 Good morning y'all here at the tailgate It is a completely different ballgame today. I I just woke up here about 530 and the wind is ripping So I just packed up the truck Today we're going to a new lake is going to be different But I think with this warm night with a lot of winds these big ones are going to be up shallow and they're gonna be Crunchy in so let's head out to the water list meet my buddy Shane He's pretty dialed with the bite over here. He's got a big boat So we can accommodate for the waves and the wind today. We'll put the crispy on pause We'll go fishing his boat and we'll try to catch some bigs in the wind We'll show you some tactics that will hopefully work for catching these things When the wind is ripping so typical spring day in Texas. It's gonna blow Ladies and gentlemen, we are floating and we are on board Cap and Shane's vessel right here in the flesh this this man right here. I've probably Known each other for about eight years vibe jigs more vibe jigs Lipless crankies things with lips things without lips things with lips and then some sort of Jiggy McClastic Magoo Yeah Big fish stuff big cricket stuff this water that we've got here is pretty stained worse than yesterday So I'm gonna think I'm gonna stay with my color choice on my vibe jig flaming hot Happy trailer on the back there. It's just bright. It's like hey. I'm a beacon come eat me. I'm hot It's a cold morning. You want to flame and hot in your face Hopefully that's gonna happen, but we got plenty of backup tackle tackle totes Still available goods. What I got Sure this ride would have taken about 30 minutes, but I think we arrived in about three minutes Here spotted got a little choppier than I realized as we were you know Hadn't had him with the wind down late a few miles. This is It's a really good place to start start looking this time of year The beginnings of the creeks work your way in there, especially when the day gets later the water starts warming up but Got a little little cold morning a little breezy, and you got maybe some wood or some grass mouth of those trees got wind blowing on it with a Get them moving baits out there get to whining and grinding before you get all excited on your plastics I got the LVS 34. Is that is that all you do? Yep, I got two of them. I got a 34 forward and a 34. Can I do it on the echo map? Okay, no this you're honestly the first person I've been in the boat with that runs really that runs that yeah Everybody else just just a scope just a scope and my gosh. Look at the bait pod Okay folks at home. This is a Do thing buddy. I'm watching. I'm watching a master here Look at look at these fish and look at the bait pods. I've never I've honestly never run perspective mode dude on the garments This is awesome. You're missing out But I could see where you kind of need both right like this is all you need right here. Yeah. Yeah, this is it You just boom boom you're done. This is the setup. This is it. This is the key Because you'd have to flip this thing around Yeah, you have to pull your trolling motor flip. Yeah, sir. You want the double you want. Oh my gosh You just made me want to spend 10 grand Oh No, we're just lost in the matrix these days We are we are Tell us stop This is what we got to live with just roamers getting ready. These are roamers getting ready 56 This is this is good temperatures for For those moving baits to start start kicking in cranks and these pennies. Oh Gosh speaking of wolf packs Look at these shad getters Now can you see your lure on perspective when it comes through? You're you're just looking for cover that you missed and a potential pack of fish on that perspective This is why I like to get in the boat with you man You when I first started fishing with you you were like kind of learning offshore fishing a little bit Yeah, and you literally dedicated You've dedicated like a couple of years to really get dialed and you are absolutely dialed my friend I was thinking yesterday it'd be interesting It'd be an interesting video concept be entertaining to take like one of the one of the good Electronic readers on tour and pair them with like a high school kid Give the high school kid this The the probe gets Only 2d in a map and just put them put them on the light for a day and see what happens What do you think so there's some high school kids that that they grew up on this they're really good Yeah Couple of random roamers, but no no big juice. He's on the flats. We're not gonna waste time here say that's my biggest flaw in Fishing if I was gonna fish tournaments is like no one Yeah, I I'm one of those guys where I like I want to catch a fish off every bank and I'll sit there and just try a bunch of stuff and Waste a bunch of time. Oh, he's a shallow guy for sure We use it obviously, but we're not like Trolli motor down You find stuff and then we use it to like There's one. Yeah, buddy There she blows First first catch of the day on the clutch He got it he got it a little bit he ate it head first Actually had it in his heels Sorry, buddy. Sorry you You absolutely throttled that thing in your to your gill plates He'll be okay. Let's help him out a little bit. Give him some cosmetic Reconstructive surgery there we go All right, first one of the day on the old fire truck chatter Bogola got me one Come here, buddy. Come here, you old mudfish Got that old vibrant color on there. Here we go a little better fish Nice chunky two and a quarter Two