I've never once in my life been able to get a bass to even bite a swim bait. I use them to find bass. I throw a swim bait, get a follower, throw a tube or a jig, and catch the fish.
As someone who has been bass fishing for less than a year, I can confidently say that you are TOO GOOD on your reaction times! You have such quick reactions that you were literally pulling the bait away from them before they even closed their mouths. I have also been bass fishing every day for that amount of time.
as a perch fisher from Sweden of course there is big differece in how we fish, but i can still take som of your metods and the way you go abut thinking how to brake down a lake with me. I fish more methodically ever since starting to view your channel. big thanks
After this dude tested all of the brands of line like he did, eliminating the fanboy propensity toward certain brands of line. I’m down with his content for life.
Great video. Nice to see an experienced fisherman with the best gear struggle like many of us weekend warriors limited to the bank and just one or two rods. I enjoy almost all your videos. Always something to learn.
Best bass fishing series out there by far. Getting to hear what the strategy is, watching how it unfolds and seeing how you adjust is invaluable. Would love to see you take on a blue herring lake!
These videos are very helpful. Also nice to see an angler not just flopping them all on the carpet too. Good to see that you care for the fish more than your own digestive tract.
Love this series, so glad u created. So much more about learning the mental game than just the lure of the month... if we learn the mental game by the decisions u are making, we get better quicker.
I love this serie SOOOO much!! I was waiting for that kind of video for so long: a true day on the water looking for bass, with every steps and reflexions show/described. Thank you so much!!
Tyler I think you are the only person who does videos like this, and videos like this are exactly what I'm looking for. I want to see/hear the thought process and the conditions and what your strategy as a pro angler is. The gear talks and gear reviews everyone else does are fun but this type of stuff is what I think is going to actually help me catch fish
I fish belews quite a bit, them spots are stubborn. Early morning dock topwater is key. I used choppo. My pb spot was a 3 on 40 foot of water, tied on a brush jig and drop it down 20 foot and fixed a sandwich, laid my rod down, the action of the boat set the hook. It impressed me how quickly you figured out the topwater. Took me way longer. Lol. Thanks for the lake series. My lake wow!!!
@BassFishingHQ As a saltwater fisher my whole life, @25:00 you are talking the gospel. I've had days where I couldn't get black drum to hit a dead shrimp under a cork in a spot I know has a ton of fish. Then I started peeling the shrimp and immediately started landing some of the biggest black drum in my life. Same spot, same flat, same cast. Just peeled the shrimp. Fish can be that picky. Also, I've been growing ghost peppers for at least 12 years now and honey is how you put out the fire. Forget milk, bread, pasta... anything anyone suggests. Nothing works better than a finger of honey.
A man of conviction,yes sir,enjoy your vids for years your new format is just as helpful and entertaining, the Finn gloves and shirt I bought are just as professional as your content..thanks
Thanks for the time and energy you put into these videos Tyler. Your videos made me a better fisherman and helped me to really start thinking how I approach fishing and trying to break down a lake I’m fishing. Hopefully it helps me in a couple weeks when I take on Kentucky lake.
I'm loving this lake break series! Really has a ton of good info you provide and could use to take on the water with me! Looking forward to more stay safe and good luck out there!
Thanks for posting the tough fishing days and looking at decisions that happened, decisions that should have happened sooner - and props on the hot wings.
Tyler, I just fished this lake today for my first time and did catch a limit and also missed quite a few bites. I fished the lower end and didn't go very far from the launch. We had strong storms last night and again this evening so I didn't get to fish very long but do like this lake as an option for weekday fishing. I probably wouldn't have fished it if I hadn't seen this video. Thanks for posting.
Will be using as much of this info as I can when I hit lake Gaston in about 10 days. Gonna be using my drone and new Garmin to try and find some good spots. Only have a little Intex Mariner 4 modded up so I stay close to the shoreline. Just listening to how you describe what's going on and your commentary in the moment I think will help me get some photo worthy fish this trip!! Great video, keep them coming!
Absolutely one of the most enjoyable videos yet. Love this series. Have to admit though, eating the wings was the best! I don’t usually get a laugh out of fishing videos. Keep it up please.
Thx for your honesty. A great day for sure. Maybe just a slight color change to that topwater or to the swimbait and fiddle around till u dial em in. Just a thought. No more fire wings. Bless be ya
Great video and series. Belews is my home pond and is definitely one of a kind to in the way it fishes. The spots out there are just mean as all get out.
Love it! Great content Ty!! I cant wait to get out on Indian Lake this year, back in the lily pads. How do you think the recent weed issue at Indian Lake will effect bass this year? with all the huge machines going through the lake to help take down the weed explosion.. might be a whole videos worth of info tbh lol
After chasing trout for over 60 years in Montana, I was told by friends living near the middle Musselshell river (below Hungryhorse) that smallmouth bass were in the river. 2010 I think, so I went down to the river and actually saw a 2 pound smallie get caught in the river. Haven't caught a trout since then. Or fished another river. But, I've sure looked at the Yellowstone river at Pryor Creek. No one fishes it.
Nice breakdown, I'd have swapped to some more natural colors with that water clarity. The swimbait wasn't too bad but I'd have been very interested in seeing the results from a color change on the top water. Bone is always a staple but I think a more clear bodied lure might have induced a more eating response than a slapping response.
This series is fun as hell. Would be interesting to see you do one that’s at a lake you’ve been to several times before, but not in awhile. Might make you balance past knowledge with having to figure out the current conditions.
Your fishing series is the best I’ve ever seen. Would love to see a video of how to identify structures etc with electronics for people who don’t have experience like myself. I’m not sure best settings, tricks and tips, etc and would love to learn more so I can better use my new hds live. Thanks!
Yea me too! I get stuck on something when and if i would pick up another bait like a crank bait I might catch more fish lol! But i am pretty blessed I have caught big Bass that some people never catch in a life time!
initially when you shifted to the jig back to the docks, try whipping a weedless tube or even a larger than normal ned rig and just light hops off the bottom and pauses back to the boat, that ususally does it for me in those situations
This is probably one of my most fav videos. I like the style and the challenge of not reaching your goal doing something uncomfortable such as eating spicy wings. Do more of these with other super hot stuff to eat lmao.
I love this series tyler. One suggestion, is to make the title of the video to something like "fiding bass episode 7." When I clicked on the video, it had a similar opening to the one you posted a few days ago and I almost clicked off the video thinking I had already seen this video. Just an idea, keep up the great work.
I’m enjoying this series so far! I’m a fellow Ohioan who’s actually BEEN to Belews. Surprised you didn’t try skipping a wacky rig or dragging a dropshot past those dock posts. It probably would’ve been a dinkfest but then again my buddy was doing well with a wacky rig a couple weeks ago!
Hey Tyler, just wanted to say i really like these video's. Especially because i live in NC and fish belews often. From what I saw its about par for the course and yes their teeth are pretty sharp.
I was hard headed today with a willow bladed jig head with a paddle tail. It's a great lure, but fish are not in the mood right now lol. Switch over to a ned rig and started catching trout. Which is nice because we haven't had trout in that lake for a long time. DNR stocked it last year with 4000 of them.
Hmmmm, trout on a ned rig, you say? Interesting! I don't often get to fish waters that hold trout, but im'a definitely try to keep that in mind for when I do. Tnx!
Awesome to see you in my neck of the woods. Fished this lake many times, and it can be frustrating. Love the videos and all the info you put out there. Side note, Belews Lake is pronounced Blues Lake. Why? Couldn’t tell you.
Love the series Tyler. I'm a very stubborn fisherman as well. Sometimes knowledge works against you. Keep the content coming! I've learned a ton just from watching your vids. Also, I'm going to be in Cincinnati next week and I'll have some time to kill. So, I thought I'd do some fishing. Any spots you can point me to that are accessible from the bank??
best advice, if you dont know where to go, dont go anywhere. Running a 2stroke with a jet, I hate burning fuel so I sometimes just kick the troller out and go from the launch. caught a lot of big fish within a 100 yards of the launch.
I feel ya I just got my boat out and for two days it was 52 and I didn't get a bite the third day i still didn't till I went to my home territory and fished the river and got 3, 20in small mouth bass
If they were hitting the spook when you killed it, why not change to a prop style topwater like a spin rocket or something similar? Also ... Those wings were brutal! Dang dude!

