This channel is so underrated, Mikey you got some of the best down to earth real fishing content. It’s not like a bunch of other vids you see now where guys are just trying to pump their sponsors and their vids are more like watching lure commercials instead of real fishing. Keep up the great work bro 🤙🏼.
👍🏼 I wanted to give this comment more than 1 thumbs up. Completely agree
He gets to the point
Thanks homie all I want to do is catch fish shoot some videos and have some fun along the way so try I to keep the videos on the point with those three things. Pretty cool that it's resonating 👊
Been saying this for years
Wise man told me one day; when you meet, greet, or just speak to anyone, speak to them like you known that person all your life! It's so genuine and refreshing, you'll never have problems making friends! Boy was he correct and that's what makes your video so great 👍 You're genuine and you speak to people like everyone is your best bud! I appreciate your advice and sometimes not necessarily learning anything new, but more reconfirmed that I'm doing it correctly. Confidence is so underrated! That's what your channel really helps me! So thanks, Friend!
Agreed I think half of fishing is just believing you're going to catch one it's crazy how that works 👊
Pitching big jigs into the thick stuff is probably my favorite way to fish. It's how I caught my PB several years ago - 13 lbs 10 oz on a 3/4 oz flipping jig. I've been searching for her big sister ever since!
Dude that must have been an awesome flight
@@mikeybalzz It was amazing! I almost didn't even get the fish because I'd been trolling along and pitching to open spots in the acres and acres of hydrilla mats and not really getting anything. I was kinda zoned out when she said "SLORP!" and inhaled that jig. Damn near ripped the rod right out of my hands. It was one of those deals where I thought it was a good fish, but she was digging into the slop so it felt like a load of bricks. I was thinking, "Okay, this might be a 4 or 5." Nope. She was way bigger than that, lol. I didn't even realize I had dragged her free of the hydrilla. I thought she was still lodged in there. My wrists hurt for days afterward. Fun times!
Great advice to match the hatch with this technique, as well as if they keep missing to downsize the bait. Was given advice once if flipping into bull rush or reeds; always look at the plant. Often, the plant will shake when a fish strikes the bait, because the bite isn't always felt.
All of this is real, solid info that all should be able to relate to!!! Thanks for the straight forward, no bs info!!!
Just pulled off the lake because of a thunder storm. My 4 rigs were a frog. 3/8 Texas rig. Heavy punch rig. And a heavy cover swim jig for fishing the lanes. Got bit on um all. Had a 5th rod with a hybrid hunter but it was too thick.
Always a quality video 👍🏼🎣
Good info.
Here in ohio we have some lakes that are really grassy and some lakes that are devoid of grass.
I fish both .
The pendulum of the bait cannot be underestimated.
Back in the early 90's I had those flying lures that I used wading creeks for smallmouth.
Usually in the bend of a creek on the outside of the bend would be a pretty deep hole but Usually also a downed tree, so casting on the outside of the structure the baits would land then progress forward into the cover , and bam !!
I was always amazed at the size of the smallies that would be miles up stream from the larger river.
Now I mostly fish from a kayak, it's almost unfair how stealthy I can be , can't cover huge expanses of water but I can target zones in ways that I can't while fishing in my boat
Hollow tube love fliping that around black and blue just is fire 🔥.
Totally underrated bait for flipping and pitching No Doubt some of my best days flipping reads on Okeechobee were on a 4 and a 5 in tube
Love this style of videos. Lots of good info
Great tips. Thanks for sharing
Love the vid. As always, great content.
You Rock Bro! Love what you put out! Thank you!
Mike! Great information packed content! This will help me catch the green water heifers in the grass mats!
Get em bud!
Great video! I almost skipped it because I thought you were only going to talk about rods and reels. Glad I watched! Peace Dude/Bro!!!
Awesome video!
Great information for sure!! Really like the old Curado's, too! I pick up all the decent E's I can find! Even the G's! Again, I really enjoy your content....blessings, young man!
Thanks buddy love your channel
best fishing TH-camr all time
👊
Great vid bro!
So WTF would people come here and not want to go down the rabbit holes? You Go Mikey...tell em, we're tackle and technique geeks up in here! 🤣
Great Vid Bro
Ty Mikey great video
Phenominal video
I run 7.0’s and 8.0’s on my grass set up. Twin rods,2 speeds and my hook up ratio on the 8.0 is way higher than the 7.0. Especially with a jig,the 8.0 is the ticket.
