Appreciate you considering my suggestion of this video. I always tell the guys in my club that we can all catch fish the winner is who can find the fish. Great stuff and keep it coming. Happy thanksgiving
Old school kayak angler, meaning I paddle and have minimal fish finder that I use mostly for water depth. I find fish by fishing and using my eyes and what I’ve learned from time on the water.
I watch a professional fisherman have a guide take him out to show him nis fishing spot and turn around a give the money for showing him these spots that why I don't fish tournament more 😂
Great info and it really resonates with how I approach fishing! I have electronics but I mostly fish to find fish and really pay attention to all the variables when I catch one and start thinking of possible patterns. Ex. Fished back of creek the other day, nothing for 2 hours, then started fishing out of the creeks towards the main lake and bam! Found a few and repeated that pattern on multiple mouths of creeks. It’s a feeling of accomplishment to just figure out how to catch em.
You are so blessed to live in southeast Texas, and I think the fisheries are taken very seriously, great care, I live in north east Mississippi on the Tennessee River and its nowhere taken care of as a fishery, its just for barges and its tough and you know it cause you just left Wheeler, Thanks for all the ideas and advice and knowledge that you share with us, 20 degrees Sunday night this weekend, I hate really cold weather, Take care buddy
Great video. I have never fished with live scope at least not yet. Everything you said describes fishing before electronics. Everything you said makes sense
Good points, I picked up a garman 7sv , no maps has way points but I don’t use it because you can’t download any maps, sucks but whatever side image, down image, 2d , 125$! But anyway trying to figure it out, but was on a PFA in tifton ga and pedaling around in my feelfree yak , playing with my sonar out away from shallow water, and saw a spot like a small cove and said I’ll give it a shot, probably no fish but what the heck, well I get in there, sling a whopper plopper around, 3rd cast, 6lber kills it! lol bro your right, just have to keep a open mind, they could be anywhere!
Now this is going to be good!! May take several videos tho todd yournot gonna do it in 20 min ..lol but i think this has the potential to be the best series if u really teach it!
I spent couple hrs throwing around the shallow hybrid hunter on grass flat sat i know theres fish in it but i never found them still learning this grass deal because the grass is new here in GA just showed up few yrs ago an its spreading.
Did you design the gravel dog and what about it makes it a better crank bait that what’s out there ? I just noticed that you had a buddy on the boat b4 you started throwing the gravel dog and then you didn’t .
That’s what separates you from the pack in the Success Department my friend. You have a solid foundation of knowledge and experience on seasonal patterns, etc.. However, you know and are well diversified with electronics including FFS as tools in your arsenal. Much RESPECT for that, best of Both Worlds. Happy Thanksgiving & Holidays to y’all. patterns, , You know the electronics, & FFS applications.
I think ffs is an absolute awesome tool to use and it works phenomenal …… and it has its time and place to be used but when it comes to competitive game fishing I think it needs to be done the traditional way to having a even playing field … if you know how to catch fish you know how to catch fish in the areas that you familiar with and when you ain’t familiar…… well go back to the traditional way of finding the fish it’s as simple as that!!! If MLF keeps this up they will have no top fishermen that go through the beauty of struggling sometimes!!!! That’s what makes it so exciting for me to snag a damn giaint ….!!!! I DID NOT KNOW IT WAS DAMN MONSTER RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!!! But that just my small opinion on a great tool!
If they want to compete they do but, it only came out in 2018 but, it was more like 2019. So these guy have been fishing without it, way longer than they have with it. You gotta be one of the guys who say “ If they didn’t have that dang livepoke they wouldn’t catch a thang.
Now i have noticed this an u havent brought it up is if u catch a big fish on something stump, dock or certain rock whatever normally once u catch that big one another big one will get on it an it becomes a big fish spot for some reason..
Allow me to sum this up for you. The best way to find fish is T.O.W. simplified, time on the water. That's what he's saying to you. No tricks, no gimics, just being there. Showing up is half the answer to finding fish.
Read Buck Perry's materials. He's the true pioneer of structure fishing. Keys to identifying structure most likely to be productive, identifying breaklines/breaks on structure, etc.
I hate to say this but I have to. After livescope although certain structures do hold fish it’s now apparent there are a lot fish that don’t hold on those obvious structures like we thought. Lots of fish holding on things we never would have imagined.
That is true. Unfortunately, pro angling has destroyed fishing for us regular people unless you have a lot of money. Too much cost for these little POS plastic lures that cost 3 cents to manufacture. I find myself using live bait more and more.
I've honestly never thought of why everything has gone up. It has across the board, not sure it's because of professional bass fishing. Not saying it isn't but it's kinda hard to put it on one exact thing. I use to buy gas for 87 cents in college and get a large pizza for under 10 bucks as well. Everything has gone up.
@@toddcastledinefishing5924Todd says in a previous video people ask for my weight points on raburn and says u can have them there no good. Now Todd says I caught multiple 10 pounders on (1) Weigh Point come on man we ain't randy blanket viewers anybody would take those weigh points and u know it
Until you spend months on the water and realize Livescope does not catch fish you won’t understand. Don’t badmouth something you apparently don’t know anything about.