I've never once in my life been able to get a bass to even bite a swim bait. I use them to find bass. I throw a swim bait, get a follower, throw a tube or a jig, and catch the fish.
I thought it was going to be how you re-rigged that swimbait! Good job though man all your videos are 💯
You don’t know how to set the hooks that is the problem take a course lol go to school hahaha
As someone who has been bass fishing for less than a year, I can confidently say that you are TOO GOOD on your reaction times! You have such quick reactions that you were literally pulling the bait away from them before they even closed their mouths. I have also been bass fishing every day for that amount of time.
Good to see I’m not the only one who gets stuck on a certain bait that is clearly not working 😅 always the frog for me
@@xDx0xUxGx me too
Senkos always slap
3” Shad’s I never use anything else lol
@@justinc5226any certain brand?
@@andrewgiff6846 I use zoom the white shad swimmer jr’s
so grateful for this series tyler! as someone who’s out there without electronics it helps me learn a lot!
Thanks man! People seem to be liking it!
Same energy Bud.
as a perch fisher from Sweden of course there is big differece in how we fish, but i can still take som of your metods and the way you go abut thinking how to brake down a lake with me.
I fish more methodically ever since starting to view your channel.
big thanks
Us without electronics are missing out! Lol
Why dont you have any electronics? A sonar at bare minimum