Love pitching to targets and just think how many more bites could be had if you had a dip cup for the bait fuel on board but they won't listen to me so I made my own now I can refuel and pitch it back quick. Like your rigs I'll be trying more floro.
You had me at flippin n pitchin!
On message, on target, and zero B.S. Outstanding.
Thanks!
no bro thank you!!!
Yo your tips are amazing bro. Wish I could fish with you and get that first hand experience fishing with you
thanks dude!
Thanks for info Mike! Can you give some tips on how to set up the reel for pitching currently a bird nest master when I try to pitch.
I punch with a 7’6 Halo HFX heavy mod fast and I really like this rod for Florida (Fellsmere)
JUICE!
What’s up Mikey what line would you recommend for flipping cane I use power pro right now just didn’t know if there was anything out there better thanks videos are awesome as always
Great video bro I have a question for you and I would like to see you do a video on this subject So they say that a 7' medium heavy fast is the best rod for someone to get started with but if you buy one from one company and go to another brand it is totally different I would like to know how come people don't complain and make more consent from brand to brand
Thanks for your tips ! 🙏🏻✝️😍
I must say your introductory legal disclaimer was on point. Mike when the flipping bite gets tough do you ever switch over to flopping? I usually start by flopping and then hope to flip it around. As always, good content.
I have no idea what that is
@@mikeybalzz Me either I just made it up as a joke. But now there might be something to this idea. Hmmm🤔
@@docgillygun9531 well played I like it
Scissor ✂️ flipping like JT says.. love that guy, he's so cool too. My ginger 👑 ! Well here goes the grind bro... so I go to oke tantee but Crack early. No boat lites. Hand unload the Lil jon.gas motor test run. And I take waves over the front ,and the back on lake kill you okechobee. After getting waked out by all the bigger boats. Who race me to Reed patches. I got flipping And pitchin up the Kissimmee river . I bail out4 gallons w a zip lock due to no bilge pump.and flip My rod off the nose of the boat. I drop anchor
And pull off my mustang inflation vest.rdy to jump in. And it's gators all over me.... so I put my finder on , tie on a hvy booyah 3/4 lipless and try to hook my rod. And couldn't get it... dang... so I lift anchor roll forward. And it goes sloping to 14 ft from 5... I couldn't get it up the slope.. I tried for a 20 mins.so.off to pitching shade ,and open grass floating mats.i hooked up 4 fish lost all of em. 2 on senco ball ups.1 on mag ned, and 1 on. CHatterbait. Epic fail. But I stayed with it. Didn't spin out, and left before the storm, or boatramp jam up that I always get stuck in.Thx for all the tips MBRF! I just need a 20 ft Boat to deal w the lake and waves. I found the ballz to go there. But lost eqipment trying for the mega bag! Till next time....
Love the videos!! When ya coming back to Fla.?
Just getting down
I’m here if you need something in Highlands Co. be safe!
Great video, I love your channel!
I would like to ask you a question, which of the halo models is your favorite? kryptonite, HFX or fishhing XD III.
I want to buy a model to fish with 1 or 1.5 ounces and I can't decide. all the best!
Right now my grass set up for tomorrow is a 7’6”H Lykan/8.0 Hamarr,its got a 3/4 on now but it goes from 3/8-1,1/4. 7’5”H Anura/8.0 Hamarr S+,its got a 3/4 Hack Attack Jig on now but its for 3/8-3/4 and a 7’H Myakka/7.0 Hamarr and its got a Spro Bronzeye on now and its for frogs and 4.75-5.75 Rage Swimmers through the grass and on edges. Ive got a 7’9”H Siren/7.0 Nimbus combo for 1/4-3/4 but its keeping a texas rigged 3/8 Magnum Zoom Trick Worm just for flipping to that sparse cover you talk about. A little group of pads with open grass around them is a guaranteed fish on the worm.
One of these days we gonna have to hook up on the H2O and wreck em. I would like to pick your brain on my graphs. Like the info on your vids
Do you experiment with the way you work the bait under the mat over the course of the day? For example, do you find that some days they prefer it being suspended under the mat and others they prefer pumping and dropping the bait?
I just started punching this summer, pretty sure I've watched every video you've put out on the subject by now 😆 I completely understand the hype, I haven't been able to put the punching rod down since I got it! These are some of the best fishing vids on TH-cam!
