What was that in the beginning of the video that pushed out of the overcast shallow water making a nice puff of sand/mud? Love the look on your face! Classic!
+David Beede I think it was a huge carp of some kind, I was surprised because I was on a small private lake and had no idea carp that size were in there! haha
Popping cork wouldn't work at calaveras lake im a kayak guide for brauniq and calaveras lake. The best thing to do is use shrimp and live bait on bottom. I mostly catch the reds trolling a rattle trap around the jettis. Also at the wall you can use a ballon rig with about a palm sized tilapia
+Isaac Garza If I had downriggers I would definitely be trolling. I always see y'all guides smokin' them! But yeah popping cork works great in flats and marshes. We couldn't get the bigger ones to hit any live tilapia or perch, they wanted the moving lures, and like you saw mostly chrome blue rattle traps.
Honestly I'm not exactly sure. I think it has something to do with their eggs not being able to survive freshwater, but as soon as they hatch they can be acclimated to the fresh water.
Good job brother 👏 👍 🙌
That's neat really red drum in pure freshwater I heard they can survive in it and black drum as well
I'm so happy they're putting redfish in my lake (Hyco Lake, NC) it's gonna be the only lake outside Texas with redfish!
That's awesome. They get really big in the power plant lakes
Classic video
Nice video guys!

nice! Those things are not sought after but can really burn a rig if you get em in the mouth!
+David Beede I hooked into one with my ultra light setup and it spooled me before I knew what happened
Sad they actually fenced the wall, now you have to stay 200 meters from the wall.
How is there Redfish there? was it stocked?
+Patrik Wood yes, stocked by Texas Parks and Wildlife
thats awesome!
next time you should try gulp shrimp under a popping cork

+Isaac Garza but have you tried it tho
I've only tried the popping cork around the jettis at calaveras and brauniq lake it might work at the crappie wall at calaveras lake
10 :56 he to big
why can't freshwater reds breed?
