- In this video I explain how to break down a bank fishing spot fast with a bobber. I've used this method for years in tons of different lake with massive success!

If you take a straw (one you use for fountain drinks), cut them in half, then seal off both ends using a lighter, it's a highly effective bobber for panfish. They just don't detect it. Luke from catfish and carp did a video on it and I've been using that method ever since. Works great.
Very good information on this video.
how do you strap them to your line?
@@Francois_Dupont the way I do it is I first seal one side of the straw using a lighter, then insert a splitshot into the straw on the other end and push it in about an inch, then about a half and inch, next to the split shot I inserted, I fold the straw using very thin needle nose pliers and expose just enough to melt enough to make a seal. Now you'll have about 1/4 of an inch left for you to thread your hook and line through that doesn't need to be sealed.
@@earthcoolsoncemore i think i will seal both ends with pliers and pierce one of the sealed end to make a hole for the line to act as a bottom hole slip float. like these (porcupine quill float) s1.bukalapak.com/img/6549877313/s-400-400/Kukumbul_Umbul_Umbul_Pelampung_Pancing_10_cm.jpg but instead of a corded loop a simple hole in the straw.
Got these thinking they were the slightly larger Panfish floats ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx_rJB7cli5f1ofPVGgn80S7Yj4vqwq0gU they work just fine. The smaller size lets me carry more in my tackle box, and the 3 color choices are nice for different lighting conditions, backgrounds, etc. They aren't the most durable things in the world. But, as cheap as they are, it's not heartbreaking to lose one or have to replace a worn one. The price on these fluctuates wildly, from about $9 to almost $16. So, time your buy accordingly.
Thank you for explaining clearly and for fishing from shore instead of from a $30,000 boat with 1/2 of Silicon Valley installed. Micro-jig = 1/64? 1/80? I am a new subscriber.
You make the best panfishing videos on UA-cam hands downs! Your contributions are greatly appreciated!
holy crap ive been looking for a channel as good as yours for a year now great information and explanations which is what my rear needs thank you
Thank you!
I've said it before, I'll say it again. You explain so well and I appreciate it.
Thanks bro!
I've watch many of these youtubers show and these title what their show will explain but really don't.
Your show is the BEST by far!!
You are the Brady of fishing! You are winning......
Made in the USA lifetime warranty. Those are some beautiful floats. I recently found a few and bought a few.
The notch on top of the float is a hook remover. At least on the glow in the dark model. The rest are just real nice floats.
OMG thanks! I wondered and now it makes sense! Got mine at Walmart and they are nice!
I have appreciated what you, and all the UA-cam "professionals" have taught me. I've been inspired to go out fishing again for the first time in decades.
I just spooled my Pflueger President 2500 reel - I was shocked at how tiny this one is, and people are talking about 1000 and even 500 size reels. A 500 size reel must use a thimble for the spool.
I bought some 1/32 oz jig heads, and guys are talking about 1/64, 1/80 and 1 guy even talked about a 1/100 oz jig head. I feel like I am the Jolly Green Giant out throwing meat hooks trying to fish.
Am I way too big for bluegill ?? Do I need to find nano equipment ??
Keep up the great work !! Your efforts are appreciated.
Just listen to Nick and watch his videos, he's very experienced and I would hold his advice above most anyone, and also you don't need to go any lighter than 1/32 in my honest opinion. Happy Fishing 🎣🎣👍
"Once I get bit, I'm going to keep trying to catch um".......That is the same fishing philosophy that I have! :)
Seriously, I enjoy your vids, thanks!
Ken Rice lol
This is my first of your videos, and I want to say before I move on, thank you for the explanation of all the different rigs. I am so a novice, and onlu fish bobber and worm, cricket type setups. I have a 30 year old rod and reel probably should replace that, but I really want to learn how to move forward and get our catching more. Thank you for you time.
That dog @4:31 looks like mine 😲 Great breakdown on the "grid" 👍
Is it lost? I found both and turned them in. Thanks!
*These are easy to use and highly visible **enjoyable.fishing** recommend they are extremely valuable for going from a dead drift set up to a float setup. They save time and you don't have to re-tie everything to add a float to your presentation.*
You a HOOD FISHA 😂😂 good instrumental and great video!!
