@TexasBassassinator its on the way my friend I'm nose deep in oak pollen everywhere here down in Florida spring is here and their busting the surface your next my friend!! Good luck out there!!
@@robbubba8020 What's the best baits to throw in Florida right now? I'm in central Florida and the most I've been able to pull off this spring has been a 4 pounder on a wacky rig. What areas of a lake should I target too right now?
@Connor-zb4uo if the bass are bedding where you are that wacky worm is a good choice... I'm no pro but I always start out with a smaller profile bait in the spring time I feel the bait hasn't grown very much yet so something in the 3 inch range is good in soft plastics or a Zara Spook Jr or a small crank bait then as we get into summer I'll start using bigger lures I like that Spook Jr in the baby bass color they really seem to like it I hope this info helps you good luck out there!
Ahhh yes! Perhaps you ought to seek a situation where Working IS Fishing. LOTS of options exist. Remember, Audentes Fortuna Iuvat "Fortune favors the foolish (bold)". Best wishes.
Sometimes it’s not about the fish you catch but the experience. This lake is beautiful. Zero traffic noise, zero other anglers. It’s almost like you had it all to yourself your own personal paradise. After looking at those fish, it makes you want to go out on that lake and spread out a couple of thousand shad to beef them up a bit.
Dude if your out there I’m cool with you idk why everyone has to be a purist about everything when it comes to fishing and hunting. Also don’t support high fence hunting but that’s diffrent
I love having a fish finder/sonar on my kayak. Mine is a basic old style unit. However, I understand what you are saying. The main thing is to get out and try. Sometimes you catch and sometimes you fish but you were out and enjoying the blessings you have!
all a real fisherman needs is a hook and a string. No fancy kayak no fancy paddle no bait caster or spinning reel just a string and. A hook. That’s how ridiculous you sound. Who cares how other people fish. When did the fishing community become so toxic.
Great way to daydream of warmer days soon. I always love a good frog 🐸 bite. Maybe they were on the skinny side but plenty willing. As always thanks for taking us along Matt. Blessings brother
It is a really pretty lake and there’s several others in that area I’d like to explore this summer! A couple of them are quite a bit deeper and it seems like those lakes with a little more depth are better at keeping big bass alive through our harsh winters.
Froggy and foggy morning. The perfect 20 minutes video to start my Sunday morning before 9am church service. What a beautiful place you found there! Those are some hungry swimmers in there and MAN that looked like a lot of fun. Thanks for bringing us along Matt...great video!
@@kennethscullion2630 Nice !!....aint tried kayak...always been a canoe-dude....is there room enuf for a musky encounter? Hmmmm?....ps>top water night fishin is my forte'.....absolutely heart-stoppin moments!
@@davidmullen2227 I used to cottage on Shadow Lake by Norland back in the day. Caught lots of bass and one really huge walleye and muskie there! Walleye was 6.5 lbs at the mouth of the Gull River.
The MAIN reason I watch these, NO MERCH, NO SPONSOR ADS, and the fact that I feel like I'm right there hearing the sounds and feeling the hits! I recently got back into the game, kids wanted to fish with the other kids when we camp. They AWOKE THE BEAST! I LOVE LM BASS FISHING!!! Didn't realize how far all the tackle and gear has come, nor that Zebco is not what it USED to be 😢 I LOVE every opportunity I can get to take my daughter fishing with me! She's taken to it more than my younger son has and she's HOOKED! Hoping to get her first bass VERY SOON! She grasped the spinning reel in 3 casts and just missed setting the hook in 3 good ones! ❤❤❤❤
Aloha, nice to catch up on some of your vids. Great stress relief! Those first few looked hungry for sure. Must not be much food in there. Maybe I'm just use to the big fat river ones! Mahalo! Stay safe!
Im loving how green everything is out their!! Im in western ny and its been nice out but today its snowing again. Cant wait to put the kayaks in for some largemouths, im still chasing big pike from shore😊
Great video! Those hidden lakes on nice calm days are fun to fish in. I think you found out why no one else was fishing there. 😂 .. Still looked like a lot of fun.
Great video Matt and great catches! Although the bass very quite small they were aggressive and worth catching.Have a great weekend and take care dude! See you next adventure!
I love you walk up and say it looks fishy here. I was already thinking that. Id be fishing the channel immediately. Looks great b thanks for sharing this with us.
I think theres just too many fish and not enough food in that lake. I caught about twice as many fish as I put in the video but left out a lot of 14”ers for the 15”ers lol.
I always try to hit the inside and outside edges of pads they seem to hang on those edges or follow that frog to the edge. If they are really biting you can throw in the middle and they'll come up and blast them to! Super fun.
I got a brooklyn fishing yak because of your videos and have had many awesome adventures ever since! Learn a lot of things from your videos! Keep it up! And if your ever around the indiana lakes/rivers try chain o lakes! I fish there pretty often!
Frogs aren't always the most productive means of catching bass, but it's certainly among the most fun. I prefer drop shotting a live-bait rig. That's my personal fav. But pitching frogs near or over weeds and pads is always a hoot. I've only caught a handful of 20"+ bass (maybe 6 largies and 2 smallies that size), and at least three of those were on frogs. Great vid, glad you saw so many fish.
Good day in my book, top water froggin is always good times and great action! I'd go back before and or after the spawn, and see if it gets any better weight/size wise.
Terrific video! I kayak fish 5 or 6 days a week during the season here in Ontario, Canada 🍁 . Trout, walleye, pike and bass. Just last fall I started playing around with frogs, this video gives me motivation to learn the technique better and get the most out of top water bass fishing.
It’s a fun way to catch some fish! One thing I usually do is bend the hooks out a bit, it helps with my hookup ratio. I don’t think I had to do it with the Northland frogs but most brands I’ll bend them. I just like there to be a little bit of gap, 1-2mm, between the hook point and the frog body.
This reminds me of a lake in up state New York I went to as a kid. The largest bass I caught of the trip was the 1st one I landed on a spinner bait. As soon as we got out of the slew of the lake it was top water action for smallies!
Where do you find these lakes with no houses on them? Here in Michigan you could dig a hole, fill it with water and someone will build a house right next to it!
I had to drive a few hours but they’re out there, usually state park or forest land or just 20 miles or so off the paved roads. There’s many I’d like to try but they don’t have any access.
That spot at 7:25 reminds me of a lake that I fish pretty often up here in the pnw. What I've noticed about heavily matted lilypads like that is that the fish are right under the pads feeding. If you hear popping noises from under the lilypads, they're eating and chasing little bluegills n such around. I usually paddle right into the thickness of it and work a frog across the top or pitch a lighter texas rig right into little openings. Seems to work pretty well.
Where is your other kayak, Mat ? Haven't seen it for a while ? Always waiting for one of your new videos and I'm always mesmerized by the precision of your casts.
Top water... the fisherman's drug of choice! What a morning Matt thank you for sharing it with us
I have thrown a frog and Whopper Plopper for a few days recently hoping for that explosion. I have been sadly unfulfilled.