There’s literally only 1 video so far, 😆. So maybe the best starting vid to a series
These videos are very helpful. Also nice to see an angler not just flopping them all on the carpet too. Good to see that you care for the fish more than your own digestive tract.
Love this series, so glad u created. So much more about learning the mental game than just the lure of the month... if we learn the mental game by the decisions u are making, we get better quicker.
Well said. Fish on brothers!

Dang that lake is CLEAR
Your killing it with the vids man. You bring real, in-depth well thought out content . Makes me think about how l approach a lake.

Lets go another one of these videos... Probably my favorite series by far keep it up!
Love the lake brakedown vids....feels like I'm in boat with you being guided...good vid
Thx for your honesty. A great day for sure. Maybe just a slight color change to that topwater or to the swimbait and fiddle around till u dial em in. Just a thought. No more fire wings. Bless be ya
Such a beautiful lake! NC spotted bass are massive, especially over at lake Norman too
Nice to see you rolling out the content again. Always enjoy your videos.
We all have our stubborn moments of fishing where we want to tell the fish what to hit. Great videos. Keep up the great work.
Very helpful videos on breaking down new water. I really appreciate it.
Yo!!! I love this type of content!!! Thank you breaking it down like this and making it relatable!
Great video and series. Belews is my home pond and is definitely one of a kind to in the way it fishes. The spots out there are just mean as all get out.
Awesome video!! Your rod and reel combos are amazing. Keep up the sweet videos
The best bait I've come across for follow up casts is a 4" fluke
Amazing series Tyler. I love this breakdown
Tyler this Awesome!!! Belews Lake is 15mins from my house. Pretty much grew up on it. Awesome content. Keeping it coming.
Love it! Great content Ty!! I cant wait to get out on Indian Lake this year, back in the lily pads.
How do you think the recent weed issue at Indian Lake will effect bass this year? with all the huge machines going through the lake to help take down the weed explosion.. might be a whole videos worth of info tbh lol
LOL “giving myself about another 10 minutes to be hard headed”. That was me all day today, I love it.
Liking the new find bass, weight and time clock videos
This is great tyler! The end is my favorite!

Haven't caught a trout since then. Or fished another river. But, I've sure looked at the Yellowstone river at Pryor Creek. No one fishes it.

This was very informative seeing you collect and process info and make changes
Nice breakdown, I'd have swapped to some more natural colors with that water clarity. The swimbait wasn't too bad but I'd have been very interested in seeing the results from a color change on the top water. Bone is always a staple but I think a more clear bodied lure might have induced a more eating response than a slapping response.
Love this series! Especially because I live in NC. I hope you fished High Rock Lake while you were here!
Thanks you for showing how it really is to go Fishing sometimes!
That's good to see and hear your plan and adjusting while fishing. Thanks. That was painful watching you eat the wings. Don't punish yourself.
This series is fun as hell. Would be interesting to see you do one that’s at a lake you’ve been to several times before, but not in awhile. Might make you balance past knowledge with having to figure out the current conditions.
I love these videos of yours! oh and those wings are amazing

