Striper and Catfish Catch & Cook! (Lake Pleasant AZ)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ส.ค. 2024
- Hit the almighty lake pleasant for some bank fishing. Ended up having a ton of success! This time of year AZ fishing can be very tough! Especially at this lake. I was happy to se it pan out for us.
We have a few main big lakes here in the desert, lake pleasant, bartlett lake, and the salt river chain lakes, canyon, Roosevelt, apache. Lake pleasant is the only lake that has great striper fishing under an hour drive.
Lake pleasant shore fishing is extremely tough, access is limited, and fishing is very hit or miss. But when you can put your bait in the right spot, you can get on some great catfishing, striper fishing, and even some awesome white bass.
We did a catch and cook on some awesome channel catfish and even a little striper! Stay tuned to see how it tasted! I will be fishing the big lakes a lot more this coming year.

You out fished me that day even on a kayak, you are a damn good fisherman
I appreciate it man. That lake is tough!
I love it ! Catch and cook . Your video embodies what the sport is all about .
lets goooo
Definitely a pleasant video. Can’t eat fish any fresher that swimming one minute and cooking shortly thereafter. Careful cooking out there, Squatch likes fried fish. 😂😂
Heck yea! He was hiding behind the cactus
Always give your 4 legger a piece of the feast 👌🏻
I actually did off camera lol
I got hungry just watching that cook session and I just ate breakfast…… PBR is great beer that was my dad’s favorite!
Oh yea I already want more fish haha. Best beer ever 🔥
wow great video, moved from AZ and sure miss fishing Pleasant and Canyon lake. :)
Thanks! Canyon i need to try come spring!
Love the shore acess there.good quail hunting on the back end of pleasant.rented a boat there once 10/15 yrs ago had a epic day bass fishing tons of 2,s and 3,s plus a 6 lbr.
awesome, thats something i need to do this year
It's nice to see you letting your dog be a dog 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸👍🏻👍🏻
He pushes his limits sometimes but I try to let him be lol
Just a tip for shore fishing, if you leave your bail open and find a flat stone or an empty soda can you can put the stone or can with a little water in it on top of your line between two rod eyes. So your line is on the ground and you have a trigger so you know if you get a hit. And you won’t loose a pole either because your bail is open. You will get 90 percent of your fish as well.
cant say ive heard of that one XD
LFG!!! Been waiting for you to hit the big AZ lakes🙏🏼🙌🏼🔥
Yessir a lot more coming this year
Right carnal great catches that fry looked good heck yeah 🤘🏽.
You know it bro 🔥🔥
Casually hooking a fish with one hand and sippin coco with the other.. pure big dawg vibes 🤙🏼
😂 I try my best brother 🙏🏼
Nice! Stripers from the bank, I'm all for it! 🔥😁🎣
You know it! More to come 🔥
New sub here and I love what you’re doing.. Catch and cook is one of my favorites thing to do and bank fishing.. Keep up the good work!!
Happy to hear it! I appreciate you being here 🔥
Brock chasing the striper had my dying 😂😂 epic day for sure
😅 he’s mighty ambitious
Great video! Brock was hilarious! He wanted some fish too :)
Yea he did haha thank you ma
Pleasant was one of my favorite places to walk my dog. They absolutely ruined the back side access to the lake with that piece of **** fencing. I used to smash fish back there from shore.
Yeah haven't been back since they closed the north side access
I wont go there any more. When they closed everything down during the COVID debacle and forced you into a tiny area in the main park, I said I was done with that place forever.
Really? That’s too bad. Don’t think I’ve been over there yet
I use the exact same fishing setup here in central California. Good to know I can use the same method in Arizona 😁
Heck yea man! I grew up in Vacaville. Basically learned how to fish fishing anchovies on the bottom hahaha
Nice! When you have a chance. Try fishing the Gila River up by Winkelman. Curious to see what ya get. Get after it! Great channel!
I’ve heard a lot about it there! Thank you!
you ever wanna go out fishing on a boat i live 10 mins away from here!
Good job
Nice video I enjoyed Watching it. I've tried to catch stripers at Lake Pleasant but never had any luck. I'll keep trying though. You got a new subscriber here.
they are tricky! Thank you !
Ive caught tons of fish at that lake especially huge flatheads just gotta know how to fish this lake
Me watching this right after getting skunked at Pleasant just to remind myself that there is in fact fish in this lake
bro its a tough one lol. I have probably gone like 3 for 7 at plez
My pleasant trips are usually unpleasant (skunks!)
hahahaha it happens
That knife needs sharpened. With the clean water we have in Az, catfish is wonderful to eat.
Great
Hell yeah. PBR drinker myself
Let’s go 🔥
Man, that fish looked good. So Old Bay is the secret? Now I know. 😂. See you soon bro
Hahahaha it sure is! They were tasty. Yessir soon!