so true me everyday@@samtheangler47
not really😭 i’m 100$ lost in lures this week no fish😭😭😭
thats true..... only thinking of possibilitiy to fishing on weekend already make a working day better.😊😊😊
What a beautiful place to spend the day, not a soul around, some bass willing to bite, life doesn't get any better.

Indeed, Id breed some crayfish and shad. Let them get up to 10,000. 10,000 shad, 10,000 crayfish, then drop them in the lake.
@dacrosberSmaller bass are good eatin
The Bob Ross of fishing.
happy little fish
Just laughed way too hard at this 😂😂
Had the same thought the first time I heard this guy speak 😂
I was just thinking that & saw your comment right below 😂💯
Just that morning walk down to the water through the fog... amazing!
I live for that kind of zen
The sights and sounds of your videos are so relaxing!
Real fisherman. No motor. No trolling motor. No FFS. A paddle and some rods. Thats a true fisherman.
Fax the dudes with there fancy fish finders and 60k boats aren't near as cool to watch and it's cheesy
Dude if your out there I’m cool with you idk why everyone has to be a purist about everything when it comes to fishing and hunting. Also don’t support high fence hunting but that’s diffrent

You are definitely right about that man, going old school is the way to go sometimes.
all a real fisherman needs is a hook and a string. No fancy kayak no fancy paddle no bait caster or spinning reel just a string and. A hook.
That’s how ridiculous you sound. Who cares how other people fish. When did the fishing community become so toxic.
I love how calm these videos are
This guy is like the Bob Ross of fishing , completely relaxing vibes from start to finish and beautiful catching the entire time !
So excited, your videos are my type of ASMR
Same
Nothing better than top water over Lily pads! Great video and glad to see you are still posting!!
Keep up the lovely fishing videos 👍🎣
Gorgeous environment with all those water lilies. A marvellous fishing morning in that cloudy day.
Great way to daydream of warmer days soon. I always love a good frog 🐸 bite. Maybe they were on the skinny side but plenty willing. As always thanks for taking us along Matt. Blessings brother
great way to start the day right here
Early morning frog 🐸 fishing just you and the lake 😉🙂
as soon as i saw that view i was loving it and then got tight with a bass.... living the good life brotha!

