All good advice, but probably the most important one is casting where your boater isn't. There's almost always good casts that they miss and you just need to be ready for them. The communication tip is up there too. I've had boaters completely ignore a busting fish and with their permission casted at it and caught it. Of course, I mainly fish club tournaments where co's and boater fish for the same money.
I love this channel. I started co angling 3 summers ago in a regional midwest bass club. Our big tournament is St Clair and I won it last summer with a 2 day 38lb bag. I've learned so much and these quality u tube channels are a huge part of that learning curve. Urs is in my top 3. More co angler/back boat tips please. Amateurs/beginners are ur demographic. Seth Fieder isn't watching ur jig pitching tips...lol. You skip a jig to a magdraft as pretty as anyone I've seen. I can skip a spinning reel pretty well but can't figure out the baitcast skip. Can you cover how you set up your reel for skipping? Do u offer any fish with Ty opportunities? I'll wear my Finn hoody and Bass hat. Lastly when I joined the club as a hobby, I'm 53, I didn't forsee dropping a minimum of 20k in gear and I got no boat. I dropped 250 today at bass pro and we're frozen out here just south of Chicago. Great topic, great channel. Now I want to fish with you. Randy Blaukat does it. Cmon bud. Ur not far!
Dude that’s crazy man we watch same people randy is awesome love that guy and darn it be a dream to fish with any of them but that’s thing where I’m located harder to find the pro fisherman that are not busy or ones open to chat this year plan explore more to meet more people hope I run into some my fav guys but in Hanover pa not many around I see or know
Hey Mark, this is something that I have been thinking about but honestly I just didn't think that people would want to fish with me for any reason, but if there becomes more of a demand for this then I will definitely do something like this during the Spring of this year!
@@BassFishingHQ in response to ur making money in fishing: teach me to skip docks and lay downs like you and we can price up '22 pickups!! Thx for answering.
@@BassFishingHQ There's demand! Put me on the list Tyler. Your channel is fantastic. You provide way more valuable content, knowledge, and tips than most channels out there! Its always enjoyable watching your videos knowing I'm going to lean something and become a better angler instead of watching another "insane fish catch" video. Keep up the great work!👍👍👍
Great advice. I’ve never fished a tournament before and probably never will but would it be possible for you to explain the break down of how it works. I know I could probably find another TH-cam channel about it but I really like how you present the information.
Great video for the coal anglers out here. I've been a co angler for many years. Most boaters I have gotten are really good and I've learned a lot. The last tournament I fish my boater was fishing for betting fish behind docks. He missed one about four times and he turned to go fish behind another dock. I asked if it was okay if I threw in there. And you're right I threw something completely different , it ended up to be a three and a half pound small mouth. But I did ask first and he was perfectly fine and happy that I caught that fish. From the get-go he told me what he was going to do and there was no surprises. I just had to be prepared to jump on the ones that he missed but I would always ask
Hey Tyler watch again thanks for the good info. Over the winter months now could you do one on flipping and pitching creature baits using the snell rig And it’s benefits and most of all the way to tie it properly. I’ve tried a few times and it doesn’t seem to get that cam action everyone talks about
You have to run your line through the eye of the hook from the side that the point is on. If you start it through the back side of the eye it will not have the cam action
Honestly sometimes those are the best guys to fish behind because they are going to leave a lot open. Pay attention to where he is throwing and try to hit on those pieces of cover he may be skipping or fishing by too fast
@@BassFishingHQ great point Tyler! Also, ask your boater if you can throw in an angle behind him (99% “yes” answer) and that will enable you to cover water with a moving bait.
Communication is key, just like the cliff crochet example, there is no way im not casting at a section of docks that i can reach on my side of the boat because the boater “may” go there. How do i know if he is even gonna fish that side, he may have only caught them on one side of the dock and may never touch the other side then i just wasted a golden opportunity. I cant read his mind, im just asking and then im casting.. As long as its open communication we can both have a great day on the water. When you try to be sneaky thats when u run into problems. SN: i have won a bfl from back of the boat and took 4th place in a super so im not pulling my comments out of thin air. Communicate early in the day and address things when they come up, dont wait get pissed and blowup, just handle your business, boater and coangler. Excellent tips tho and thanks for sharing, love your vids and would love to collab if you ever come back to potomac or james river. Im also down to be a practice partner if u doin james river bass open, or on the bay im signed up and confirmed for both.
Can I ask how being a coangler works that casting ahead of them is disrespectful? It seems like it would just be more efficient to maximize fishing time rather than "eh I'll leave it for him and fish somewhere we're less confident in" do fish caught by you count less? Or is it literally just an ego thing?
A co angler competes against the other co anglers in other boats. As a co angler you are not competing against your boater but you are also not sharing the fish you catch either. Definitely makes for a unique time fishing.
I disagree with you on not taking advantage of boat position to fish a spot first. In the graphic you showed, the boater would have lots of open water to fish in front of the boat, but would be blocking the co-angler's casting angles a large portion of the time by being too close to the dock to allow casting. In essence, the boater is back boating the Co. In a case like that, the Co needs to take advantage of casting where he can, when he can, as long as he stays aligned with the rear end of the boat and not casting forward.
I get your stance on being back boated...being back boated is not right and there are definitely "boaters" who do this and it is disrespectful to their CO. However, if the CO knows that their boater is going to be fishing that dock next, then the CO trying to get a cast first at the dock is disrespectful IMO. Being a CO I had plenty of opportunities to make those types of casts, even when my boater was in the bottom of the boat rigging a rod, yet I would never take that cast. IMO if he spent that kind of money and took the time to find those fish, he should get the first crack at them. Thats also just the way I was taught
@@BassFishingHQ I get and respect what you are saying. To me it comes down to circumstances. If I’m giving respect, I expect to get it. If I’m not getting respect, it goes both ways. If a boater is giving me good opportunities and not back boating me, I’ll give him first shot at everything.
@@BassFishingHQ I grew up saying that in elementary school and saw people online saying it's specifically a central Ohio thing. I never really thought about it, but I've never heard someone from somewhere else say it.
This was a helpful video. I’m curious if you might consider not always saying “he?” You made the assumption in all of your word choices that we would all be with a man. We can’t let Kristine Fischer and Hillary-Sue Martin be the only ambassadors. “They and them” is inclusive and not just a political debate.
Co Angler tip # 1 . The guy on the trolling motor will dirt you every chance they get ! Plan on it !

