Wal-Mart has great micro kits by creme lures I have 2 videos on my channel check them out fun kick ass lures great video I need to do a drop shot challenge .
Catching Gills is a lot more fun than people realize. You can spend all day looking for that new PB bass and not get a bite, throw on a small bait and catch the crap out of some Gills for hours. Going to have to try this double drop shot rig next time I go out for them.
I love that you go out and go for panfish the way you do. Alot of folks target only bass and kind of act as though all other fish are worthless. I love going out and busting on some bluegill and sunfish. Respect. Keep it reel.
Meltdown can’t stop Alex! You were nailing them all over the pace. Just for a fun day that looks like an awesome rig! This long eared sun fish have pretty colors.
I love grabbing a 4.5' ultralight rod with some panfish magnets. I can get get close to 10 sunfish in just a couple hours. It's fun just to get a line wet. Great video.
Where I grew up in N. Texas at Lake Texhoma and the RED RIVER Texhoma DAM those whistles mean if you are down in the river get out,,, They are going to open some flumes and let a lot of water out... Get to higher ground at least up to ankle deep because it is going to rise really fast there close to the outlets where we do a lot of River side BASS fishing... I got to get me so ( as the wife said, BABY size bait). Nice Vids keep em commin
I can’t wait till I can get my arm out of this sling (major rotor cuff rebuild) to feel the bite again. My buddies make fun of me but I can enjoy catching the little guys just as much as the big guys. Glad to see I am not the only one. Great video to live vicariously thru.
I must say you do the best fishing videos on TH-cam. Love to watch whatever you do even when the system you happen to be using won't work where I fish. Thanks for the great work.
A True Fisherman: Fishing during the start of World War Three. Sirens, planes and Alex just keeps on fishin'! I've gotta thank you for turning me on to the Walmart yellow tag specials. I have one right next door to a BassPro and never checked 'em out. Now, I go in first.
Love switching it up and going panfishing every now and then. Normally throw some small live wax worms with a crappie bite and destroy the crappie and bluegill. Great video, gives me something different to try
Another great video, I enjoy bluegill fishing , it's always fast and their good fighter for their size, I use a set up close to what you were doing I use pieces of rubber bands ,weather is getting good too.
That fishing trip went off without a hitch!! Maybe a little struggle with the fish hopping out of your hands. Lol. That was a very interesting bait. Never seen that before. Another great show. Realistic Fishing has become must see TV at our house.
Looks good. I'll have to try this out with my 1/8 oz dropshots, on my BFS gear. A few years ago, I did this with a single hook, and bass assassin baby shad 1.5" plastics, rigged with a gamakatsu #4 dropshot hook. That day all the bluegills I got were bigger ones .
Man I've struck out in Georgia, but I did catch quite a few big bluegills in Central Park, NYC. They really charge people from out of state in Georgia. Keep up the good work.
If they don't sell those jigs any more I guess you could try those Trout Magnet jigs or something similar. You were wearing those panfish out with that Dropshot setup. That's a very good way to catch them when their not feeding shallow.
It’s a big late but if you put the tag end through back through the eyelet after you tie the Palomar knot, the hook will stand straight up. It seems to help with the hookup percentage.
Love fishing for panfish! Beautiful colors on those fish. I never tried fishing for panfish using artificial lures though. I’ll have to give it a try whenever I can get out to fish next time. Here in PA temperatures are getting cold, but I’d like to try getting some fishing done. Any advice on how to target bass in colder temps or getting panfish in colder temps?
I was waiting for you to say the person that pulled up at the second spot warned you to leave due to a major failure at the power plant. Another great video. 👍
I have a couple of ultralight with closed face spinning reels. I've never been able to really use an open face spinning reel. Would love to see you do a video on using an open face spinning reel. I learned to bass fish with a baitcaster and never fished with anyone who uses an open faced spinning reel.
Nice session! I always have fun catching panfish. Hey, I thought 3-Mile Island was having a meltdown again with all the sirens. Are you sure you weren't in any danger? Then the plane....Now that's realistic!
Sorry for so many comments but I really have thought of a lot to say watching you fish. I will pan fishing last week and the first fish I caught was a quarter pound largemouth bass. LOL
try that rig with the split shot on top of the top hook, both hooks and sinker about the same distance from each other. i put a worm on the end and something smaller on the other. twitch, pause, twitch, pause. the action is great and you can catch pretty much everything with it. I'll definitely have to try this rig too, although i've never caught a single fish using dropshot.
