 That's my blue bell auger right there. She is pissed because her favorite nesting box is currently occupied Welcome back to the channel. Welcome back to the vlog y'all We fishing hardcore lately. I've been fishing hardcore. Um, and today is no exception. I'm going out on the water again um, not going too far today Kind of a family day just coming off goog and week and spend a little time with with the fam before we go out again It's just it's happening y'all it's happening, but I keep just running into bass everywhere. I go running in bass I had a good week this week catching some some chunkies And the the crop you've just eluded me everywhere I go. It's um It's like I hear they're They're they're not biting or they're you know what they're gonna move up eventually. I don't know This is just kind of a vlog Nothing specific in mind, but just hanging around the boat rigging up some tackle right now I'm gonna rig up a floater pole 10 foot crappie pole. I've got three of my other crappie poles the micro sticks ready to go as well and then We got the bass rods ready to go in there So just uh, just got a bunch more tackle from the goog and hq that just opened up you guys It is insane if you if you have not been up there It is completely different than the first years that we were open. We completely remodeled it It looks awesome. We and it is the biggest selection of goog and products Anywhere so it is all in store. You can go uh shop Shop to your drop it is In the 30s right now. This is the coldest morning. We've had by far a long time So I think that's probably gonna throw off the bite quite a bit, but This is also just big fish season. I gotta go try so let's hit the water and see if we can get some fish on the line We be floating We be floating Let's talk to uh fish and freak on the dock He was telling me He had a few bites this morning vast wise and there's also a derby out here. There's a derb What the deuce come out here this lake has been fishing pretty pretty crummy But their boats just uh scattered everywhere You have four boats right in this the fishing has sucked here lately and I think it's largely to do with the water clarity Clarity has not been good, you know cold and muddy Do not fare well those two things together very much bad But cold and clear You're all right, cold and clear you're in clear cold and muddy Call buddy. Hopefully we find some white bass today or some crappie Maybe look into a large bass Just kind of give it the gamut. Just this is considered my home lake. I guess it's the lake I live closest to so I like to come out here every once in a while Beat my head against the water and uh, see if I can catch one just because it's close, you know That's what you do. That's what you do on your home lake. You go out there and you suffer it Sometimes it's great. You embrace those memories and then sometimes It's a turtle All right, we're out of this no way zone. I need to go Find some brush files that are yet to be marked on my graph. I have them in my mental graph up here my mental gps But since I got the new boat Everything didn't transfer transfer over from my hummingbird and I need to make sure I Relocate these brush files and we're gonna fish them Uh, while we're there push fish on This summer they're gonna be stacked Okay, we got a few here on a brush pile. Don't look big but we're gonna try to Attack them with the old dart eat it got him. There we go There's that crappie There's that crappie Little dangle dart Fortunately, yeah, I'm just a hair hair under Wow breaking the crappie spell That that little fish felt nice Not gonna lie. Oh my gosh. It's like I sent that that one back down and he said nobody eat Where are they? I can tell you right now. They're underneath the marine nuts So may go give that a shot if I have to but it's so hard to get to Better off like getting off and just walking the marina. They're just sitting right under the lock way Just so you guys know what the bottom looks like right now Pretty much all over the lake in 20 feet You've got shad and micro white bass just Going crazy It's making it hard to really decipher what is going on What is going on? All right, so I'm gonna try to target somebody's floaters See if we can find a floater or two big floater there Basically try to get up on them with With a bait with a crappie jig just hover it Really big. That makes me think those are the faster times seeing them all over every lake They're stacked underneath the dock Dock that I cannot catch catfish or a bass Okay, y'all this is getting to be ridiculous on this crappie It's not fun mode They're stacked up under these docks where I'm trying to shoot my little jig up under there But it's like five foot short, you know, and there's no they're not coming out Try to find floaters I can't find them floaters Just need to sit down and rig something up. I'm gonna rig up a bass rod describing my last Three weeks of my life Literally just uh Taking the crappie rods I end up getting the bass itch Because I can't get on the crappie and then I Catch bass What I'm gonna do is I'm going to take this 10 pound fluoro off of here I'm gonna replace it with some braid Just not a huge fan of fluoro on uh spinning anymore Unless it's like ultra clear water, which I'm hardly ever fishing Tackle rigging therapy. That's what this is so I'm on a lake that is uh, is a good shaky head lake can be There's a lot of rock That's not very good water clarity, but You know these fish are It's 55 degree water right now So jerk bait would be wonderful All right, water clarity is not the best, but get a jerk bait around some of the points for bass And then when you get in a spot where it looks like it might be kind of a bedding area here in a few weeks Drag something around You can you can throw a weightless bait as well But anytime I've got like a gradual slope bank with some decent rock on it I like to throw a shaky head or a jig Something that is making contact with those rocks making the little tick tick tick tick noise And the fish hear that and they come over and they uh, they investigate And sometimes they slurp it in their face. All right, so I'm going to leave A little bit of that braid on there or a little bit of that fluoro probably a quarter spool of it All right, these 2,500 size reels that we have There's going to be no way that I'm going to cast all the braid off here Fluoro going in the trash and we're