I appreciate that, Jason. Lots of us love to fish from the bank and it can be great if we go about it in the right way. Appreciate you. May God Bless! jimmy
Thank you for another great video, and especially for reminding us all to pack out our trash. Waterways are too valuable to use as trash dumps. God bless yall!!
Not trying to pat myself on the back or anything but when I go fishing I always pick up something, whether it's an old bait, cup, paper. I try to keep a small trash bag in my car just for that. People that are with me say, you didn't bring that. I say I know and continue. I'm doing it for the animals if nothing else... be an example.
That’s perfect, Angela, just imagine if everyone did that, all the shorelines would be clean!! The Bass N Galls were required to pick up any trash they saw, floating in the lake during a tournament! Thanks!! God Bless! jimmy
@@TwinEagleRanch Just this week, I picked up someone's discarded monster worm off the bank and repurposed it as a shaky head and caught a 3 lber!! God Bless you sir! I grew up idolizing you! A great Oklahoman!
Spent a whole day cleaning up my local Gravel Pit. That I fished for years. I made $20.00 off the beer cans alone. People wonder why they put up gates...Because they trashed the place. And if you take your dog. Make sure to clean up all them bacon and hooks left laying around. I spent an hour getting one out of my dogs tongue. She never did that again....She passed away years ago.. Best dog I ever had for 11 years..
Thank you for this video. Very informative and I am always in the learning mode. I know there are a lot of people that fish from the bank ( I am one of them at times) and I enjoy fishing anytime. Have a great rest of the week. God Bless you and Chris!
I’d like to see a video on how to set up a bait caster reel. How do you cast smaller baits so easily ? Just a little flip and it goes a long way. How do you set it up to make a short cast, flipping ? I need a big heavy bait to cast it. I also have too many backlash’s and bird nests. Thank you Jimmy I love your videos and the way you teach fishing. Not many people teach. They just show you the fish they catch.
Jimmy, you have always been one of those that teaches people to fish, and encourages folks to get out. Me and the wife always spends our first 10 - 15 min picking up trash alone. That was a great tip for folks. All the best and God bless.
A great big thank you to you and your wife for picking up trash at the lake! Just think if everyone spent 10 minutes or so on every fishin’ trip doing the same! Wouldn’t be long until there wouldn’t be any more trash to pick up!! Congrats! God Bless l! jimmy
Like Bill and Roland, I’ve been watching you most of my life and have learned so much from you. Thank you, Jimmy! And God bless you for your statement about trash. I don’t have any type of water craft and all I do is bank fish. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve picked up trash, line, you name it. It doesn’t take but a second to pocket your trash and throw it away. Jimmy you’re one of my icons and idols, thank you for all the years and lessons! God bless!
TRUTH! Boat Docks are GREAT! Caught my PB at Hamilton County Park/Chester Frost Park on Lake Chickamauga, when I lived in Hixson,Tn. You know where I am talking..lol EVERY Major Bass Fishing Tournaments were out of this ramp, for YEARS! I lived almost directly across from the Boat ramp. Caught 1000s of fish wading the banks! Great memories!
I sure do know that area well. Adam, great place to live! You’ve got hundreds of tournament fisherman operating a restocking program for you!! Lol. Can’t beat that!!
Thank You for the bank fishing tips. That's how I started fishing ponds as a young kid. I've always picked up my trash & others also. My thoughts are to leave an area cleaner, so that the next generation can enjoy it as much as I have. God gave this Beautiful Country to Live In. Let's take Good Care Of It.
