My name is Mike. I live in Mesa, Arizona. I make amateur fishing videos for fun. Welcome to Flip-Flop Fishing AZ!
I've fished all my life but just recently got serious about bass fishing, something I've never really done before. I started in July, 2022 and after a couple of weeks I caught my first bass; a 2.6lb largemouth on a ned rig in a Tempe canal. Since then, I've taken up kayak fishing and have caught 100's of bass and other species.
I decided to start videoing my trips because I LOVE everything about FISHING and think it's really cool to be able to go back and replay these great memories.
I am not a professional. This entire thing is a work-in-progress. I am amazed and flattered that anyone would want to watch my videos but here we are!
Thanks for visiting!!

VIDEO: It's been a minute since I've been to the Lower Salt River. The river did not disappoint! I launched at Granite Reef and paddled upriver to the old dam. Fishing started out kind of slow but picked up as the day went by. I caught them on everything I threw! Enjoy! - Mike

Is that a homemade net or one that you bought somewhere? Keep up the good videos.
Thank you! The net is an Ego S2. It's pricey but very customizable and the telescoping handle is amazing!
@ thanks for sharing.
The water is always dirty down there when they lower the flow from Stewart Mountain and increase the flow from Bartlett.
Fact!
Curious how u get that kayak moving?

@flipflopfishingAZ cool
💪💪💪
Haha thats dope. 2 for 1 special
@@DrunkenChefBbq Yessir! Very efficient way to fish. 😆 🤣 😂
Great video, the salt river is so much fun. I just got a new kayak but i've never been in winter. What are you wearing to stay warm and dry?
@@darthcycy Thank you! I'm going to do a video about this soon. Stay tuned!
Nice work out there
@@phatpakbaits Thanks! Just doing what I do. 😆 🤣 😂
Another awesome video!!
Thank you!
You should come down to safford when u got a chance. I'll take you to some good ponds for the kayak
I might do that. Any smallmouth down that way?
@flipflopfishingAZ there is a pond that someone snuck some small mouth into but they are still small need another year or 2 to grow but you can catch alot of them
Good day Mike. The trout. the duck and the racoon that was cool too. What's the reason you didn't use your Pelican Kayak on the river?
Thank you! I used to take the Pelican but it's harder to get through the current.
Good stuff!
@@Snatchinlipsbaits Thank you, Sir!
I’m new in the area. Originally from Midwest. Live in the west valley. Have a kayak and ready to fish! I went to lake Pleasant once- about got run over! I checked out Lynx last fall the found out they are lowering the level for maintenance. I guess I will head to Sportsman Warehouse to get some maps. Surprise pond ain’t cutting it🤣I don’t Facebook . Maybe I’ll catch you on the water!
@@williamyoung8962 Pleasant is tough. Check out Alamo, Bartlett, & Roosevelt lakes. Plenty of others but any of those will get you started. I'm from the PNW. Fishing is very unique here. Good start by watching TH-cam.
What part of the river are you at? Cuz I know a lot of it is really low... Where do you park?
@@wellsjdan Granite Reef. I paddle upriver from there.
Water level is back up . Lots of grass. I hate the grass
Was just there
Fishing? How'd ya do?
Got a few bites nothing much
How long ago was this trip?
About a month now.
Nice to see that slinky worm putting in the work
Yessir! They are bass magnets for sure!
Do you put in at Granite Reef? If so, that is a tough place to launch!
@@johngarrett6908 I do. Honestly, I think it's the easiest place to launch of all the rec areas.
Awesome Video!
@@bobseneff6115 Thank you!
I just traveled down from South Dakota. In my van with my kayak, spending the weekend on Roosevelt. Any recommendations on where to launch from, going in blind?
@@ericgarrow8002 Schoolhouse, Grapevine, or Windy Hill boat ramps will do ya. Fishing s/b good. Good luck!
Why is it your last fishing trip at Roosevelt lake
@@ayidan-m5d Last trip this year. Click-bait. 😆
😁@@flipflopfishingAZ
Yeah where are the big fish?
@@maxcoatlhunter4322 😆 😆 😆 They're coming. Spring is just around the corner.
Spinnerbaits, Chatterbaits, and Swimbaits is the way to go in the winter here in AZ.
@@thesonorandesertangler You forgot jetkbaits but yeah, spot on!
Hi brother what set up are you running ? I always back lash when I’m casting senkos. I have a medium
@@Antonio-g3l5p I use a Kastking Kestrel BFS reel on a Dobyns Sierra Ultra Finesse rod and 20lb test braid to an 8-12lb test flouro leader.
