- Can TH-cam help me become a better fisherman? In this episode I return to my winter honey hole. I take out the spinning reel this time for better casting of the float rig. For this trip I am running 10 lb braid. I am also using a small float, below that a small 1/32 oz grub and a 1/16 oz jig head with a pink & white tube bait. I am fishing in 3-8 ft of water around fallen trees. I manage to catch a skipjack, a few crappie, a small bass or two, and a handful of bluegills.
Encouraging video. I don't lose my faith in catching crappie and bass with plastic lures.
great day of fishing
woo!
WOW what a skipjack. Go get you some big basstrix swimbaits for the summer. Bass love the Skipjack.
I might have a better chance at a trophy imitating a skipjack. Good idea.
Been to that same area many times by boat, never fished off the bank there...but Great crappie spot none the less. Im a new subscriber, but its good to see some fellow fisherman in this area reeling them.
Yet another great video again. A pity the crappie were not bigger. Gave me ideas about my local lake though.
Way to mix it up. Certainly a successful outing!
Thanks for checking it out B2!
I've never seen a skipjack here in Pennsylvania. Purdy fish.
Mini tarpon! 👍
right out the gate .. that's a legit hat!!
Thanks!
Enjoyed the video. M Hood suggested you. Maybe check out a wind protecter for the microphone.
Yeah, I will have to rig something since the mic is inside the camera.
Great tips on location and how to fish it.
Nice vid
Thanks!
Great Vid
Thanks!
Yea sorry for no fishing on my channel the weather is crucial and won't make up its mind I'm gonna start fishing whether or not I'm getting mad
Another excellent video. I love catching all kinds of fish but Bluegill are special to me because that's how I started. I also like using various ways of fishing. I can see that you do too. Thanks again, Jerry Routh
My first fish was also a bluegill. 😀
Love that you include the snag up's in your videos.
I try to keep it realistic 👍
Glad to see another angler that can have fun with a mess of panfish. It's not always about the 8 pound largemouths. Great video, hope to see more before ice-up!
The ice here in TN doesn't get thick enough to walk on so I need to get as much fishing in as I can, before it freezes.
no problem
What the!! Spining reel and a float!! O ya!! Now your talking brother!! Swim out there and get my float Baawahaaha!! Any day on the water ~"Is a Good Day"~Thanks for sharing it~
If someone was brave enough to climb out on that tree... they would be set on lures for a while.
Realistic Fishing
Haa!! Half are yours! :) Take a brave soul or some waders!
I'll bring the chainsaw. lol
Nice! I've never used an artificial lure on a floating rig. Nice to know that it works this time of year!
I used to think artificials sucked for panfish, but now I can do ok with them.
Nice to see videos with out all the sponsor crap, on $80,000 boats. Love the videos. Keep keeping it real!
Thanks Jon!
Nice!
Love watching your channel. Keep up the great videos.
Thanks Curtis 👊
I have never seen or heard of a skipjack, very nice! Great video!
I have never saw a skipjack before, very cool!
I hear they make great bait.
another great video keep it up love watching them
Thanks Anthony!
Dude you rocked the fish today... great bunch of fish... Here in Texas we have a saltwater fish called a skipjack and it is a long silver fish also. Great work.
Thanks! Are you talking about a ladyfish? I want to catch one.
Multi-species day!!! Great vid!
Thanks MC!
I learn something daily. Had no idea you could use artificial bait like that. 👍🏻
Sure can 👍
Looks like a great day out! Good video!
Sure was, thanks for watching Isaac!
nice
Thanks Klae. Good job growing your channel!
I tip my hat to you sir. Its a lot is fun to see the number of fish you caught. I hate to see that you lost your rig at the end.
It happens quite often. : )
nice fish i need to go croppie fishing more
we like to eat crapie and bluegill. the bass is for fun, having a nice dinner though, crappie and bluegill. im in Indiana, don't think we have salmon, and not big on catfish. I heard white bass tastes good too, I shoulda tried the ones ive caught. but now I know to taste em gl fishing crappie and bass are like two different worlds... the bait, style... but I caught a crappie on a square bill the other day, and a small mouth on the same one the next night. weird lol its like I fish for one thing and get another all the time, fishing is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your gonna get lol sry
Good video as always!
