Went out on a local eutrophic lake today April 14th. Water temp 58° sunny and breezy. Caught 4 decent Largemouth and 7 Northern pike in 4 hours all on a 3/8 oz white/chartreuse spinnerbait with a single #4 silver colorado blade in 2-3 feet of water.
Hey smart towel 117 I don't know about that I've been using that line for years dragging a pee wee football jig in table rock lake and I've dragged that jig all day long through rock's and I check my line constantly and I don't even have Nick's on my line he had to of scraped that line across a sharp rock or something sharp on wood. Because that's what the line is built for.
First of all I love your videos keep them up! But I think it’s hilarious how all these guys and gals on yt talk about this pole or that pole, this or that color, gear ratios and so on. I have like 4 spinning reels total all with Ugly Sticks ($50 or less) and maybe use a total of 4 or 5 different baits. I punch, fish beds, and open water and never have issues pulling in quality and quantity of bass here in central FL. My point is for the ones watching these videos and are new to bass fishing, don’t get overwhelmed, you can have great success with very little and don’t have to get caught up in all the different variations of everything.
A lot of truth in what your saying. My 2 cent is learn to worm fish and keep it simple with natural colors. Think about every cast and where it lands and if you get bit try to duplicate that cast. Above all use a small worm weight and let the worm hit the bottom and watch your line!
I haven’t seen you since November of last year. I fell off for the winter. I tried fishing and my hands were freezing. I didn’t catch anything for a while but I caught my first bass last month and I’ve been catching at least one bass every time now March-April, I respooled my baitcaster yesterday and I’m watching this video before I go fish later today. Good to see you again on my feed and I’m really glad I have most these baits already in my tackle box. Looking forward to the next few weeks of videos. You are one of the founding fathers who taught me about bass fishing. I would be as good if it wasn’t for your channel!
Hey gene, watched a video of yours a while back about using fish grips, I can’t seem to find the video, but I was hoping I could see a picture of your tether etc, had a pb bass today put the grips on it to get my board and scale. and when I pulled off the fish tether was there with the loop but the fish grips were gone, saw the fish on the bottom with the fish grips on it but couldn’t get ahold of it.
Thank you for the information. Would you use the same rods and reels with the kayak as you would with a boat and what do you think of the floating rattle traps and your thoughts on the old rattle top and rattle stick. I loved them this time of year as well.
Interesting thoughts on the yamatanuki. Watched a tactical bassin video that said it’s not about the fall but more about the rise when you move the bait. They fish it like a Texas rig like you said but when a Texas rig does not get bit.
I seen you you last Sunday, on 75 south about dusty dark. I live in Cincinnati area, so this was a nice surprise. I wish I coulda talked to you, but there was alot of traffic, I didn't want to scare u by blowing horn. But it was diffently you, I was right next to you. Nice to see the guy I berm watching, buying tee shirts from for 8 years!!!!!!
Great video. I enjoy all your videos. My favorite was the one you said if you’re not doing well on jigs to take only jigs out one day. Which I did and know it’s my favorite bait. Thanks for all your tips!!!
Hey man. Ive lived in NWO since 2016. And i havent caught a single bass out here. Im used to throwing in a bobber and a worm in NY and catch them day or night. Any tips or areas i can try and what to use? I live just outside of toledo
I live in Bella Vista AR and we have 7 man made lakes I went and tried everything you recommend today and got nothing. I didn't even get anything on my go to flukes I can see the small bass up on the bank and they were not chasing anything either. My question do man made lakes make that much difference? Clarity was about 4' with a green tint.
I usually use braid with abrazx 10lb fluorocarbon leader . I'm wanting to use straight floro on 1 of my spinning reels . I purchased 15lb Would you recommend me putting on 10lb or 12lb instead . Fishing mostly ponds from a kayak. Thanks

Have you seen Tyler berger's video about various fluorocarbon lines? He discovered that abraisx is less abrasion resistant than invisx
That was a very well done video
It was pretty eye-opening. Top dollar doesn't mean top performance.
I’ve started using Yo-Zuri after that video and love it

@@michaelloucks4448 You're anecdotal evidence vs his with video as proof. His has more weight.

Up here in the Ozarks we are catching them on jigs, jerkbaits, warts/ Rock Crawlers.
Last time I was up that way we caught them on everything that had a hook attached to it. I love small mouth bass fishing.
So glad you are back to making videos consistently. You taught me everything I know. Keep the good videos coming!
Still love spinning rods!!
When is your new kayak setup walk through coming
Dang, man, I'm glad to see you're okay. I feel like I haven't watched one of your videos in quite a while. Thank you for the tips.
Been waiting for these to drop. Good chatting with you at the classic by the way!

Actually the Yamamoto bait isn't new just now selling in the states. It's been in the Japanese market for years.

Great video. I’m glad you’re back to these type informative vids with great instructions.
Keep it up my friend.
I heard red was a good color in the spring

Great tips for April. Only fish yesterday was on a 6thsense swim jig.
I bought the Meta 7"3 Heavy but the handles are too short..at least compared to what I am used to and prefer
Speaking my language with the jackhammer! I’m eager to try the slobberknocker in brush where I’m headed tomorrow
Also I enjoy your vids they take me back when I was a kid watching Bill Dance and Jimmy Houston. You got me wanting to fish again.
What is that hook keeper on your rods? I need some of those.
So happy you're making videos again!

I just ordered the G2 reel last night
april baits, i still have ice on top of water here!!!! so mad,
Hey man. Ive lived in NWO since 2016. And i havent caught a single bass out here. Im used to throwing in a bobber and a worm in NY and catch them day or night. Any tips or areas i can try and what to use? I live just outside of toledo
What's the reasoning behind throwing a swim jig over a bladed jig? Isn't a balded just a swim jig that vibrates?
What’s going on with 13fishing are they not making soft plastic baits anymore?
I live in Bella Vista AR and we have 7 man made lakes I went and tried everything you recommend today and got nothing. I didn't even get anything on my go to flukes I can see the small bass up on the bank and they were not chasing anything either. My question do man made lakes make that much difference?

Hey gene! I like those hook keepers like what you have on your shakey head rod. What are those?
Chatterbait. I put jig weed guard in it. Comes through every.
Good video, finally going to get out on the water this weekend!
Bomber has new Flatside Crankbaits on Tacke Warehouse
So now that I have to get that new Yamamoto bait I have determined that you are not healthy for my bank account. Thanks.
Let’s go! Another flukemaster video! Love these!
Awesome stuff! Thank you for sharing with us!
Can someone tell me what the white wheel is?
I usually use braid with abrazx 10lb fluorocarbon leader . I'm wanting to use straight floro on 1 of my spinning reels . I purchased 15lb Would you recommend me putting on 10lb or 12lb instead . Fishing mostly ponds from a kayak. Thanks
10lb for sure. Or even 8lb. Depends on how much structure you’re dealing with
Do these baits work just as good in the northern states in April?
Great video! Appreciate you sharing!
I'm going fishing on Friday hopefully
😮
