Bank Fishing A Public Pond With Ultralight Gear!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ธ.ค. 2024
- I had some free time so I decided to hop in the car and head to a local park. This park gets quite a bit of foot traffic which ultimately translates to fishing pressure in the public pond attached to it. Despite the consistent fishing pressure, I have had success here in the past, so I figured it was worth a visit.
I grabbed my ultralight rod and Donkey Tail Jr and set to work. Overall, I was able to successfully land several fish across numerous species. I was mostly catching smaller fish but eventually found a really solid Bluegill. Personally, I feel that if you fish with ultralight gear at locations which get a lot of bank fishing pressure, you are usually better off and will get more bites throughout your trip.

I love your sheer and absolute positivity while on camera, and how transparent you are about time. Most fishing channels focus way too much on competitive angling, and waking up at the break of dawn to try to catch bigger fish, but recognising how fun the little things can be is a breath of fresh air. Thank you for the content you make, the world (or at least fishing youtube) is better for it.
This was a very kind comment and I appreciate you taking the time to write it. I have fun and do my best - glad you like the videos!
I'm in my 40's. I work 13 to 15 hours a day 5 to 6 times a week. Due to the long hours I spend working, bank fishing is the go-to for me. I hope to see more bank fishing clips from you. I'm a big fan of your channel. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for sharing! Yeah life is busy these days so my guess is that bank fishing will continue to be in the cards for a while :)
I appreciate your support.
This is bringing me back to the Daiwa presso rod videos you made way back, that was when you got me into ultralight fishing. Interesting to see you evolve from short rods to the longer ones for range .Love your work keep it up forever!
I think an idea for a rod video might be a return to your roots... how do rods like a daiwa presso and 13 fishing defy feel after spending so much time on the yamaga, phenix, daiwa kages, and dobyns? The journey has surely changed you and returning to where you started for a video or two might be fun. :)
I definitely intend to do more rod videos checking in on what I like / don't like. I still love the Defy Silver for around 50 bucks and the 4pc Presso is impossible to beat for portability.
Been a while since I’ve been on the tube, but you are positive as always and a pleasure to watch and follow 😊.
Thanks so much, Brian! Hope all is well :)
Nice bluegill, and I like seeing the tiny bass. They're active and feeding, good sign.
Thanks! Tight lines 👊🏽
Great info and a successful day packed into a solid video. I can appreciate the advice and sharing. Even if you've been fishing for many years or UL fishing is new to you it's great to hear the tips. Natural colors come into play a bit more with the fall cool off. I've got a few more ultralight crankbaits custom painted to send your way Ethan. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Brian! Tight lines and enjoy the fall fishing my friend.
Love the positive vibes.
🤠👊🏽 thanks! Tight lines
Just recently got into ultra light fishing, and your videos have been super helpful. Thanks!
I love to hear it! Hope you’re catching lots of fish 🤠👊🏽
That little bass was awesome. I don't think I've caught one that small yet but that was a beautiful looking bass
Haha heck yeah man. I catch a lot of dinky bass late in the season - I think they are fish that were born in the spring.
Ultralight bank fishing! That's my jam right there! I went out with my kiddo the other day and went a bit big with a 3/32oz red Mule jig with a white 3.2" Mule Minnow and landed bass, warmouth, crappie, and a rio grande cichlid (🚫) in no time. Great video of a quick trip to the bank!
That’s awesome! I’d love to see a photo of that Rio Grande. Those fish are super neat.
More my style small baits and an ultra light with mule jigs. Love your content and products keep up the good work God bless and tight lines!!
Thanks Caleb! Have a great weekend my friend.
Great vid. Glad to see you havung fun. Oct 23. They're still biting. Fishing a retention pond behind my local movie theater. DK jr. getting it done. Caught a few pumkin seed. From 2 to 7 inches. I feel kinda bad for the people in the theater.
Haha that’s awesome! You’re out enjoying the nice weather and fishing while folks are in a dark room looking at a giant screen. I’d hang out with you if I was picking 👊🏽🤠
🎣 that perch and those other fish were nice little catches.
I definitely have to get me some of your little soft baits before trout fishing season opens up in 2024. I have to get the smallest ones.