Great video as always. Never disappointed watching your vids! Have you thought of doing a video of catching the panfish and then using them as bait for bass? Just an idea.
@@memphistigers777 I always put garlic salt in the gulp minnow jars. it makes them feel rubbery an not soft like when you first get them. It gives extra scent an seems to make fish hit a little better. I caught about 35 fish on just 1 minnow today my most ever is about 45 on 1. A jar now lasts me over 10 times longer
There has to be some large bass where you're fishing. Those little panfish are just the right size for four or five pound bass. Maybe large bass in that big impoundment where you fish would rather eat all those the shad you have around. My small pond doesn't have any shad and the bass really attack the small panfish.
It’s so much fun catching panfish, it’s even fun to watch you catching them. They bit so close together, you barely had to edit this video! Glad the nuclear meltdown sirens stopped, though. That was not fun to listen to. And you’re so chill. 😂
Love it! When you love fishing even the small ones are fun to catch, great video Mr. Alex, by the way, what size line you were using and whats the best rod for this? Love your channel!
I recently checked out a newish lure I saw on YT. It's a Creme "Flip Flop." It's a stick bait, split half way down with FROG feet at the ends of each leg. I bought two packs, one watermelon red flake, and one they call muddy tramp. They seem to work well on picky Florida bass, but, of course, I wasn't filming. I got them on Bass Pro's website. They don't seem to be widely available, possibly a PBS exclusive? Maybe just too new? Not sure. Anyway, you should check them out.
What were you doing fishing during a purge? Couldn't you hear the sirens... That means run for you life! Just kidding... I like this extreme philly fishing style video... Keep them coming..
Just fishing through the doomsday whistle...
Thats how I will go... 😅
Realistic Fishing not a bad way imho
Real comforting sirens in the background. Fish love it
They get hungry when they think its the apocalypse.
Nice to know that right before the bomb drops I can catch some fish
You are getting better with those micro lures
Still learning how to fish over here on this channel 👍
Wal-Mart has great micro kits by creme lures I have 2 videos on my channel check them out fun kick ass lures great video I need to do a drop shot challenge .

I agree. Sometimes its just fun to change it up. 👍
Carlos Colon same opinion here
I just started fishing and it honestly hard for me to switch lures sometimes cause I have so much fun catching the gills
that sounds like a core melt down. that means the water temp is warmer and that means active fish
or its a test... 😂
just make sure you take some rad pills Alex. Love your vids sir keep up the good work.
Homer Simpson working over at the plant?
DOH!
Haha right?
I love that you go out and go for panfish the way you do. Alot of folks target only bass and kind of act as though all other fish are worthless. I love going out and busting on some bluegill and sunfish. Respect. Keep it reel.
Fishing snobs think they are kings when they are more like jesters. 😅

It was an interesting morning to be out there, fish and sirens 👍
I love grabbing a 4.5' ultralight rod with some panfish magnets. I can get get close to 10 sunfish in just a couple hours. It's fun just to get a line wet. Great video.
Sure is 👍
10 in a couple hours? If you're ever in lafayette you should dm me I'll take you to spots where you'll get 10 in 20 or 30 minutes all over 8 inches
Where I grew up in N. Texas at Lake Texhoma and the RED RIVER Texhoma DAM those whistles mean if you are down in the river get out,,, They are going to open some flumes and let a lot of water out...

I got to get me so ( as the wife said, BABY size bait).
Nice Vids keep em commin
I think this was a fire drill. Luckily nothing bad was happening 😅
I can’t wait till I can get my arm out of this sling (major rotor cuff rebuild) to feel the bite again. My buddies make fun of me but I can enjoy catching the little guys just as much as the big guys. Glad to see I am not the only one. Great video to live vicariously thru.
Yikes. Hopefully you can get back out there soon.
I must say you do the best fishing videos on TH-cam. Love to watch whatever you do even when the system you happen to be using won't work where I fish. Thanks for the great work.