Yea me too! I get stuck on something when and if i would pick up another bait like a crank bait I might catch more fish lol! But i am pretty blessed I have caught big Bass that some people never catch in a life time!
This lake is an Awesome lake!!! Spent many hours out there! There's some true Spotted Giants in there! Enjoyed the video!
“If that one had gotten off i wouldve told you it was a 5 pounder” 🤣🤣🤣 Absolutely love it
initially when you shifted to the jig back to the docks, try whipping a weedless tube or even a larger than normal ned rig and just light hops off the bottom and pauses back to the boat, that ususally does it for me in those situations
Thank you for the knowledge brother! Hope to see ya on the lake!
This is probably one of my most fav videos. I like the style and the challenge of not reaching your goal doing something uncomfortable such as eating spicy wings. Do more of these with other super hot stuff to eat lmao.
I really enjoy this series. I'd be down for a bank fishing edition
This was awesome, I learned a lot. Please do more of these,
Glad to see you in NC! Love belews! Wish I would’ve known u were out there
I enjoy watching these videos. I learn a lot on every 1. Thank you for the videos and the tips!
Love this series. Keep them coming.
Love your videos 👏

Great video I learned a lot from you and how to handle hot wings..thanks Tyler
Great videos. These really show the thought process and you see the good as well as the bad
what knot was that he tied @ 7:03 ?? looked like maybe a mix of Palomar and something else?
😂you stuck with your patterns and stuck to eating that spice.😂
I cant do it. 😆
Loved the format.
Should have titled this "Oh My Gosh"!! Lol...great video 😂 Props for keeping your cool. My title would have been "WTF"!
I’m enjoying this series so far! I’m a fellow Ohioan who’s actually BEEN to Belews. Surprised you didn’t try skipping a wacky rig or dragging a dropshot past those dock posts. It probably would’ve been a dinkfest but then again my buddy was doing well with a wacky rig a couple weeks ago!

terrific vid, Tyler!
Tyler, these videos are great, this represents how most of us regular guys fish ...... 😊
Love your stuff , if you ever come back down to Florida man I’d love to go fishing with you
If your still in NC try Lake Hickory. See if you choose some of the spots that i fish or maybe something im missing.
Hey! That’s a lake I actually frequent! 😂
This, and Oak Hollow when I’m fishing with my grandpa.
I love these videos. Keep keep putting these out there
This is when you downsize to the 5 inch magdraft. It's a smaller profile and they'll choke it. Great video!
Love the new "Lake Break" series! Wondering if we could get a special on bank fishing at a new lake?
That’s awesome! Nothing makes the man take his hat off except some reaper wings!
I was hard headed today with a willow bladed jig head with a paddle tail. It's a great lure, but fish are not in the mood right now lol. Switch over to a ned rig and started catching trout. Which is nice because we haven't had trout in that lake for a long time. DNR stocked it last year with 4000 of them.

Thanks Ty ! I get a lot from your videos like…… type of wings not to eat !! 😬
Awesome to see you in my neck of the woods. Fished this lake many times, and it can be frustrating. Love the videos and all the info you put out there. Side note, Belews Lake is pronounced Blues Lake. Why? Couldn’t tell you.
I’d be drop shotting those docks like crazy after seeing those follows. But I am a dropshot addict.
I always drop shot before leaving even a skunked area. Just to mop up. Then I know.
Love the series Tyler. I'm a very stubborn fisherman as well. Sometimes knowledge works against you. Keep the content coming! I've learned a ton just from watching your vids.

You’re going to melt the toilet tomorrow morning. LMAO! 😂😂😂
Great video! Would like to see one on smallmouth. Stay Safe & God Bless!!
I feel ya I just got my boat out and for two days it was 52 and I didn't get a bite the third day i still didn't till I went to my home territory and fished the river and got 3, 20in small mouth bass
Great job on this series of videos. Man.. you were the same color as your shirt after eating those Wings.
Another awesome vid. Loving the lake breakdown series. Did you get rid of your okuma tcs rods you used to fish with all the time???
If they were hitting the spook when you killed it, why not change to a prop style topwater like a spin rocket or something similar?
Also ... Those wings were brutal! Dang dude!
