 Got him. Oh my god. There's a freaking gate on this. Oh My god Got the ball boys Hey, yo, what's going on guys welcome to another video? I'm so excited to bring this one to you guys today because a lot of people have asked for it And they've actually asked for this video for like the past couple of years and I have yet to do I have no idea why I was like, I'm gonna go do it today Because people will take a lot of value out of this video and it's cool because no one does it like I have a boat guys I fish on a boat a majority of the time But I try to bring you guys pond fishing videos on tip videos And now I'm gonna start trying to do bank fishing videos off the lake because I think that'd be really cool If you guys want to see some more of these be sure to pep the like button up and also stay tuned to the end of the Video so you get a lot of value out of this and hopefully we'll catch a big bass today But let me explain what we're doing if you guys look out here. We are at a marina today We're at a beautiful marina And we're gonna be doing some bass fishing so I have about three poles rigged up On the baits that I think are gonna work today As into the conditions as you guys can tell very cloudy outside. I mean very cloudy It's complete opposite of bluebirds guys today. Let me check the temperature out here so I could tell you it is not It's not really cold at all. It actually feels pretty good 53. So 53. We don't have too much wind Let's see what it says eight mile an hour wind and it's very cloudy. So Pretty decent conditions. We're gonna see what we can do Lake Lanier is a whole different animal people Lake Lanier is a lake where all the fish especially this time of year. It's a spotted bass fishery But there are some large mouth here as well So the fish pretty much this time of year get in ditches and they go really deep So when you're on a boat, it is a lot easier to catch them So with me analyzing that and being like, you know what the spots are gonna be out deep I was like, where can I go where I can catch large mouth and I came to this marina today I know there's a big population of large mouth of caudalai here. There's some big ones here I know a few tournaments have actually been one out of here a few years back From some big large mouth and I just know that they live here. So in large mouth, they're totally different than spots You know, they're they don't mind going up shallow. They can stay shallow year round That's just how large mouth are spotted bass are a lot more sensitive to the weather and on the time of year and conditions as in Water temperature and that whole deal. So come over here and I'll show you guys what we're working with So as you guys can tell we got all these, you know, boat docks right here. This is a whole marina There's just gonna be a ton of fish under those docks fish live under the docks I mean year round you can catch fish on docks When I usually fish docks is usually when the sun's high and the fish can obviously hide under there And get up under those docks, but fish are under there year round even every single day Even when it's cloudy like today and as you guys can tell there's a lot of rocks right here And there's gonna be fish on these rocks already know 100% If you guys didn't know comparing spotted bass to largemouth largemouth love, you know, wood They love cover that laydowns in the water Trees and that whole deal spots. They love rock. That's pretty much how you can That's how you can, you know, spread them apart spots really really love rock largemouth really really love wood Does that mean a largemouth's not going to be on that doesn't not does not mean that but spots love rock largemouth love wood All right spots on Lakeland near love brush piles They hang out on brush piles out deep and you can catch a lot of good fish very productive way As long as you're fishing at the right time of year that means said there's a lot of largemouth back here So I know there's going to be some tucked in these rocks still there is some laydowns and some trees over on this other side I cannot fish that from the bank. So I'm going to be fishing, you know All one of these docks my dad actually has my parents have a pontoon Um, I wanted these docks so I can actually get on one of these and fish so that is going to be great We're going to try to fish on these rocks. I just noticed there's a keep off rock sign And yeah, this does not look like the best area to attempt to climb these rocks because I'm falling break my butt And I really don't want to fall and break my butt today. I want to make a cool video for you guys So I don't know it's going to be hard. We're probably going to have to fish off the docks like this and cast Parallel with the rocks, which is very important. We're going to talk to you later in this video and try to catch fish But let's go ahead and go over to my rods. I'm going to show you guys what I have rigged up So I was trying to think, you know, it was winter time. What baits are going to work good? What am I going to be fishing here? And that's the most the biggest the most important thing So, you know, I got some docks. I tied me on a jig just in case I got me some rocks. So I got me on a jig just in case I got me a jerk bait, which I love throwing across rocks I don't know if you guys saw my linear video off the boat, which was Week and a half ago, we could go something like that I killed him on a jerk bait, caught some largemouth and then I had this little dt6 This is actually an older version. That's going to be great on those rocks as well