these spots We're gonna throw this in the hot zones to where I think bass are gonna sit in the current breaks on the opposite side of the logs Big old brush piles We're gonna throw this thing in and work it really slow and the trick of the spinner bait is to let this bounce off The cover because that's what's gonna end up creating that reaction bite for the bass So let's go ahead and hop around we're gonna hit a lot of spots and let's see if we can fire These fish up today and learn something. I don't like how this current is pushing me up in this Biggin. Oh, I'm not big enough. Okay. Okay. That the way that that sucker loaded up on it. Cody What is this five cast in brother? You switch it up we live and we learn and we're showing it to y'all today, so we all learning in this video look at that Look at that man. Isn't that rewarding? Yep. That's that's what you got to do guys We're just talking about it when I threw that cast up there one thing that I like Paid attention to is I threw it up there and I let that bait fall just a little bit So when that bait was falling this blades were fluttering and then I had a good like steady retrieve and that's when he hit it All right, y'all we're sitting down and I Wouldn't say I'm mad at myself, but man, it was a tough day I only caught two fish like this doesn't happen often like when me and Cody come out the film We're filming the film of video whether we catch them or not. We're filming a video And we've just had a great year like 2021 was an awesome year for fishing We only had like one day to where we like it was like this and you know, that's just the reality of fishing You're gonna go out sometimes and you're not gonna catch him. You're gonna go out and have a struggle I know we weren't out here long if we were out here all day, it would be a different story I believe when we tied on that spinner bait that that was exactly what this fish wanted We caught a fish right off the rip with it, but I think the problem was You think we tied it on a little too late I think we tied it on a little too late and I think that we missed the tide the water already came up What Cody like four foot? Yeah fast boom like that like when the water goes out. It's more gradual when the water comes up it's like that man and It just caught us off guard But guys I wanted to post this video to show you guys the reality of fishing This happens to everybody and don't feel bad if you go out and have a rough day because it happens to every fisherman out There and I hope you guys got some tips out of this video, you know I learned a lot today Even though we didn't really get to put that spinner bait to work that we figured something out with that and it was Just too late with how the water level was changing but I hope you guys enjoyed this one if you did please hit the like button if you could hit that subscribe button if You haven't already share this video with a friend get somebody new in the fishing I love you guys so much and I'll catch y'all in the next
