  • Опубліковано 11 вер 2024
  • It's the last week of April and we're fishing an upland stream in the Coosa River Drainage. Redeye Bass, Alabama Bass, and Largemouth Bass are the only black bass native to the Coosa River Drainage.
    BTW if you'd like to like to learn more about Redeye Bass, I highly recommend a book called 'Fly Fishing for Redeye Bass: An Adventure Across Southern Waters' by Matthew Lewis: www.amazon.com...
    I hope you like the video and as always...
    THANKS FOR WATCHING!!!

    Like Eric said earlier, those last few Redeyes had some super colors. Thanks for sharing you trips.

    My friend caught a red eye in amicalola. Never seen one there before

      Well that's part of the Coosa River drainage so Redeye Bass are native. You'd probably see a lot more if the DNR didn't stock so many trout.

      A lot of them are spawning (or about to) so they were lit up! Thank you for watching I really appreciate it!

    Are you using straight braid to your spinnerbait?

    • @ShoalBandit
      @ShoalBandit  2 роки тому

      Yes that's 30 lb. Power Pro Spectra (Moss Green) from Walmart. Definitely overkill for Redeyes but good to have if/when you run into something bigger like Alabama Bass. I can also throw a big topwater with that setup for Striped Bass, Alabama Bass, etc... without having to bring a separate rod.

    Nice fishing. I caught a redeye that long on my trip down there but it looked like it had a football in its stomach...The video of it will be out late this week or next week and i will let you know so you can look at it. I dont think its a hybrid but we will see.

      Thanks! This was an upland stream in the Coosa River Drainage. I don't want to blow up anybody's favorite spot in the comments but if you shoot me an email (shoalbandit@gmail.com) I can recommend some areas. There're tons of great spots in Bama...

    That's some plus sized redeyes. Better watch out or Dr. Redeye is going to hit up your spot.
