Great refresher course for the coming season JW. I’m in Michigan and my lake is frozen and I’m losing my mind so I’m just watching videos getting ready for ice out ( quite a way off unfortunately). Wish I could take a couple vacation days and head south for a long weekend and do some fishing, but got to pay those bills ☹️. So for now, I will just keep watching other people fish. Lol
Be curious, be quick, and never settle in, move like a fish and catch more, good concept. As for the tackle part, it's cheap buy in abundance, can't buy stuff when your on the lake.
Better than just warning you to not fish memories. An actual explanation of what to do and sometimes when, but still letting you know that everything is based on conditions.
Good video man! Always smart to go back to basics. I fish 3 times per week for years now, and I still make the mistake of fishing the same spots over and over. Fishing history. I always have to remind myself to move around and think about the seasonal patterns. 👍🏻
Amazing tips for beginners, not like every other video you see and as a testament to these tips, especially with # test on line (I started fishing about a year and a half ago)... I caught a "smaller" alligator on 17lb mono that bit a frog. This was when I started looking into how low you can drop your test and still be effective.
Good tips ill add one,a guy i fish with will think that because he caught fish on a certain bait yesterday that they'll bite it today.he'll throw that bait and not get a bite and think the fishing is bad.Bass can be picky and unpredictable about what they'll bite.so go to something else if what you used yesterday aint working.
Do you think floro should be changed out more often than mono for recreational anglers since it doesn't have as much elasticity. Seems like floro doesn't return as much to its original state after being stretched and gets brittle.
I'm not J.W., but yes, change fluorocarbon alot more often, I keep white masking tape with me, for the 2 rods I use most during fishing, (to mark the rods), and change every 1-3 trips, if I used them alot. But, thats me.🖒.
@@mitchalgreen7244 that's why I dont use floro anymore. Gets expensive to change out. I can get a lot more mileage out of my P-Line CXX. I've lost too many big fish with floro. If I was sponsored and got it free then I might use it. The pros change line very often.
@@jamesbarron1202 ...... I don't fill my spools up with it. I use Berkley big game clear 25lb as a mainline, 17lb Berkley trilene 100% fluorocarbon as a leader for flipping, a 200 yd spool lasts me all year. And braid with a leader at times. Adjust your poundage for finesse and water clarity and cranking. 🖒.
I think my issue is number 5 . I will rig up 10 combos the night before and won't fish a particular bait long enough to put something together. This year i am going to try and rig up a handful and focus on the differnt water columns and then adjust from there. This is a great vid. I think everyone is guilty of at least one of these now again .
I think you should make a video or a series of videos about fish movement throughout the seasonal patterns. Even break the spring time up into three categories pre-Spawn, spawn and post Spawn. I think that would help out a lot of your beginner, intermediate, and with your knowledge probably even some of your advanced anglers who watch your channel
Hey Jacob got a question when fishing muddy or dark water you hear some people say use bright colored lures then you hear people saying use dark colored lures for contrast. Out of the two which would be better. Where I am we don't really have muddy water the ponds and lakes are either clear or dark water.
Hey Jacob, I am your big fan from Taiwan.Hoping you can come my place Taiwan to hang out someday. I want to know what is your normal buzzbait setup and when did you throw your fineness buzzbait?
Thx Jacob. Good tips for a wide spectrum of fisherman. I would also say not to keep going to the same body of water. Go try other types of water like reservoirs, rivers instead of the same lake. You'll be surprised on what you may find. Leads you to fishing other structure types too.
What about extremely high barometric pressure days with cloudless sky's and the fish are just lock jawed , how are supposed to decide what to throw, when you've junk fished most of the day and haven't set the hook yet.
Great video, not only for beginners but for all fisherman. Sometimes we all need to stop fishing and just think for 5 minutes . Keep up the good work 👍👍👍
Thanks for the tips I am a new tournament fisherman and I’m always looking for tips that will make me a better fisherman. Kick some butt this year and I will be checking out your channel!
Taylor Marcel Wheeler is a great person to have as a role model. He works his ass off but is humble and honest. I’m 45 years old and I look up to him too! 👍🏻
Whoa really good tips! Especially about the buddy system my brother and I always try different lures but to use lures for top or bottom may be a game changer for us thanks Jacob!!
Great advice Jacob! Guilty as charged on virtually all of what you talked about. There's one like that I go to in the summer that I always go to the far end and fish in the salad. I throw the same thing all the time into that thing and sometimes I'm taking fish one after the other other times nothing but I keep throwing the damn white paddle tail! It's always been my go-to bait. My fishing buddy Shawn always laughs at me for doing that and says if they're not fighting switch it up and I keep fishing the white paddle tail because the white paddle tail works for me except that it wasn't working that time! Great stuff I have stories for all of the five issues you talked about but I'll leave you with that one story. Thanks again great video!
Awesome tips sir

Gotcha.✔
Nice video, would like to see a video on rods and how u choose the correct setup.
Tyler Haddix great idea👍🏼
That. St Lawrence fish factory I like u guys on tuff water. Ohio River lol

Great stuff. Reinforces some of what I'm doing and suggests I change up some others.

Excellent vid! Thanks

Awesome video. Thanks for the info.
Jacob this video definitely got me thinking thanks for the tip

Hey good luck to you this year on the MLF
Hey Jacob, I am your big fan from Taiwan.Hoping you can come my place Taiwan to hang out someday.
I want to know what is your normal buzzbait setup and when did you throw your fineness buzzbait?
Shooting a buzz bait video tomorrow just for you!
Jacob Wheeler Fishing Seriously? That’s why I like you so much. You know what ? Hm...... A ding !
Yep! I’ll show you exactly what I put in my whole tournament buzz bait box

Thanks still waitin for my 10lb test to break off, man I catch 15 lb carp with it, drags nice.

Great info!👍👍👊

Taylor Marcel Wheeler is a great person to have as a role model. He works his ass off but is humble and honest. I’m 45 years old and I look up to him too! 👍🏻
Focus on school.
Thanks for the knowledge!
what does this video got to do with fishing for pan fish, etc.? Don't you need to change your topic to match the type of fishing that one does?
Please make more of these!
Whoa really good tips! Especially about the buddy system my brother and I always try different lures but to use lures for top or bottom may be a game changer for us thanks Jacob!!
We want more! Great video keep up the informative topics. And I hope you have a great season
Man you got to get back to the Classic and win it
Great stuff. Enjoyed talking to you in Knoxville last weekend.
Hey Jacob, I love your videos. Anytime that you're in South Florida let me know, I'd love to take you fishing for some snook!
Where you at in Florida? I'm in Bradenton, hit me up
Thanks for the video and wisdom!!! It was great to see you on Bassgeek's channel! I'd love to see you guys get together and fish!
Great information Jacob 💯👍 #HometownGuy
Yeah I need to retie more often. lol
Brb dropshotting with 17lb line
Do you hunt???
Conroe can be tough.
How much time does normally take for a beginner fisherman take to the next level .?
Usuario 23 depends on how much you get out, but after a year or three you’ll have a better understanding of it all.
Noah Glover ty for replying me back. And yes that’s true. I’ll keep doing my best!
Love these videos but camera zooming and bouncing makes me sick 😷
Camera moving is making me dizzy
I leave those replacement hooks in their original packaging.
