Great video, bud. A lot of young pups will see this and be inspired. Just think about how far video production has come in our lifetime. Kids will be producing some amazing things in the future... and I believe you are one of the people who will have influenced many of them. Good stuff.
I'm about to switch from using my phone to using action cameras and the battery thing was a real concern, so thank you for putting this stuff out here Jay
Excellent video. With a fishing channel myself its already time consuming trying to film and edit. I appreciate the time you took out to explain and share your setup. I really need to understand the "gradiant" thing you were talking about. Night and day difference in the color quality. Can that be done using a hero 5?
This is awesome Jay! Very informative cause my plan is to start filming my own hunts and fishing vids! Gonna take a while to figure everything out but I can't wait!
I like all your videos in that they are very informative, clean audio, clean video not too long in any cut. They make we want to go out and fish or just enjoy nature. Appreciate you sharing your gear and techniques and look forward to other “behind the production” videos as well. In particular I’d love to learn how you sync up the sound in post. Time codes? Clapboards? etc Thanks!
Great tips for the beginner such as myself. , got my first go pro in October and filming compares to tournament fishing to me Looking forward to open water fishing this year that much more ,, keep the tips an the amazing content coming. You set the bar high when it comes to fishing content 👍👍🎣🎣🇨🇦
From a fellow creator, I always found finding decent music a challenge. I often find that music can make or break a video. The tracks you use are great, what do you use to source your music?
I love how you pan across products and stick the text as it pans. Not exactly sure the exact term for this, but I'd love if you could point to a tutorial for that, it really looks great.
In my excitement to talk about the great text effects, I forgot to talk about what a great job you shared on the basic gear you used to make an excellent fishing video. It would be great to also do more videos on how you plan content, on techniques you use to get good shots... You're a wealth of quility video you compile.
Turned onto you by AP, and been deep in the rabbit hole ever since. Love the balance (this video is a prime example). Keep killing it and I wish the best for Thrive Visuals! More videos from you (Jay) about your game!
Cheers for the video Jay. I have a youtube channel which I use gopro heros 4's for everything. The fact I have only got a gopro puts me off making videos sometimes because of how restrictive it is. We are a UK shore fishing channel. This means we are often fishing in the dark and in the rain, which makes filming difficult any way. Shore fishing is also a pretty messy affair with bait and tidal mud and so on again adding to the difficulty of making videos. One of the problems I have is that shore fishing is no guarantee as is all fishing but staying motivated to create content and portray the story after 5 session with no fish can be challenging lol. Anyway my question regarding gopros is, do you leave your go pro running until the battery/memory card runs out to ensure you catch every moment or do you switch them on and off? Cheers Jay Tight Lines!! Fishing Brothers
I know this video is several years old at this point, but the content is still helpful for people getting started. I would echo your thoughts on not needing much gear to have fun filming a day on the water. I just have a Hero 9 and a Hero 4 Session and I'm able to capture enough to make fun videos for myself, family, and friends. I'm not at all trying to make a career out of it so minimal gear works fine. One addition to this video that would have been helpful is a little more explanation on why you choose to shoot in certain resolutions and frame rates. For example, the back cam... why did you choose 2.7k at 60fps? I think most guys doing it for fun like me would be ok shooting in 1080p at 30fps. Save yourself some memory space. I shot some video a couple weeks ago in 1080p and 4k with my Hero 9 and really the difference was pretty minimal. Obviously the 4k is better, but yeah, for most people I really think the 1080p is going to be just fine. Also, unless you are really trying to get some smooth slow motion and want to spend the time editing then you don't need 60fps. Another good tip... learn to use your highlight keys (like what is on the GoPro) to save yourself some time in edit trying to find the action shots you want in your video.
As always, killer video Jay! Thanks for sharing all of that. One of the things that I wondered as I watched this video, is where do you get your music from?
Excellent video, thanks for making it and sharing. I’ll be picking up a drone this spring to help capture my fly in fishing trips. Looking at the Mavic Pro or the Mavic Air :).
Great video. Thanks for all the info. I got a question... Do you run your gopro's in loop mode? If so, does your external mic record continuously? Just trying to figure out how to sync everything up. Thanks.
