My name is Mike. I live in Mesa, Arizona. I make amateur fishing videos for fun. Welcome to Flip-Flop Fishing AZ!
I've fished all my life but just recently got serious about bass fishing, something I've never really done before. I started in July, 2022 and after a couple of weeks I caught my first bass; a 2.6lb largemouth on a ned rig in a Tempe canal. Since then, I've taken up kayak fishing and have caught 100's of bass and other species.
I decided to start videoing my trips because I LOVE everything about FISHING and think it's really cool to be able to go back and replay these great memories.
I am not a professional. This entire thing is a work-in-progress. I am amazed and flattered that anyone would want to watch my videos but here we are!
Thanks for visiting!!

Great video! 🙌🏻
Thank you!
Love being on board with Mike. Professional quality fishing videos . Can’t wait to see what else Comes out in 2025 Our Rainbow Trout colors do great here
Yessir! Good things coming for sure!
Nice video I've never fished that part now I definitely will. Thanks
Thank you! Great place to fish.
Excellent video Mike! Well done!
Thank you! It was fun to make this one!
Great video Mike. I love all the info.
Thank you!
Most of my fishing for the past few years has been out of the irrigation canals that crisscross the city of Mesa. It took a while for me to realize that I can ride my bike for about three and a half miles in just about any direction from my home and be at a stretch of water that holds fish. From my home it's a sixty mile round trip to the Lower Salt River, and there's no guarantee that I'll catch any fish. There's no guarantee that I'll catch fish in the canals either but, doing this doesn't put any miles on my vehicle or use up gas in my truck. Once they start the water flowing again in the Lower Salt river I'll probably go there again some time. The canals in my area have just started flowing again after the annual canal maintenance that the SRP does every year. Good video by the way. Cheers.
Thank you! Yeah, I get that. Especially if you're fishing from the bank. In 50+ trips to the river I've only been skunked once, but I was in a kayak everytime.
I had a question how are you supposed to get back to your vehicle without someone with you?
@@aidenriedel4552 Hi! I launch and retrieve at Granite Reef.
@@flipflopfishingAZ so its possible to paddle up stream and then back down to granite reef?
@@flipflopfishingAZ I’m new to kayaking and don’t want to get my self into somthing I can’t get out off lol
@@aidenriedel4552 Yup. As long as you're reasonably fit it's not too hard to paddle upriver.
@@aidenriedel4552 Totally understand. You might like this... ua-cam.com/video/YChVP3Poxv8/v-deo.htmlsi=EyJsgzulQ6cmyBh4
BEST ARIZONA FISHING VIDEO EVER! I love the explanations and format.
Wow! That's high praise indeed. Thank you! 😊
thanks for all the great info Mike i enjoy ever video
Ah, thank you! I had a great time making this one. 😃
Outstanding video Mike! Keep them coming please. Every video gets better and better.
Thank you! I'll keep posting as long as fish keep biting! 😆
Great video! Phatpaks for the W
Thanks, man! Been enjoying your stuff ever since I started bass fishing. Team Phat Pak ftw!
Amazing In-depth Video Bro!😬
Thanks, man! Lots of work but it was worth it. Had a ton of fun doing the fishing part! 😆
Production quality on point! Awesome video!
Thank you! I'm def not a pro but I tried my best. 😆 🤣 😂
Do soft plastic paddle tail that imitate minnows or shad work good?
Yes! Those will catch River bass all day for sure.
Such an awesome guide! 🎣🔥 Loved the detailed tips, but maybe adding a section on gear maintenance would make it even more helpful. Keep up the great work! 💯👏
Thank you! Genuinely curious what you mean by gear maintenance. Care to explain in more detail? Might be something I can do in a future video.
Awesome man, you just got a new subscriber! Phat Pak baits rock, Jesse is awesome and a really great guy!
@@nealenns7869 Yes, I love everything about this! Thanks for subscribing! Jesse is a good guy for sure. Makes some killer baits. Thanks, man!
Loved this
@@wellsjdan Thank you very much, Sir! Means a lot!
Good stuff! I love kayak bass fishing, though I fish a different Arizona river in my neck of the woods. I enjoyed your coverage of the lower Salt. I fished it a lot years ago when I lived in Phoenix. It has really changed over the years. You are very generous with sharing your river experience. Thanks for the great content!
