This video is a catch all for me man. Great content. Ive been looking up what people think on throwing a tickler vs a trd and this answered it for me right here. "When one don't work...pick up the other one"
Hi Brian! Watched the video last night, tried Hot Snakes TicklerZ this morning at Castaic Lake here in SoCal (clear water) and caught 5 in 2 hours! That’s great on this high pressure lake fishing from shore! Great Tip!! Thank you!!
Love all your videos and tournament vlogs. Really look forward to your instructional stuff. Can’t really find anyone else doing how to videos on zman stuff. Please keep doing them. Thanks
During the spring in SE Louisiana, I have caught some nice ones on the green pumpkin orange TRD Crawz. I also have had good luck with The Deal, PB&J and motor oil. I've seen a few colors that are wild but not sure how good they would work here mainly Twilight but also Mood Ring, I haven't heard anyone around here say they have caught anything on those 2 colors but I'm sure there's a time and place for em.
I just used the perch color yesterday on my bay in about 5-7 foot of clear water sandy and grass bottom. Caught a 11in jack perch and a 18-20 in pike lol . so that is a dangerous color too. I'm still mythed about catching that pike
An old guide at Seminole once told me "I don't care what color, what size or what type of plastic it is. Just as long as it's green pumpkin." Sure enough 12 months of the year he fished it. Sure enough the old guy landed big fish all the time.
Everything you said about the clear and dirty water completely makes sense! Another amazing video!! I would like to see how you rig these (via dropshot, Ned heads, etc.). Also, do you use the Pro Crawz at all?
In salmon fishing. We talk about something. The color of the river (depends on geology, vegetation, soils, river bottom etc). There are brown rivers (flow through forestry often). There are blue rivers. White rivers (practically clear). Orange, pink, yellow. You name it. And it can make for stronger takes. If your bait matches color of river. You guys obviously have, another color that many great salmon rivers are. Green rivers (green baits work, in green rivers). A while back. I started to observe the water I was fishing. Thinking about it. In this way. And there is something to it.
@@BrianLatimerFishing What the soft plastics have in terms of properties, is semi opacity. Or semi transulent properties. Meaning that. What the fish perceives. Underwater. Is not 'two colors' to the Ned rig soft plastics. But rather light that shines 'through' the Ned rig plastic. Filtered by one side of the Ned rig plastic. And then filtered. By the second color. Of that plastic bait. What the fish is attracted by. Is whatever 'color' is produced by the light underwater. Being filtered 'through'. Two shades of semi transulent soft plastic. That is an effect by the way. That you can't obtain. From using one color. To the plastic.
If Ned knew about salmon. Then more than likely. He read books such as Irish man Kingsmill Moore's 'A Man May Fish'. From the seventies. Check it out. It's all about mixing two semi transulent shades of material. In the one bait. To trigger takes. And Kingsmill Moore got that idea. From guys who discovered it. Much earlier. The nineteenth century. They were boat anglers in lakes going way, way back. It's 'what they did' as their job.
Tadpoles walk around on the boat at a point of there transfer from fishy eel to frog most people don’t think of that but check it out and u will see yea they still swim around but they spend a lot of time on the bottom
why do they call it green pumpkin? is it because it's a higher ratio green mixture with orange (both secondary colors) to create a green and brown mixture? guess that makes sense.
@@timperry6095 hook ratio on the ewg is terrible. I don’t recommend any hook and head other than the original finesse shroomz and our new football head.

Awesome video and good luck to you in your up and coming fishing season.
Coppertruse is smallmouth slayer
Good to mimic bluegill in the spawn when they sit on bottom and hardly move.
Lots of clear creeks in my area. Had great luck with Coppertruse and Green Pumpkin/ Orange for smallmouth.
Thank you for another informative video Brother Brian.
Well believe that was your best tutorial yet. I watch you cause you dont over complicate it.
Nice 🐟❤️😘👍👍