Heck yeah! Thanks Shawn 👊🏽
@@FishAnything
You're very welcome
Can you make a video about how you like to work your lures?
I will definitely make a video on this soon!
Looks like you have a awesome time on the water keep up the awesome videos
Thank you! I definitely will 🤠👊🏽
I haven’t been to millennium at all this year. Nice job as usual Ethan.
Thanks Dave!
I've not watched the whole video, but I hope that you are repping Mule Fishing socks!!
Haha I wish I had Mule socks!
You try the new TFO UL series II rods yet? Would love to see a comparison video with the original TFO UL
I haven’t felt a need to because I heard they are the same rod simply redesigned to look a bit flashier and updated.
Sometimes you just have to be more persistent then the fish lol. Last time out they were short striking my pasture fire donkey tail jr unfortunately I didn’t have any more colors so i tried white and pink trout magnets and wasn’t even getting short strikes. Swapped to a yellow crickhopper and started catching the bluegill. Swapped to a 3” yum Dinger with a tiny Texas rig hook and caught a few bass. Multiple trips out before that they were tearing up the pasture fire donkey tail jr 🤷♂️
That’s exactly it! Gotta keep after them and mix it up.
Wondering if you could help me with figuring out good line or line combination for my ultralight setup? I'm new to ultralight fishing, I have a TFO 6"6 UL paired with a shimano vanford 1000, I been using a 1/32 oz head with a donkey Jr, line sunline super mono 4lb wasn't getting the best distance, then switched to sufix 131 G Core 6lb to 4lb colpoly trilene sensation, still not seeing a big improvement. Maybe go to a 3lb mono? Appreciate any suggestions
I’d go for spro finesse braid, Daiwa j braid x8 grand, or a 2lb copolymer option. I’ve heard great things about Phenix iron feather but I haven’t tried my spool yet so I can’t say for sure.
I know this is kinda of topic but what power and action rod do you prefer for regular Ned rigs
I like about a 6'10 Medium Light Fast rod personally
@@FishAnything that’s exactly what I was thinking! Thanks for the recommendation.
Hey Ethan got another question. Now that it it starting to get colder the fish here are starting to slow down. What size jig, baits, and colors would you recommend. Thanks again God bless and tight lines
Yo Caleb! Definitely go with more natural colors, such as green pumpkin, ranch hand, etc. I also would suggest the slowest rate of fall you can get away with. If the water really gets cold, you may consider a “float and fly” style application. Just run a mule jig under a slip float and fish it slower around cover.
@@FishAnything placed me another order for some more baits. Can’t wait to get them in!!
Nice fish
Thanks 👊🏽👊🏽
Hey I am new to the channel and UL fishing and love the content. I was wondering if I could ask for your feedback on the setup I'm looking at. Shimano Vanford 1k on a Phoenix Mirage. I was initially looking at the Elixir, but based off comments from your video on it, I am highly considering the Mirage now. I'll mostly be getting small bass and blue gill. My favorite bait is the Burkley power worm (white).
That sounds like a stellar setup!!! Can’t say I’ve used the Mirage but it seems to have a great reputation. Thanks so much for the support.
@FishAnything I've been watching a bunch of your videos. Now I've got the itch to get a kayak lol. Dock fishing is for the birds!
You ever try ultralight for walleyes?
Can’t say that I’ve targeted walleye much. I imagine I would use something more like medium light if I was pursuing them, but time will tell!
@@FishAnything think it might be something you will try later? I figure being up north you guys have all sorts of cool fish like the walleyes and pike and musky.
How tall are you because you make that 7’6ft rod look 6 foot
Lol I’m 6’5ish
How can I send you things I have recently taken up jig making but not your typical bass jig the smallest “bass” jigs I’ve been able to find is 1/8 ounce and I’ve been making micro micro versions like 1/16 and 1/32 ounce I’d love to send you some and see what you think while I’m still creating and testing new ideas I have a bunch of different designs and colors and it would be cool to see your opinion and any advice on improvements
Thank you Frank! If you want to send me gear, send me an email at mulefishingsupplies @ gmail
A t e you name yourself micro master
Please wet your hands before handling fish
First
Thank you!!
