Made use of 3 of these yesterday. Started with a jerkbait and caught a few, switched to a swim jig and got some and finished with a drop shot after they got less aggressive!
Generally I'm a shore fisherman. I don't have room for a portable inflatable raft. I use walking bait or a shallow jerkbait because I can only cast so far. I still need work with my casting because I couldn't go fishing for many years for personal reasons. I just got back to fishing my 2nd year back to fishing relearning what I forgot an learning more as I go
Hey man just caught a 5 pounder yesterday using your pink wacky rig suggestion. Swallowed the hook and all. I get all of my REAL tips from you. Thanks and God bless man.
This is probably one of my favorite top ten lures. Caught so many bass and northern pike with this lure as it looks like a real fish. This is a must in every Boundary Waters Trip.
Man your transitions and calls to action are golden. I usually come here just to learn how to make great videos…and get some tips of course. Great stuff as always.
Out of frustration I pulled my jerk bait rod out a week ago.. and was surprised at how it changed the day. Like many others, I had relegated it to cold water. Thanks for the great video.
How do you fish a jerkbait? Love your videos ❤. I am a subscriber on both channels. I am 11 years old and I catch a lot more bass because of you. I have seen so many bass videos and none of them worked, but then I found you.
Wow thanks a lot. But I don't like tactical bassin because I have watched his videos and they didn't help. I don't mean to afend you but I like bass fishing hq a lot better.
Fishing has been tuff the past few days in central FL...The month of MAY was awesome I got a #10 on tape and measurements for a mount and been wearing them out with a swim jig out deep..Past few days nothing..wonder if it is the moon?? Basically no moon Last few days
When it comes to topwater fishing I think wind and cloud cover play a big part in what bait I’m going to throw as well as cover . More chop and clouds a plopper is going on , calm with no clouds a walking bait . Heavy cover is always getting a frog ( and almost always black ) early morning or evening a wakebait is money . Great video as always with solid advice for all skill levels
I’m prone to throwing top water all day even when it’s not working 😂 something about working a spook or listening to a jitterbug and waiting for the explosion just really does it for me
@@brycerush98 it’ll work all day , you just need to find the right spots to throw it. Overhanging brush and hard weedlines and you’ll catch em’ all day !!
Love the channel bro. Learn alot about bass fishing. I have been reeling in alot more quality bass just from what I learn on your channel keepem coming
Sup Tyler. Great one because I usually put some of these away come June. Makes me remember your video on types of grass, the pond we go in boat most often, has a cove you can't fish from shore that is all hydrilla, it's about 2ft below water surface, we catch some bass but mostly pickerel here in RI, is it worth throwing a topwater bait over it? Or punching a Texas rig into? Or do bass just stay on outside of the hydrilla? Looks so juicy but thick, and about 300yds in and 100yds wide? We just fish edge and move on. It's a custom bass fishing pontoon boat that can go in 3" water. Sry such a long question lol. Ty tc
Run a topwater over those weeds bud !! There are “holes” in it the bass ambush from and under it there are “paths” the fish move in ( just like deer in the woods ) They’ll shoot up from those weeds and crush a walking bait or plopper
Another 🔥🔥🔥🔥vid‼️‼️ Any chance you got my message a few days ago? I wanted to know if you could recommend a book on the basic info on bass? Like what they can/cannot see? Or more than “bass are predators “
What would be your take on using a wobble head football jig to fish a swimmin’ super fluke on the bottom? I’m hoping to give a little different presentation on a small heavily fished county lake in TN. Thanks for any info.
Deep diving crank saved my butt last sunday... I was looking at a skunk for the day when I decided to try out a new rapala I bought the week prior.. That baby was worth every penny, especially when my fishing buddy made the bet of whoever catches the next fish gets a free lunch... Burger King never tasted so good... 🤣 🤣 🤣
Where I live in New Jersey, almost none of these lures would work other than the ribbon worm. Most of our ponds and small lakes are so overrun with vegetation and snot grass. Almost nothing with a treble hook is remotely usable.
Hello fellow NJ fisherman. The jerkbait will work as long as the vegetation isn't on the top. You only need a few feet of water above the grass for it to work. Sounds like it's Texas rigged Senkos or Yum Dingers for you. This time of year some top water things might work, Tight lines!
Fellow NJ scum fisherman😌I feel your pain. Try swimming a cut-tail worm just over the grass. Or a paddle tail rigged with a weighted swimbait hook. And yes a frog 🐸 is always the best bet, can fish that through anything.
Hey Tyler I got a video idea for you if you wouldn't mind doing? You may already have one up that I didn't see. Anyways so I'm getting a bass boat tomorrow from my uncle for free but it has no electronics on it. Where do I start?
I’m not a professional and still learning myself but depending on the clarity of the water and depth I typical go with a brighter color unless I’m using something with a blade that adds vibration. But maybe a foot to two feet or less of clarity I’ll go with a brighter color
Hey Tyler, what are some colors you would use to fish black coffee water? I'm south Georgia and the water is straight foldgers coffee. I've had some luck with green pumpkin.
I think it's funny when I hear some TH-camrs say that when you're up north you want to use smaller baits cuz the bass aren't as big. In Washington where I live the average bass like catches three to four pounds. Sure there are smaller bass but if you know what you're doing and you're okay bass angler it's threes and fours all day long. There are about five lakes that are within an hour from where I live and every single one of them has largemouth 7 lb and heavier. Northern Idaho maybe even better than Washington there are giant largemouth spots and smallmouth spots there. And if you look at State records Washington and Idaho are in like the top 10 for biggest bass.
Biggest mistake using topwaters is using braid...ZERO stretch w/ trebles...will NEVER be a good scenario...sure, u will still catch plenty. However, u will lose plenty, too...that goes with any treble bait..that's also the reason people say "change out the hooks"..there's nothing wrong with alot of stock hooks...if they are bending, I'd be willing to bet braid is being used...my 2 cents...Mono will always be king with trebles
@@DavidBronstein1961 personally, I like 20lb. Sufix Elite for my topwaters with trebles..except jerkbaits...12lb. Other good options- 15 lb. Big Game, 17lb. Stren original, 17-20lb. Trilene XL, 17-20lb.XPS Bass pro Excel....if u use the smaller versions of topwaters, 12-14 lb would work...Mono is the most versatile line, I think...best to respool occasionally...most come in big spools for that reason. buzzbaits, spinnerbaits, cranks, wakebaits, swimbaits..and believe it or not, I use 20-25lb. Big Game for frogs, if I'm using them around any cover other than grass. A heavier mono abrasion resistance is better than any braid around wood/rocky cover...braid is a great line for frogs, texas rigs, Jig n' craw, and senkos...but that's just me!
Tyler, I just got my bass boat today and I was wondering since you live in ohio and fish alumn creek, what are some good spots so fish at alumn creek and maybe hoover reservoir?

