    I used to be one of these discouraged fishermen. What I've found is, YES, it is a location thing. You can cover a whole lake and with bad luck and timing, 70% or more of your casts just might not put a lure in eyesight or earshot of the fish. This is why people are so protective of their "spots" more so than they are with whole bodies of water. Picking up bass fishing and expecting to go out and slay every day was a huge mistake I made when I started. What I ended up finding is that you need to take LOTS of time and failure, explore the obscure areas and find your own spots. New original spots, instead of asking around to share others spots. There are plenty out there, and they may even change over time, but you can find the reliable "honey holes" that you hear about. The important thing is the know that exploring and getting skunked some days is still making progress, and tomorrow, that weird spot you thought about while looking at maps might be the one.

  • @mzahra1
    @mzahra1 11 місяців тому

    Once you find a spot where they bite, and if you're with a buddy, you can "double up" on the bass. When bass are caught, they often panic and regurgitate their stomach contents so they can fight better. Other bass know this and will follow them around (as you noted a bass following your bass in another video) and eat that up. So before you land your fish, your buddy can drop his bait into the water near your fish and catch another bass easily - doubling up! You should do a video on this.

    4:04 This video is really speaking to me at 4 mins in. I’ve catfished all my life (48yrs old) never had luck with bass. I bought a pontoon in 2020 & have it docked on a lake 20 minutes from the house here in Ohio. My father in law & I really wanted to get into bass fishing last year & went out every Fri afternoon after work. Only had 1 pole when I started last year, then bought a second so I could have 2 rigs set up. Didn’t catch not one bass & my father in law caught maybe 2. Fast forward to this season…I bought 2 more poles so I now have 4 rigs. It’s the end of June & I had no luck all year as of yesterday, then I caught my first 2 bass. Both under a pound but I now have my confidence lure!!! The biggest shock was how the bass strike. I was expecting a big strike but both bass I thought were snags. I don’t know if bigger bass strike harder but now I know when it feels like a snag it could be a bite. Thanks for the videos!

    Thanks for this. I’m new to bass fishing. Fishing altogether. My 4 year old son told me one morning he wanted to go fishing. So we went out and got some rods, reels and senkos. That was late April, and we’ve only caught one small largemouth since then. I’m in southern Idaho and guys are saying the long winter we had messed with the bite. We’re near the snake river so I think we’re gonna start to target smallmouths instead.

    Some of my most memorable fishing days on the lake, were spent in the “suck” mode for 6 hours, then only to move and find the feeding bass. For the next few hours, it was great fishing. Don’t be afraid to run the boat to another part of the lake. Use your guts and instincts and If you want to try somewhere else, do it. I always think of Bassmaster Classic winner Randy Howell on Guntersville.

    Exactly bud. From my experience on any body of water , 75 to 95 % of that body of water is fishlless. Give or take a certain percentage but the main thing is you have to actually work at it if you wanna catch bass. Many mornings after I could not feel my casting hand from casting over n over n over. You have to love love casting and hitting your target like throwing a base ball. Ounce you understand that the bait you choose is secondary.

      I don’t know much, but I do know that the color of the lure is dependent on the water clarity. With clearer water, it’s recommend to use more natural “fish-like” lures with grey tones. In murky water, bright flashy colored lures are recommended. The lower the water clarity, the brighter the lure and vice versa.

      Both. 👍🏼 I actually try to find a more natural looking white/shad pattern chatterbait and trailer for clearer water (Like a “clear water shad” color chatterbait with a Tennessee shad Yamamoto Zako). I’ve had that same clear water setup tied on and pulled fish out of a mud line. Often in stained water in the spring I’ll run a “blueback herring” color chatterbait (it’s primarily white) with a green pumpkin white Zako. Green pumpkin, black and blue, and darker colors work well in stained water also. On the flip side, I’ve heard river guys say they sometimes like black and blue in clean water too. Tons of vibration means they don’t always have to see it.