and a half probably just died Time Wendy Bank Grassy we're gonna get a big bite here in a minute. Raj is gonna We're going my stuck in the grass No, it's head shakes There's another one. Oh, it feels big too He done he done started pulling Hang on now. Oh shoot. There I go That guy I mean he got it down broke. Yeah, buddy Get up in here. That's fresh 20 pound line reaction. Right. There we go There you go Red lipped beauty. I mean he got it Mmm, put that spotlight on something but About to turn that program on So that's that's two on a on a vibe You're throwing in an old-school bait an oldie, but a goodie a plug an L-lipped plug Folks at home may not even know what that is I don't even know if I should show them No So that's the old ET seeker Drain dwellers. All right. No, we need another one of these flaming hot Cheetos Flaming hot omnidirectional. Look at this thing there This thing is pure pleasure pure pleasure for your vibrating jig Well Tell you something, okay, you know, there's a little difference between two three-pounder Five to eight pounder not to say Another one watch how fast I pick up that tatter Half-hounds What was that I got three no this motor literally looks like the head of Who's the The airplane bad guy transformers star Star something Yeah, what's his name? Well, you got Megatron But his his little sidekick buddy That's the like the fighter jet Starscream Looks like the head of Starscream Starscream Punt and go I'm up for options. Tell me your thoughts Cleaner water possibly much cleaner Dude, let's do it. You know, we're gonna go from clean Water is the D a lot muddier than we were expecting Not getting that hog jam or bite man, I mean We're seeing him and we're seeing him and there's where they're supposed to be with a any I think it has to do with the water being real muddy. We're gonna make a little move here To some clear water punting one thing that is always crazy about the springtime. It's different every day Fish are changing. They're getting ready to spawn. Maybe they're done spawning. There's things changing It's changing every hour even When it really gets going so Let's switch it up guys. I'm just feeling I'm feeling new fresh water. Let's get out of here Completely new lake out here. This place is green versus brown Which is what we wanted to see what I like about this clear water clearer water is that you can you can slow down You have way more options You can throw more finessey stuff your plastics your jigs things like that Whereas in that muddy water, you kind of just have to bonk them on the head This is like where they were yesterday. I'd be like right when you get into a little Yeah, a little pouch There goes that one just the worm, but you know how it is We've all been there My wacky worm has done flown off y'all So I'm gonna take that as a sign that I need to just throw this little slimmer on Cover a little more a little bit more water the wind is pretty Not fun right now. I'm not gonna lie I'm gonna throw this on a spinning gear setup 15 pound fluoro leader 20 pound main line old Gator boy. He is He's come out of his little Cove there say hello. He just he just dipped Look at this action son. Oh That little hunt that little body roll She's got some sexy moves All right, we're taking a Quick tip break. It's a little thing, but it's one of those little things that help so I am trying to throw this little swim bait in these pad stems and You know just kind of sparse grasses and things like that this baits great for doing that it's slim It comes through there very well That's one of the reasons I wanted to throw this over like you know a chowder bait or a Crank bait or something so I can get it through as you can see I've got I've got some grass right here on my hook And that's a pain. That's a pain when You're fishing this bait So you don't get snagged and that kind of stuff But then something gets snagged on the front and then it looks ugly and fish aren't gonna bite it And a lot of times you don't even really feel it It's not enough on there to really affect the feel of the lure What I have tied on here my knot is a uni knot and I tie this for most of my fluorocarbon But there's a few Circumstances where I don't like this knot and this is one of them the tag end is coming out of the front I don't know if you guys can see that but it's it's coming out the front there and that little nugget on the front is gonna catch Slightly on the grass and then it'll drag a piece off with it the other knot that I like to tie It's not as strong as a uni, but it is cleaner not in terms of getting through grass Is just your old I think it's just a tri-ling knot That's how I learned the name of it's probably got many different names So I think it's called a fisherman's knot as well. It's a very simple knot You can spin your bait up like this or you can just sit there and you wrap up the line with your tag in And you can do a double version of this as well. I'm just doing the simple version Just five or six times whatever then you go back through that hole there and it's going to put Some weakness into your line at the base of the knot just the way it kind of constricts down But if you notice the tag end is facing Down towards the bait So I'm gonna I'm gonna leave a little bit of length there and now if you notice that tag end is Is basically going right back into the plastic. So when I'm coming through grass It's going to slide off of that and that little