  • NEW CFA STORE creekfishingad... Florida trip part 4. This was my second day fishing in Florida and my first time ever fishing in the everglades area. I started out using the hellgrammite made by Nikko-fishing.com and it delivered. I was getting hits left and right and ended up catching a bunch of colorful fish with it. The peacock bass would only hit it when i would jerk it. I had so much fun using it, you will see it used in the next florida videos.

    Out in Butte County Calif. Live Hellgramites, and Hellegramite Flys, and to a lesser extent the plastics, are the ONLY thing you can get the big non-native Brown trout on fishing the Feather River upper reaches before it runs in Oroville Dam. You can get the Native Cut throat, Rainbows and the non-native Brookies( aint many of them, but they're there) on Worms, Grasshoppers, Salmon Eggs and small in-line spinners like Rooster Tails and a wierd little lure called the Super Duper as well as many different flys, but the Hellgramite is the king of baits for all species there, and like I said almost the only one for the big Browns!

    • @MrProfchaos71
      @MrProfchaos71 4 роки тому

      Well typically the shore isnt this clear.. thats the advantage of the boat. Also in areas with high pressure... fish are wary of lures coming from deep water into shore.

    • @jamesguilford6807
      @jamesguilford6807 4 роки тому +1

      Joe Blow; Yep, I have noticed that to, and I have also noticed that the majority of the people I see fishing, seldom catch a significant number of fish. I suspect the reason so many people do not catch many fish has to do with the tendency so many people have to use tackle that is either too heavy or in some cases, too light. Then there is the fact that so many fishermen do not seem to understand that rubber, metal and plastic, are not items that are on the fish's menu ! Yes, you can catch fish with artificial lures, sometimes, quite often even, but if you really want the fish to bite consistently, it helps to remember that fish, just like people, like real food, not man made, decorative, fake food !
      Speaking of food ,'' and fish, '' down in the part of the country I grew up in, we fishermen , although we did love fishing, we almost never fished just for the sake of fishing, but instead we fished for food. Heck, when I was a kid, I can remember eating fish for breakfast, lunch and dinner, along with goodies from the garden and hush-puppies, for 3 days in a row sometimes ! These days, its almost as if most fishermen are fishing, just to try to impress someone with their fishing skills, or as is often the case, the lack thereof ! LOL.

      @jamesguilford6807 4 роки тому

      @Serzy Productions ; That is good one !
      That said, MDs chicken nuggets might contain ammonia, bleach, and god only knows what else, but for the most part they are organic , usually tasty and more often than not, somewhat digestible as food, while the contraptions that so many people insist on using as fish bait these days, fit none of these criteria !

    I think I can speak on behalf of many other sportsfishermen/ and ladies out there in saying that the Nikko Hellgrammite is probably the hottest lure to hit the market in a long time. Just look at how many different species you can catch with them! I absolutely love them. Great video John.

    Sorry bud, I've been in the hospital and away from the keyboard for a week. I just got home tonight and wanted to comment on this video. There are places along I-40 that run from Raleigh, NC all the way down to Wilmington, NC that are sort like this, but on a much smaller scale. I've noticed the water standing before, driving to the beach as that is the way we go to the Outer Banks on North Carolina's shore. I have often wondered if anything lives in that water, the only problem is, you are not supposed to pull over unless it's an emergency! You just can't pull off and drop a line in the water. Where you were in Florida, it appears you can do just that. That is way cool. I'm glad to see you had a blast in Florida and I would recommend you doing it more. Get out, explore over state lines, see what you can come up with and all of us, you're fans will love it.....

      @@MarkWilliams-rp7nb In a whole summer of fishing, I had ONE fish attack it.... and then it dropped it and swam away as fast as it could.... on the other hand, 99 cent Beetle Spins always catch fish :)