Thanks. Fishing is different everywhere ya go, but certain things carry over 👍

I hope you find some deals in there 👍
looks like some fun using the micro baits and hooks + rain that makes it more realistic
Rain or shine 💪
Ah yes the cold weather pan fish videos are here again! Can't wait to see those big ones again
Hopefully soon. Kinda small right now 😅
Missed these panfish vids! Great video as always alex!
Keep up the great work!
I hope the big ones start coming in soon 👍
plenty of panfish on that cool little double drop shot, good job Alex!
Thanks for watching Dewey 👍
it's good to see you catch fish and not worry about what size it is, other youtube videos always looking to catch monsters
I actually like fishing, not just showing off for people 😅
Love switching it up and going panfishing every now and then. Normally throw some small live wax worms with a crappie bite and destroy the crappie and bluegill. Great video, gives me something different to try
I will switch to worms when the bite is really tough 👍
Going to have to try that rig. Nice relaxing day fishing.
Even during a potential disaster... fishing is relaxing 😀
Incredible place!
Congratulations, *Beautiful* Fish.
Hugs and good Fishing!👍🎣😊
Thanks Suellen 😀
Usually the more colorful and vibrant Blue gills are the males and the more muted one are females. Great panfish vid Alex👍🏻
Thanks for watching Chet 👍
Another great video, I enjoy bluegill fishing , it's always fast and their good fighter for their size, I use a set up close to what you were doing I use pieces of rubber bands ,weather is getting good too.
MMnnm bitter rubber bands 😀
I love to catch bluegill on an ultralight rod and reel with 4 or 6 lb line. They fight so hard for there size. 👊👍
Fun little fish for sure 👍
Samuel Warden love it too put up a great fight on ul
Catching panfish with ultra-light tackle can be a lot of fun. A good sized panfish can give you a challenge.
Sure can 👍
Great job out there today. Some beautiful little guys.
Thanks Kevin 👍
Every time I look at one of your videos I learn something-THUMBS UP!
Glad to hear it 👍
Great job Alex nice bluegill nice to see you mix up the fishing
Its fun changing it up once in a while 👍
Between the planes and the sirens sounds like a friggin war zone LOL. Extreme war-time Fishing!
That was the clickbait title 😅
This rig looks like the bomb for a creek I fish for catfish bait. Im gonna have to try and find those 1" plastics.
I bet it would be great 👍
With those power plant sirens this should be called Realistic Fission.
I see what you did there. Energy jokes 😅
Always a home run! Thanks again!
👍👍
That fishing trip went off without a hitch!! Maybe a little struggle with the fish hopping out of your hands. Lol. That was a very interesting bait. Never seen that before. Another great show. Realistic Fishing has become must see TV at our house.

Maybe two baits would catch even more 🤘
Man I've struck out in Georgia, but I did catch quite a few big bluegills in Central Park, NYC. They really charge people from out of state in Georgia. Keep up the good work.
Fishing can get pricey for out of staters 😅
I love trigger baits some of the best I’ve used for panfishing
They worked great!
Alex’s panfish game is on point.....
💪
Those sirens are going off because Realistic Fishing is in da house!
Nothing stops fishing, not even the threat of a mushroom cloud from the alarm blaring power plant across the lake.
Thats right! Hard Core 💪
I've missed your vids!! Its been a while since I've watched! Of course that means I get to binge watch all I've missed!!
Happy Fishing!! 🎣
Welcome back Kay, happy to see you commenting again 😀
@@RealisticFishing I know I've just been super busy lately!
Looks like a lot of fun. Great video as always!
Thanks William
Nice work, getting it done in the rain.
Rain or shine 💪
alex, that little bluegill is excellent live bait for bass down here in Fla lakes... 😊
These were good bait sized gills 👍
I'm hitting the local pond tomorrow. Last warm sunny day.
Good luck!
Sounds like the purge is coming!!! Oh well lets fish through it 😂
I'm Hard Core 💪
If there's ever a zombie apocalypse I'm teaming with this dude
If they don't sell those jigs any more I guess you could try those Trout Magnet jigs or something similar. You were wearing those panfish out with that Dropshot setup. That's a very good way to catch them when their not feeding shallow.
Nice video as always Alex! Micro fishing is a must have skill for cut bait. 👍
Need bait? Start small 😉
The lil trout magnets seemed to do well on blue gill for me.