Great content. Thanks for sharing.
Thank You! Awesome Tips
very good video, thank you!
Great video!! Thank you 😎🤘🤘
Best co angler tip is to buy a boat and send it 😜
You always just have to send it!
Good info thanks for the vid
Thanks Jules! I appreciate it
Tyler what's your best advice for fishing behind a fast moving boater?
Honestly sometimes those are the best guys to fish behind because they are going to leave a lot open. Pay attention to where he is throwing and try to hit on those pieces of cover he may be skipping or fishing by too fast
@@BassFishingHQ great point Tyler! Also, ask your boater if you can throw in an angle behind him (99% “yes” answer) and that will enable you to cover water with a moving bait.

Communication is everything!
Most of the time I am in the back, and watch him and put the lure in different spots , and have in times cot more than he did.
Your channel is what I aspire to do. You really do a great job. And btw, your speedometer is stuck on 55.
Thanks for the kind words man. I appreciate it
I'd love to get into tournam, but I'm having issues finding tournaments in the area. I'm in southwest ms. Where would be a good place to start
Try to find a bass club near you!
Best piece of advice was communication.
Amen
Good stuff what part of Ohio you from? I live in Ohio as well fishing can be tough with all the pressure on our lakes.
how much to fish an open as a co angler please?

I don’t think you understand the difference between a co-angler and a partner
You are in theory fishing against a co-angler even though your fishing for different wins but working together at the same time.
@@BassFishingHQ I don't that's why I was asking 😂

I totally understand that as well. Boaters should and NEED to give the respect to the CO
Never heard it called "d" ing. Guess I learned some new terminology
I wouldn't say its called that....its just what I was using to paint of picture of what I was talking about
@@BassFishingHQ I grew up saying that in elementary school and saw people online saying it's specifically a central Ohio thing. I never really thought about it, but I've never heard someone from somewhere else say it.
@@JonMartin1 lol maybe it is a central Ohio thing, since that is where I am from. Thought everyone said it lol
👍🏻👍🏻
