This is nice . I appreciate what your trying to do . That lake can fool you , if your not use to lakes that turns out 30lbs stringers . You need bigs to even have a shot . Time management , how long to invest to a spot . Personal this Is piece of the pie I struggle with just one of many , anyway keep them coming , I'm all in on this series . Please teach me .
Been using a double Carolina rig lately and have caught several fish and even multiple doubles. I tie a 1/2 oz Tokyo rig but a leave a 2 ft tag line off it and tie a 4/0 worm hook on there with either a fluke or stick bait on it. Works very very good in the summer schools.
Another good one Todd. Had a feeling when you said someone’s on that spot it would be Stephen. Hahaha known him and his family for years. Great people. Can’t wait for the next one.
Really appreciate you sharing all this. It's why fishing never gets old for me; the challenge of constantly trying to figure out so many different variables and to trying to get better at it.
🤫🤫🤫 most don’t pick up on that. What’s funny when I came in second Dicky Newberry won it, and after day one I had done enough to take over but he caught them good on day 2 to regain the lead. Guys like that rarely give up a lead he’s a heck of a fishermen, none him a long time.
I'll just keep saying it for the ones that will watch and maybe get confused. your content is honest and useful for how to seek out and develop your own unique plan of attack for tournament fishing. I know that if the day comes and God blesses me with a boat again, your videos have single handedly changed my mind about what success looks like and how to consistently achieve it.
You absolutely right todd. Anytime ive started a tourney where i was keyed on one thing from practice or whatever….ive had a horrible tourney. Tried to force it, had preconceived notions, whatever. My best tourneys are the ones i had little or no practice cuz i get out there and im fully open to everything happening out there with conditions, wind, current, birds, clouds, etc. figure it all out as i go.
Your right buddy you must think out loud and be all over to weigh every option and eliminate process . Biggest difference in pros and average anglers is pros fail faster and move on to next scenario until find what works . Great job buddy
I really like this video . The manner in which you are teaching how to progress through all the information , some relevant some not , will help anglers to better locate and catch fish . I also liked how you made clear that your goal was basically a top two finish and not just a settling for a limit of mostly small fish which is what a fun fishing weekend angler may want . He may just want to go fishing and get plenty of bites The ability to connect the dots of all the information you get from each bite and the progression to a successful tournament by getting better quality bites is what defines the best tournament anglers . Only complaint I have is I can hardly wait for the next video . Love your channel , best of luck .
Great video. I had a good buddy try to give me some lessons on where to catch bass on my lake and he sounded just like you. And he was all over the place. It was like he was tracking them down and giving me advice in real time.
I live in Florida and I've been getting them on giant worms with a 1/8 weight. I love it! I also have been using the biffle head in deeper ledges and it works great!
Been doing same w/ bream beds deep or edge of grass ... dragging shakey hd w/ wtr mlon mag worm .. WOW .. on Rayburn and several central tx lakes .. Thanks ... great info about find the beds w/ SI .. works now for sure .. Capt. Kirk
Hallelujah! All the ? in my head plus I’ve got Roland, Bill and now you poppin off along with my own neurosis My flippin’ eyes are getting pushed out of my head. There’s no chance your gonna simplify this crowd control, are you?
Dang,didn't want it to end,lol,the Carolina rig tip about a big bite was on the money,I throw it alot and you are so right about that,them bigs grab it and you never know till they about take rod from you,lol,love the content buddy keep up the good work 👊
I love your videos and how I learn from them, (whoa a Bluebird outside my window, pretty bird) anyway I am looking forward to watching (squirrel, not just any squirrel, but a grey one) ah oh yeah forward to watching the whole series! Hope it comes out soon (ah, where was I going with this?) yes, yes because I enjoy your videos very much and......ah.....keep up the good work! Lol JK'ing ya a bit.
Great Stuff Todd, thanks for sharing. If a person doesn't have just a touch of ADD when they are fishing then you ain't fishing. You should always be thinking about your next cast, spot and a way to get a bite all at the same time. 👊
@@toddcastledinefishing5924 Todd, Bream are in the Carp family (with cat fish, piranha, minnows even). Were all very old fish. When there were lower oxygen levels in saltwater. Around two hundred and fifty million years ago. The ancestors of the larger Carp family became freshwater instead of saltwater fish. Perch are different. Perch come from the same origins as modern species of bass come from. Perch and bass, are really quite closely related. Compared to Bream and Bass. Which are far apart (Shad and herring fish are different again, sardines are in that family too of oil based, nutrious fish). Basically when a bass sees a minnow, the bass sees it as a miniature Carp. When a bass sees a Shad, it sees a nutrious herring or sardine. When a bass sees a perch or blue gill. What the bass really sees is a first or second cousin. So basically, it is the primary reason that a Bass in the aquarium will react differently. To all of these.