Thank you again for the bank fishing vedieo .you explained bank fishing a whole lot better than everyone else. They just fished did no explaining how to. This will help me and others do better on the bank. Thanks again. God bless
My husband was raised fishing for bass and I was raised trout/salmon fishing. We are soon moving back to his home state and I needed to learn more about bass fishing. When I am at work I can listen and watch these videos and I have learned so much. Jimmy, I love you and Ms Chris and all your critters there on the ranch. I will be whooping his heinie at bass fishing soon enough and I will give the credit to you. :-) Right now I whoop him 7 out of 10 times fishing. But looking forward to doing the same thing with bass fishing. Thanks for all the knowledge that you pass along. :-)
I really liked this video. I catch most of my fish doing the same exact techniques you spoke of in this video. Also I 100% agree with keep the bank clean. I keep some Walmart sacks and a gripper with me when I anticipate trash. It's better for all wildlife of you carry out what you carry in... great video... enjoyed the audio as well... great job
Mr Jimmy I always love your tips on catching fish! I caught my biggest bass from under my neighbors dock 7 lbs 5 oz. on a Yamamoto pumpkin .orange worm wacky style! God Bless you and your family
Thanks Jimmy for the information on bank fishing, it was very interesting and informative. Looking forward to watching more videos and tips. Thank you so much, and good bless.
Great video Jimmy I own a bass boat but some days I just want to walk and fish great tips to do that keep on doing what your doing good bless and GO SOONERS
Jimmy Houston - The only fisherman we know who has a wife who doesn’t kiss him when he comes home from work until he gets that “Bass Scent” off his mouth. Ha Ha Ha
I really like the vedieo. You explain fishing on the bank a whole lot better than anyone. You always see other people's vedieos about bank fishing not really explaining how to fish the bank fishing they just fishing not really explaining their selves. Thank again. God bless .
Great video on bank fishing Jimmy.Totally agree about boat ramps .I always fish them on rivers and lakes.Always hold bluegill and other baitfish and have rocks so far under the waterwhere they kept water out to build the ramp.Makes for good ambush spots for bass.
Your right, Anthony, and so many fishermen throw back a couple that they have in the live well and decide not to clean and eat!! Plus all those local tournaments restock those ramp areas!! Thanks! God Bless! jimmy
Learned so much about bank fishing from Jimmy, The late Doug Hannon and Guido.... How I ended up with all them Berkley Flipping sticks in the 1980's... Light line fishing into the wind. How to present your bait. And how to slow fish.. And lost many a bait till I bought a Grumman 12' L1240 Jon Boat to get into them tight spots..Made the boat quit as mouse...Great times...
Fish a ton from the bank and it can produce big. BTW love the no littering message Jimmy! I hate how some people treat our lakes and ponds and why is it the smokers in particular feel like it is okay to just leave butts all over the banks and in the water. Drives me nuts. Keep the videos coming. Be Blessed!
Great informational and instructional video! U make it look so easy. Last time I tried to fish a plastic worm around rip rap, my line was damaged by the rocks- will try a spinnerbait instead. Thanks so much for what u do. God Bless.
Great info jimmy its something u can remember when your in a boat to i fill the same way about trash i always throw my trash away when i get home god bless u jimmy love your videos
I’m hoping Blaze rods are coming soon😄Wondering what’s your favorite Spinnerbait rod? Med/Hvy fast tip? I’ve picked up trash for over 40 years. I always carry a trash bag when fishing, sometimes I’m rewarded with fish, but it always looks better than when I arrived, I’ve found knives, landing nets, good lures and even money.🙂 Great bank fishing tips! You even showed the very best lose lures sometimes. God Bless Mr. Houston.
I’m saying 6-6 Med/Heavy. Been throwing these Blaze prototypes in 6-9, but that’s actually a bit too long for me!! Thanks so much in the trash, wish everybody did! By the way, I lost that lure in purpose! Lol 😂 Yeah, right!! God Bless!! jimmy
Thank you for the rod advice..I usually fish a plastic worm..but you’ve made a Spinnerbait believer out of me. Somebody’s will get that lure and have no idea it was Jimmy Houston’s Personal spinner! Thanks for all your videos and replies. Have a great night!
I’m wanting to purchase a handful of the Blaze rods too. I’ve been using the HT rods since 2014 and love them. I’m currently on business travel in Charlotte and have a 4 piece model with me. Love it.
Thanks for those bank fishing tips definitely reminded me that the way to fish a bank is parallel fishing. Additionally I too hate to see empty fish worm cups and fishing line littered around a bank.