@ extra fast or just fast?
@Antonio-g3l5p Extra-fast
Hey Mike What length rods do you use ?
Hi Dan! Most are 7-ft, one-piece. I have a couple 7-ft, 3-in. Spinning rod is 7-foot, 6-inches.
@@flipflopfishingAZ good deal I was just wondering what you were using in the kayak I don’t have one, but I might get one sometime in the next couple years for when I’m back in Arizona I fish out of a older Ranger in Georgia, mostly on the Tennessee river Thanks man !
@danspaulding1716 I'd use the same in a boat. Perfect casting accuracy for me at 7-feet.
AI loves the hard cuts lol.
@@logannewman4532 Yeah, it essentially cuts everything that is not dialog. 🤣🤣🤣
Could you get a 16 foot john boat in this part of the river? Or is it horse power limited
@@robbypatterson5487 Theoretically, yes. Is it practical? Not so much. There is no boat ramp anywhere and nowhere to drive right up to the bank. No gas motors allowed. Electric only allowed between Phon D Sutton & Granite Reef. Banned everywhere else.
@flipflopfishingAZ i appreciate it. Always looking for somewhere new, back to tried and true horseshoe for me then!
@robbypatterson5487 Have you been to Horseshoe lately? How's it fishing? I haven't been since October.
@flipflopfishingAZ it's been a while for me. I have been to pleasant mostly, caught my pb at 4.28 lbs. I struck out at apache last weekend. I've only been bass fishing for less than a year, Slowly learning
@flipflopfishingAZ horseshoe has always been a guarantee like alamo. They may be small but they bite
whered you launch from in this video?
Granite Reef
I let ai do mine all it did was make jokes about shunks
😆 🤣 😂 I use AI quite a bit to help me edit quickly.
I didn't notice a difference.
The original video is 41 minutes long. =) th-cam.com/video/iSi__pTPyxw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=g6_36o9chJZyafrJ
You can't go wrong with the fire tiger roostertail!
I'm convinced! 😆 🤣 😂
Catch and release pike ?
Yessir!
@@flipflopfishingAZ few people eat them do sports fishermen generally release them? and the big boat fishermen too?
@@pierrehenneguez6648 Can't speak for everyone but I release them all. There are way better fish to eat than a pike or bass.
@flipflopfishingAZ you free them all yourself but do the other fishermen do this too
@@flipflopfishingAZ you free them all yourself but do the other fishermen do this too
hate to see how you'd do without liveview.
I caught 30+ bass in my ffs-free river kayak last weekend.
@@flipflopfishingAZ in pleasant? it's usually pretty rough without a scope there for me.
Next time i can take you right to them 😊 lmk
I may have to consider that.
Never caught anything at Pleasant. I’ve caught many fish at other Arizona lakes. Pleasant always kicks my ass.
Def a tough place for sure!
Do ever go out with other anglers? I live in Glendale, Been to Pleasant several times in my Vibe Seaghost, not much luck thete.
Not very often. I actually prefer to fish alone or with my son.
Any day that isn't a skunk is a great day! Love watching KickinTheirBASSTV!❤
@@AZN-FISHING Fact!
I feel like it’s tough everywhere right now, or maybe I just suck 😂
Nov was my toughest month of the year. December's been better.
Any top water bites? I'll be out there tomorrow
@@Codename_toadz Nah, I threw a buzzbait around for a bit but nothing. Good luck tomorrow!
@flipflopfishingAZ yeah I haven't had a top water bite in a bit neither. Looking forward to where you go next. Thanks man 🤙🏽
Been about a month for me. Thank you!!!
To catch fish at Pleasant is a huge victory, Great job!
Thank you, sir! Been binge-watching your vids. Good stuff!
Great job as always Mike.
@@maxcoatlhunter4322 Thank you! Can't wait for spring! =)
@@flipflopfishingAZ I know :)
The first fish you caught had his air bladder coming out of his mouth.
Is that what it was? Makes sense. Didn't stop it from eating apparently.
For those bring a needle and puncture it . Than pour Mountain Dew on it 😂
That first spot is close to 60 ft deep. I fish there almost every weekend. You were just west and north of the best spot. We renamed the cove on Google lol. You're looking for "bass cove" aka goose cove.
@@SendItVibesI'll remember that. Thank you!
Ok, gota say it “TREE POUNDER”
😆 🤣 😂
@ if I was to go back over the last 50 years I have been fishing and collect all of the ones I caught, I could rebuild Noah’s Arc!!
Im going to grapevine tomorrow morning. I have my order of Phat Pack ready to go...Join us
That's awesome! I would join if I could. Good luck out there!