going to be replacing that with 20 pound Guggen squad braid This is an eight strand You guys a lot of time to see it on my spinning reels. It's yellow. This is the same stuff It's just uh I got a yellow high vis sample. I really liked it And I've been using that a lot, but I'm out I'm out of 20 pounds. So this is uh, this is the same stuff just green color Oh tournament going on boats everywhere bassin, but what are we going to do? It's sunny and no wind. It's beautiful. All right fluoro connection When I spool up my spinning rods, I go through the first eye First I give it a little pressure Put the spool flat on the ground with that eye right above it All right, that should do it All right, we got a braid and I tied another leader knot And I've got 15 pound fluorocarbon as a leader May seem a little big for shaky heads, but When I'm shaky heading in texas or anywhere that has bigger fish in it You know potential to get a five eight pound fish I put 15 15 pound on because I have broken off so many times throwing 12 Um spinning rod obviously helps with that having a good drag on it But even then you get that good thump just like a jig bite get excited It's over so I do 15 pound um spring time when you got the potential to get a big one Now something you guys probably haven't seen yet Is Well, maybe you haven't seen this box, but Also We have some shaky heads now. I'm looking for yeah, let me do a Three sixteenths That little bad boy right there That's nice. We've actually labeled them just like our other jigs. So you know What size they are And it's got a swinging screw lock on it And Someone in the office gave me some prototype worms. So Why not let's throw one of those? finis style. All right, so that's hinged on there. We're just going to Skin hook it a little bit right there That's all it is We go Okay, I'm probably gonna put some Hot butt on the back of that Okay Yeah, that's two bites on that little worm. Where's that bite again? Fish has got it. Oh my gosh This might be like a deep bedding fish go The real did you knock the Thunder off of it right there. That's what's going on here First time I just took the tail. It's definitely not a bluegill. Well the micros are out Goodness look that one's been eating Attempt attempted eat I'm telling you that first thump I got was hefty. Oh, I just hooked up on the shaky head guys And I think it's a horse Oh, yeah, it's a big big big one Just bit up a shad I just I just threw up on a pole. My lines started racing It's jicundo, baby Jicundo down the hatch Why we use that 15 pound test I was talking about Oh, yeah Thing is gone. Absolutely gone back, please Go look at that fish nice All right, you guys I'm gonna let this fish go he had it absolutely throat it. That's about a four pounder right there On that new little proto worm Crazy, but that right there the tiny little bait Got him to eat Let this fish go right here See you See you noise noise noise noise Oh my gosh, this is happening to me so many times Chunks that fish right there hit it on the way down. I saw a fish on a on a post on a pole And there was just crappie up underneath that couldn't get though So I just flicked this little worm out there and as it was going down Fish chased it down right at the bottom and then I mean my line was screaming away That's why I use that 15 pound test guys because That fish had that that bait really deep And if I was throwing like 12 And you know, I was kind of looking away and then I look back and I saw my line just moving It's a reaction hooks that I just jerk into them. That's why I like to have that 15 It's thicker and it really helps with the abrasion resistance When you start talking about those bigger bass, you know, they get over three pounds They get it all the way in their mouth And you got to think when you're setting the hook It's not just like the fish just has the lure like right here The fish goes bull has it all the way down And when you when you sweep fluorocarbon across a fish's teeth, it's like Thick heavy Like 40 grit sandpaper and it will it will break a lot of smaller lines So it's not necessarily for the the strength like the break strength It's for the thickness of the 15 pound test to hold up to that That's why I do Gosh absolute Megalodon cruising around here absolute Megalodon To flick this jerk bait over its head. It's a giant floater I'm in a big and just poke this thing out here See what this fish does. Oh my gosh. It's a magnum It's probably a 40 pound carp Can't wait to hook it. Oh my gosh. This fish is on my jig. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. It's about to eat it Oh my gosh. This is a giant bass This is a giant bass Nose up on it nose. I mean it's nosed It's nose y'all. It's following it. It's right there on it. It's a giant. It's a giant My goodness y'all that was a freaking space cadet. That was a giant Absolute helmet Holy spatoons Just came right up there to that jig I'm going to jerk bait came right up there to the jig Little crappie fishing and that's what you come up with That's what I come up with when I when I crappie fish down this unreal Look at this cool fish guys Just caught that off a brush pile chunky fat and it's got three spots on the side Got him on the old Grubby There we go Chubby grubby And that toxic waist color Oh, there's got a couple more spots on the other side. That's really crazy Oh my gosh, I just can't catch crappie But I saw a couple blobs in the brush pile. I thought there might be a big crappie in there and uh That's what it was And that's just so cool Back in the water right here Are you ready? Look at those polka dots swim on That Fatay Oh, man. I wish that was a crappie though Because that would definitely be my three pound uh gold There guys got some floaters man. What's going on got some floaters Got some green fish hanging around It's a weird bank. There's like nothing on it The crappie they remain a mystery But the bass they come in there like an old love story. I just I love you gotta smash the like button for that I'm gonna make a couple more casts with my little worm buddy here On this point where I just saw a blue harem Take off he's hunting. He's he's getting some chads. Oh one's coming. They ever got him. Oh, that might be a big one This could be the one Oh, yeah Yeah, you know You know what I'm about Live scoping catfish is what I do Oh, yeah, what a day under that is. Oh my gosh.