Informational, as usual. In Texas though, brush and cacti abound on the shores of most lakes and if you decide to wade, use a life vest of some type.... preferably a USCG approved for your weight. At Canyon Lake above San Antonio, in some places , direct drop offs to 80' deep are the norm. However there are some areas you can wade out 60' into the lake before it drops off 40+'. Every year, swimmers have this problem and we lose 5 to 10 people to drowning. So, please, life vest. Thanks.
I’ll do a vid on that, Patrick. Very good question and you’re not alone on that. We do have a vid up on how to cast a casting reel you might want to take a look at!! Well try to do a Flippin video soon!! Thanks. God Bless! jimmy
Good video my brother the first two video whit your Dad but some memory of me and my nefpew my dad never had a interest to fish. But my nefpew did we had fun but watching you and you dad Mr Jack fish was great well god bless you my brother. Robert Guzman
Lots do, Mitch, but more and more are picking up trash left by others. Wouldn’t take too many and we wouldn’t have any trash left to pick up! Lol. Thanks!! Godspeed! jimmy
Wind out of the East, fish bite the least! Wind out the West, fish bite the best! Wind out of the North, fishermen should not venture forth! Wind out of the South, blows the bait in the fish’s mouth!!!! Thanks! Godspeed!! jimmy
Hi Jimmy, been a fan of yours since i was 16. I do alot of bank fishing. The majority of the cover is submerged grass, would you say concentrate on those areas? The grass is shallow and deep.
This video is very helpful as about 95% of my fishing is from the bank. I carry a telescoping rod in my hunting backpack so I can fish the public lake I hunt around in the afternoons during deer season.
I fished boat and bank spinnerbait was my go-to fish finder then I would go to rigged worm or pig and jig. It doesn't mean I didn't use crankbait or other baits, but the spinnerbait caught more fish and bigger fish in my fishing career.
Another Great video ... Hate that you lost your spinnerbait, lol !! I could wat h you cast all day ,you make it look so easy... Wish you would do a video on that .. I try but sure can't seem to get the distance that you can .. I to am a trash picker upper ... I am a photographer as will as a fisherman and I Always have to clean up the trash that people leave behind before I can get a picture without beer cans and worm cups in it .. It's Sad .. Again Great video and more great advice ... Thanks for posting and Keep'em coming ... Have a Blessed day ..
Thank You, Robert, OT is sad and we do the same for photos, most of the time, it seems! Glad to hear so many comments from friends who pick up the trash others leave! Pretty cool. We have had a few requests to do a vid about using a casting reel properly and we will do that soon!! Thanks for your comments! God Bless!! jimmy
You got it, Bobby, I’ll be with him tomorrow, I’ll tell hi you said so! I suggested he crawl out there, but he said I didn’t know how to run that fancy camera! Lol. He’s right about that! Godspeed! jimmy
I use mostly our jimmy houston Extreme Performance rods from HiTech in a 6-7 or 6-9 length. I have a few Favorite rods also I use! I use a couple reels, the JH reels on our combos and Lews!! Thanks!! God Bless! jimmy
When you started slipping around on those rocks, I thought it was going to turn into a Bill Dance video 😁. Thanks Brother. GOD Bless 🙏🇺🇸 Be careful on those rocks.
I like you Jimmy. Houston. You pay attention to DETAIL. When I had that sturgeon on - I was only about 14 years old - fishing for bullheads and had an audience of at least 8 people. I got my hook and my storm back. It lasted about 7 minutes and it came to top and rolled over.
They normally don’t give up easy at all. A sturgeon is a prehistoric fish, they say!! I’ve caught em’ up to 11 or 12 feet or so and they are really a battle!! Don’t worry too much about spellcheck, gets me all the time! Lol.
Good for you. Ernie. Sure would be good if everyone did. Hoping to do another one of those next week or so, depending in weather. Thanks. Godspeed. jimmy
I was hoping you weren't goin to walk on that pole thing. Wind was blowing...almost espected you to wade out there though.😂 Good catch on your footing there. I wouldn't want anyone to fall on the rocks. Altho it seems the Bill Dance does those kinds of things quite often. Dont know how he keeps from getting seriously hurt...Glad tho.