Would love to see a video on the Johnson Silver Minnow weedless spoon! Not too many TH-cam videos about it for bass fishing. Love the channel!
I might have one laying around. 🤔
Great video! What kind of rod and reel are you using in this video?
Okuma Saphina Pro and a Daiwa Sweepfire
It’s a big late but if you put the tag end through back through the eyelet after you tie the Palomar knot, the hook will stand straight up. It seems to help with the hookup percentage.
Dang the fishing is ruff today old hickory lake blasting holes in the ground right next to the lake! sounds like damn sirens where you at realistic ?
Old Hick Jenny 👍
Thank you for the rig ideas. Nice fishing video.
Thanks James 👍
Nice catches man! Those were the perfect size to do some catfishing with!
Sure were 👍
Love fishing for panfish! Beautiful colors on those fish. I never tried fishing for panfish using artificial lures though. I’ll have to give it a try whenever I can get out to fish next time.
Here in PA temperatures are getting cold, but I’d like to try getting some fishing done. Any advice on how to target bass in colder temps or getting panfish in colder temps?
Start looking a little deeper near creek mouths and small bays 👍
We call those pickerel rigs in Canada lol.. they come pre made for under a buck, quite effective for perch. Maybe I’ll send you a few to try out.
I like throwing like a size 12 or 14 mosquito hook with one of those bright neon crappie bites on it.
sounds like a tiny rig, dont they swallow it?
No, I figure it's pretty generally always smaller fish. They usually grab and run, and they hook themselves in the lip.
I use really light wire VMC hooks so they work out pretty easy with some pliers if they go a little deep and don't swallow them.
Fish on Alex, but when you see the flash, duck & cover. When the shock wave passes, cast out again.
I might actually be fishing at the end 🤔😀
Those long ear sunfish are awesome looking. Great video.
I agree. Great colors on those guys 👍
Have you ever tried Gulp Crappie Nibbles added to a ring like the one you're using. I seem to catch more panfish when I add the Gulp Crappie Nibbles.
That was supposed to be rig not ring. Sorry!
Not too often. I have pretty good success without them. 👍
They are rapala. I'm happy to see you using these they're the absolute bomb. 😂 I really hope they're still making them
I dont see them out at the store too often. 🤔
Realistic Fishing really? My field and stream has a whole shelf of them
I was waiting for you to say the person that pulled up at the second spot warned you to leave due to a major failure at the power plant. Another great video. 👍
😅 Luckily it wasnt a meltdown
I have a couple of ultralight with closed face spinning reels. I've never been able to really use an open face spinning reel. Would love to see you do a video on using an open face spinning reel. I learned to bass fish with a baitcaster and never fished with anyone who uses an open faced spinning reel.
There are such things as ultra light bait casters. It's called BFS,or bait finesse.
Nice session! I always have fun catching panfish. Hey, I thought 3-Mile Island was having a meltdown again with all the sirens. Are you sure you weren't in any danger? Then the plane....Now that's realistic!
I made it out alive, but that might be what the end sounds like 😅
A change is good from normal bass fishing, I like going micro fishing for bluegill and sunfish
Me too 👍
Sorry for so many comments but I really have thought of a lot to say watching you fish. I will pan fishing last week and the first fish I caught was a quarter pound largemouth bass. LOL
Sometimes I catch bass too while I am after panfish. Its a fun surprise 👍
Melt down fishin'
I'm Hard Core man... 💪
Nice. Plenty of fish and no worm goo on your fingers.
Thats right! 😀
A little Rebel Cricket Hopper i think it’s called is amazing! i never fail to catch all species on it!
I have a hard time with snags when I try to fish them where the panfish hang out. 🤔
Really? that’s crazy! I’ve never gotten one snagged 😅😅 Thank you for the reply! Tight lines
The past two times I’ve went fishing bass wasn’t on so I ended up switching to ultralight fishing. Great video once again 👊🏻
Do what ya gotta do 👍
try that rig with the split shot on top of the top hook, both hooks and sinker about the same distance from each other. i put a worm on the end and something smaller on the other. twitch, pause, twitch, pause. the action is great and you can catch pretty much everything with it. I'll definitely have to try this rig too, although i've never caught a single fish using dropshot.
Decent job of showing how you rig your tackle. Too many videos show catching fish only and not enough technic.