tag is not gonna get caught. So I like this for swim jigs I like this for little swim baits like this weightless plastics Even anything that'll get snagged in the grass like that that you don't want to get get hung up So just a little tip of the day Now let's get a fish online I Cranked him dude. I see a lot of a lot of tail Biteage, but he did have he had it good enough. He was up there Hooked up Yeah Little male boy looking up there. Oh No, he did He did Look at how you chomp that saucy. So I did something here That was good as an initial idea, but bad for the landing Stuck a bow more nose button in here To prevent this bait from sliding down getting stuck hook from being exposed But it prevented it from really sliding up and getting a good gap on that hook set Now if I would have tournament mode I could have slung him earlier not not played him out. We would okay, but I Was an error on my part little male cruisers Companion mailman, yeah Looking for a friend Oh go all that one rocked my dude That could have been a crappie Jire rated chips. It was twice twice. I let him Let him kind of lick on it for a second thinking you get it Good one fall in the jerk bait Interested but kind of like cats It's like a cat with a laser pointer She came up four feet All right, what's the deal here buddy, what do you what are you thinking what's going on? I mean, what's the hottest bait in fishing right? You're not gonna do it. You're not gonna do it I'm not gonna let you bro. I can't let you go down that path bro. You're going crappie fish There's the fairy sticks You're supposed to not catch a fish be a man My good friend and mentor is His crappie fishing all the cool kids are doing it fish sees it crappies are coming Crappies are coming. He's crappie fishing Those are your blue girl probably Come on son, there he is. That's a good now. You gonna sling him Sling him dude Here's my boy. There's my boy slinging in a decent there. She blows. All right. Yes I kind of called that although it's not a big and it's nice one though It was a very nice one and you did call it and you didn't catch it on last go No chunk and wind There we go, baby Pretty let's go Add that to the the satchel for the day. It's actually not not terrible See what they have to say about that King Kong ain't got nothing on me Some good ones out there Back in the heyday boy Back in the heyday. Oh There he is son There he is. Come on in here son. Come up in here There I go Come here. I'm not trying to flay you That gun boy. Look at that. Just nose gripped it Got dangerous on There's a quality bite There she blows Nice That's a good smelling grass fish right there. We're gonna let it go just fishing on this windy point with the L dangerous See my guy that was fun. Just reel it in along to fishing with a big raw Is that a pocket size or there's a pocket bath? Oh Is that the day ender I mean you're over here throwing a seven inch sal dangerous, and I'm throwing a 2.8 Catching. Oh Pocket guy that fish is literally like the size of my swim bait actually it is. Where's your swimming? It's right here pretty much Pretty much You may go now they go Man, we've been working hard for these bites out here today. I think we're gonna take it in though We got a podcast to do Okay, I'm gonna be a guest an honored guest Haven't been out here in a while wanted to catch up wanted to a pod and do a little fishing with My boy shame the bayou classic hot that is a fryer ladies and gentlemen We're off the water just had a little dinner Had a little dinner at Rayward country if you know what that's about big Durban town right now big toyota series in town Yoda Yoda and actually uh My buddy's dirt partner. He's uh, he's in third right now. Is that right? Is that how it ended up? Is 2614 Anyway, this is uh, this is the juice podcast. We're gonna talk about fishing. They talk about deep dangling secrets Industry stuff. Maybe just some life stuff. Who knows so if you want to tune in the juice Tell them where to see it hear it Uh, the juice podcast the juice podcast. Where do you download it? Uh, youtube or youtube only now because that's all that counts. Okay youtube only all right the juice Welcome to my lair We finished the podcast a little while ago And uh, I basically just drove over to a little Stay-apart type area $14 y'all Pretty cheap pretty cheap little stay It is just warm though. We're in the 60s And that the fishing just is weird that it can be so just so good or just off Before they really move up on the beds So I've got a lot of positive Feedback about where I'm gonna go tomorrow. So the next video we're going to a place I've never fished before But it's a river system And it should be just down and dirty just pitch and flip and throw in the meat and potatoes And key takeaways from today the lessons Leading banks these these grass lines They're like little highways and these fish are just cruising in and out of there. It doesn't mean They're gonna eat But they're using those areas the vibe jig was good Uh, we caught them on the saucy slimmer today when it got the water was clear Did get a good one on the uh, the sal dangerous But it's just not quite there yet. I'm hoping tomorrow. We're just gonna get Just get nasty with them and we still got another lake We're gonna visit to do some crappie fishing as well So I will see you soon on the next adventure in the great outdoors Good night for now. It's me in the 60s tonight. It's hot in here It's crazy