Jimmy, I live in Canada, we have a foot of ice right now. I fish for walleye, perch, and northern pike. We have a few lakes with small mouth bass, one lake I know with large mouth. I have caught rock bass, and small mouth. You guys target large mouth. Are they edible? I never see any catch and cooks with large mouth. Wondering if they taste good?
Rip Rap are rocks along the bank, Ellen, around bridges, boat ramps and dams to keep the bank from eroding!! Most are about basketball size or a little larger. Excellent fishing because they are good cover for crawfish plus the algae that grows on them are food for shad. The shad attract bass, catfish and Crappie!!! There you go!! W. May God Bless! jimmy
My question is,how do I stop myself from using certain baits that I'm no longer having luck with?I can throw spinners, crank baits,and things like that but after just a few casts,I keep replacing them with baits I used in the spring even though I'm still not catching anything.i haven't caught a fish in several months because of it
Since you haven’t caught any Jim a while, Jeff, it should be pretty easy for you to use different baits than you caught em in this spring! Tie you in a Spinnerbait and throw it An hour! If you don’t Catch any bass, change to a small deep diving crank. Throw it an hour. If you still haven’t caught any, throw a ned rig with a two or three inch end of a sinking worm on it! If you’re still not catching any, I’d think about Changing lakes! Lol. Seriously!! Thanks. Godspeed!! jimmy
If I had $10 for every time you said the word riff raff, I would be a rich man Jimmy. Seriously, I usually do pretty well around the marina. I always enjoy fishing the marina. God bless you Jimmy
Me too, Dale, and if I had $10 for every baas I caught off Rio-rap, I’d have a big pile of $10 dollar bills!! Marinas seem to always hold fishy and are really a great place to catch em’! Thanks!! God Bless!! jimmy
What is rip wrap? And Jimmy, I shared your TH-cam link on my Twitter page. I have around 14K followers. Maybe that will get you some more subscribers. Keep it up and don’t get discouraged brother.
RipRap is a shore protection system using big rocks to keep the bank from eroding!! Most rocks are about the size of a basketball and larger! The rocks provide great homes for crawfish, shad and bluegill. All of which attracts bass. RipRaps are great from the shore or fishing from a boat! Most boat ramps, dam areas and bridges have plenty of RioRap to fish!! Thanks, great question!! Godspeed! jimmy
Congrats, Clay, that’s a giant for anyone, bank or boat! Don’t think I’ve ever caught one that big from the shore! Proud and happy for you!! May God Bless!! jimmy
RipRap is shoreline protection made using pretty good size rocks, Jo Ann! It’s all man made! Most of these are basketball size rocks and larger! There is usually some around most boat ramps, bridges and dam areas! These big rocks attract crawfish, shad and bluegill, that the bass feed on!! Really good places to fish from the bank or a boat!! Great question! Thanks!! God Bless! jimmy
This is the best bank fishing video I've ever seen. Thank you Jimmy
I appreciate that, Jason. Lots of us love to fish from the bank and it can be great if we go about it in the right way. Appreciate you. May God Bless! jimmy
Prayers for Chris!! Thanks for your time
Always appreciate extra bank fishing tips! Thanks Jimmy!
Thank you, Mr. Houston. Us bank fishermen appreciate the tips. God bless.
Thank you for another great video, and especially for reminding us all to pack out our trash. Waterways are too valuable to use as trash dumps. God bless yall!!
Amen, Martin, we sure do need to take care of what we are Blessed with!! Thanks! God Bless! jimmy
Yes i am a bank fisherman great tips thank you
Do more videos with your sweetheart Jimmy I love seeing y'all together. She has the most heart warming voice along with you're laughter is golden.
She’s is a Jewel, Daniel!! Wouldn’t trade her for anything!! Thanks! God Bless!! jimmy
Love it Jimmy , very good tips thanks for putting out these videos.