Awesome video, I have two questions for you. I’m planning to shoot steelhead fishing videos in the Pacific Northwest. I currently have the Panasonic GH4 and rode video mic pro. Do you think I should to pick up a drone or should I invest that money into a larger lens selection for my GH4? I really like your soundtrack selection what service do you use for finding royalty free music? Thank you this is one of the better videos I’ve seen on TH-cam you have some really good content on your channel!
Great Video, what would u recommend for me. I plan long long days on the water fishing for muskies. Ideally I would like to capture my whole day and hopefully clip and highlight visible follows and strikes as well as fish landed. I would prefer minimum time to edit post filming. If I go with new GoPro 11 I am looking at 90 minutes record time?? I would prefer not changing batteries every 90 minutes. Any suggestions? USB connector maybe then clip on a full windshield with flexible mount
Awesome stuff Jay! I just bought my first camera (Canon Rebel SL2) and a GoPro Hero. working on getting my channel going, and love getting tips like this. Thanks! Huge fan fan of your stuff BTW!
This video was very informative and your videography skills are impressive. Looking to improve my skills so that I can put out better content! Thanks for sharing!
Give me the inspiration and make a video of my fishing evening as good as this. I want to learn how to add in outlined images of my lakes on the intros like wheeled & Martin do! That’s so awesome! Central Wisco here! 💪🏼 want my first video to be good! Have so much content an drone shots it’s not even funny!
I've had the chance to own/rent all of the canon primes. I personally think the Sigma's CRUSH them on sharpness and price. In the past year I've made the full switch on all my primes.
I've got a question on your protune settings. Do you lock the shutter speed double your frame rate like you would a DSLR, or do you just let the GoPro do it's thing with the iso/frame rate and only worry about white balance and sharpening? I got a skeleton frame that allowed for an ND filter, and have been trying to lock the frame rate and using the ND filter....but I'm finding with the GoPro it's almost too much worry about. Thanks for the awesome content! This video has been super helpful. Look forward to more content all the time.
I've always wanted to film myself fishing like you do. Only problem is I'm not great at fishing and often times get skunked, which wouldn't be that fun to watch lol
I was trying to find a video on how someone film themselves without a second person. Also what to use to keep the camera steady on a boat while fishing
Jay Siemens Hey if you want to make some hunting/fishing videos I could definitely hook you up for free! A business partner and I are in the process of getting our outfitter licence and could use the exposure lol! Working with a pro like you would be amazing!
Awesome tips Jay, I've been curious on your settings for a while! One question, how does your 60fps Chesty gopro export at normal speed when your main camera is run at 24fps? Tight lines!
I learned a lot. I have a question though. How many FPS is your finalized video? I'm new to filming and understand the high FPS for the slow motion, but can't work the math with the 24 FPS and the 60 FPS? Does it work because you are splicing small clips together?
I edit my videos in a 24fps timeline (sequence). 60 FPS I can slow down to 40% on a 24 FPS timeline and it still works. 240 FPS I can slow down to 10%. Does that make sense? Just because it's filmed in a higher frame doesn't mean you need to slow it down. You can play it at 100% speed, it will just take out the extra frames.
Alright, I think I get it. You are at 60 FPS just in case you want to create some partial slowmotion with that footage, but it can still be combined with the 24 FPS and used at 100 percent speed and the editing software automatically takes out the extra frames from the 60FPS...
Hey just wandering how do you catch the fish biting on camera. Do you record all the time then cut out all of the waiting or just hit record when you feel a bite
I love to use gimbals, when I'm filming run and gun for my youtube channel I don't have the time to mess around with that stuff. My 16-35 on my main vlogging camera has image stabilization.
Hey man I u probably won’t see this comment but I am just getting started on TH-cam and this video was really informational and is definitely gonna help me make better videos
Is it possible to record with your gopro without using a microphone? I have a hero 4 session so Im not able to use a microphone. Do you think its still possible to record or is it just awful sound?
Trying to watch this with someone sleeping in the house is impossible. The voice is low and the music is crazy loud. Turn it up to hear the voices and the music blasts like a fire alarm
What a great video and tons of information. Have you seen our powered GoPro mount that plugs right into your navlight port? Also, we have Silicone Rainproof Putty for our PowerStick-53" or for your battery setup to keep the side of the GoPro sealed when it rains a bit or get a little water spray off the lake. YOLOtek.com Keep up these great videos!
Hi don't you have a lens to make Nick look beter?? LOL. I like your video's a lot and i do appreciate your efforts and investments, but then again it's your job so we expect that from you. I bet you can make a great vid with only an iPhone, skills are the other half that makes a vid stand out. Thanks I am enjoying your work. Love from the Netherlands