Jerkbait is the nickname the bass have given me at the lake.

Ty, keep putting out great content bud. I'm here till the end. You've helped me catch so many 🐟 🐠 🎣 🐡, so thank you!
Me too bro. I’ve always considered myself a avid fisherman but this guy really made me better
Big worm and a rising jerk bait worked well. May and June videos have been spot on. Thank you Tyler!
Out of frustration I pulled my jerk bait rod out a week ago.. and was surprised at how it changed the day. Like many others, I had relegated it to cold water. Thanks for the great video.

I think he actually has a few videos on jerkbait fishing. Tactical bassin also has jerkbait videos
Wow thanks a lot. But I don't like tactical bassin because I have watched his videos and they didn't help. I don't mean to afend you but I like bass fishing hq a lot better.
Trolling an original rapala through shallow weeds and along the edges has been great for smallies, walleye and pike for me
Your channel has been growing by the minute these past months, congrats you deserve it, really awesome stuff on here

Love the channel bro. Learn alot about bass fishing. I have been reeling in alot more quality bass just from what I learn on your channel keepem coming
I absolutely love hearing that. Thanks for watching
Thanks
Moved to NC from Columbus Ohio, love your videos .
Really like this video very helpful 👍 I'll be trying these . Thank you

Yes we have a 10 acre pond with coontail all the way up to 1 foot from The surface then American pond weed around the edges
@@joeschranz4525 wow. Do bass go in the thick?or topwater?
@@ronaldyeater3322 it’s an almost complete town water pond. There is only Like a 50x50 foot hole where there is no coontail. I’ve caught 7 lbs
Run a topwater over those weeds bud !! There are “holes” in it the bass ambush from and under it there are “paths” the fish move in ( just like deer in the woods ) They’ll shoot up from those weeds and crush a walking bait or plopper
@@Oldbasshole makes a lot of sense. Thanks brother. Hope to get on boat this year .
Yes been waiting for this!!!
Another 🔥🔥🔥🔥vid‼️‼️
Any chance you got my message a few days ago? I wanted to know if you could recommend a book on the basic info on bass?
Like what they can/cannot see? Or more than “bass are
predators “
I caught my biggest bass of my life and it was because of one of your videos. It was 4 and a half pounds. I am 11 and that fish bummed me out .
Bummed you out ?
Why did it bum you out? That should be an exciting moment for you.
Thanks for the tips.

I’m going smallmouth fishing in Connecticut this summer for the first time are there any tips that you might have for me?

Try the frog

That swimbait rig with a football jig is naughty 😏are you slow reeling that thing on the bottom too?
You know it. Low and slow
I don't have any kind of depth finder on my kayak should I just blind cast out deep or should I stick to fishing visual cover?
Stick to the shallows, some are always there.
What is considered a long cast (in yards) for say getting a crank down to say 10-15 feet? 12 lb mono line
20-25 yds.
When fishing a swim bait in deep water were there less light, does color matter?
I’m not a professional and still learning myself but depending on the clarity of the water and depth I typical go with a brighter color unless I’m using something with a blade that adds vibration. But maybe a foot to two feet or less of clarity I’ll go with a brighter color

JuneBug, Black/Blue, White, Chrome.
@@kellymoore4517 thank you!
I believe the link for the drop shot weight is incorrect. It brings you to a swimbait jighead

Even though you are north, I think he could mean north as in midwest.
@@NorthWoodsWes I think he means anywhere where the spawn begins in June. Washington, Oregon, idaho, montana, etc
I just find it funny as a Canadian lol. If you’re in “the north” *looks at map* yeah yeah that’s me.
That thumbnail looks like a walking top water,with a bill. Maybe a wake bait? Idk but that made me watch this video
What are your 2 favorite Roboworm colors
Personally just killed them deep and shallow with crankbaits
Good stuff
3/8 to 1/2 ounce tungsten weight with a 10 inch ole monster worm dragging out in 25ft is my bread and butter during summer
What kinda hook do you use?
@@Deeshiesty25 5/0 trokar worm hook
1. Jig
2. Jig
3. Jig
4. Jig
5. frog
...and for the other 11 months you can use a Jig and 3, 4, 5 months depending upon your latitude..the frog.

Hello!
What state are you in?

If you're going to throw a swim bait I would just throw the a rig
Roboworm 😁
Isn’t that actually a shakey head and not a swim bait?
jerk baits catch a lot of fish for me year round
Tyler, I just got my bass boat today and I was wondering since you live in ohio and fish alumn creek, what are some good spots so fish at alumn creek and maybe hoover reservoir?