Insects (invertebrates) and their Larva live and crawl bottom (Hellgrammites for example).
Wow thanks for the information. Just great. Always learn something when you teach. Thanks for taking the time.
Love the Ned rig, went out with my new Shimano Sedona and Duckett green ghost this morning caught 2 3s in about 20 minutes
Yeah, the rig even makes me look good.
Favorite angler with another banger
I love the coppertruse color. Are use it in dirty water and in Clearwater. It’s caught me quite a few bass when nothing else would.
never thought or given a ned rig a try i get asked but never do might try it sometime
Great video! I like the room analogy. Never really thought about it that way. Thanks!
That’s basically how all that works!
Helgramites, leeches, all kinds of creatures down there scooting around I'm sure.
I fish creeks a lot and the ned crawl in mud bug color is my go to
I used to have a Catawba tree at our lake house. I used to catch everything on them. Coppertreuse has those colors to me of a Catawba worm
Always an eye opener thanks Sir
We love you B Lat!
I really needed this video 💯
Thankou

PB&J TRD’s are straight fire too
Great video!!! Do you ever use the TRD BUGZ? Just recently got some and Some TRDs for the first time!
Hey Brian! Love your videos man. If you could fish only one color for smallies in clear water what would it be?
Coppertruse is my go to!
I use black senko most the time and have not had problems catchng small or lagemouth
I just used the perch color yesterday on my bay in about 5-7 foot of clear water sandy and grass bottom. Caught a 11in jack perch and a 18-20 in pike lol . so that is a dangerous color too. I'm still mythed about catching that pike
Great tips love the channel great content
Do you use the crawfish style bait that Zman produces for Ned rigs?
I do. You talking about the TRD craw?
@@beermaker1100 yeah
@@drewculbreth4805 they work great where I live in Toledo and the smallmouth in Wisconsin could not resist them when I was up there last month.

"Bright stupid and ugly" glad you said it man lol some people live those crazy colors tho lol.
I see the G3 in the background, do you no longer have the Crestliner
Still got it
@@BrianLatimerFishing love the channel Brian, especially the kayak videos!
So superglue the plastic to the jig head AFTER you discover what color they are biting on?

Anyone have color recommendations for SoCal saltwater fishing? @BrianLatimer

Show me how to rig em on the hook 😳 Does it make a difference to have light/dark side up?
Most prey has a light belly/dark back configuration, so rig in that manner if you want the bait to look the most natural.
Try it and get back with me!
Coppertruse for the win !!!!
Pb&j and the deal hula stickz!!!
For us river smallmouth fishermen if it ain’t chartreuse it ain’t no use, throw in some green pumpkin and it’s game over.
Unless they’re keying in hard on something like crawfish or shad, anything chartreuse is a killer.
Have you ever tried pouring your own plastic baits?
Are you still offering goods ?
Minnows, critters - and gonzo. My own go-tos are PB&J, Coppertruse, Watermelon, and The Deal. Not that far off from yours, B.
What about Yoga Pants? Thanks for all your videos I love’s!!!!
I ain’t never had luck on coppertruse
why do they call it green pumpkin? is it because it's a higher ratio green mixture with orange (both secondary colors) to create a green and brown mixture? guess that makes sense.
I honestly don’t know
Subbed
Green pumpkin orange >>>
Helgramites crawl on the bottom. ZMan needs to make a helgramite
caught 50 fish on california craw in one day
You can always tell what works best. By the amount of plastic still in that bag.
“Hot snakes bubble guts” now I have two reasons to say it. 💩
Where was your Yoga Pants color?
Boil them and lay them out on a cutting board. Legs will be perfect.
Basically just throw out colors till you get a good size bass good luck fishing everybody
hi
Snapping Turtles, but I don't think Bass are targeting them.
The deeper the darker the more clear and shallow brighter cuz the sun can penetrate water
How do I keep these 🤬 things from hanging up so much?
Do not not throw where there’s snags.
ZMan and other companies have Ned heads with EWG hooks that allow you to rig weedless. www.zmanfishing.com/cms/products/nedlockz_ewg/
@@BrianLatimerFishing 😂😂
@@BrianLatimerFishing I watched your videos on rigging 👍 I just had to search em. Thanks for the tips.

A good word for bottom dwelling species is "benthic"
Never heard that one!