So we got two moving baits that we can work past here We got the crank bait, which we're going to be consistently reeling looking for that active fish And then that jerk bait is something that we could actually pause and pull around with If we want to slow our profile and then I have this old jig just to slow down if I have to And I can throw on the rocks. I can skip this under the docks and do a little bit of everything with this thing So that's that's going to be a major key today if the fish aren't wanting to eat those moving baits But I got one more bait now. Let me grab it real quick. So this is my last bait I do not have it on a pole because I didn't have enough rods of me today to put it on But we are going to fish it today I'm going to break down the water and show you guys how I'm fishing today And then we're going to move over to this and I'll explain that later in the video Why I'm not starting off with it and why I'm going to start off with you know The crankbaits and that whole deal but that's going to be a killer today too This thing catches so many fish my favorite bait out here and we're going to set it on my tire Let's just pray that I don't forget that and I actually use this today. That'd be okay So let's go ahead grab a pole start fishing and I'm going to show you guys why I'm starting with what I'm starting with And that whole jazz and deal and that whole deal and stuff pepper the like button up You guys want to see some more videos like this. So I was actually wanting to fish from here But I just realized that I just don't even know if I could get a hook in a fish from here I mean look how freaking high I am from that rock I don't know. This is uh It's pretty risky. I'm sure we'll do it a few times today But I think we're going to start down here at the base of it and just cast towards it Because when it's important when fishing riprap walls like this to cover a lot of water and be really effective It's to throw parallel And if I'm throwing parallel, I'm going to be so high. I just don't know if I can get hooks in the fish So I'm probably going to start down here and throw to it and see how that works So this is what we're going to start off with this little jerk bait. This is a megabass 110 plus one So it's going to go slightly deeper as you guys can tell by the little lip on that thing It's a little natural color. It's got a little bit of translucent as well Just seems to be great on there. I'm going to start fishing these rocks right here. I'm kind of very I'm very excited for this. I usually fish from the boat Or I'm pond fishing. This is a whole different story and I'm kind of excited I want to see if we can hook a big large enough today. That would just be amazing Ooh, that would be good But I'm going to start fan casting this bank with this jerk bait We're going to start off with this and see if we can get a big bass Thing is they roam so hard and these clouds get out So it's good to fish these rocks, but the fish are probably going up and down. I'm looking for bait So everybody I just switched over to This little jig right here. I was throwing a jerk bait And I covered all this water up here on these rocks And now I'm switching over to, you know, a slower bait that I can really work on them Really break down these rocks on the side and see if these fish just aren't that active And that'll pick up something that's a little bit slow moving and a jig on rock is a great bait, especially this time of year I don't know if you guys know, but when the sun gets up, which today is not when it beams on this rock Boat ramps anything with like concrete or rock It actually heats up a lot quicker So that time this time of year fishing rock can be really productive if you hit it the right day Today is really cloudy, which especially on the near and any other lake is going to make this fish more scattered And they're going to be roaming a lot more So my goal is to, you know, work down these rocks and these fish are just going to be roaming the bank looking for bait fish Looking for stuff to chew on and I'm hoping that, you know, we can run into a few that are actively feeding Oh my god He was freaking behind it Oh man, he's about two and a half pounds See if we can get him to bite Oh man, he swirled right behind it. He never hit it My main purpose of this video is to teach you guys how to catch fish off the bank and find productive areas So my biggest my my biggest tip overall I have a few that I really want to give you but the biggest tip is Wherever you're fishing, whatever lake I don't know if you guys know, Licklanders are very hard, very tough fishery But if you can find marinas Because the biggest thing is, you know, when you're fishing from the bank, you can't just go To any bank on the lake and catch fish just like if you're on a boat Like it takes a lot of trial and error to really find those fish But there's one place on the lake that has one a lot of cover A lot of structure and this is a marina, you know, marina is known to have fish every lake I've been to I catch fish in marinas. I mean, they just fish live in marinas. Um, and sometimes a lot of big fish But as you guys can tell you know, there's rock right there You got a ton of docks. I mean you have all this cover that these fish can hide around Most of the time this marina right here is actually fairly deep, which is perfect for what I'm doing If you're looking for a location to fish on a lake, be sure to go look on your map Find a good marina that has a lot of water that you can cover that maybe has some rip wrap or