I am a lifelong fisherman and decided I would like to share my fishing experiences with the world. I fish mainly in the Southwest Ohio area but occasionally get out to do some destination dangling in many different locations. I specialize in high-percentage fishing, chasing many different species throughout the year depending on conditions--largemouth and smallmouth bass, white and hybrid bass, bluegill, crappie, suckers, trout, and catfish to name a few. I don't discriminate; I just want to get some bend in my rod! I fish rivers, creeks, ponds, and lakes large and small. I specialize in public waters. I like to show places that you can go fishing and what to expect. Thanks for checking out the channel! Please Like, Subscribe, and Comment. Hopefully I can help you...Go Get Some Bend in Yer Rod!!!

When it gets cold out there, the bites get fewer and farther between. We fish hard for two days and manage to get a few fish to the bank.

Winter weather is here. Yes, it is not technically winter yet but it might as well be as cold as it has been. Fortunately the water is still relatively warm compared to the air and we were able to land some nice smallmouth bass in today's video.

I just got my Fish Ohio pin today for a really nice Sandusky bay cat. It really put a bend in my rod!
That place is thick with em. Nice job, Steve! I got one in the gmr a couple years ago but just barely measured.
What hooks are you using for the cats?
Gamakatsu octopus circle 1/0. I probably need to bump up a couple sizes. Those were getting too deep for my liking
👍
Thanks! You out there catching em?
Yep went to Michigan on vacation I caught my pb smallie almost 18 inches
@cgamingoutdoors6843 great job!
Thanks
We went to a new pond this past week. My grandson threw out a piece of cut bait .. we assume a kitty got it......only sound we heard was it flipping over the side of the pontoon. He is now the proud owner of a new rod and reel.😂
Loosen that drag lol. Never know when a monster will come along...
Thanks for sharing your day!!!
Great video! Glad to see you out fishing again!!
Thanks! Putting together another one now...should be up in an hour or so...
Every time I go bank shoreline fishing 🎣 i bring a couple plastic bags easy to stuff in pocket or tackle bag when I see garage at the fishing site time to bust out those plastic bags just an idea Gone fishing 🎣 oooh yah fish 🐟 ON BROTHER n sisters God bless America 🇺🇸 USA amen 🙏 🙌
I do what I can. Thanks for the comment!
Is this that pond by Rotary Park? At Hunter's Ridge subdivision.
Well that all depends... 😂. Are you subscribed to the channel?
Yeah. I grew up in that subdivision when I was little. It just looks familiar. You don't gotta share your secrets lol
I thought that might have been the spot as well. I haven't been over there this spring/summer yet. But the sign posting seems really new since last fall? I believe I saw a pond closer to BV going west from spot there, but it had been posted a couple of years back when I saw it. Glad to see you are back, I was one of those newbies to the channel, found you around this time last year I believe. Hoping to get some pointers from watching someone who fishes near me.
It is HR. It's not a secret. Three other dudes were there that day too who didn't live there lol
Evidently they just posted the signs relatively recently. I didn't have any trouble. Thanks for watching and shooting a comment. I hope to be getting a video out every 7-10 days if the fish and weather cooperate. Tight lines!
You can't catch fish fart in the water something has to come up
Thanks for commenting! Good luck out there
Wow, your still alive, thought you was worm dirt by now! Glade your still fishing.
I aim to get back after it more regular. Took a while off but I'm glad you're still watching. Thanks so much!
Good to see you posting again friend! Those flappers seem to be a tad more durable than the EZ shiners, but just as effective.
They definitely hold together better. I did catch one on an easy shiner but wanted to make the vid about the flapper. I'm sure they will clean up some smallies too. Maybe next video...🤔. Thanks as always, Steve
Yay you posted
Finally! Thanks for commenting! Go catch some fish 😜
Hey, hey.....how are you doing? We have a local pond where the bass are all skinny like that.
I think it's post spawn males. Their tails were all tore up too. Thanks for checking in, Dave. I hope to keep em coming again. Your brother, you and I should chase some steel this fall 🍁
Darn it, you beat me to it.