@@VerdeValleyAngler Thank you, Sir! I've been interested in fishing your neck of the woods. I'll make it out there one of these days.
Great Video! Thank you
@@bobseneff6115 My pleasure! Thank you!
love this river man, hope to see you out there some day, sect 4 is definitely the spot
@@tyler6368 Agreed. It's such an underrated place to fish. I always have a good time out there. Say hello if you see me!
This kind of reminds me of GOAL Fishing. He was all about the salt river.
He’s watched GOAL.. you can tell from his video and lure selection.. should give credit where credit is due
@@thesonorandesertangler I miss that dude. He was great!
Did you get a new kayak? Or is this just your river kayak? What kind of kayak is it?
This is my river kayak. It's a Lifetime Teton.
Trout?? In May?? Didn't think there would be that many! Nice video Dude.
@@marklong4839Thank you! If I remember correctly they started stocking late last year.
Is that a homemade net or one that you bought somewhere? Keep up the good videos.
Thank you! The net is an Ego S2. It's pricey but very customizable and the telescoping handle is amazing!
@ thanks for sharing.
The water is always dirty down there when they lower the flow from Stewart Mountain and increase the flow from Bartlett.
Fact!
Curious how u get that kayak moving?

@flipflopfishingAZ cool
💪💪💪
Haha thats dope. 2 for 1 special
@@DrunkenChefBbq Yessir! Very efficient way to fish. 😆 🤣 😂
Great video, the salt river is so much fun. I just got a new kayak but i've never been in winter. What are you wearing to stay warm and dry?
@@darthcycy Thank you! I'm going to do a video about this soon. Stay tuned!
Nice work out there
@@phatpakbaits Thanks! Just doing what I do. 😆 🤣 😂
Another awesome video!!
Thank you!
You should come down to safford when u got a chance. I'll take you to some good ponds for the kayak
I might do that. Any smallmouth down that way?
@flipflopfishingAZ there is a pond that someone snuck some small mouth into but they are still small need another year or 2 to grow but you can catch alot of them
Good day Mike. The trout. the duck and the racoon that was cool too. What's the reason you didn't use your Pelican Kayak on the river?
Thank you! I used to take the Pelican but it's harder to get through the current.
Good stuff!
@@Snatchinlipsbaits Thank you, Sir!
I’m new in the area. Originally from Midwest. Live in the west valley. Have a kayak and ready to fish! I went to lake Pleasant once- about got run over! I checked out Lynx last fall the found out they are lowering the level for maintenance. I guess I will head to Sportsman Warehouse to get some maps. Surprise pond ain’t cutting it🤣I don’t Facebook . Maybe I’ll catch you on the water!
@@williamyoung8962 Pleasant is tough. Check out Alamo, Bartlett, & Roosevelt lakes. Plenty of others but any of those will get you started. I'm from the PNW. Fishing is very unique here. Good start by watching UA-cam.
What part of the river are you at? Cuz I know a lot of it is really low... Where do you park?
@@wellsjdan Granite Reef. I paddle upriver from there.
Water level is back up . Lots of grass. I hate the grass
Was just there
Fishing? How'd ya do?
Got a few bites nothing much
How long ago was this trip?
About a month now.
Nice to see that slinky worm putting in the work
Yessir! They are bass magnets for sure!
Do you put in at Granite Reef? If so, that is a tough place to launch!
@@johngarrett6908 I do. Honestly, I think it's the easiest place to launch of all the rec areas.
Awesome Video!
@@bobseneff6115 Thank you!
I just traveled down from South Dakota. In my van with my kayak, spending the weekend on Roosevelt. Any recommendations on where to launch from, going in blind?
@@ericgarrow8002 Schoolhouse, Grapevine, or Windy Hill boat ramps will do ya. Fishing s/b good. Good luck!
Why is it your last fishing trip at Roosevelt lake
@@ayidan-m5d Last trip this year. Click-bait. 😆
😁@@flipflopfishingAZ
Yeah where are the big fish?
@@maxcoatlhunter4322 😆 😆 😆 They're coming. Spring is just around the corner.
