The Daredevil spoons were a staple in every tackle box through the 50's and 60's. They came in assorted sizes and while red and white was the most common color they were offered in other colors. They worked. In the 70's more tackle and more places selling it sort of overran the Daredevils but they are still productive. Thank you for sharing your outings.
Still have more than a few in my tackle box ;)
@@TranslucentJuice they are timeless. Once the trend became glamorize successful lures then make them in dozens of varieties the original Daredevils fell out of favor. I like to say many modern lures are designed to catch the angler, not the fish.
They were one of the first spoons I ever used back in the 70's. Always had a couple different sizes in my tackle box.
Definitely one of the best Northern Pike lures ever made. Trolling edges of northern lakes and tossing these toward the shallows in the mornings and evenings was deadly.
@@darrenangle4493 I'll 2nd that. Daredevils are my favorite lure to use for Northern Pike on lakes in Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Daredevil. Classic northern pike lure.
They were used for catching everything
One of my favorite lures
They crush walleye and bass on lake erie as do red eyes!
I have one that Ive painted at least 20 times
Because of teeth
That Lure Is So Good That I've Been Known To Chase One Occasionally👀👅🤪
I must say 618, you have inspired me to go back to live bait fishing. When I was a kid I'd take off walking to one of our pools with 4 or 5 poles, zebco 33s and cane poles with grasshoppers or liver and catch tons of catfish. Then when I was 12, my papaw taught me to bass fish with an ambassador 5000 and plastic worms. I'm 60 now and have been bass fishing all this time. Now I've got all my old poles out and cleaned up. Digging up some worms and being a kid again. Hehehe. Thanks dude.
Another instant classic. Nick's whole production is so astounding that you can watch an old video you've already seen and still be entertained. Thanks man
I love how the release camera shot for a fish is a up close slowed down vid of the fish heading back into the water, but for the clam it’s just nick tossing it in😂 anyways another amazing video. Can’t wait to get back out there myself.🤙
I'm surprised you don't use the Ambassador C3 or 5500 with a bait Clicker! For years I used c3's for catfishing in rivers and lakes it makes bottom fishing more efficient because they're just so useful and the tension that the fish feels is next to nothing and the bait Clicker is easy to hear quite a ways away
Thanks for all you go through to bring us these fishing adventures. All day in snow without a bite!
I've had success with bratwurst and catfish after watching you. One suggestion: I put a chunk of bratwurst in a lady's knee-high hose, pull it tight and knot it. Makes a nice ball of bait. Then cut off excess. Hook through the knot and it keeps the bait on the line. Can usually get several baits out of a single tube of hose.
Thanks Nick for freezing your butt off 2 days in a row to bring us another awesome fishing adventure.
Same ! Thanks (watching all videos within 2 days of them being released. My relaxing time before falling asleep )
Was very surprising to see you had never seen a daredevil before! Especially a red and white one.
That's awesome you found a daredevil spoon. Dardevils are the first thing I ever caught northern pike on. It's a fav. Awesome video!
Your videos always remind me to try new places and always keep your options open and remember you never know what's lurking underneath 🐟
If you ever go to Saskatchewan for pike and lake trout, be sure you have plenty of those big Dardevle spoons, red & white and the "five of diamonds", which is yellow with red diamonds, brass back. They'll hit it so hard they take the paint off it. I did a fly-in trip with 50-lbs of gear/clothes/stuff allowed, couldn't take much of anything. The outfitter told me all I need is a bunch of those spoons and titanium leaders. He was right. Well hang in there, spring isn't far away, better times to come. Good video as always.
A bad day fishing is still better then a good day at work!
Catching a catfish on a lure is always a pleasant surprise.
Also - a catfish, a carp, and a clam... Hitting the Cs are we?
No such thing as a clam, it’s a freshwater mussel! Which is probably the coolest creature in any river
that freshwater clam was one of the most unique catches I've ever seen in midwestern fishing
I catch um all the time in one of the spillways near me
Catch them up here in Ontario all the time
Would the clam work for bate?