    I’m not one for covering a lot of water I want to thoroughly dissect every inch of the water. I want to fish it completely and thoroughly before I move on. Can I miss fish that are biting yes but you can covering lots of water too. Covering water you can miss a “bite window” much more easily. But everyone has their own way to find fish and find active fish. I also like shallow water rather than deep water. I am a cover fisherman more than a structure fisherman. I like structure that has cover on it best!

    I’m working on mastering my Chatterbait technique. It is still a bait I have low confidence in.

    Tyler I'd love to go fishing with you. Close to home in pickaway county. Very small 200 acre lake very very very pressured and a very challenging lake. If your interested let's get together man make this happen it would be a great video for a lot of viewers who like me are forced to fish according to life and schedules. And I really think it would apply to a ton of viewers and supporters.

    I am still a beginner. So trying to learn, but only ever have known the basic push button bait casters.
    I am also only able to fish 3 bodies of water in my area because of either distance or because of being restricted to bank only fishing.
    Granted, I am happy to catch anything. Bluegill, crappie, bass, catfish, etc.
    But I don't have a confidence lure yet. I was traumatized as a kid away from fishing for years, so just getting back into it.
    But the 4 times I have been out, I have gotten skunked 3 times and one baby catfish the other time.
    But I have been buying lures whenever I have a chance. Even have a bunch of my grandfather's old lures.
    I still need to learn how to use a spinning rod/reel. But, I need to learn how to tie knots as well, because it is a skill I don't possess, so I only know simple loop knots, not a clinch knot or nail knot, which I am told are the two most common fishing knots.
    I appreciate you teaching me things. I just feel stupid sometimes because I am restricted to a certain area and can't seem to figure the fish out.
    With my being diabetic, I can only walk for so long before I tire out. So I can't cover 10 miles of a creek or lake. I might be able to do 1 or 2. I also don't own a boat, and living in an apartment, probably never will.
    But, I am trying to learn, just wish I had someone who could break it down in a way I can learn easier and help me "get it".

    Great video bro I have a question what do you do when you are a co-angler and your boater has you in a bad area

    I bank(I’ve never been on a boat) fish at the lakes around Delaware Ohio but I have so much trouble finding bass or I’m using wrong baits. I’ve tried tons. It has lots of pressure.

    Fellow Ohio Angler. Fish the South West portion mostly. Always trying to improve and become more competitive within my club. I'll admit I've always struggled with the fast fishing. I'm very methodical when I work an area and I'm sure I waste a lot of time as a result. At what point do you slow down? Covering water quickly makes since, but there is also the argument of not leaving fish to find fish. When your on them, what is the deciding point to move on? I've had times where yes I'm on them, but they don't have the size I need. When is that deciding factor that you leave fish to hopefully find bigger fish?

    I feel most of the fishing is done before you even get on the water. It's map study and weather trends. Once you get on the water you're just checking waypoints hopefully the bass are in a pattern you recognize from past experience.

    I KNOW I can fish. HOWEVER, I grew up fishing in East Texas literally catching fish on bare hooks more than a few times. Now that I live in the Mid-Ohio Valley at the Ohio and Little Kanawha rivers, catching fish is WAY more challenging, especially from the banks since I can't afford a boat...and there are surprisingly FEW public access points to boot. That being said, it's very easy to internalized the bad fishing here and think that it's something I'm doing wrong. The people that grew up around here don't know how bad it is. If you don't want to catch catfish, this is NOT the best place to be.

    Especially when I see fish on my sonar, I have a hard time psychologically just blowing through a spot or spots if I don't get hits quickly and Im always thinking to myself I just haven't found the lure or presentation they're looking for at the moment in this spot (or this day).

    Can you explain thermacline, and does it effect ponds. I fish a lot of ponds in South Carolina and most are under 10 foot in depth. The surface temp is around 90 degrees.