Not trying to pat myself on the back or anything but when I go fishing I always pick up something, whether it's an old bait, cup, paper. I try to keep a small trash bag in my car just for that. People that are with me say, you didn't bring that. I say I know and continue. I'm doing it for the animals if nothing else... be an example.
That’s perfect, Angela, just imagine if everyone did that, all the shorelines would be clean!! The Bass N Galls were required to pick up any trash they saw, floating in the lake during a tournament! Thanks!! God Bless! jimmy
@@TwinEagleRanch Just this week, I picked up someone's discarded monster worm off the bank and repurposed it as a shaky head and caught a 3 lber!! God Bless you sir! I grew up idolizing you! A great Oklahoman!
Great story, I love it! Godspeed! jimmy
IAM with ya. The Same people makeing the mess are usley the first ones complaining that there isn't enough fishing holes are swimming spots.
Spent a whole day cleaning up my local Gravel Pit. That I fished for years. I made $20.00 off the beer cans alone. People wonder why they put up gates...Because they trashed the place.
And if you take your dog. Make sure to clean up all them bacon and hooks left laying around. I spent an hour getting one out of my dogs tongue. She never did that again....She passed away years ago.. Best dog I ever had for 11 years..
Thank you for this video. Very informative and I am always in the learning mode. I know there are a lot of people that fish from the bank ( I am one of them at times) and I enjoy fishing anytime. Have a great rest of the week. God Bless you and Chris!
Thanks, Bill, we’re all in a learning mode when It comes to fishing!! God Bless!! jimmy
I’d like to see a video on how to set up a bait caster reel. How do you cast smaller baits so easily ? Just a little flip and it goes a long way. How do you set it up to make a short cast, flipping ?
I need a big heavy bait to cast it. I also have too many backlash’s and bird nests. Thank you Jimmy I love your videos and the way you teach fishing. Not many people teach. They just show you the fish they catch.
I will definitely do that soon, Harold! That’s a great idea!! Thanks! God Bless! jimmy
Agreed Jimmy. Would love to see another demo on how to roll cast.
Did the reel setup vid yesterday, Logan!! Thanks! Godspeed! jimmy
Jimmy, you have always been one of those that teaches people to fish, and encourages folks to get out. Me and the wife always spends our first 10 - 15 min picking up trash alone. That was a great tip for folks. All the best and God bless.
A great big thank you to you and your wife for picking up trash at the lake! Just think if everyone spent 10 minutes or so on every fishin’ trip doing the same! Wouldn’t be long until there wouldn’t be any more trash to pick up!! Congrats! God Bless l! jimmy
Jimmy, thanks for the tips, I fished the bank many years before I bought a boat.
Like Bill and Roland, I’ve been watching you most of my life and have learned so much from you. Thank you, Jimmy! And God bless you for your statement about trash. I don’t have any type of water craft and all I do is bank fish. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve picked up trash, line, you name it. It doesn’t take but a second to pocket your trash and throw it away. Jimmy you’re one of my icons and idols, thank you for all the years and lessons! God bless!
Thanks so much for those very nice comments. I sure appreciate you hanging with us all these years and Welcome to the channel. May God Bless! jimmy

Me too, Jayhwk, some of em’ just needs to be reminded, other don’t care!! Thanks!! God Bless! jimmy
Great info Jimmy.
Great informational and instructional video! U make it look so easy. Last time I tried to fish a plastic worm around rip rap, my line was damaged by the rocks- will try a spinnerbait instead. Thanks so much for what u do. God Bless.
Thanks, Mike, worms and jigs work well on Riprap, but they are harder to fish, especially from the bank! God Bless! jimmy
Great info jimmy its something u can remember when your in a boat to i fill the same way about trash i always throw my trash away when i get home god bless u jimmy love your videos

Thanks for the great advice!!! I bank fish ponds plan on going to my first bass fishing lake soon!!! Conroe!!
Fish around those boat ramps and docks. Conroe has lots of great riprap also!! Good luck!! Thanks! God Bless! jimmy
Very good information, Jimmy! I do not own a boat so II do all my fishing from the bank and your tips will be very helpful! God Bless!
