    You are still a great fisherman motor or no motor. Don’t forget where you came from fishing on the ditches in Tennessee. “Ditches to Riches” thank you for a great year.🤜🏻💥🤛🏻

    Check out Justin's with the spot lock! He doesn't always use that one, uses for different circumstances. He also has a peddle kayak that he uses a lot. Kayak Catfish. He's how I found you, when he dumped his!!!😂 He would be a good one to reach out to.

    A good flat bottom boat with a good trolling motor can get you in a lot of places. It’s more comfortable and you can carry more rods, tackle,&food. I definitely see were the kayak is still needed but the comfort level in a Jon boat is awfully nice.

    anything breaking in fishing is incredibly frustrating and annoying whether a rod, reel, or bait. i cant deny a spark of joy that comes along with it, though. the realization i get to go and get a new rod or bait, and having a legitimate reason/excuse to give the ol lady so she cant be too upset is sublime lol

    I broke a st croix casting Rod this year. Never a fun time lol. Thankfully they replaced it for free. I enjoy watching you search out a body of water. I’ve been hung up on electronics.. I think it would take away from the connection I feel as I am out there searching for the next fish. I love the element of surprise and feeling a big bass just smash my lure. I’d rather that be the start to fighting a fish in verses expecting it and just getting mad when I see fish on a fish finder that won’t bite. Just my .02

    That stretch of river is exactly what made me rig a trolling motor on my kayak when I was down there, John! And it took me pretty far up the river above that ramp you were at, drift fishing all the way back! If you want pics of the very simple mount I came up with, just contact me and I'll send them to you. The whole thing fits into the existing rod holders, so there no major modifications needed, and it removes easily in a few minutes! Definitely a nice option to have when fishing certain waters.... :-)

    Atta boy, winter time = less fishermen = less pressure. I try to concentrate on banks that recieve the most sunlight with rocks or boulders. The water should be warmer. Slow down because the fish slow down, especially the big ones. I don't know how you feel about Ugly Stick rods but the're really tough. Thanks for sharing and have a Blessed Day!!!

  • @joekeith4917

    Dec is one of my fav months to fish. My PB for most fish in 1 day solo came in Dec. They bite best here in south MS right before a cold front. They’ll still bite spinners and chatters but I have to move em a lot slower than usual. Any day fishin is a good day regardless of the results. God bless.

    Don't you have a Bass Buggy? I use a pond prowler when I want to use an electric motor. Works great for me. I use my kayak for smaller rivers. Those Old Town Motorized kayaks are a fortune. I hear you on the electronics though. I like to find them on my own without electronics too. Seems more of a challenge that way. Sometimes my instincts are right, sometimes not.

    In cold water it's best to fish very slow with very slow finesse baits.
    Fish will not go far to chase moving bait at all because it expends energy and they are cold.

  • @chipseiler1766
    @chipseiler1766 Рік тому +1

    OOOohhhhhhh... So sorry about your rod. My heart sank when I heard it because I also saw it happen! ...It does open up the "replacement" options path. I hear that Zodias rod is really good... but so is Dobyns... the Lew's line up... St.Croix... and more. These days there are so many options. I think that when you do get a motor you're gonna be sayin' "Why did I wait so long to do this!" ..I like that you still feel comfortable fishing without electronics. To me that's still real fishing. It's a shame that we have to compromise so much to "stay competitive" these days. One of the things that I like about your channel / fishing style is the fact that you don't use electronics. As a bank and pond fisherman, I have never owned a single fish detection device in over 60 years of fishing. That's not to say I wouldn't if I could afford one, but I do enjoy trying to figure them out! Blessings!

    I was thinking some of the exact same things this last weekend fishing the river! I was hoping for a couple big fish but did get one 20 incher. I also paddled my butt off! It took me 2 hours to paddle less than 4 miles back up against the current and I was really wishing I had a trolling motor or a pedal drive! The river was moving pretty good and really challenging to fish in the rain.

    get the gps spot lock if you can - if not just get a decent trolling motor - speaking of trolling - you should try trolling cranks right down the middle as an experiment - you can cover a lot of ground and it will help you figure out where the fish are - an of course talk to some of the fish finder manufacturers and try to get a sponsorship
