 All righty fish and freaks welcome on back to the channel we are giving it a dangle again over in ET but today we got a 2v2 going on in today's video sponsored by Mystery Tackle Box. If you're looking to grow your tackle arsenal MTB is the best way to do it and you're gonna pay a lot less than you would in the stores. I've been partnered with MTB for years they are a great partner and they also make the perfect gift for the fishermen in your circle. And after all these years I'm still surprised by all the new tackle that I see in the boxes every month. They have tons of connections in the tackle world now. In every box you're getting a great mix of hard bait, soft plastics, terminal tackle and you're even getting Guggen Squad hard baits and plastics in there so it is juicy. They have boxes for everybody whether you're a beginning fisherman or you're looking for that next level elite box and they have different species boxes as well so they've got you covered. So for as little as 20 bucks a month you get tons of new baits brand-name lures delivered straight to your door. So get started with your first mystery tackle box the link is down in the description guys. Use my code Mondo and you will save $10 off your first box. That is M-O-N-D-O. Thanks MTB for sponsoring today's video. Now on with the show. So this is actually our third leg of our ET journey. I'm finally feeling better and we are leaving Sam Raymond behind. We're heading back to Big D and we're gonna head up a lake on our way back. So you may run into the situation that we have in today's video where you get a big dump of rain, spring rains, they bring the wind, they bring the rain and they muddy up the water. So we're dealing with severely stained if not muddy water today a lot of wind and that really just leaves us with going to the bank. So here you go. We got well is it a competition? Is it a friendly cob? You want to do best three? We got scales. Best three fish. If you guys get on something serious let us know. We'll do the same. We just we just really it's time for Matt to catch a 10. I mean everybody else in the group has been catching 10. You might be in the wrong close to it. He's got a legit shot out here. Why it? How many tens have you seen out of this lake in the last two months? At least five. At least five. Like you've personally been involved. What's that? You've personally been involved. Been involved with three as a sharelunker caught that was registered the same the same week. They're like the week before. So this is day three. We're out here in ET. I usually do this every year if we've been hammering on them crappie but today I left the crappie sticks in the truck. Yeah they're in your book so it won't be a distraction for me. I'm going I'm going meat and potatoes, vibe jigs, lipless cranks, spinnerbugs, all that fun stuff you do March April out here in ET getting that grass and just winding grind for big fish so that's what we're gonna be doing. I'm trying to get that jump. All right so we've got the shaman and Matt heading out. Wyatt, what's the deal out here? What do you think? There's a deal. There was a lot of offshore. I say offshore. Mid-debt stuff, free spawners, staging areas. I was doing great offshore. We had a big storm roll through. Light came up, muddy water, rising water, mud always means, especially in March, we're gonna push shallow. I'm with Wyatt. I think it's gonna be shallow, beat the bank. Hopefully they're gonna be feeding today because it's windy. See the pines? It's doing more than whispering today. It's screaming pines and the last two days have been like sunny, high pressure. Today's a big bass feeding day. Let's go. So I want to say going to the bank really in this case we're talking about the dirt because the fish are going to sometimes move up into the newest, freshest water that they can that has cover, that has nutrients. The shad will often move up into these areas. You'll see they'll feed on all this new little stuff that's coming into the water. The bluegill will do the same thing and in turn the bass will go up there and feed on those baitfish. So this is pretty murky. Pretty usual. Oh there you go. Little buddy on the point. Skinny, oh my god, he's sick. Mally ain't blind as a bat. God, that's a bad one there. Poor dude. Somebody put him in the skillet. I won't make it very long. I don't want to land on a giant. Under the water we have some sparse hydrilla, some millfoil, and there's lily pad stems and that is really the key. I've seen this for years and years and years now. Probably 10 years of bass fishing during this time of year and in the fall where the lily pad stems are really key because they're I'm not sure whether they're making the hard bottom or they just grow around hard bottoms but bass really like that especially when things are you know silty they don't like real silty type conditions so those lily pad stems that just means that's well it's number one it's gets covered they can relate to and also harder bottom so fishing around those should be really productive in the spring and in the fall. 396 recorded first wayable fish. Here's the big key with fishing in severely stained or muddy water conditions. You've got to hit your target or you got to know where some targets are and you got to run that lure past it maybe multiple times. The fish might not even see it the first time but it's kind of a catch 22 because they're going to hold tighter to cover so you know it makes them more predictable where they're going to be but also you got to make some good cast and really present your bait by that cover. Things that are going to put out a big presence in the stained muddy water that's going to be your spinner baits that sound really good you got your vibe jigs you've got you know lipless crankbaits sometimes those can be a little fast so your crankbaits things that make rattles move a lot of water or any sort of plastic that's got this when you want to use your big chunky moving trailers that put out a lot of water dispersion and even have rattles in it so that would be the time is during these conditions. Oh I'm called 385. 385? 385 is fair. 96 385. Basically two four pounders which round up a hair. No kidding. You got any decent ones or what? No. A couple of decent's. Nothing crazy. What do you have? Two that's right under four. Like a 396 and a three. Well we got a 972 too but other than that no that's crazy. Derp's status right now sitting pretty. A couple of sub fours. One little I can't remember how big the other one was but I know we're doing better than the other team and it is just straight-up bank fishing. The key though is little lily pads that are submerged right now because the waters come up but those hard stems they usually provide a little hard bottom something for fish for light too and sometimes they get on pretty good. A little vibe jig, spinner bait, stuff like that will get through there swim jig. Good choices. Put the mark down. What's the what's the phrase for the mercury? Yamaha's put the hammer down. Mercury, hold the water. What is it? Is it something's over water? Mercury, stir s*** up. Yeah it's got it down just like that other one down the hatch. I know I was like dude this is gonna be it was just like that last one probably like 15 feet out. Hey should be a three pounder. That's a long fish right there. Third decent fish captured just over four pounds giving us about a 12 pound average on our three fish. Think me and Wyatt got this thing but you know they're allowed to pull some stuff out of their rear you know get lucky so we'll see this is Texas in March anything can happen but man this wind sucks pretty much the only thing you throw is like a moving bait you know spinner bait, vibe jig, lipless, up in the grass and you know just just hope you get through the stuff and don't get blown up. You just wait for the fish to latch on. That's it. That's pretty much it. You boys on a little program over here? I got a little swim bait action going. A little swim bait action? All right you got any Mondos? Like over five? Might have a little ball game. We got another one similar size 12 pounds probably. We got a tight race. Okay I'm intrigued. That's what I was coming to ask you. You know we got to drive home and all that stuff. I know. I'm good calling it I'm kind of interested to see what we got now. All right we'll do our little calculation we're gonna see who the winner is. Wish we had a camera in the other boat to see see that upgrade action. 12 out of 3. 12 out of 3. Wow. 12 out of 3. Pretty much 12 on the dot. Four pounds. It was a 420 something. Yeah. We had a 396 and a 385. So you basically had a five and some pretty good. Pretty good but not good enough. Why you're an aspiring pro. Your BFL angler of the year. Yeah man. So this is what you do every day. Yeah. So it's just another day but for me it was good. Yeah man I had a great time. It was a blast. Four pounders. Four pounders. No giants like this likes got you know. No true representation of giants it has. But hey just went through some drags that changes out of here so we did it with good. Cake plate. Cake plate. Good day. Just a friendly competition today but it always feels good to get that doubt that means less trash talking I have to put up with during the rest of the season.