Official seasoning of the State of Maryland haha.@@TheFishinMagician20
My dog chases cats. Your dog chases catfish.
Looooool
Nice catfish! I never knew you can use anchovies to catch catfish.
Oh yea they love em!
Best eating fish halibut or norwegian cod
Walleye
My son gets two or three big size fish every time we go out there. He put fishes his dad and grandpa 😂
Haha awesome
What’s the regulation on striped bass and white bass?
You should put ribcage on hook.
I really enjoy your videos and look up to your fishing techniques, I would love to fish with you in Colorado where I live. Let me know if that sounds interesting
If I’m ever there definitely, thannnyou for the support
epic!!
🔥🔥
What app are you using bro? Thank you for all the valuable info I have been getting into fishing more lately and I have enjoyed every catch 💪🏼
thanks man! i boating is the app
Keeping busy.
Always
It would’ve been sick to see you reel in a big carp from there. They say that carp in these big lakes are huge! But they don’t taste very good from what I’ve heard
I’ve been hearing about the pleasant carp forsure! Maybe next year one I’ll do it for fun. Definitely no cooking then tho haha
What was the app called
yeah but can you catch fish in community ponds? ,, All jokes aside, great fishing man!
Hahahaha you know it bro 🎣
Do you use j-hooks I know you said octopus’s but they make those in circles and j hooks. Having trouble hooking up on my circles. Think about switching to j hooks to set my own hook
Js brother. Yea circle hooks work good for fish that really slam your bait and pull your rod in half. For those finicky biters downsize a tad and use js you’ll get em
@@TheFishinMagician20 ok thanks for the info. That’s what I started to realize that these Az fish don’t always fully commit and give that full bite. Going to use some j-hooks this Friday thank you
@@MrPhoenix1800 Sounds good man good luck! I am not sure where you get your tackle but I suggest copperstate tackle. Great local ran business and they have a ton of things. Tell them I sent yah if you make your way out there 💪🏼
@@TheFishinMagician20 will do. I’ll check them out for sure.
Hey did they stock the trout today
Un cevichito 😅
do you get the anchovies from grocery store or at a fishing shop? thank you
basspro, they also have some at liars corner
@@TheFishinMagician20 thank you, Also forgot to ask you if flatheads will typically bite anchovies. thanks again!
@@pigeonsil240sx not they like fresh cut bait or live the best in my experience at least. Some of the urban ones bite some weird stuff but big lakes it has to be natural
Awesome video what part of pleasant where you getting them
This was castle creek
What spot what’s that one brother?
Finally stripers at Lake Pleasant great video what app are you using.
oh its only the beginning ill be out there alot more. I - boating its in the video
@@TheFishinMagician20 fantastic
What type of anchovies do you use? Awesome success!!
just store bought seawave anchovies, thanks!
We put chicken livers in pantyhose pieces wrap a rubber band . Around hook to keep pantyhose tight. The catfish will chew on it. It's teeth will get hung in the material.
Catching even one fish at pleasant is considered “out fishing” someone. 🙄 place is a complete waste of time to fish. Arizona in general, there’s MUCH better luck in the next state over to the east. But AZ in general, is a complete waste of time. Yes I’m pretty jaded lol! Just too much money & time to waste on weather stunted dinks.
I agree fishing in az really sucks
Most factual comment here
Fishing smaller area in az is fun, like golf courses and stuff like that
You just suck at fishing bud Maybe cry a little harder
caught 4 striper 1 largemouth and 1 white bass and 1 chanel catfish at pleasent...
Do you still do magic
no lol years ago i did tho
Man you have no idea what you're talking about... Lake Unpleasant is the easiest lake ever LOL I love and hate it
Are you being Foreal? Or sarcastic?😅 I just always hear it’s pretty tricky from the bank especially in the winter. I’ll be trying it in the spring pretty hardcore cuz I heard it gets better
@@TheFishinMagician20 definitely sarcastic 😂 that lake is tough! Which is why I call it Lake Unpleasant haha it’s an awesome lake for the variety you can catch for sure but you have to grind most of the time. Good luck when you start going again in spring.
@@TDFishing lol I figured the internet you never know haha. Thanks, looking forward to some white bass and more striper
@@TheFishinMagician20 haha no worries! The white bass spawn run can be really good! Not sure what kind of vehicle you have but I know some guys drive to the Agua Fria arm and slaughter them from shore. The gate is closed for parts of the year but you can hike in as well.
@@TDFishing I have a Crosstrek, need a lift and I may be good. I’ve heard a lot about that area but I’m unsure where to start. I’ll poke around a map for a bit. Thank you for that info 🙏🏼
Lmao, why did you waste 2 extra baggies when ya coulda just put it all in one at the house?
After watching this video that what you came away with?🤔
Well, there was nothing ground breaking fishing wise@@TheFishinMagician20