Can't wait to get fishing!

12:00 Perrrfect cast -- right under that tree -- sure enough, he was there!
You're my favorite youtuber, thanks for all yo do!
Nothing like topwater frog blowups. Nice job!
That's what's nice about pike. If there's a bunch of little ones, that still counts as food for the bigger ones!
The Bob Ross of freshwater fishing. All we need is to paint in some happy fish.
I’m in AWE on the precision of your casting. Love this channel 😊😊

What a good day. Not too many big ones, but plenty of action. You cant really complain about spending a few hours doing that. Thank you for sharing.
A very well spoken young dude with skill. God love ya brother.
I abandon my family when I see YakAngler drops a video
Do 1 better, go fishing 🎣 brother 😊
Thank you for sharing another great video...highly enjoy the frog fishing..thanks
Oh Boy! That Channel with the Lilly pads would have me acting up!
Okay I’m jealous! That lake would keep me entertained all day! I LOVE frog fishin!
The accuracy of your casts are a work of art 🙌 I would have gotten stuck so many times out there
Matt, that was just what I needed, a dose of frogin bass on a fresh lake, awesome! Thanks for takings us along, take care and be safe!
Almost spring time! Have had some glimpses of warm weather....looking forward to it being back for good.
Awesome country up there, just beautiful!
That lake is amazing more like a swamp type lake love those places excellent video 🎉🎉
.
Good stuff.
Thanks NDYA
That’s a sweet looking launch!!
the humor you bring to your videos is just perfect!

These are the places I wanna go for fishing seems so relaxing
Another great video - beautiful location.
Another awesome video well done some really nice fish
Awesome, I can't wait till season hits in Ontario Canada
I love you walk up and say it looks fishy here. I was already thinking that. Id be fishing the channel immediately. Looks great b thanks for sharing this with us.
I gave it several casts off the launch before I started filming. That’s usually the first thing I do after spending a few hours in my truck.
Got yourself a new Danger Ranger!! Niice Bud!! Absolutely love the content!!
That sure looked like a great bass lake definitely needs a few hundred thousand 2 to 4 inch blue gill to feed those hungry bass stay safe out there
Excellent video my friend sure miss fishing for bass on the northern lakes!!
I know exactly where you are! That's one of my little secret spots to go frogging.
Man, those bad are sick looking, that state needs to put some minnows in that lake
They’re all stunted because of all of those weeds
Gosh I cannot wait to get out froggin this year!
I have never had much luck early morning frog fishing. Usually once the sun comes up a little, frog bite picks up.
Love days like that ! Great video !
I think thats the most fishiest fishing spot you have come across. Maybe in the summer the fish might fatten up by then.great video.
I think theres just too many fish and not enough food in that lake. I caught about twice as many fish as I put in the video but left out a lot of 14”ers for the 15”ers lol.
@@ndyakanglergotta take a few of em out.. loosen up the competition. That’s what I’d do at least.
@@MichaelScottDunderMifflin my thoughts exactly, people need to harvest these skinny fish. If it's remote tho I could see why it has this issue.
Can’t wait until the frog bite. My favorite fishing.
I always try to hit the inside and outside edges of pads they seem to hang on those edges or follow that frog to the edge. If they are really biting you can throw in the middle and they'll come up and blast them to! Super fun.
Love your videos bro ❤inspires me to make more videos and I take notes as well on how good you are at fishing! 🎣
Hands down my favorite fishing videos on UA-cam
Howdy everyone!
Howdy buddy
I think it is really cool to coax them up through the Lilley Pads.
Looks like they need to do a bait fish airdrop on that lake. Definitely some skinny fish that need food. 😂
Good morning! Wish I was there instead of heading to work! Frog fishing...😅

I really like that area, lots of pine forest and lily pad lakes. There’s a few other similar lakes in the area I plan to explore this summer!