One of the biggest battles that has happened in more recent years. Steven Rinella covered in an episode about the Great Lakes. Was the goby invasion there (it's hard to pin down what a goby is, but it accounts for a massive standalone family of bait fish which is a food source in oceans for a great many important species, like Cod, Haddock, flat fish there). Live off of goby type fish in saltwater. In the Great Lakes for a long while, the Goby there went after White fish (a native and earlier member of salmonoid family of fish). Musky apparently too have been notorious at invading rivers. With salmonoid related 'Char' fish in parts of the north, in America. Such as Maine's rivers. Known as a Brook trout in common lingo. Brook trout have been furiously eliminated by the Musky. And small mouth too. And the cut throat trout in Yellowstone lake in Montana. That were native to there. Couldn't compete with other introduced salmonoids. In that system.
What it means is that lots of different fish, in different families of different origins. In freshwater, have come into contact in certain cases. And often with incredibly drastic results. The goby fish in the north, I think the bass anglers have suggested. Now have become a food source there for bass I think. Which wasn't around before.
Dang it Todd your gonna kill me and probably most of your viewers by leaving us on these cliff hanger endings lol. Looking forward to this series bud thanks
thanks for this series todd. Maybe some of the other TH-camrs will learn what folks would really like to see and you could start a new trend - actually teaching how to improve and not just promoting a product or showing themselves catching fish
I in my 3rd year of bass fishing. I love how you go through your through process. Oh by the way I bought a couple of the Hybrid hunters and slayed them today. Two guys next never caught a fish. I absolutely 💯 love this bait!.
Guys I fish with think I'm nuts. If I get on a hot bite, I'll try to find what they won't bite. Then I can narrow down the variables to find what's up. That's my pro tip
LOVE this! Anxiously waiting for the next drip. Can you drop this series into a playlist so I don't miss any episodes?? Above all, thanks for sharing this content!
Lol with the scatter brain comment. I actually can see it because I just watch your alabama series. But it’s not that you just need some coaching. Think of this on guntersville. You caught good fish on a couple docks in each cove. But even after the tournament started you continue to fish all the docks. Instead go straight to the docks. You caught fish slow down pick it apart. Then go to next cove do same thing. Instead of continuing to fish all the docks in the area run and gun just a couple good ones in each cove. Did you look to see why of all the docks just a couple were good.
@@toddcastledinefishing5924 Todd please don’t take me wrong I am truly trying to help you. I know guntersville like the back of my hand. Tell me this the short top water strikes you never once through a follow up bait. Is it possible they were trying to stun your bait then come back and eat it. This is a very common bass tactic.
I'm not taking it wrong I think my background in the sport and my record locally, regionally and nationally is proven. Once again rewatch the video, I've made countless reasons why I don't throw back, its a different fish. It's why throwing back doesnt work in these situations.
@@toddcastledinefishing5924 I got a spam text from your first choke video. My knee jerk reaction was to shoot you a heads up. It happened to Tyler Reed also. It could be my account, but I wanted to give you a heads up in case some people start asking ?'s you have no idea about.
Nope never said that. I wasn't allowed to fish it while I fished the tour but when I stopped fishing the tour I was allowed to fish it again. Never had a problem with their rule it was implemented from the start of that trail. they never changed it from year to year.
Ok, so I watched this during lunch break and since then I've been wondering what Brent found ? Anyone who follows your vids will recognize the HH rattle on some of those catches. They also know that practice isn't the same as day 1 of the tourney. Things change. How many times have we heard you say that? This is a different approach for you, using two boats. I get it, you cover more water that way. It's been torture waiting for these vids to drop. But you know what ? I kind of like it. Ya, I'm a little twisted 🙃
I like it Todd keep doing you bro 😎

Yea I’ve noticed that traveling around with some guys. We are used to lakes like this and the mindset going in has to be different

100% agree with you!!

Couldn't agree more. 💯
Great video Todd 👍 new sub
I was going through all the HH videos yet again, when it dawned on me. Todd was closing in on his 5th ? AOY ! Say what ?!! Still floored he has 4 😳

Well done! Enjoyed the walk through

Thanks dead on with the analysis
Thanks for taking us along this is going to be fun.

Very true!
What are “perch” in Texas?
Perch, bream it’s all the same we got so many kinds it’s like calling all soft drinks coke.
I see lol

Todd, curious what rod you throw the Hybrid Hunter on? I know it may very with grass vs rock but curious as to length, action. Thanks
Best rod I’ve ever found is the Lews 7’6 super duty series medium heavy
