    A terrible day of fishin is still a pretty good day ! Nice gar and some sunnies , no skunk ! Good enough ! Some days you wear em out , some days your just killin time . Either way it beats workin 9 to 5 . If it gets too frustrating head for " The Pond " . We know there's big uns in there ! Always enjoy your vids no matter what you catch 😎👍👍

    • @redneckmini14
      @redneckmini14 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This spot floods quite easily in the spring because of the river it feeds into. So there is no telling what could migrate into the spillway. This area is home to quite a few species of fish, which could make for some great content from Nick.

    In the UK a classic bait for carp is dry dog biscuits, we actually go to the extent of using special drill bit tools to hair rig hard baits like boilies but dog biscuit isnt too hard to rig with basic baiting tools. Id be interested to see how different dog foods would work as bait for you.
    A semi secret bait for giant pike over here is using frozen rats (commonly sold as snake food) on treble hook rigs, not many people use them but the results from those who do cant ve ignored so itd be another really interesting "exotic" bait for catfish, mice could work too since both mice and rats are natural prey of fish like catfish (as are live pidgeons for giant weld catfish) hope to see more interesting bait experiments in future along with the classics like shrimp

    Hopefully, spring comes. I'll find smaller sun fish to use. Bought smaller hooks. I'll use pieces of nightcrawlers. If I can't find descent nightcrawlers, I'll use white soft plastic grub worms. I'm sure I'll make out ok. I won't break up too many big nightcrawlers. I'll use a bunch of big nightcrawlers for big fish for whatever bites. Also, I'll use a 1/8 oz or a smaller 1/16 oz white crappie jig with white grub worms. Caught nice smallies on 1/8 oz white crappie jigs with white grubs. Put trophy bass on it'll represent a small baitfish because the grub has a ribbon tail. 😊

    I've fished all three of those spots because they are really close to where I work. The first spillway I have fished the most. Haven't had too much luck, but I have caught a shortnose gar and snagged a line being trailed behind a pretty decent channel cat. The lake that feeds it has a lot of different species. I personally have caught a few smallmouth buffalo in the lake, along with lots of bluegill and longear sunfish, but I know there are largemouth and spotted bass in there along with many other species. It is just hard to fish without a boat because of all the snags along the edge. Hope to see you fish this spot again. I'm always interested to see what is living in my fishing spots that I have yet to catch.