You can catch a bunch, Wayne, fish those boat ramps and park areas!! Good luck!! Thanks! Godspeed! jimmy
Just walking along the bank catching bass, letting the world go by. Jimmy, you know how to live !
It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood, Jerry! Lol. Thanks! Godspeed! jimmy
Bud as usual a very informative video that I will use until I get my jon to bass boat conversion complete.
I’ve done that with a Jon boat and once you’re done, it will be a great boat to fish from!! You’ll love it! Thanks! God Bless! jimmy
Jimmy Houston Outdoors me and the boys are working on it together and they are loving it!
Thanks for those bank fishing tips definitely reminded me that the way to fish a bank is parallel fishing. Additionally I too hate to see empty fish worm cups and fishing line littered around a bank.
Thanks Jonnathan, even if your in a boat! Sometimes hard to get folks to cast up in front of the boat!! God Bless!! j
Great video.
Thanks Jimmy, I fish from the bank and love spinnerbaits.
Informational, as usual. In Texas though, brush and cacti abound on the shores of most lakes and if you decide to wade, use a life vest of some type.... preferably a USCG approved for your weight.

Every year, swimmers have this problem and we lose 5 to 10 people to drowning. So, please, life vest. Thanks.
That’s great advice, Jerry, probably should have thought about that and mentioned it myself! Thanks!! Godspeed! jimmy
Hello Mr Jimmy
So I have just started to fish with a. Bait caster and trying to learn how flip it..can you explain to me how to be a better flipper
I’ll do a vid on that, Patrick. Very good question and you’re not alone on that. We do have a vid up on how to cast a casting reel you might want to take a look at!! Well try to do a Flippin video soon!! Thanks. God Bless! jimmy
@@TwinEagleRanch saw this comment.. I was thinking about how far you were casting it with what looked like an effortless flip! I’d love to learn
Good video my brother the first two video whit your Dad but some memory of me and my nefpew my dad never had a interest to fish. But my nefpew did we had fun but watching you and you dad Mr Jack fish was great well god bless you my brother.
Robert Guzman
And the wait starts
Think this might have been your suggestion!! Bank fishing!! God Bless!! jimmy
@@TwinEagleRanch it was thanks Jimmy for doing it. God bless stay warm this week looking a little cold
Always carry bags with me to pick up trash. Drives me nuts when people don’t pick up after themselves.
That’s the right thing to do, Chris! Way to go! Thanks! Godspeed! jimmy
That's why I've stopped from fishing some of my favorite places people leave trash. Very interesting video
Lots do, Mitch, but more and more are picking up trash left by others. Wouldn’t take too many and we wouldn’t have any trash left to pick up! Lol. Thanks!! Godspeed! jimmy
awesome bass fishing Jimmy!#RippinLipsInc.
Do you have a wind preference like out of the east or west or does it matter? Thanks
Wind out of the East, fish bite the least!
Wind out the West, fish bite the best!
Wind out of the North, fishermen should not venture forth!
Wind out of the South, blows the bait in the fish’s mouth!!!!
Thanks! Godspeed!! jimmy
@@TwinEagleRanch Thanks, I have always heard that out of the east is least, didn't know if it was so. God Bless!
Hi Jimmy, been a fan of yours since i was 16. I do alot of bank fishing. The majority of the cover is submerged grass, would you say concentrate on those areas? The grass is shallow and deep.
Yes they do, Robert. That grass is a big plus for the fish and the fisherman! Thanks. May God Bless. jimmy
I also have learned that if u use the 1 to three method u will find a lot of the bass that are moving a little deeper
Amen on the trash. Deal with it all the time as a homeowner on a lake. Some people would be surprised at what people will throw away!!
Just a friendly reminder might help a little! Some Folks just don’t care! Unfortunately! Thanks! Godspeed! jimmy
This video is very helpful as about 95% of my fishing is from the bank. I carry a telescoping rod in my hunting backpack so I can fish the public lake I hunt around in the afternoons during deer season.