I appreciate that! Thank you so much!

I'm about to switch from using my phone to using action cameras and the battery thing was a real concern, so thank you for putting this stuff out here Jay
At the end of the day your phone is probably the most underrated gear of all.
Great tips and vid as always👍👍🔥🔥🔥
One of the best fishing filming tips I've ever seen ..thanks

I think everyone should make fishing videos! Thanks for watching

Great video Jay! Lots of awesome information in this one. Looking forward to seeing more tips in the future
Great video! Thanks a lot
Great video and first video which is actually giving me all information and answers to all my questions. Tight lines!
You are my hero Jay! haha Thanks for letting us into your world of filming for a day!
Thanks Jay! Such detailed explanation and love hearing the thought process involved‼️👍
I love how you pan across products and stick the text as it pans. Not exactly sure the exact term for this, but I'd love if you could point to a tutorial for that, it really looks great.
Probably the best vid I have seen detailing the outdoor filming process! Nice work, Jay!

Thanks so much! I started with Rebel T1i, all about how you use it!
Jay Siemens if you are ever down in Southeastern Ontario, I know some pretty decent spots for a few different species!
Absolutely killing the game sir, keep up the good work.
This video was very informative and your videography skills are impressive. Looking to improve my skills so that I can put out better content! Thanks for sharing!
Your B roll shots are some of the best in the business. How do you go about choosing music, and where do you get your music from?
Thanks Evan !! I use a few different websites. Using a lot off of artlist these days.
Give me the inspiration and make a video of my fishing evening as good as this. I want to learn how to add in outlined images of my lakes on the intros like wheeled & Martin do! That’s so awesome! Central Wisco here! 💪🏼 want my first video to be good! Have so much content an drone shots it’s not even funny!
Hands down the king of fishing film b-roll.
You're too kind!
Excellent Jay!! Most helpful. Do you prefer the Sigma Art 85mm, 50mm over the canon for both price and performance?
I've had the chance to own/rent all of the canon primes. I personally think the Sigma's CRUSH them on sharpness and price. In the past year I've made the full switch on all my primes.
I am pleasantly surprised! Thanks for responding!

Thanks for the awesome content! This video has been super helpful. Look forward to more content all the time.
I personally haven’t played with shutter speed locking on gopros, like you said, I just lock WB and pull back the sharpening.
@@JaySiemens Awesome! That makes life easy 😂 Now I just gotta replace a faulty battery and I'll be in business. Thanks man!
Great tips! Just getting my channel going and have learned a lot of from you.
Glad to help!
Thanks for the info, what would you recommend as a good beginner camera for filming videos?
Hey I am wondering what size SD cards you are using to capture all this awesome footage?
Hands down best cinematic vids on the tube
Thank you for this video! could you go over how you do your editing and the stuff you use for that?
Yup! It'll be coming soon.
Awesome video. I would really really really love to see one of these about northern lights/star pics and time lapses.
I actually have one on my channel, a few months old, but you should be able to find it.
I've always wanted to film myself fishing like you do. Only problem is I'm not great at fishing and often times get skunked, which wouldn't be that fun to watch lol
Hey, I only caught 2 tiny fish in this video! Just need a story along the way.
Awesome cinematography, interesting content and good music. Great channel!
Thanks Jed!
A few to many secrets given out. Great info.
Amazing video!!! Thank you so much. I learned so much. Great Camara guy. 👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed it!
I was trying to find a video on how someone film themselves without a second person. Also what to use to keep the camera steady on a boat while fishing
That was cool to see how you break it down, I’m trying to get my channel going
Thanks for watching!
Heck yeah! I am building a hunting/fishing channel and I definitely need a video like this!
Glad you found some value in it!

