- Legendary guide Steve Daniels and I show you how and when to catch hundreds of big tasty Bluegills from Lake Okeechobee! We are fishing the full moon of July with light spinning tackle and a beetle spin type of lure.
I love going ultralight and catching bluegill, shell cracker, green sunfish and crappie! Some of the most fun a fisherman can have!
Thanks Roland.
Blue Gill fishing is the best way to get kids into fishing. Lite tackle and lots of action.
I have learned so much, about fishing, from your UA-cam channel. Thank you for paying it forward by teaching people how to fish!
I love all types of fishing . From saltwater to pond, I like to do it all.
This right here is what I like the most about Mr. Martin. A man of his status in fishing community is making shows catching bluegill and fishing goal courses, fishing off of a Jon boat with a ply wood deck. It's awesome!
Bluegill is really one of my favorite deals! catch them anywhere, so many varieties, and good eating
Gooooooood eating 🍽🍽 🎣🎣
Thanks so much for posting this video Roland. I love Bluegills but not that many out here in SoEs Idaho. But I love the fish and they are good to eat. Awesome stuff!
Really interested in the Beetle Spin setup. Going forward can you do a close up of lures and rigging. Would be a huge help. Also maybe links in the description to products used so we can purchase. Great video,
ITS a thing called GOOGLE
@@CORNDODGER Huh. I never fished with a GOOGLE afore. But I'll give er a go if it ketches me a mess of stump knockers!
That was nice fish thanks for the info on the line size I was using a little bigger line . My Dad had fished in a couple of tournaments with Roland .
Been watching you, bill dance, & the in fisherman crew for 20+ yrs..keep teaching n hookin em my friend👍👍
What about The linders?
@@Killacorn that's the in-fisherman crew i mentioned..
@@Killacorn it was the name of their show n magazine
@@misterblue710s8 ohhhh ok I see
@@misterblue710s8 thank you
Bluegill are a favorite of mine. I use a 3 wt. Fly rod and dry flies, poppers, adams, hoppers etc.
IMHO..absolute best way to catch them. Especially if weeds are present .
I see you just having fun like you always do keep it up I like your videos 😁
Really enjoyed this video Roland. Brings back great memories of wadding in Pelican Bay east of Kreamer Island fishing shell beds. Thanks
I remember how fun it was to catch bluegill as a kid. I'm not sure I would enjoy fishing for them now lol.
Love your videos roland, they have inspired me to dedicate more time to fishing because I really love it. Mostly bass fishing though there aren't any of those florida 10+ pounders up here in nh! Keep it up thanks
Some of my favorite fishing. Love finesse fishing with lite line 2-4lb! B.P.S. Squirmin Squirts are deadly on all Panfish & Bass I catch up to 7lb Bass on a squirt with 4lb line it's great fishing in Florida.
From time to time I'll get into a good one like these i call them Bull Gills
If I don't catch one right there they ought to take my fishing license... laugh out loud. I have caught almost everything on beetle spin. From sunfish and crappie to bass and pike...sand bass and smallies... what have I missed walleye too...always got a beetle spin with either a twister tail or a swim bait of some sort "sassy shad" type. I have literally had a chartreuse metal flake sassy shad and beetle spin combo in my tackle bag for over... well since '83. That's over 35 years. A guy I worked with told me about em. Next trip through Walmart...Sold!
I think some form of sunfish is every kids first fish and you never get tired of catching them.😁
Using small crank baits yes the beetle spins work. I use mostly worden’s rooster tails. The very small I can’t think of the oz their smallest. Like your friend said bass hit them. Bout a pound is about all I want torture my ultra light tackle. If the treble hooks is all you can find I either nip some hooks off to get it to a single. Treble you run into over hooking the 🎣. Even ordering order with single hooks. Colors are grey/white ,chartreuse/black. Then get into solid colors. Our wall mart i avoid like the plague. They have stuff but more times than not waste of a trip. Plus nobody on register in sporting goods.
Aye i love your videos
Great video Roland
I caught a bluegill that was so big I could stick both thumbs in it's mouth. From a strip mine in Illinois one afternoon.
Did anyone else see the rod runner ad on this video? By the time the ad was over, I realized I had never looked at the product itself at least once. But man, I sure want a rod runner now for some reason.
