I just wanted to send a BIG THANK YOU to you Tyler. I absolutely LOVE your channel. I fished regularly as a kid and young adult. Then took a 10+ year hiatus getting lost in life and fatherhood etc. I decided to start fishing again last year. I felt lost so I looked up videos on UA-cam. Your channel was so relatable and everything is broken down in such a teachable and specific way. Things don't always translate to bass fishing here in Colorado but every thing helps. You helped me get the right equipment, find the right places and experiment with new techniques. I truly believe YOU specifically helped me become a much more successful fisherman and helped me catch my PB last year. I can't wait for this winter to end and for the new season to begin. When I'm out on the water I'm always thinking back to what I've learned from your videos and applying it in real world situations. Thank you so much for all the time and effort you spend on teaching us how to be better fisherman. I, for whatever it's worth, am incredibly grateful!!!
If a see a mud line like the picture you showed of two creeks coming together, I'm dropping the trolly right there and fishing that! A mud line can be great to catch fish because those bass treat it as another form of cover. They run along the edge of it and can duck in and out to ambush prey. A spinnerbait is absolutely killer! Set your boat parallel to the seam and start casting.
I do love stained water. But have a question for you Tyler. I live a little over an hour north of you in Wichita Falls. And Lake Arrowhead which is the lake I fish mostly is classified as stained. But most of the time I can only see my lure about a foot deep. Is that really still considered stained water?
Thanks Tyler. I often overlook the conditions because I was catching bass on a certain lure or color. I need to pay more attention. Sometimes I think I do better with no prior knowledge. You always seem to have that Strike King Hybrid Hunter close by. I hope I get around to trying it this year. So many new lures so little time.
Hey Tyler, really appreciate your video’s. Do you ever do on the water lessons? I’ve been fishing for a long time( fly fishing, catfishing, occasional bass fishing) however I’ve jumped in with both feet bass fishing. Spring, summer were awesome, caught my PB(7 1/2) Winter is kicking my butt, I need help to catch some bass. Didn’t mean to bore you, but I absolutely love fishing and want to get better at it. Let me know if you do on the water training. Thank you for your time
What is your favorite lake in Ohio? I live near Sandusky and almost never leave Erie islands or the harbors, but I want to learn inland lakes for when Erie is too wavey (for a kayaker).
It’s always funny to hear what everyone calls different water color, “muddy, stained, clear.” Tyler is calling 2-3 ft visibility stained and 10ft clear water. If I fish water with 3 ft vis, I feel like I’m in super clear water.
I don't know how you or anyone can say stained water is 2-4 ft, when you are going to see a bright lure further than you are a lure blending in. What instrument and color are we using to determine this? Because the idea confuses me and only wish for it to become clear to me. I do enjoy your content and information though. And I thank you for it all Tyler.
There's no standard and that's why people will say 2'-4'. 2' being a natural color and 4' being a bright or very dark color. Example, you may see a off white spinnerbait at 3' and visibility is 2'-4'.
A general technique to measure water clarity is using a sechi disk or turbidity meter. However, turbidity is not stained and stained is not turbid. In turbid water, light is refracted by suspended particles, such as mud or phytoplankton. As compared to stained which is dissolved organic material that absorbs light. Therefore, 2-4 ft of visibility would be a result of one or both. Almost all waters are stained or turbid to some extent, but it is all relative to the eye of the beholder. What Tyler is saying is that when water clarity is from 4-2 ft as a result of stained water not turbidity, that is when the principles are important. To actually get an indication of how stained water is, you have to measure dissolved organic carbon (or known as fine organic carbon) concentrations in a water chem lab.

Great information and thank you for sharing 📹 👍
Thanks for the help brotha!! Always enjoy watching your videos and learning
Tyler great info and Thanks for the great teaching you do!!
Great video. Luv your channel. Keep up the good work.
Stained water (in clear water) can happen on sandy banks on windy banks and with boat traffic…
I often look for those scenarios.
Good info!
I've had some great days fishing mudlines like you showed in the beginning of the video. May be worth a video if you agree. Thanks for the content

Super video! 👍🏻
I love fishing stained water or muddy water or clear water lol
Can you check the “waddle bats” by Imakatsu lures. Looks good in the water.
Awesome video Tyler. You ever think of having a contest on you video channel an the winner gets to fishing date with you ?
Lol I’m my area 2-4 ft visibility is clear water 💦
Has alot to do with species too