some lay downs Whatever it is and go fish that that's where you guys need to target to fish Obviously you can go find some other areas on the lake to catch fish But marinas would be where I would start and be your best bet defining fish or even by bridges You know bridges are good as well. We'll film another video on that fishing about bridges Those are all good areas that you can really find some fish. So I was throwing this crankbait. I just said screw it I was like screw this we're gonna start paralleling this and I actually did have a bite He came up and he tried to eat it and he just swirled on it He was like two and a half pounds He's actually a fat spot and this is kind of what I wanted to talk about So you guys can see right here I can't walk down these rocks because obviously I'd fall then die and break my butt So that's just that's out of the equation So if you're fishing from the bank like if you're actually on the bank not standing on a dock Say you're just standing on the end of those rocks throwing it around all around here I highly suggest starting with a bait that you can cover, you know parallel to those rocks So say I started off with this crankbait You're going to want to throw parallel with those rocks And try to catch as many fish as you can on the bank after you throw this and cover the water Pick up your jig throw it on those rocks a little bit And then after you fished all those rocks that are closest to you Work your way out some more and by that I mean after you fish, you know parallel close to the bank Start throwing out from the bank and start fishing that way The reason I say that is because if you walk on the end of these rocks and you start casting out and you hook a fish out here What's going to happen is you're going to catch this fish and you're going to spook all the fish on the bank So it's very important to right when you get on those rocks to not start throwing out But to actually cover you know on the bank first because those fish Are going to get spooked if you hook a fish out here and drag it by them So that's very very important. That is that is a very Key step to catching more fish, you know when you're on the bank because if you just threw out and caught a fish And then got them in and you spooked all the fish on the bank You could have caught five fish, you know what I'm saying instead of just catching that one You could have caught five So when you get down there make sure you fish closest to you and then start working your way out in the column So right here fish the rocks Then fish like halfway out maybe with the jig or something Then maybe you pick up this fish head You want to cast it all the way out all the way out over here And then you're really covering the water you're laying it down and you're not spooking the fish That is probably the biggest tip that I can give you for bank fishing, especially the lakes Very very important very very important to catching a lot of fish So what I want to do here. I've been covering water with this bait So I've been standing on the docks. I've been throwing parallel with that bank taking that rock I've actually been sticking my pole through these little things right here So I can actually bring my bait loads to where I'm hitting those rocks and as you guys can tell on the bill right there It's it's pretty knocked up for me. You know keeping contact. That's very important with the crankbait by the way And uh once I parallel those rocks what I'm going to do is I'm going to take this fish head And I'm going to start fan casting out So pretty much I'm going to be covering more of the deeper water with this bait So we have two moving baits that we can cover a lot of water with now Let's go do it see if we can catch a fish. It is a very tough day today That's why I just want to at least catch one for you guys But I wanted to make this because this is my first one ever and it's going to be a lot of fun So we're going to continue to work down this bank work down these rocks and see if we can catch fish on either this crankbait Or the old fish headspin. We're going to take this little dt6 cover a little bit more water parallel on this rock And then we're going to move to that fish. Let's see if we can catch this fish that I actually had bite me a second ago I'm keeping off this bank just slightly On these deeper rocks note that this crankbait only goes about six foot And I'm bringing more raw low because of how high I am. I want to make sure I'm keeping contact Knocking those rocks is so important with a crankbait I've seen a lot of people just throw a crankbait and just reel it in and they're not You know keeping contact with any rocks and hitting the cover that they're fishing And that's that's probably the biggest step to a crankbait. It's keeping contact with that rock or bottom Whatever you're fishing Stuck behind that rock that's one thing that might suck about what I'm doing Just have to break it. This is just not working out for me today guys. It's really not if I I broke off my jig broke off my crankbait Totally layering down to you know the baits I can use and I guess we're moving over to this $25 jerkbait Let's pray that we don't lose this guy another bait I can work right next to these rocks and hopefully catch one. I really want to catch one for you guys All right, so this is what I was talking about just covered these rocks parallel Up shallow bumping the rocks with the jerkbait and the rest in piece of the crankbait Now we're going to move to the fish head and we're going to start working our way out So I'm