Thanks! I wish the wetsuit custom haha. The Redlip Shiner is hand painted with fabric paint, and 6 “dives” later it still looks good as new. Also, I really don’t like this wetsuit brand, so covering the logo up and putting the Redlip Shiner on there really knocks out two chubs with one stone.
Love these videos and I hope to myself get into micro fishing here in KY. One do you have a singular pole, line, and couple of hook sizes you’d recommend to someone just starting out? Two, what do you use to edit your videos and how long do they take?
Thank you! I’m sure you’ll love it, especially with the promising darter splits shaping up out in KY. I personally started out by drifting little baits with a split shot through the current on 6lb-2lb line for the shiners and that’s plenty fun. Nowindays I’m converted to mostly doing snorkel fishing which may be frustrating and/or uncomfortable for a beginner but well worth it once you see all the crazy stuff down there you couldn’t see otherwise. For snorkel and night fishing I use the end half of a Bass rod (or any stiff broken rod you have laying around) and rig a split shot along with a size ~20 hook on there baited with worms or caddisfly nymphs. Presnelled Tanago hooks from Tenkarabum.com are smaller, but for micro fishing I use the size 20 dry fly on 6lb line more often. Here’s a video of how to set up a snorkel or night fishing rod (m.th-cam.com/video/M1aRHAEUhh4/w-d-xo.html ). Night fishing with a spotlight can also be exciting because everything kinda wonders out from their hiding holes and you can see deeper. Also I use PowerDirector16 for editing and each video may take about 12 hours. If you have a fester computer then that’d prolly help.
@@IHUNTA Yeah I can definitely see the appeal to snorkel fishing as all the underwater shots that I have seen are super cool, but the water is also pretty cool up here and unfortunately I don't have a wet suit right now. I appreciate the advice on the hook size. When do you find yourself using the Tanago hooks if you said you mostly use size 20? Do you rarely use them or are they for specific target species with a smaller mouth? I've been looking at getting a more encompassing video editing software to edit my videos for my channel that allow for more possibilities than the standard iMovie can provide, so thank you again.
Thank you, that would be a decent little video idea. For micro bait I find that aquatic insects especially like caddisflies work best. These can be found by lifting cobbles (not rocks large enough to be Hellbeneder habitat) out of riffles and looking for clumps of pebbles or detritus stuck to the bottom of the cobble. Break the pebbles apart and there’s usually a plump green caddisfly nymph inside. Darters will eat that up like candy. Other aquatic insects crawling around on the surface of the cobble will work as well but they’re more brittle.
Love watching your videos. I totally relate to the excitement of micro fishing. Nice work!
Thanks! Seeing all the work and research cumulate into cool and/or new species is definitely rewarding.
Woohoo! Congrats on 100 videos, you're killing it.
Congratulations dude! Bi-weekly vids should be sick! Also is that a custom wetsuit with the redlip shiner?

Awesome video man! congrats on 100 video's!
0:13 Does this biweekly mean twice a week or once every two weeks?
Once every two weeks... hopefully...

YO. DUDE. Is that a Candy Darter at 4:20?
Yep, kinda tricky keeping the bait away from that aggressive little dude.
Any advice on collecting bait for micro fishing? Maybe a short video? Love your channel dude.