4lb test line good tip, thanks Roland Martin.
Want to really have some fun with them?
Try a Fly rod with a small pop fly.
My brother and I learned to fly fish when we were kids on the lake with fly rods. Boy we'd hammer bluegills, occasionally a large mouth on larger poppers and woolly buggers. Good times.
Bluegills is better than stock trout looooll
Eat those!!
curious what kind of rod Roland is using
GOAT!!!
Nothing negative here, but I’m wondering why you mentioned using crickets instead of worms, or bread balls as the top food baits for bluegills? I’ve never used crickets, nor has my 93 y/o father in all our lives fishing for anything in either NJ or FL. I’ve never had any success using those Beetle Spins lures although I’m sure they work. What about using Trout Magnet lures? If it matters, I agree with you about lighter line when fishing for panfish, but you left out what size hooks. I use size sizes from #4 down to #10 J style straight shank. I’m guessing you were using a 6’10” rod when you read it off the label, not the 7’3” you said before looking? Honestly, I’ve never used anything bigger than 6’, though most were 5’ to 5’6” medium to ultra light rods with spinning reels. I’m learning as I go about using those much longer rods for even the simplest of fish to catch. I bought a 9’ Crappie light combo by Shakespeare and out 8lb low vis braid on it and it makes even the smallest fish seem like a trophy. LOl. Best wishes.
Ive used crickets they can't resist them.
Learn something new everyday. Sadly for me being disabled, I can’t go out to a bait shop and buy them. I guess I’ll just stick with using nightcrawlers, bread balls, and my own patented dough bait. I was just curious why the baits I grew up using weren’t mentioned as everyone knows bluegills will attack nearly anything.
Thought everyone used crickets lol and Louisiana pinks
Crickets produce the most bluegill on Okeechobee.
Thanks for that bit of info Roland. I’ve never been to most of the lakes you’ve fished being from NJ and now living in Inland Central Florida on a brackish water canal. I sure wished someone who is experienced in bass fishing might stop by and fish with me and show me all I’m likely doing wrong. I catch Mullet like you catch Bass. LOL
Mr Martin Where can I get them sunglasses from Sr?
Can you eat the fish in the lake yet?
You love the senko you should give the Googan Baits Lunker Logs a try
Yes!!!!
Just to add a comment . . . Man my mouth is watering
Is that Shimano reel ya 2 using?
What brand of 4- pound line?
Bass pro
Son !
I live in Treasure Island...Its not what it used to be on north of lake..
No, but it's a renewable resource and it's coming back!
@@RolandMartinOutdoors Thank you for your response! Tight lines!
I SURE DON'T LIKE THE COMMERCIAL ADDS RUNNING IN THE MIDDLE OF A GREAT BLUEGILL ADVENTURE. WITCH A
WAS A FUN VIDEO. AND USING BAITS THAT HAVE BEEN USED FOR YEARS AND YEARS.
Please UNLOCK your CAPS!!!!!
Why are you YELLING at us, dude?
IF YOU FOLLOW U TUBE YOU SHOULD KNOW I ALWAYS USE CAPITALS ONLY. I SPELT COFFEE ON THE KEY BOARD A LONG TIME AGO AND THE CAP HAS BEEN EVERY SINCE. I HAVE GROWN TO LIKE IT AND HAVE NO PLANS TO REPLACE THE KEYBOARD. DUDE GET A LIFE DUDE
@@victorremick9721 you're telling him to get a life when you're the one complaining about ads
ADDS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SIZE OF LETTERING.. HE DOESN'T LIKE CAP LETTERS I DO. I DON'T LIKE THE VIDEO. ITS A MISTAKE TO PUT THAT ON VIEWERS IN MY OPTION. SO WHAT DO YOU DO? TURN IT OFF. THAT'S NOT WHAT ROLAND WANTS I AM SURE
WHAT I TYPED DIDN'T SHOW UP. WHAT I SAID I DON'T LIKE COMMERCIALS EVERY 3 MINUTES IN THE MIDDLE OF A GREAT VIDEO PUT THA ADDS AT THE BEGINNING OR END NOT EVERY 2-3 MIN DURING THE SHOW