Dang! I stopped getting Lucky tackle box a few years ago. Monthly fee has tripled. At that cost, I can buy specifically what I need and be money ahead.
Thanks for the video. THanks for getting right on topic. Hate the 30 second intro crap. Subscription hit.
I love the way you explain.
Just found your channel and am loving it so far. I'm not sure if you answer questions in the comments but I'll ask anyway. I never thought I'd really enjoy fishing ultralight so I just got an 18$ combo from walmart and I want to upgrade because I found it to be really fun and it... feels like an 18$ combo. It's a 5' rod which I feel is too short and have been using 4lb test with a reel that takes 140 yards of it so I'm assuming it's a 1000 and not a 500? What rod length and reel size would you recommend? I was thinking about 6'6'' but don't know if that's too long and I heard that 500 reels have shorter casting distance and more line issues like the line forming a spring like memory etc was so thinking 1000? Right now I mostly fish open water but was thinking about checking out some streams and rivers where the banks are kind of cleared up and not cluttered with trees and bushes. I'm not going "all out" on an ultralight combo just better than the garbage walmart one I have now. The rod I was looking at was OKUMA Celilo Graphite Lightweight Ultra Light Trout Rod which comes in 5'6, 6' and 6'6'' with the only difference being .1 oz increase in weight but the 6'6'' one comes with an extra guide and the reel was the Shimano Sienna 500/1000. I think the difference in weight is around 1.5oz and the 1000 gives you an extra 40 yards of 4lb line. Any help would be great so thanks in advance.
Very thorough explanation. Greatly appreciated.
Looking back on it, when the grub was invented. They were literally just nubs. The curl tail came after
Great video, thanks for the advice.
dude where do you live??? you have the most beautiful backyard am sooooo jealous!!!!! that is honestly my dream home. I could live in a cardboard box if that was my backyard.
Prestige Painting I think he’s in Northern California.
There's Yellow perch in Northern California at Irongate reservoir and COPCO reservoir.
How do you set the hook with a float? I always miss whenever I use the float. I try and reel the slack line, but the bluegill drops it. When I only set the hook, the bluegill drops it.
Here saltwater fishing in Texas jetty. I can tell what biting my shrimp under a float. Float moving straight down is sheepshead. Float running sideways on top of the water is Spanish mackerel. Float goes down but come back up then goes down again side way is spotted trout. Float goes down and up nonstop is small pin fish
I just discovered rocket bobbers at WallyWorld this summer and now only use them when I float fish.
Great, education video.
A lot of good info. Thanks
Pardon my ignorance, but what do you do with those tiny, tiny fish? They’re called panfish. Do you fry them, use them for what? Please explain. Thanks.
Is the micro jig (Whip'r Snap) 1/32 or 1/64 size? Also, which size (1/32 or 1/64) do you think would get more bites? I'm a beginner and fish in Michigan. Looking forward to trying these techniques for panfish, crappie. Thanks.
Nick, do you think you can fish popular shore locations to give your insight on how it should be fished?
Awesome dude panfish mania madness!! Lol
Whenever I try to reel in the slack before setting the hook, I always seem to miss the fish.
Me too
Great video, but you never mentioned how to avoid line twist when free bobbing, or did I miss that part?
Use braid
what if you put the weight below the hook will the bobber respond if a fish grab it? my best day at castaic(small smallmouth 2 striper and one big largemouth) from the banks was with a micro jig and fixed bobber about foot up. even the big fish like the micro jig.
Nick were on the delta would you TARGET (shore fishing) crappie deep holes , cover , boat bock/launches, near trees , points , flats, emerged/submerged grass, what are the high percentage area I can look forward to targeting crappie ?
Outer edges of grass flats next to current and deep water
InformativeFisherman thanks man keep up the hussle rep that Cali life
That was fancastic
Can you fish off the bank also I like your tips but want to see you use them from the bank
You’re casting a float and microjig 160’? Without a noodle rod and 2 lb test? What’s your secret?
thnks for the tip IF
Line wt?
Jig sz?
Weighted bobber?
Nice
Very informational
Super informative
Sincerely BOOTS
What rod is that?
160ft is 40 yards a no.
watch the duck 3:40 lol😂😂
Will a double uni knot work as a bobber stopper?
Yep!
leave the tag ends a bit longer
Lol nice intro/beat