not going to throw this on the rock. So I'm going to throw this bait Way off the rocks out deeper and I'm going to slowly work this thing on the bottom Fish head is an amazing bait this time of year And I'm excited to throw it if I could catch anything today I would love it to be on the fish head. Look how slow I'm reeling this bait on the bottom This is our last chance people. This is my favorite one to fish off of I was saving it for last. I guess we're going to see if it's going to happen Are you kidding me? I was just saying this is our last chance It's this angle right here is is booty. I was afraid of that right there That was the one thing I was afraid of and I finally got a bite And it haunted me I had them. I couldn't get the hooks of them with this tall angle that I'm hanging over this This is the best part. Like I just said, this is my favorite part. Oh man, that hurts really bad We're going to continue man. We got to catch one right here. Oh my god, there's fish chasing bait on that other dock I see it from over here and I'm breaking the rules. I shouldn't have made this cast because I don't know I'm going to get them back up. There's fish chasing bait down here Fish chasing bait Got him. Oh my god, there's a freaking gate on this Oh my god, no, no, no, no, where's he at? Oh Yes Oh my god I got the ball boys boys. We did it We freaking did it right there. It's a largemouth just like what I was talking about. There's a lot of largemouth here Oh man, I'm so happy this little guy just made me so happy I felt him hit it and I felt like the fish are starting to feed just because the sun's starting to go down And it's starting to get dark and this is when they're starting to fire up because I noticed I took off over here full sprint because I saw some bait And then I saw him and he just he just whacked me We're gonna throw a few more casts and then I really got to get out of here because I got to go meet my title sponsor. So but uh, that's awesome. There we go guys. We've got us a fish I'm super pumped. He's a little bit I don't know. I don't really care. That's all awesome. I almost you see that little gate right there I can't go past that that's where I was gonna run to land him and when I hooked him. I realized like I can't run through that. It's locked. So I had to lift him up. Thank god. He's not big but Man, so happy about this fish. I guess I have I don't have a choice but to softly Drop him. All right This is all I can do We swimmed off. All right. Let's go. All right, everybody That is the end of the day and holy freaking smokes. What a time that we weren't out here long at all About an hour. That's all I really had and the sun's still not down and I could be fishing when the fish are actually biting Like right now I talked to one of my a couple of my buddies like I said during the video and it's been a morning bite and obviously Late, you know, right when the sun's about to go down this fish are really chomping Which is right about now. This is when it's starting and this one I could really catch them That wasn't the main purpose of this video. The main purpose wasn't for oh, no, I'm gonna go out there go capture That's not what it's about. It was about me teaching you guys or at least me explaining, you know, how I bank fish from lakes And you know, how I did Way when I was younger like even before I had a boat because my parents had a bigger boat out here at this exact marina I used to always fish off, you know These docks and I fish the rocks and this this and that and there's a lot of fish that live around here and I even come every once in a while and fish this place out of my boat And there's just a lot of fish in this area It just wasn't the right time when we hit it But if you take some of the value that I told you guys in this video Go apply it to your home lake or wherever you're at wherever you want to bank fish and go out there You know fish some of the cover around marinas And about how I was saying you know layer the water column like fish close to the shore and then fish out Just so you don't spook this fish that'll help you catch a lot more fish in general Go look for some bridges that especially bridges that have rock on it There's some other amazing areas that you can bank fish from if you guys want to see a video on me coming out here And doing a legit fishing video rather than just me you know spraying my thoughts on Bank fishing and what I do when I come out here then let me know and cover that like button up and also if you enjoyed it I'm sorry. I didn't get to catch many fish, but that wasn't the purpose. I'm just glad we got that one That was a close one. I almost lost them No Where's he at? Oh, it was just the angle the dock and how it's angled and when you're throwing down like that It's hard to get a hook back in some of the og videos. I had this place to use the fish that it was like on a hill And I would lose so many fish just because of the angle and that's kind of like what happened today Especially on the jerk bait and like a crank bait when you're trying to let it get down It just wasn't happening. Thank you guys so much for watching this video if you guys want to see another one Um a bank fishing let me know in the comment section below So my first one released on youtube to let me know if you guys are new to the kick in their bass tv Family be sure to click that subscribe button. That means so much new clothing line is dropping This upcoming week's of days for that. Thank you guys so much. I love you guys so much and I'll catch you guys in the next