Yes 100% I always start with the power flipping trying to get them to bite on the drop but if that doesn’t work I’ll play around with various sorts of dangling and pumping sometimes it’s not even about suspending the bait right under the mat but may be like a foot down or so depending on the depth that you’re in they can get really weird but if you figure it out and dial it in you can get bites right behind people
I really want to get good at punching I bought a 7’6’’ heavy powered rod with a fast action, I also ordered 1 ounce weights and 65 LB braid and flipin hooks I have tried punching before ever with a heavy powered rod in pads but I almost always loose the fish I’m no good at it any tips?
is that the curado e that you broke a while ago looks like you fixed it with choronarch parts who does not love the the Es anything to keep them working.
Awesome content as always bro! Hey Mikey I've heard you say, get s close as you can but don't hit it, I think what your trying to say is that will spook the fish, can you elaborate more on this?
Tight lines homie!!!!
That's exactly it it's not always a big issue if they're biting the reality as it doesn't matter too much but I always try to err on the side of being more subtle and stealthy
Thanks for the reply bro!!!!
Speaking of flipping... we gonna get a "Matted " 2 on Guntersville?!
Talking about grass. Seibold ramp made my trailer look like a swamp monster this morning. Does GTO or Water Front have them Stingers. I will say my punching game really needs some work. Tight Lines
Yeah last time I was in there they had them all that rain has that grass floating around the whole bunch
What brand/model reel do you prefer on your flipping/pitching/punching set up? I know you like the faster speeds.
I like a 7 or 8 speed reel all Shimano older curados
I’m 100% Shimano now just because I have not found anything as good or better that lasts like a Shimano! I would love to try their Bantam series but just afford them! Curado it is for my new Halo and Dobyns Flipping sticks! Thanks for all your Help Mikey! Keep making great videos! Love them!!
@@kennylowe9404 those are going to be some nice setups!
What rod is your punching rod?
Mike what kind of shimano reel are you running in your 7.6" flippin reel
It's an older Shimano Curado 200e
Snapping 80 # braid gotta sound like a rifle shot! Surely you were running tape..?
Hey bro, I was wondering if you have ever fished the Harris Chain in Florida. I feel like last year when I was down there I had no luck. Any advice for a bank angler like me?
I fished Griffin quite a few times in spring ripping a trap and fishing in Chatterbait from the bank them this time of year I would look for canals and bridges with moving water not moving water seems to stack of the fish in the heat
@@mikeybalzz thanks man. I go to college walking distance from lake griffin, so I just want to be prepared
@@cgravey nice that's pretty sweet!
Hey mikey,What pound test is your Fluorcarbon ,maybe I missed it thanks bro
on that stickbait deal it's usually 18lbs but i will use 15lbs (i try to stay as light as i can because it makes it a lot more manageable to pitch with ligher weights. on the bigger baits and over 1/2oz i run 20lbs.
Seen this dropped and literally stopped everything to watch. Your bids are 🔥 bro.
Hellz yeah thx dude!
What is yur go to frog
you know for a bobberstop all you have to do is take a small piece of braid and tie a uni knot on your line you don't have to re tie your bait back on every time
I wish my sone Mikey could go fishing with you….
Dude, I loved the triggered warning!! Literally laughed out loud GTFO..... Can't believe people would come to your channel if they didn't want to get the nuanced stuff that you provide. This is one of the things I like about your style. No BS, just say it like it is. #keeponkeepingon!
AWESOME HOT" TIPS!! MONEY!!!! B LIKE MIKEY" CHEERS" from Idaho!!!! ps. LOSE THE JBRAID "J" stands for JUNK" all sizes break MHO
Love the public service announcement! GTFO!🤣
I’m so bad at flipping
early
I own one rod for most other techniques but I have 3 flipping rods 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You're my kind of guy
@@mikeybalzz I have a MH Curado rod (it's more like a heavy) that I use for big worms that would be a killer flipping rod too but it has bigger guides so it's great for flourocarbon leader.
So I'm in Florida and I'm thinking about trying a dropshot around docks at a new spot. What do you think about dropshot here in Florida? It's a shallow lake, fairly clear, slightly tannic. Lots of other cover around the lake too.
@@pennysgarage i've caught a bunch in FL on a drop shot - even in the shallow grass lakes.
@@mikeybalzz Worm or minnow presentation?
80 pound braid💀💀💀 bruh
GTFO:
Get
The
Fish
Out!