Your videos are amazing. You explain it better than most,no joke. Keep it up great content.
Before I forget
Thank you for all that you have given us this year.
My best to you and your family this holiday 🎉

Same here friend
Same here but no depth/fish finder

Using technology to catch fish? Something fishy about this.
@@robertcarpenter7486 Ha. But people have been using some sort of technology to catch fish since they started catching fish
Nice having spot lock keep u on the juice without really having to think about it. Younger generations will take this for granted
Todd always presents great advice. Thanks.
Great video as always keepem coming brother!!!
Very true, great video. Best fish I have ever found is by fishing around and using my eyes.
This is one of your best videos, Todd 👍🏾

Ill be out on Lake Aberdeen this weekend watching those barges go by. Lol

Well said..... Facts.. 👍
You can't bottle it or sell it at the store.
TIME ON THE WATER...
Great video Todd thank you sir 👍🏻
Some great info Todd. Thank you
Leaving fish to find fish? YES! If you don't, you don't learn!
Good info as always. Thanks.
Good vid. Well thought out.
Happy thanksgiving buddy
#1 favorite, Mr. Todd.
Great vid- Thx
Loved it!!

Good stuff !
Did you design the gravel dog and what about it makes it a better crank bait that what’s out there ? I just noticed that you had a buddy on the boat b4 you started throwing the gravel dog and then you didn’t .
Two different days on the water obviously but he said it like it was the same day… lol but he really is selling baits with these videos…
It wasn’t about the same day I wasn’t trying to say that. I was talking in general about how fish are found.
Yeah it just seemed like the same day it’s all good .
@@toddcastledinefishing5924 I agree, and this video is so common sense when "finding" fish. People make it harder than it is.. Just go fish
Great content, Todd. Lord, the trolls! How do people have time?

It's always the right place at th right time 😅
I’m interested in how many hits you get on fish tips if you don’t mind letting us know.
Good video!

True!!!!!!
Step A- buy a $5,000 sonar. Step B-drop a lure, that's how all the pros do it now.
😆
Do you really find this rewarding?
It’s true

What about Johnny Shultz with Fish The Moment. He was successful.
Please, more information on this "gravel dog?"
I'm so MAD!!! I can't believe I've been missing out on this bait.

The All New GRAVEL DAWG!!!!! Check out how it got designed.

Bottom Line!
You got fish guts, then you’ll find fish. No fish guts, you find nothing!
Translation: Fish Guts meaning intuition.
Get on the water folks can't catch em from the couch lol
Where can I get those gravel dogs in that color .
Just Google gravel dog lure.
They where running from your buddy on the Points with live scope you going to run em somewhere else with yours

What about buying weigh points buddy
You must not have watched the whole video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’n
@@toddcastledinefishing5924 I watch half I will.

They were good 7 years ago havnt caught them on those spots since.
@@toddcastledinefishing5924got you Happy Thanksgiving buddy
Follow the birds
👍👍👍👍👍
Could’ve been the same 10lb’er.😂😂😂
Just started i hope the video says livescope all day. LOL
Local hammers get paid to pass information along
I will say, if I had the money, I’d have a FFS and live scope and a big ol bass boat too! 😂
I think FFS should be Banned and get back to the old school way
Thank you for posting your opinion.
can u imagine fishing in 20 years, the fish wont be able to hide
LMFAO 😅😂😂😂😂@@grahamjarman
Unfortunately I don’t see it going anywhere so might as well adapt
@grahamjarman You must be so good with your livescope, It's incredible!!!! Do you even fish anymore? Since it's so easy... seriously.. ?
Anyone using a LIVESCOPE is NOT a pro, just a cheat.
I don’t think anyone is a pro, however it does find fish. Can’t call them a cheat, cheaters break rules.
Until you spend months on the water and realize Livescope does not catch fish you won’t understand. Don’t badmouth something you apparently don’t know anything about.
@@katannanatpeople seem to think FFS puts fish in a trance or something. I find fish with FFS all the time and don’t catch a thing 😂