I caught one in the Niagara River in NY last summer
It is one of the most unique catches I have seen 618 fishing catch in Midwest fishing at this particular spillway……it’s like going to Subway restaurant and coming out with a pizza
Nice mussel! Great video as always! It’s early in the year, it’ll pick up. A friend I used to fish with when I was a kid, swore he and his Dad would occasionally catch mussels on artificial lures. As weird as that sounds.
I've caught them on artifical lures. It's more because you snag them bouncing off the bottom though. The meat make excellent bait and if they are around its usually the sign of a healthy river system
Big fish guys 🤣🤣🤣 i love that sound
The red and white spoon you found are awesome we call it a red devil, it's one of my go to spoons
Daredevel. I lost that exact one all the way in Wisconsin. That's how bad I lose lures.
Great video. Atchison kansas is watching. I know your pretty far away from Atchison kansas. But if you ever come here the river here is really good fishing in the summer. There is a big spillway here in Atchison. It is near mulers a restaurant. Really hope this summer you could check it out. Creep up the good work. 👍
I've used Daredevils my whole life. Solid lure, good pickup!
wow! back when i fished really hard, i would use those clams/mussels for bait and catch decent catfish, but have never seen one caught on a line. neat
Eppinger Dardevle’s are iconic and an American legend. I won’t use anyone else’s spoons anymore.
Thanks for keeping it real by showing the skunk on day one... makes the rest of us realize it happens more to even the best.
Hey we know wintertime is tough on the tight lines but thanks for getting us out there today keep it up buddy! Love your content 😎
Perfect timing! Just got done reorganizing all my tackle 🎣
You know it’s good day when he uploads
I once caught a freshwater clam like that when I was 8 years old. MY family thought it was the greatest accomplishment of my life and told everyone in our small town. I was so embarrassed. Of course no one wanted to hear about the tiger musky I caught, just a stupid clam! LOL
😂
Cool catch! A mollusk. I've never seen one that large in fresh water. Good to see you this week Nick.
The red and white Daredevil with the silver bottom is a favorite of mine, great for walleye, northern, and other fish!
In 60+ years of fishing, I have never hooked a live mussel before! That's cool. 😎
Man I don't know how you do it, but I get more entertainment out of your 10-15min videos than most 30-45min ones. Love this channel!
That was a neat looking carp.rapala made a weedless spoon that is helpful when your fishing water with a Rocky bottom.it was made for fishing in weeds they advertised it as a salad spoon.i don't know what they call those clams but the catfish in Pennsylvania love them I find them and catch fish with them.the Rapala spoon was good for vertical jigging smallmouth up from rock piles to since its pretty weedless to,even a plain single hook spoon gets snagged but it's not a problem with the Rapala spoon.
The catching can be tough this time of year. Thank goodness for the mild winter........we have some insane steelhead fishing here in the tribs of lake Erie. Would be a bit of a drive, but would make a great video. Come to Erie......I will put you on some chrome!
thanks for inspiring myself and others to never give up fishing! I never have the luck you do but then again, I dont fish as many spots either. so far this year has been slow, a few decnt channel cats and a bunch of bowfin and bullhead and a a couple average northerns. I'm in lower Wisconsin by the lake
There's a small lake I fish every year, and I used to catch clams all the time. If you pry them open, you can tear out the muscle and use it as bait. I only tried it a few times, but I've heard it works quite well.
My first home-found bait! Unfortunately, in my young enthusiasm for pan fishing, I depleted our small cove of clams. There were none to be found for a number of years afterward, and I don’t know if they were able to repopulate the area or not.
@@libbygardner3021 Yeah, that's unfortunate. Perhaps they just changed spots in the lake?
Daredevils!?! Awesome!
Love the new content Nick!
Thank you 😀
This is why spillways rock. You get game fish bottom feeders and random interesting stuff! And some cool lures!
Saw you put on the large spoon and said to myself "you're going to snag an Asian carp or two.". Nailed it.
