Technique Of The Month | April | Wacky Worm

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 เม.ย. 2022
  • This month is one where there are a lot of fish spawning across the country. There are some still hanging around down south, lots are starting across the mid part of the country and it won’t be long for some of our northern friends. A wacky worm is a simple rig but picking the right bait for the depth you are fishing is critical. Your presentation of it is too! Slower the better most of the time. Hope you go catch some big ones on the wacky!!!
    For any of the gear I use all season long you can get it here: www.basspro.com/SearchDisplay...

    Love your witness. You are truly an inspiration to all of us. While there is a lot of fishing info on TH-cam, I know that I am getting the best when I watch your channel. Gonna be fishing Lake Athens with a guide in about a month. Loved watching you crush them there for that amazing win. Blessings, brother.

    I really appreciate that you cover everything pertaining to the technique. So many others will tell you about the bait choices or the rod & reel or the technique but don't put it all together. This was a welcome surprise. I look forward to watching your other videos.

  • @geraldkoth654
    @geraldkoth654 ปีที่แล้ว

    I fish the boat canals in our RV Park. They are weeds from side to side, and a lot of fish cruise in those canals. So I fish the edges and the center. When they are cruising many times they hit it in the first few seconds. On the edges it takes the technique you just described. Standing on a dock and catching fish after fish is just a blast. Bass, pike, and bowfin, the bowfin. The pike really love bladed jigs. As I tell my son, if it shakes on the end of the line I am happy. Thanks for the tips.

    1:30 a.m., can't get to sleep. Got on here and found you just browsing Ott. "Let's see how Ott fishes a Wacky Worm" methinks. And then after you catch one, standing on one leg with the other foot up on a barrier, I get a Testimony, and oh What a Testimony! I got surprised and excited The excited way of your speech and the sincerity and the joy in your voice had me saying, "Preach It Ott! Preach It" out loud. I'm gonna watch the fishing technique tomorrow. I'm going to bed now with my joy in my heart. Thank you Ott. It does my heart good to see a Brother in Christ proclaim it before the world.

    I hate to burst any bubbles, but I was taught this technique back in 1975. Used a 6" creme worm, and caught many stringers of bass up to 9lbs in weight. While it works in larger reservoirs, the best results came in farm ponds of still water of shallow to medium depth.

    Thanks Ott. I always love your videos, and the inclusion of our God mixed in. I have been trying the Wacky rig, but the tips you had will really help. One thing I was wondering, do you put the hook right through the worm, or use the "O" Rings or cross over rings when you fish them wacky style? Thanks again and God Bless you and all your family.