That’s perfect, Jacob, get a little fishing in very time You can!! This time of the year, not much competition out there!! Thanks! God Bless! jimmy
I caught 3 off the bank this morning on a Lucky e strike and Hawg caller spinnerbait :)
Congrats Ninja, keep after them!! Stretch of better weather here! God Bless! jimmy
I fished boat and bank spinnerbait was my go-to fish finder then I would go to rigged worm or pig and jig. It doesn't mean I didn't use crankbait or other baits, but the spinnerbait caught more fish and bigger fish in my fishing career.
Yeah, me too, Fiore, day in and day out, hard to beat!! Thanks! God Bless! jimmy
Another Great video ... Hate that you lost your spinnerbait, lol !! I could wat h you cast all day ,you make it look so easy... Wish you would do a video on that .. I try but sure can't seem to get the distance that you can .. I to am a trash picker upper ... I am a photographer as will as a fisherman and I Always have to clean up the trash that people leave behind before I can get a picture without beer cans and worm cups in it .. It's Sad .. Again Great video and more great advice ... Thanks for posting and Keep'em coming ... Have a Blessed day ..
Thank You, Robert, OT is sad and we do the same for photos, most of the time, it seems! Glad to hear so many comments from friends who pick up the trash others leave! Pretty cool. We have had a few requests to do a vid about using a casting reel properly and we will do that soon!! Thanks for your comments! God Bless!! jimmy
Thats what the cameraman is for Jimmy......walking that plank hahaha........good stuff brotha
You got it, Bobby, I’ll be with him tomorrow, I’ll tell hi you said so! I suggested he crawl out there, but he said I didn’t know how to run that fancy camera! Lol. He’s right about that! Godspeed! jimmy
Mr jimmy from Ohio what size rod reel line do you use for Spinnerbaits Thank You Bless you.
Six and a half foot and seven foot Med- Heavy, David. Godspeed! jimmy
What rod/reel do you throw the spinner bait on? God bless and thank you for the bank fishing video!
I use mostly our jimmy houston Extreme Performance rods from HiTech in a 6-7 or 6-9 length. I have a few Favorite rods also I use! I use a couple reels, the JH reels on our combos and Lews!! Thanks!! God Bless! jimmy
Jimmy Houston Outdoors medium, med heavy or heavy? Thanks for the reply! I’ve been a fan since i was a kid
Med/Heavy
When you started slipping around on those rocks, I thought it was going to turn into a Bill Dance video 😁. Thanks Brother. GOD Bless 🙏🇺🇸 Be careful on those rocks.
That thought crossed my mind too! Thought I was going swimming a time or two, Luke!! God Bless!! jimmy
I like you Jimmy. Houston. You pay attention to DETAIL. When I had that sturgeon on - I was only about 14 years old - fishing for bullheads and had an audience of at least 8 people. I got my hook and my storm back. It lasted about 7 minutes and it came to top and rolled over.
Did you notice how TH-cam changed the spelling on the word “ worm “? I did not spell storm. Sorry for that...
They normally don’t give up easy at all. A sturgeon is a prehistoric fish, they say!! I’ve caught em’ up to 11 or 12 feet or so and they are really a battle!! Don’t worry too much about spellcheck, gets me all the time! Lol.
Love the bank fishing video...and i keep my ice bags to put my trash in....
Good for you. Ernie. Sure would be good if everyone did. Hoping to do another one of those next week or so, depending in weather. Thanks. Godspeed. jimmy
SWEET!!!!
I was hoping you weren't goin to walk on that pole thing. Wind was blowing...almost espected you to wade out there though.😂
Good catch on your footing there. I wouldn't want anyone to fall on the rocks. Altho it seems the Bill Dance does those kinds of things quite often. Dont know how he keeps from getting seriously hurt...Glad tho.
Lol. I was bluffing, Angela, might have done that a few years back but not now!! I’m not my buddy, Willie Dance!!! Thanks! God Bless! jimmy
@@TwinEagleRanch You're too funny. Having fun living life.