Caught a clam last summer on a red and white spoon covered with zebra mussels. Picked the zebra mussels off and threw the clam back in.
One of the good things about river fishing is it's not as predictable as lake fishing.
It's Ok Nick,, Not Every Trip Is Going To Be A Huge Success..At Least You Got To Enjoy Being Out In Nature,, Got A Few New Lures,, A Bunch Of Bait From The Carp & If You Stayed A Lil Longer,, Maybe You Could Have Had Some Clam Chowder Too🤪
Always wondered if those were editable?
3:20 daredevil spoons are one of the best spoons out there! Nice find, NIck!
Once again “The Spillway Slayer” does not disappoint, while it may take more time than expected, Nick continues to be the “Slayer.”
Hey Nick you and John Dalton with Creek Fishing Adventures should collaborate you have similar personalities and fun to watch when you fish.
Love hearing "Big Fish, Big Fish!" Awesome channel and fishing sites.
I want to go fishing so bad in the cold months of Pittsburgh. Any recommendations? I can’t seem to get a bite from anywhere
How does my boy put out videos that look like they are high dollar production and get so excited for every opportunity and not have 3 million subs? Another great video bud
That was an amazing video Nick. And I have never ever seen anyone catch a clam on a fishing rod, let a lone a hooked worm. That's a once in a lifetime buddy. And I use those Daredevils lures here in upstate NY for Pike. Caught a Muski randomly one day on one. 🤔
Hey Nick! Just wanted to let you know that, your videos always bring entertainment to my day! Ive been watching for over a year now and your catches always amaze me! Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the support!
That was a freshwater mussel. Used to find them all the time in upstate NY.
I enjoy watching your fishing shows. The clam catch us really funny. Thank you for sharing.
Day 1 was a bust but day 2 and a different location more than made up for it! And catching a clam is just a bonus lol. Love the videos and time you take editing them and giving us great quality videos/ content and sharing with us something that I haven’t done in 6 years and hopefully will get out there this spring and summer and do it again. Have a great fun and safe weekend and take care dude! See you next adventure!
I love the music you do for these videos, reminds me of music in old fishing games.
Catching a catfish on a lure is the fishing equivalent of getting a few onion rings in your box of fries from BK.
Hi 618 Fishing I remember when I was a kid in the water at the beach you could dig in the sand with your feat and find clams like that.
Nick - I'm kind of surprised you didn't know what a Daredevil spoon was. You must not do much fishing on lakes for Northern Pike. It's a staple for that kind of fishing. One of my favorite lures! 🙂
That's an excellent Fishing spot, fished there during white bass spawning season a ton of fun!
Nick, do you ever going bait fishing for Norther Pike and Musky?
Using dead fish baits, especially dead sea fish for Pike fishing is very popular over here in the UK and is one of my favourite methods to catch Pike and Zander (European Walleye)..
Dude how is that even possible to catch a clam?? The weirdest thing ive caught is an Alligator with a top water frog lol. Hey nice catches man keep up the great videos
That looks similar to where I like to go fishing, Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River (Washington/Oregon border)! Of course, we fish for sturgeon there. There are some hogs there - and HUGE. Have you ever fished for them?
Here in Indiana, the freshwater clam as you called it is known as a "mussel". I have caught many of them in the rivers & Creeks on a Nightcrawler just like you did. With the hook being embedded inside the shell. It's definitely odd and amazing when you catch one for sure. And believe it or not, they're good to eat.
Cool, I believe that was a Freshwater Mussels you caught, my wife caught one last summer in a farm pond. Hope you saw some Eagles while you were at the 2nd spillway, I was up there trying to photograph some of them a few weeks ago.
Those clams make great catfish bait! Bust it open and it threads on the hook really well.
Any recommendations for fishing in MA? Lures or baits?
As soon as you showed that spoon, I said "Daredevil". Super popular awhile ago. Was house bound because of ice last week. Stay safe Nick. Slippery out there.
Love your videos man, keep at it
I love how a big head looks the cows of the river lol
I like the slow motion fish footage. Beautiful creatures.
the " clam " is a freshwater mussel. the meat inside is the ultimate catfish bait.