Thanks for watching. When you have extra frames they will get removed when exporting automatically.
Great video. Really informative and the audio is so good you can clearly make out the squeaky reel. haha
haha, I know that reel needs so love!
love the camera chat, reason I found and follow you.thanks!
Thanks Cory! More to come!
Good stuff! Thanks for sharing Jay! 👊🏼
Thanks for watching~!
Awesome tips Jay!
Thanks Della!
Great video mate, keep up the good work 👍
Awesome video as always Jay! "Man you're pale!" lol Give the man some saturation!
Great video!!! What do you use for hero 4 battery to not charge?
"Trying" to make great video? Dude you got this! You make amazing video! Nice work.
Appreciate it Bryan!!
i like this channels...i try to learn about fishing Videos , Thank bro...
Glad you like them!
Live it! Great tips man

Step 1: Always punch the camera like every other fishing video creator.

Hey Jay, whats the video called where you explain turning your day into a story? Or if someone could help me out that would be great. Thanks
Great video! How to take the video for underwater lure action? tks
Hey just wandering how do you catch the fish biting on camera. Do you record all the time then cut out all of the waiting or just hit record when you feel a bite
Yup basically. Lots of footage.
Good tips! How do you color match the GoPro video to the Canon 5d MkIV?
You never use a Ronin or any other gimbals? Always hand held? Any digital stabilization on the FS5 or the lens?
I love to use gimbals, when I'm filming run and gun for my youtube channel I don't have the time to mess around with that stuff. My 16-35 on my main vlogging camera has image stabilization.
keep it up jay love your film,
Thanks Adam!
Hey man I u probably won’t see this comment but I am just getting started on TH-cam and this video was really informational and is definitely gonna help me make better videos
One think that we personally struggle with is incorperating a story into our fishing vids, cant wait for you vid on that?
On the list!
Agree, looking forward to it.
Love it!
When you record in 60fps don't you have to convert it to 24fps so that it syncs with your audio?
Awesome vid!! 👍👍
Thanks man!!!
Is it possible to record with your gopro without using a microphone? I have a hero 4 session so Im not able to use a microphone. Do you think its still possible to record or is it just awful sound?
Not awful. A microphone is just preference!
Trying to watch this with someone sleeping in the house is impossible. The voice is low and the music is crazy loud. Turn it up to hear the voices and the music blasts like a fire alarm
What softfware you use for video editing?
Nice. How would I record with the iphone pro 12 max?
Good to show the data on the video~ subscribed and liked~~
❤️
thanks for your info bro🤙🤙
Thanks for watching!

YOLOtek.com Keep up these great videos!
Thanks for this video!!! If I only had about 10k I could spend on gear and the knowledge of editing.
My highest video was shot with an iphone and I learnt everything I know from youtube! Anyone can do it!!
What video editing software are you using?
Nice vid Jay.
Thanks Buddy!
You going to get a HERO7? I just want one so bad but i just got the 5 at the start of this season.
Maybe...
From what I've seen regarding the internal stabilization. It's a game changer.
Great video. And see you love your gears but your reel needs some work homie. Put some oil on that handle. 😂🤣
Haha I know I know!!
What dead cat do you use?
Did you fish on longbow lake
Great video Jay. Thank you for sharing.
Now, do you have any tips to get more views and subscribers?
Thanks for watching! Content Content Content!
Jay, could you please send a link for me so I can order a fish Manitoba hat!
Hi don't you have a lens to make Nick look beter?? LOL. I like your video's a lot and i do appreciate your efforts and investments, but then again it's your job so we expect that from you. I bet you can make a great vid with only an iPhone, skills are the other half that makes a vid stand out. Thanks I am enjoying your work. Love from the Netherlands
haha, Nik needs more time in the sun. Thanks for watching!
Love it
Thanks JK!
How can anyone NOT love Peter McKinnon?
Nice instructions! Thank you! Now go lube that reel handle because my wife’s cat is trying to find a mouse 🐁 😆
This is awesome thank you so much! Btw, don't look up the price of that Canon camera unless you want to cry 😂
What do you recommend for editing?
I use adobe premiere
where did u get the music in this video?
How much was your camera??