Jimmy, I live in Canada, we have a foot of ice right now. I fish for walleye, perch, and northern pike. We have a few lakes with small mouth bass, one lake I know with large mouth. I have caught rock bass, and small mouth. You guys target large mouth. Are they edible? I never see any catch and cooks with large mouth. Wondering if they taste good?
WOW Your so AWESOME WOW nice one!
Does it work for pan fishs too
You bet, Scott. Crappie and bluegill can be found in the same type places as bass!! Good luck. Thanks. God Bless! jimmy
I’m sorry, I don’t know what rif raf is can someone explain?
Rip Rap are rocks along the bank, Ellen, around bridges, boat ramps and dams to keep the bank from eroding!! Most are about basketball size or a little larger. Excellent fishing because they are good cover for crawfish plus the algae that grows on them are food for shad. The shad attract bass, catfish and Crappie!!! There you go!! W. May God Bless! jimmy
My question is,how do I stop myself from using certain baits that I'm no longer having luck with?I can throw spinners, crank baits,and things like that but after just a few casts,I keep replacing them with baits I used in the spring even though I'm still not catching anything.i haven't caught a fish in several months because of it
Since you haven’t caught any Jim a while, Jeff, it should be pretty easy for you to use different baits than you caught em in this spring! Tie you in a Spinnerbait and throw it
An hour! If you don’t Catch any bass, change to a small deep diving crank. Throw it an hour. If you still haven’t caught any, throw a ned rig with a two or three inch end of a sinking worm on it! If you’re still not catching any, I’d think about Changing lakes! Lol. Seriously!! Thanks. Godspeed!! jimmy
Gotta take a drink everytime he says rip rap
wish I could cast like that
30 sum years later and he's still the spinnerbait kid. Your like a bottle of wine Jimmy!!!
Definitely getting older, Steve, but still enjoying chunking those blades!! Lol. Thanks! God Bless! jimmy
Elk Creek Landing? At the beginning of video.
I find alot of baits that people leave behind, bank fishing.
That me Jimmy. No Boat. Will be fixing that soon
💯💯💯💯
Shade, that's the most important! Ha, as I get older, the more I get worn out by the sun. I really believe the sun takes half your energy.
It does, David, especially these high humidity days we have in the South. Have a great one. God Bless! jimmy
If I had $10 for every time you said the word riff raff, I would be a rich man Jimmy. Seriously, I usually do pretty well around the marina. I always enjoy fishing the marina. God bless you Jimmy
Me too, Dale, and if I had $10 for every baas I caught off Rio-rap, I’d have a big pile of $10 dollar bills!! Marinas seem to always hold fishy and are really a great place to catch em’! Thanks!! God Bless!! jimmy
What is rip wrap?
And Jimmy, I shared your TH-cam link on my Twitter page. I have around 14K followers. Maybe that will get you some more subscribers.
Keep it up and don’t get discouraged brother.
Thanks a bunch, Tom, I appreciate that! I’m sure we will get some subs from your Twitter page!! I appreciate you!! God Bless!! jimmy
RipRap is a shore protection system using big rocks to keep the bank from eroding!! Most rocks are about the size of a basketball and larger! The rocks provide great homes for crawfish, shad and bluegill. All of which attracts bass. RipRaps are great from the shore or fishing from a boat! Most boat ramps, dam areas and bridges have plenty of RioRap to fish!! Thanks, great question!! Godspeed! jimmy
This is clay again my biggest bass from bank 8 and 3 quarter pounder
Congrats, Clay, that’s a giant for anyone, bank or boat! Don’t think I’ve ever caught one that big from the shore! Proud and happy for you!! May God Bless!! jimmy
What is riff raff?
Rip rap- rocks along shore to help prevent erosion.
RipRap is shoreline protection made using pretty good size rocks, Jo Ann! It’s all man made! Most of these are basketball size rocks and larger! There is usually some around most boat ramps, bridges and dam areas! These big rocks attract crawfish, shad and bluegill, that the bass feed on!! Really good places to fish from the bank or a boat!! Great question! Thanks!! God Bless! jimmy
Jimmy you dance on the bank like me except I fall down and go in the water.
