    Hey Nick I want to tell you how much I really appreciate your videos I have discovered them in the past year and because I've been battling cancer I have not been able to go fishing which is a crime in itself... And the only thing that's been keeping me sane from losing my mind for not going fishing three times a week is being able to watch all your amazing videos! So from the bottom of my heart and my soul take you because your videos are amazing!!! And I will go so far as to say they are life saving for me because I get to watch what I will soon be getting to do again hopefully.

      If you have a pc or a newer gaming console, there are many great fishing games. The Angler, Call of the wild being the best.
      And I say this as a almost daily fisherman living in Montana. During the winter, as I dont ice fish, it helps cure the itch.
      I wish you the best of luck on your speedy recovery.

    Great video as always Nick! Unless you're fishing for the most finicky trout in crystal clear water, I don't think there's a need to fish 4 lb. test. 6 lb. works for every ultralight situation I'm in and it gives me that extra bit of confidence in case I hook a big fish. You should be able to get at least 100 yards of it onto a spinning reel that size as well. Keep up the good work!

    • @jeremiahurban2457

    • @chipseiler1766
      @chipseiler1766 5 місяців тому +1

      I both agree and disagree. When fish are biting just about anything it's no big deal. When you fish a location like I fish, how slowly the lures fall is often instrumental in getting the fish to bite. That's where line size (diameter) comes into play. Sometimes a bit larger diameter mono helps the lure to sink more slowly, sometimes it's the smaller diameter that works. That's why I take several rods with different size line with me. Also, as a shore only fisherman, I can reach spots that I can't reach with heavier line because the smaller diameter allows me to cast lighter lures a greater distance from the shore, often allowing me to get to spots where the fish are.

    Doesn't matter what you catch your videos are great. They portray something about fishing not many fishing youtubers have, through the use of excellent camera work, careful editing, and well timed music, as well as humour (bloopers or jokes or fun stuff), excitement (big fish, epic places and rare things) and dissapointment (losing fish, catching a turtle, finding dead fish on the bank or getting skunked) you capture the beauty of creatures that you find or catch, while showing the beauty of the scenery and portray fishing as it should be: an adventure where you could catch, find or encounter anything.
    Keep up the videos, and happy new year!

    Finally you are close to the right spot. 7' deep all the way to the main dam. You are still on the wrong side. Next time stand under the general dean one west side work Rapala and flicker shad along the Rock dam between the intake and the rock dam. The trick is keeping the stripers, Walleye and Largemouth out of the intake structure. That point was the best place in IL. To fish before they moved the intake out into the river. They used to maintain good depth right up to the tower. It was like fishing in a barrel. Move up 100 feet and fish the bottom just up stream of the intake structure it is a Hotspot for Sauger. Good fish can be caught there it is the best spot in that hole. That tail end is where you should spend your time. Fish artificial baits Jigs and narrow lipped crainkbaits will change your life.