Yes, most definitely we need to catch some Steelies.
I caught my PB tonight 27inch 7.5lbs saugeye 8pm Tappen Lake Ohio trolling 50yds from bank yeehaw..😂
Hell yeah, dude! That's a beast! I think my best is 24" or so. Great job!
If it were not for that weird intro I might have watched the whole video I am 68 year old fly fisherman but love fishing all kinds of
I'm not exactly sure what you mean; we all have our likes and dislikes. I appreciate you watching the channel. Good luck out there!
How do you fish that swim baits for trout? By the way thank you for responding to my comments it’s been helping me a ton
I fish those swimbaits the same way no matter what species I'm looking for. I use the lightest jig head I can to get down to the bottom. And then I pop it up off the bottom and just reel it back slowly. Just like in this winter saugeye video. A lot of times when the fish are active I get hit as the bait sinking.
Ok thanks again for helping me so much I’m just a kid trying to learn the ways of fishing for stuff other than largemouth
What access did you fish
I have used just about every bridge over the river from Springfield up to West Liberty. Most of them are easy to park and get in the river
Ok
You should make I video at mad river gorge went there today saw a 15 inch trout didn’t have much time to fish but caught a baby smallmouth
wheres that at on watts bar..... the city
A bunch of different places but all in the white's Creek area between Rockwood and spring City
@@FiveRiverRodBenderFishing gotcha …. I’m in the Athens area and haven’t made it that way yet
What are those baits you’re using
Keitech easy shiner on ball head jigs
Great video how long did you fish for?
I was probably out there for three or four hours. Hard to remember. Thanks for the comment!
Thanks went there shortly after watching this video and caught my first trout. Should I fish deep pockets or fish middle of the river?
Awesome job! Trout are weird. I'm mostly a smallmouth fisherman and trout behave totally differently. Seems like the browns will be in anything deeper than a foot of water. I've made casts where I thought I would never catch a fish and have one come back. I have spent two hours on deep holes that I swore had fish in them only to get skunked. Just gotta keep going back and learning what works for you. Good luck! Thanks for watching!
Thanks
Great video, but should've told those 2 crackheads to kick rocks.
Like your video I always use a little bit of super glue it extends the life of your plastic just a little bit especially with the ky-tech
I've had mixed success with super glue. Definitely helps but I can't keep it from drying out or leaking in my bag lol
Good to see you back at it. I guess you can go fishing in the winter ❄️
Year round baby!
Thats a nice setup!,Is there a reason you dont make your hook weedless?
I'm lazy and there are a lot of rocks there. Weedless rigs still get caught up. Thanks for commenting!
Sooooo glad to see you out an about making videos again brother
Thanks, Marcus! Life happens and it was a busy 2023. I hope to be more regular in 2024. Tight lines, brother!
Completely understand that and cant wait Always tight lines man!!!!
Wow, you're alive!!! KEEP ON FISHING BROTHER ***
Good to be back! Thanks, Steve
Get em!
Yessir!
Looking good my friend. Keitech for the win?
You know it. Alewife and Bluegill color 3" on 1/8 oz. Hope you been getting em, Steve!
@@FiveRiverRodBenderFishing Not lately.
It's been a tough year. Maybe I blew up all our spots? 😂
Where on the GMR is this? I’m having a hard time finding access points.
Find low head dams on the gmr. If you look for a paddle map, it will show them. They all have parking and good access. Also, any bridge over the river usually has a place to pull off and fish. I wouldn't mind telling you exactly where, but I get flamed for naming spots and don't wanna hear it from the locals. Good luck out there!
Dude, where have you been!
Being pulled in a lot of directions. Hope you and Steve have been able to get out and get some. Thanks for watching, Dave!
My pb Ohio smallmouth was in Downtown Dayton, Deeds point, 19". GMR is an excellent fishery. My husband and I have been fishing it for more than 40 years. Love that river, great video
Thank you very much! May your lines be forever tight!