👍
Could have been an awesome fish fry. Great Video bud. 🎣😎🎣😎🎣😎🎣
A little small for me but maybe 😀
Great video as always. Never disappointed watching your vids! Have you thought of doing a video of catching the panfish and then using them as bait for bass? Just an idea.
Too many shad for them to go after bluegills. 😉
nice job sir
Thanks chuchin 👍
Nice.. You are the master of all species..If you can pull a walleye out of there, I'd really be impressed...
I would love to! Just might happen... 👍
I just realized I need to try this with the tiny Gulp minnows. My hook up ratio might improve on a drop shot rig.
I love tiny gulp minnows 👍
I use mr crappie lightning shad and shadpole. They work very well
@@memphistigers777 I always put garlic salt in the gulp minnow jars. it makes them feel rubbery an not soft like when you first get them. It gives extra scent an seems to make fish hit a little better. I caught about 35 fish on just 1 minnow today my most ever is about 45 on 1. A jar now lasts me over 10 times longer
Thank you. I will add some garlic salt tonight when I get home.

Maybe large bass in that big impoundment where you fish would rather eat all those the shad you have around. My small pond doesn't have any shad and the bass really attack the small panfish.
There are no large bass... they are off chasing schools of shad thousands and thousands of shad
I’ll have to try that rig, it worked well for you.
easy breezy 👍
Do you think you could do a video over a spook to get in the mood👻🎃
Yeah, but I wouldnt catch anything 😂
That log at 6min looks like a croc.
luckily not here in TN 😅
It’s so much fun catching panfish, it’s even fun to watch you catching them. They bit so close together, you barely had to edit this video!
Glad the nuclear meltdown sirens stopped, though. That was not fun to listen to. And you’re so chill. 😂
I think it was just a drill 👍
Realistic Fishing oh ya don’t say?
😂
are the sunfish / bluegill good for eating as a snack? we cough like 8 of them but released every single one.. I Am curious tho..
yes they are good to eat
Your second fish caught, we call a pumpkin seed in Oklahoma! 😁
Good job !
I stopped bass fishing and started going for walleye and crappie and been doing well, i cant seem to find the bass around me so i stopped
When it slows down, I go for other fish too 👍
Later in the cold it seems micro lures work best 👍🏻
Gonna be trying the 1 inch Gulp Minnows again soon
Ayee my boy came out with another great video. Much love from the 860
found your channel today and subscribed man! keep it up.
Thanks Big E
Great video as always! Should've brought your catfish rig.
I should have?
Love it! When you love fishing even the small ones are fun to catch, great video Mr. Alex, by the way, what size line you were using and whats the best rod for this? Love your channel!
I am using a medium action rod with 8 lb test. I will use 6 lb test as well when they get a little more finicky. 👍
Micro lures are always fun you just catch more fish and that's always a good day on the water
Sometimes I am happy catching anything at all 👍
@@RealisticFishing just left the lake...it was a bust. Should not just finished homework...now I'm procrastinating lol
Can you say "Panfish Master"... Great video... Nice to see something different...
Mixin it up a bit 👍
You and Leo about to team up for your next video? Just getting some practice in huh ;)
That would be a close match... maybe one day.
Hey,
You caught lots 👍. Good job.
Rollin in bluegills 😀
I tried to find those tiny lures but only found 2 inch curly tail grub. Could I use the 1 inch for crappie or just use the slightly bigger ones?
Of course you can use small baits for crappie 👍
Dude, it looks like its snowing ever so lightly.
Its rain 👍
Omg it's chernobly
... back to fishing 🤘
I recently checked out a newish lure I saw on YT. It's a Creme "Flip Flop." It's a stick bait, split half way down with FROG feet at the ends of each leg. I bought two packs, one watermelon red flake, and one they call muddy tramp. They seem to work well on picky Florida bass, but, of course, I wasn't filming. I got them on Bass Pro's website. They don't seem to be widely available, possibly a PBS exclusive? Maybe just too new? Not sure. Anyway, you should check them out.
Never heard of that one 🤔
What were you doing fishing during a purge? Couldn't you hear the sirens... That means run for you life! Just kidding... I like this extreme philly fishing style video... Keep them coming..
I like EPF, maybe one day we will go head to head. 💪 TEAM REALISTIC!
