I like to throw flukes around shallow cover in the spring as well. I can also cover a lot of water on those shallow flats with them. Another thing I like to do in really shallow cover is throw something like a Skinny Dipper weightless. You can cover a lot of water and fish it super shallow.
Yesss I'm a bank fisherman and only been fishing a year , the fluke Jr In greenpumpkin and baby bass kills at my pond , lots of small bluegill and crappies that are about the same size as the Jr
Great video. I live in the Ozarks. Here in Arkansas there's a great bit of shallow site fishin going on. I went last week on the coldest and windy day. High over cast clouds and I had good luck Wacky rigging a senko style worm. It was a Alabama craw color and they ate it up. Then the sun comes out and they stopped biting. I changed to a roboworm straight tail and morning Dawn on a shakeyhead set up & it was back on!!! Lost a couple of nice ones due to breaking off on my leader. I'm back at it tomorrow morning. This time I'm throwing a Baby D Bomb on a drop shot and a Bellows Gill in 3.8 size on a free rig. Thanks for sharing this video.
You know I have noticed that people tend to try to use lures that look exactly like the bait fish in their lakes or ponds and they are missing out on so many lures that look nothing like the bait fish and just because it’s different it gets hammered, for instance a Gan Craft jointed claw 178 have tons of crazy colors but they absolutely work everywhere
I live in Washington state. Went to phx for a vacation with the family. Ran into desert bassin and we fished for a couple hrs and exchanged information. Such a small world. I randomly found your video and I know the dude behind the camera. What are the odds. Lmao
With the drop shot, you talked about using baitcaster, but it seems like a majority of people using spinning rod/reel. Is there advantages or disadvantages of using Baitcaster. I would prefer baitcaster. I have Shimano mgl 70 reel, and it does a good job throwing 5g and up. What line to leader would you recommend for drop shot on baitcaster? Also should I just buy spinning setup for this technique?
Great tips as always. The ice up here is finally gone but getting the last bit of snow. Got lots of big walleye last Saturday forgot my scale biggest around 9lb. I want that 15-20lb tho.
Ben would reccomend the H or XH Bass X rod for that baitsanity gill? Probably throw an islide 185 and wakebaits with it as well. Also, cody meyer is a legend in Norcal, you ever chase our magnum spots out here?
I like the white or tasty Shad jig with a sight flash or neon Wakasagi DoLive Shad. For bluegill, green pumpkin or sunfish with the neon Wakasagi DoLive.
Surprised you didn’t include the 110 & 110+1. I tend to catch a ton in the early spring on my bluegill colors especially the 🔥 colors from the bento boxes!!
There are honestly so many different options. Potentially everything can work this time of the year. I just personally get away from the jerkbait during spawn, but it doesn’t mean that’s right for every body of water and every body!
@@thehookuptackle_usa awesome. The bait fuel will tie me over till hopefully one day when we see some more ecogear scent come in. I'm still hopeful lol
Put a straight shank worm hook on a Ryugi swimming sinker TG football head to make an exposed hook wobble head, add a swimbait and you now have the GOAT goby/sculpin bait that they absolutely crush
Oh, I don't actually fish anymore anyway- I guess I just buy gear and tackle to collect it and wish, hope- maybe some wonderful, joyous day- ppl will leave me the fuck alone and let me go fishing. I doubt it though- very seriously doubt it. What's it like out there- anyone? Somebody send me some pictures or something- this is miserable. I have been trying to get on the water for over a month- haven't managed it one time- not once. All so I can take care of someone who because they're old and sick- doesn't even remember who I am most of the time. I went through this same thing with my dad- I know exactly what's coming- man this sucks. Eventually you don't even get to sleep because you literally have to sit with them every second and make sure they don't hurt themself or burn the house down or something like that. At east I had mom to help with dad though- now it's her turn and it's just me. I may have to revive Stony- I knew the bastard wouldn't stay dead for long.
Ah yes, the time of year where i still got ice, yall talkin bout the spawn keeping me going, and i spend ridiculous amounts of money daydreaming of warmer days.

Love these instructional videos. This is one of my favorites. The rat video was my absolute favorite

Can we get a hook up sun shirt that says “Right?”
Nope, my saying right?
Magdrafts, dipper, frogs...all great choices.. Thanks Ben/Geoff. ✌🏻🎣
The hook up tackle hires the best! Glad to see Desertbassin!
We hired Griff too…so…
@@thehookuptackle_usa hey now!!! Griff is my guy, he adds that fun factor
Great Info. That Orion robo PowerShot on the decoy infinity Hook catches those big pond spawners here in AZ!
Wish there was more people like u in the world..
Me too! I think…🤣🍻
Ik im late to the video but could use the skip the little one technique with maybe a 12inch worm? Or something like that
In Florida...Black/Blue stick worm and Spinnerbaits are hard to beat.
Love the video, I’m in Dallas Texas and did catch some post spawn bass all ready!! Tight lines my dude!!!
Thank you for watching! 🍻
I live in Idaho where there are no Shad but white, chartreuse, blues work really well I find. Along with darker colors to, it’s awesome!
👊🍻

Does the dolive stick fat work on a wacky rig as well? What is your favorite wacky rig hook?

Whitch braid line you use on a Shimano metanium and a adrena posion baitcaster 10-30gram

Hell yeah!
The Jig bite is on FIRE right now in phx
will a Decoy Makisasu Weighted Worm Hook Size 3/0 fit a 3 inches soft plastic bait?
24 today in Philly,boys up further north are still frozen over.it’s just brutal..
Choices…😜🍻
Where did you get your hat. Love it…want it!!
Ben would reccomend the H or XH Bass X rod for that baitsanity gill? Probably throw an islide 185 and wakebaits with it as well. Also, cody meyer is a legend in Norcal, you ever chase our magnum spots out here?
I’d do the XH. It gives you a little more wiggle room on the top end.
Great video as usual! Can you recommend one OSP Slipper Jig and Dolive trailer color combo for feeding shad, and one for imitating bluegills? Thanks!

@@thehookuptackle_usa totally agree. Once they bed I use the Cover Scat and they kill it!!
Speaking of A-rigs, we need that R vanguard to come back in stock.
Chris Rock must be a bass, cause he did not use his hands to protect himself at all
What's up guys can't wait for the respect series 110 to get here..
Thank you for your business man! Enjoy the new baits! 🍻
Also you guys should add a few netbait products. Mainly just to be able to carry their new "bait fuel" scent.
Bait fuel is coming
@@thehookuptackle_usa awesome. The bait fuel will tie me over till hopefully one day when we see some more ecogear scent come in. I'm still hopeful lol
Great video
Thank you for watching! 🍻
Itˋs time for a new challange OGˋS vs Young & Wild!
Like it!
Can you do this video for best under radar spring smallmouth baits.
Put a straight shank worm hook on a Ryugi swimming sinker TG football head to make an exposed hook wobble head, add a swimbait and you now have the GOAT goby/sculpin bait that they absolutely crush
It’s coming!
@@jamesh7469 cool Idea I'll definitely give it a try.
Still 2 months away in CT. 3 in NH
Plenty of houses for sale in Arizona…😜🍻
😑
Can I get a cool ass small frog recommendation? Thinking smallmouth in reeds!
Try the lunkerhunt spider!! The bigger size on med/heavy spinning combo, 30lb. Braid...u will kill em'!! Live target 45 series works very well, too
Andy Bales appreciate it Andy!
