    This one is great - lots of good little "in between" nuggets to glean. I have a hard time watching the videos with Ryan but I'm glad you left them up. Godspeed man.

    Just started getting back into fishing and found your channel. Man, what a gold mine. There is so much knowledge in your videos. Have you considered writing a book? It wouldn't have to be anything fancy, just combine all of the different tips you have give in each of your videos into a "100 tips for fishing bass" or something along those lines. I would pay good money to have a cliff-notes version of all of your videos!

    Thanks for the awesome instructional videos. I grew up in WNC but live in Minnesota now, I get homesick every time I see you fishing one of those TVA lakes. Keep up the good work.

    i just started fishing football jigs in early august. after several videos on the technique, i got a 7'3 mh lew's tp1 rod with a 7.5:1 lews team lazer and a few SK football jigs in green pumpkin. My 1st football jig fish was 5.59 lbs followed by a 3lb spot, both on lake jordann in Alabama. Thanks for doing what you do.

      FiredUp TV I feel your pain... when I first started jig fishing it was the hardest transition from a senko for me. Start off with finesse jigs and small trailers and it WILL increase the number of bites you get.

    @michaelfritz9645 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I am learning so much from your videos. I have really started to fine tune my set ups and how I fish certain lures and your videos make doing so alot easier. The other day i was fishing with a shaky head just twitching it on the bottom, popping it over rocks and it felt right and ended up catching one even though I was really just practicing my retrieves. Thanks for all the info!

  • @joshking4747
    @joshking4747 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Gene, first and foremost, thank you so much for expanding my knowledge and arsenal in the bass fishing world. With the help of you and a few other TH-camrs, I have learned so much.
    Second, my first bass rod(other than a cheap combo from Wal-Mart) was a Lew's jig/worm mh speed stick. What do I need to look for as far as choosing a rod for crankbaits, jerkbaits, frogs? Thanks again Gene, you have truly gave me a lot to understand about bass fishing.

  • @TheBushwooky
    @TheBushwooky 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great video guys. I haven't given football jigs much time on the water yet but definitely want to give them more of a shot. Can't wait for the pre-spawn, places around me are still threatening to lock up during the night.

    The detail you go into when teaching us a new lure is just what I'm looking for. You take us through how to rig the bait, where to fish it, retrieve and hook set. I know it won't be easy but I do feel I'm ready to tie a football head jig and and give it a decent try! Thanks Gene!!!

And the tips, man u put them out there cant thank you enough,but I got a question where you said not to throw these jigs in the mud , but then your buddy caught one with a mud line on it, so was you guys fishing around mud or do u think the bass was in the mud and came up on hard bottom where you guys was fishing and was wearing the mud line for a while ?

    Hey Gene/Ryan, I fish in a river in Eastern Canada that has a LOT of rock and huge boulders. The stuff is everywhere...and so are the smallmouth. What kind of dragging jig would work there if the football head jig would get stuck? Should I not drag a jig through there? thx bud

    How's the weight loss going Gene? After your videos at the beginning of the year, I decided to do something and have been doing this Ketogenic diet since 2/1/17. I'm down 15lbs as of today. At goal, I'm gonna buy a Hobie Pro Angler 14 as my reward.

    • @vegasvato55
      @vegasvato55 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      All you have to do to loose weight and keep it off is to not have carbohydrates in your last meal of the day.
      Carbohydrates are pure fuel and have no nutritional value what SO ever,
      Any unburned carbohydrates turn immediately to fat while you sleep.
      Carb up during the active periods and carb down during inactive periods...
      It really is that simple...

    I'm currently throwing the Strike King Pro jigs with the Gamakatsu hooks. I bought them for that very reason, as I generally get good results out of Gamas. Have you had the hook roll on those?

  • @keepcalmfishon2415
    @keepcalmfishon2415 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    What would you use on a large rock bottom when the water is around 40 degrees? I tried a squarebill crank bait today but I felt like it was too fast for how cold the water is. A jig would get caught up, and a senko falls between the rocks.

    @jeffreyv90 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video guys! I know in my experience, most areas I fish are small lakes or ponds with basically no hard bottom areas. Do you think you could offer some tips or maybe a video for bottom fishing in a natural lake or pond with nothing but vegetation or silt on the bottom? If I throw a football jig it is caked in weeds or silt by the time I get it back to the boat or the bank. Thanks!