Good tip
Thank you. Go get em!
I heard that spot has some big cats, 😮thank you for sharing that information.
Tried for channel there once or twice. Nothing. Good luck!
I caught a 23 inch Saugeye at that spot. I also caught a 15 pound cat.
As a NE Ohio resident who fishes this species all the time, I’ve never seen anyone on their first trip do so well!!! Excellent work even with terrible flows. I wouldn’t even fish the vermilion based on the flow rate I see in this video and you did and did it well! Great job brotha!
I got really lucky. I've been back twice with no luck. Go get em this fall!
Where on the great miami are you fishing i fish in hamilton near the college
I fish between downtown Dayton and Franklin
What part of great miami are you fishing? I live by the river between Cincinnati and dayton
this is in west carrollton
I have fished from Indian all the way down to Franklin. Most of my videos are between downtown Dayton and West Carrollton
You still alive? Miss seeing ya brother!!!
Yeah. I changed jobs late last year and have had to work a lot. I haven't had much time to fish. When I do get out, it's usually a dink fest or just kind of a boring day not worth editing a video for. I've also been playing a lot of disc golf this year. Fall is here and I hope to get out after some saugeye as soon as we get some rain. I hope to get a video out soon. Thanks for checking in! Stay tuned! Tight lines, brother.
What was your most productive color and what size was used more often 2" or 3" you are still the man great job
Man, that was a while ago. Probably smallmouth magic or Tennessee shad color. The 3" caught more fish. I've been back twice since and got skunked though. I think conditions are everything with the steelies. One time the water was too high (poor access) and the other too low. Good luck!
So what part of the Great Miami are you fishing at? North of Montgomery County, in Montgomery County? South of? Not exact spot, don't want to crash your specific fishing hole, but curious cuz of where I live and the lack of production I have using a similar bait. I don't want to give up river fishing just yet.
I fish between downtown Dayton and Franklin
@@FiveRiverRodBenderFishing cool, pretty close to me. I fished across from embury park last night across the river from riverside drive, right where the waterfall is. I work I springboro, have yet to fish down here.
Thanks for sharing
My pleasure!
Good to see ya.I wish you many more successful fish outings!
Ready for summer patterns for sure. This wacky spring has had the spawn all messed up and fish acting weird.
Looks like ya got bent! Fish 🐟 on!
Crazy looking fish. Glad to catch em!
It has been feast or famine this spring. The Keitech's keep bringing them in. How many Fish Ohio so far this year?
Just the two. Crappie and smallmouth. Maybe largemouth. Gonna have to check my records. For real. It's either been real slow and I catch a giant, a skunk, or a dink fest. Weird year for sure. Fish on, Steve!
Nice Man! Congrats✌️✌️🎣
Thanks, dude. Tight lines!
Good fishing.
Thank you! May your lines be tight.
Where's this spot at??
The creek that dumps into the top of the lake. You can find bridges that cross them on Google maps and walk down to access. Good luck!
@@FiveRiverRodBenderFishing ok, thanks. Appreciate it.
Wow. I’ve been there twice in the last two weeks and walked the whole length and got skunked. 10:39 10:41
Sorry to hear that. Keep going. Feels like they are on the upside. There's a couple more weeks for sure.
Good to see ya up and at'em!!!
I've been working like a dog. Hard to find time. Thanks for watching, Steve! Tight lines!

Thanks! It was a good day
Congratulations on the anniversary of the channel. Seems like just last year you were just at 200 subscribers. Good for you!
Coming up! About to hit that route you and I did down here last summer, hoping to get the next video. Tight lines!
@@FiveRiverRodBenderFishing Catch them all!
That last one might have made Fish Ohio. You were right about hot and heavy action once you find them. The weather is going to finally get seasonal up here. More bend is in the forecast.🎣🎣.
I don't think so. Camera tricks 😂. They have to be 14" for FO. Might have been 12", didn't bother. Yes, these last few weeks feel more like March than Late April/early May. This weekend should be good. Go get em, Steve!