I fish the Illinois river and we always called them a mussel. Everyone always said they were illegal to use for bait but we did anyway. Walk out about 3 feet from the bank and start digging in the sand and find quite a few that are closed and alive.
Just subscribed to your channel, I like that you use grubs also...try a kalins triple threat acid rain junebug color and to really get them try it there at night with red headlamp only if you're going to use a light and might want to look into rear drag reel...might help when you hit a big one or a striper/ wiper hits but walleye love that color especially at night.
It's cool he mentioned my hometown. Dearborn, Michigan is the Home of the Ford Motor Company.
The Daredevil is an old favorite. The yellow with red dots long narrow body is fantastic for northern pike.
Another thing about Daredevle spoons for me was that only genuine Eppinger brand caught fish. Knockoff red/white spoons never worked. 😆
I too caught a clam before on a worm,didn’t just snag it had to pry it open to remove my hook-they don’t fight for crap ha ha my son and I had a good chuckle that day 😊
To say this channel is addictive, would be an understatement
Daredevil was a classic in the 60’s when I was growing up…the Rebel and Jitterbug were popular also.
Funny thing is I've actually cought them like that too here in Pennsylvania rivers. If ur bait happens to just fall in their shell they will close.
The Catfish and the Carp was a great catch the camp was a weird catch good job on the 2 fish you got
That was a fresh water muscle. Catfish absolutely loves them.
Those Channel cats fight like crazy, I catch them on chatterbaits some times and even Ned rigs 😁😎
I have several of those daredevil spoons in different sizes and colors they work great for pike and big brown trout on the Rio Grande river here in New Mexico
I have a photo from years ago, fishing in Michigan with a spinner bait, reeled in a freshwater clam. So you're not alone! 🤣
Dig the vids and the music choices. I'm amazed you weren't familiar with Eppenger Daredevle sppons. That one is the small one. I have 6" ones been using for pike since the 60s :).
One day on my kayak I hit up a local pond and got skunked but ended up finding over 60 lures!!! Was a great skunked day indeed it’s been a few years should take a trip again.
That happened to me fishing in Naples Illinois but the clam I caught was half that size.
I have tried to mention this to you, but if you and your girlfriend ever make it to Maui, please hit me up I would love to take you fishing. I work for DIE HARD sport fishing out of Lahaina harbor Maui. I love these fact that you are not afraid to mention that it's been hours between bites. You are one of the very few fisherman that show what it takes to catch fish. Love your channel and I am subscribed
Nice video! I've also caught a lot of clams instead of fish, so you're cool! 🐚😁
Man I haven’t been there in a while! The Kaskaskia is a super productive fishing spot. I’ve never gone and not caught something.
Good ol Kaskaski spillway! Love that spot. Maybe we'll run into each other one of these days 🤙
would like to see you go on a fishing adventure for a couple of days maybe include camping like in the old days of your vids. Many successes happen when camping and fishing spending time and surveying the area.
Kudos for braving the cold. Great effort. 👍
Red and white Daredevils. Michigan staple. Yellow with red diamonds also a pike slayer. 👍❤
There is never a bad day fishing 🎣
Bountiless days, sure... But never bad...
Unless you lose a rod to a carp, or two, but then it's a story you can tell.
Dude those days happen this time of year. It’s feast or famine don’t sweat it 🤙🏽
Hey I work at a fish farm an we have a pond that has tons of catfish an walleye an musky an white bass an a few other kids of fish you never know what you hook into awesome place if you wanna try it
That red and white spoon, that’s standard equipment up in Canada.
Enjoyed the video! 👍🏻
I caught an oyster off a pier in California. Gotta be the same kind of deal.
wait, have you never seen a daredevl spoon before? its my go to lure. never lets me down!
Any catch is a good catch!
I've caught one of those mussels before too it was about that size maybe a little smaller.. but my g Mas lake was almost over run with them at one time it was definitely a catch to remember