    • @Flukemaster
      @Flukemaster  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Other than moving baits. I'd throw two rigs. The dropshot and the Mojo Rig.

    Can you get by fishing jigs on spinning gear? Say a 4000 size spinning reel and MH rod? With 30/40 lb braid. I read an interesting article about a successful FLW guy who done just that. Just wondering your thoughts on it? Any major disadvantages? Thanks!

    Gene, how did you mount your camera to the front of your boat? I like the angle and wouldn't mind installing something similar to my ride. It would beat having to always put the GoPro on the console.

      There are a lot of different ways to fish it but the best tip I can give you is keep a record of where you catch each fish. Over time you will find specific hot spots around the lake.

    • @Flukemaster
      @Flukemaster  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's hard to answer. I'm a fan of both. I guess if I'm going to be skipping under something as I'm fishing laydowns I'll go with the arky but that's about it.

  • @danimal2013
    @danimal2013 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey Gene, I was wondering if you set your drag tighter on heavy wire hooks, than you would on light wire hooks. Or is the drag set for the reels sake, and has nothing to do with the lure. Thank you. I started bass fishing a few years ago and you were my first channel I subscribed to. So basically you taught me to fish. Appreciate all the info. Keep it up!

    • @bryandevereaux4445
      @bryandevereaux4445 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      danimal2013 i know I'm not Gene but I like to set my drag according to my line and what I'm fishing in. Like I own a Lews LFS and it's only got 10lb max drag and I fish 50lb braid on it so it stays locked at max drag. Ideally to me you want your drag about half of your line pound test. I have a 13 inception with 18lb max drag but I fish 12lb line on it so I try to keep it around 6-8lb drag set. And if you're punching per say I'd just lock it down no matter what

    • @danimal2013
      @danimal2013 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Bryan Devereaux Thanks Bryan! Makes more sense now. Just trying to get a few more fish in the boat this year. Thanks again for the reply.

    • @bryandevereaux4445
      @bryandevereaux4445 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      danimal2013 no problem there's really no videos on this as far as I'm aware of so it's a good question. I know the saltwater guys keep there drag 20% of there line test but about 50% of your line test is pretty much good for bass fishing.

    • @rlandfish4881
      @rlandfish4881 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Grant Henderson, I feel ya on the water temps. Gene and I have had to follow them back and forth as they push up and keep getting pushed back. Over and over and over. Haha. The longer days will force them to stay up there pretty soon, regardless of temperature.

    • @granthenderson2146
      @granthenderson2146 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      RLandFish very true...longer days! I'm fishing all foreign waters after a 8 year fishing hiatus, and some of the waters are what I call stew pots. They aren't far off the Mississippi River and contribute to it, so you have every species of fish coming into these waters. you just don't know what's there until you get bit. the structure and cover says yeah they should be here, but you could have another type of fish blowing out that area. Was out on Sunday and couldn't buy a bite. Threw shaky heads, senkos, split shot rig, and even crappie jigs just to see if a small species was in there. I probably fished the most difficult water in the area first, but big risk big reward, or big fail 😂. we know the outcome on that one. when are you and gene gonna go after them bronze backs?

      RLandFish You know Ryan, you should get Gene to go trout fishing... I think that would be a cool video to see. Get him to bust out the fly rod and go for trout and smallies.

    Is there another style of jig that works on soft sandy bottoms?

      Coleary8897, an arkie style jughead won't dredge up as much bottom content. If you can find a swimj jig shaped head with a stout enough hook/good brush guard, you're in even better shape.

      Coleary8897 arky heads man just kinda keep them moving not as much as a drag but steady small hops or even bigger hops like a Texas rig will work in soft bottoms in my opinion.

    Gene Mic Ryan. Now I am going to use my football jigs. Are you going to fish Hartwell?

      We ordered the mic but I guess it's on a slow boat from China. We can't wait to get it.

    Hey gene will you do me a favor and chance you're a fluke master review picture so it's not the same as your main channel. Just started bass fishing yet to catch on going to try the Ned rig next.