Thanks man!
Good job dude. Really enjoyed the video. I've been float fishing panfish for a year and a half at Harriman State Park, aka (the seven lakes) and winter always presents a challenge there.
Great vid, I like catching those big blue gills on a 2 or 3 weight fly rod with a little foam spider, if you haven't tried it you should it is just a blast because those pan fish feel like monsters on that 2 or 3 weight.
I might get a fly rod one of these days 👍
great video nice blue gills and I never heard of a skipjack before learn something new everyday tightlines brother
Thanks for watching M Wildboyz!
great day indeed! I Like that float setup!
Bobber fishin' ain't just for the kids
lol I had no clue they were called tube baits. I think they look like squids, so I call them squid baits lol.
What reel and rod are u using? Great vid
Its an Okuma Safina Pro spinning reel and a Diawa Sweepfire rod.
And what do u use for editing
I use adobe
really nice video, never thought of trying a rig like that before
Ya never know what they will bite on. :)
+Realistic Fishing what power rod were you using?
medium power, fast action
Dude! I like what you do.
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback!
Hey man I enjoy your videos . Me and my son are new fishermen as well ,It might not be a bad idea if you posted the type of rod and reel you are using in your videos ... just incase some one likes what you are doing and would maybe get you some gear to try out and review ... Just saying .
Thanks, but I try not to focus on the gear. Too many people pushing product instead of just fishing.
I get it but for the new and uneducated fisherman it might not hurt to list your gear .
I'm new to ur channel i like all of or vids keep up they are really good thak u for the videos
Thanks for checking it out Dj!
dude!😎
🤘
good job! i will have to try the double jig think one of these days.
I hope it works for ya 👍
patience pays... I need to remember that
Just a bunch casting?!
You must have never been fishing before 😂
Do u work the bait ,or just let the bobber set there.
I had that same Okuma reel. I loved that reel, it caught so many look downs and sea trout and then one day an 8 pound permit killed it! Gears just blew up but it still grinded the fish in. may it rest in pieces! BTW, really nice skip jack!
I hope I can catch that many fish on it, especially an 8 pounder!
Realistic Fishing
I'm sure you will, they're a great little reel if you maintain them.
Nice fishing there!
Shore fishing can catch firsh.you dont eat then?
sometimes
Way to kick panfish ass!
You know how I do
HOOKEM IN THE MOUTH KAYAK FISHING
I tie jigs that would be perfect for crappie. I use them for smallmouth here in Tennessee
hilarious how they will bite and let go.
Good video !!!
Thanks!
Always !!!
Hey man I think it would be really cool if you did a video on like the story of your PB largemouth catch and like everything you were using and weather and all that stuff, and hey awesome vid I've never seen or heard of a skipjack either pretty cool and unique fish!
Story Time on Realistic Fishing... that is interesting.
Seems most were caught on the pink jig. Interesting
some nice fish, good video :)
Thanks JGP!
awesome sauce!
Bad parking everywhere!
Booooooooo! Bad parking clogs up the boat launch.
Panfishing is always fun, especially when you get on them!! RIP to your Rig😭
Mu rig isn't dead, we are just separated. lol. Thanks for checking it out!
lol problem
Is that the Cumberland?
Yes, this is old hickory lake.
I was just about to call you Mr. Snagless when you went full snag-off.😑
If you aren't getting snagged, you aren't fishing in the right spots 😉
you now when you touch a skipjack that it is going to die
Prove it on video.
they will eventually did but not that instant
You can't prove that at all.
huh. a skip jack? that's the first
i would have used that shad for bait!
I have kept them as bait in the freezer before. Catfish seem to like that particular kind.
great video, sorry you lost your rig. was the weighted bobber serving a sprcial purpose or just whay you had on hand.
Its helps a little when casting in the wind.
I love weighted bobbers. Worked great for me at Oshannesy!!
nice video, i never knew you could catch skip jack from a rod and reel? btw, i have a dumb question lol what is your name? if its Realistic Fishing im going to feel really dumb lol
