    Because of Scott Martin , i have come to love the spinnerbait because last year in 2021 at the end of september i threw out a spinnerbait and got bait bait fish to rise near the surface , so i went out and bought more spinnerbaits. I feel I have come to Learn so much just by watching scott martin then i ever could in a school classroom about fishing.

    Love this video! I think the back to basics is a great idea! Helps old timers dial back in their techniques and helps new anglers learn everything about the techniques that work that we have spent a lifetime learning! Whatever kind of fisherman you are, we are all trying to catch fish and be successful. It’s always fun to fish but way better catching FISH!

    Once again you've nailed it! The basics are essential to perform or succeed with any particular activity, but for those of us that are self taught these vids break it down so we can understand. Kick some arse this week on Champlain.

    If it's further along than what you had hoped on champlain, what's the plan, go for the fish that are transitioning off bed's and go for numbers or keep looking for fat bedders? Tough choices !

  • @PythonDad
    @PythonDad 3 роки тому

    The lake near me is a fairly small community lake that I fish from my kayak. For the first time in the six years that I've fished it there has been an absolutely mental crankbait bite. I've probably pulled a crankbait through every cubic inch of water there this summer and have caught a ton of fish.
    I think crankbaits-and especially big ones-can be intimidating for newer anglers. They can be tiring, and people are afraid of losing them. The right equipment goes a long way towards solving both of these problems. I'm also a big fan of short shank EWGs. I change them out on all of the crankbaits I buy if they don't already come with them. Many people protest that crankbaits lose fish. There's no doubt I lose far fewer with the right hooks.
    Also I make my baits go deeper by kneeling and reeling. On super deep divers, be careful with this because if they go too deep, the water pressure can break them. But have fun. :)
    Edit: Also, always have some silent crankbaits on hand. I mostly fish silent ones, and keep rattling ones on hand for when those aren't working. Usually it's the other way around on highly pressured water.

    • @andytheiss85
      @andytheiss85 3 роки тому

      lower gear ratio gives you more torque. on the real deep diving crank baits it feels like your always reeling in a fish

    Great tips but you need to put the camera on a tripod instead of wobbling around. Better still is 2 different cameras with one zoomed in and one with everything in shot.

    Scott instead of instantly reading comments you need to let the people watch the video and ask questions about the video you know.(just a suggestion)
