How to rig up the best shiner rig ever for monster bass

- I show exactly the very best way to rig up for big time shiner fishing for really big bass! Hooks, line and rods and reels and all the super tricks involved! Over the last 50 years I've caught hundreds of monster bass on shiners and I also ran the largest shiner operation in the state of Florida back in 1984-1990 when Lake Okeechobee was at its very best, so I really know some great techniques!
I really love how Roland takes the time to explain everything out.
Thank you Sir , awesome , #7 wire , fly line dressing, diy weed guard, awesome tips, the balloons, you have to have Richard Gene , the fishing machine, Woo . On your show. ❤️🎣🔥. GOAT
I remember watching an episode of your tv show like 25 years ago or more and you were shiner fishing with a balloon. I thought it was awesome . I still remember that today.
Thank you Sir! This series on shiners is just what i have been looking for! I live in Okeechobee and just recently started fishing the lake. After a terrible guided trip ($500 plus dollars for a boat total of 3 fish) i decided to take matters into my own hands and learn what i need to know to not get robbed by a guide again. i just watched the video on how to catch shiners, and this is an amazing compliment to that.
Had similar experiences with a couple different guides in north Florida. With one we only caught 4 fish all day, he had not been on the lake fishing but let us book him anyway. The other we caught fish, but the way he wanted us to set the hook on fish was totally different than anything I have ever been taught. The last trip the guide seemed to be more concerned using up the shiners and getting off the water ASAP. We paid for full 8 trips but never got an 8 hour day.
Mr. Martin, you are a class act. Thank you so much for what you do.
Happy Birthday,Roland hope you’re having a wonderful day!!
Hope to get to meet you in person some day! I have been a fan since the early 80’s
I remember reading a Bass Master magazine article about Roland and his wife, from back in the 80's, and they were catching monster bass with shiners and balloon rigs! It made a profound impression on a young angler!
Sitting in the garage listening to Roland teach this stuff is really pretty damn amazing!
I love shiner fishing...Peacocks here in south florida love them 🦚😎
Again Roland is an encyclopedia !!!! You could use his method not only for bass but for almost any fish 💯 Great video !!!!!
Thanks Roland!!! The tips will improve our Bass fishing, we usually just use small bluegills. The Grandkids have most of their PB's from a bobber rod!!! I can see only more fish being caught with your tips!!!!! Fond memories
I remember watching your show in the 2000s as a kid got me into fishing . Thank you for all the content
What I wouldn't do to fish a January morning with this man. Your awesome sir.
Roland, I am in Tennessee and would just love to treat you tyo a day of conversation and fishing on lake Chickamauga some time. Good conversation, my treat, shiner on the hook, huge bass running ....... it just can't get no better than that!
ROLAND, I have trouble watching one or two rods when I am shiner fishing, but SIX rods, you are the MAN.
Thanks Roland Coming to FLA Leesburg for FEBUARY Elite Tournament I am a MARSHALL AT HARRIS CHAIN Going to give shiner FISHING A try . Live in MD I believe you are from this area? Been following you for ever you are one of the best ambassador for this SPORT hands down . HOPE TO MEET YOU SOME DAY.
I remember watching you fish with shiners, back 35+ years ago... I thought what in the heck is he gonna use those ballons? You blew my mind when I think you caught a 12 or 14 Lb. largemouth bass.
I believe you were fishing the big O. Lake Okachobee.. God bless you and your loved ones
Thank you for all the years of teaching me and others how to catch big bass.
It's like Roland Martin is reading my mind! I was at Lake O on Saturday and told myself, I should have bought shiners for fun. Then I thought, "I wonder how the pros rig their shiners?" Fast forward to today and BAM 💥 a video. Thank you Roland Martin! Great How To Video 🙏🏼
Thanks for the great explanation! The detail is really helpful.
In saltwater fishing we'll use a a 2/0 octopus hook using live bait for snook and redfish. I've always kind of wondered why that hook hasn't transitioned to bass fishing. The smaller hooks really help the bait to swim better.
The only Snook I've ever caught was fishing for Bass in a brackish water canal in Cape Coral Fl with live shiners.
Thank you Roland. Been using small balloons for decades as you taught that on your original show. I have tried to make my own hooks before but they were not as well thought out as those you just covered. I truly look forward to the follow up on catching, keeping and hooking shiners in the way of your Big O Marina.
I still tell everyone I fish with that I use shiners hooked just under the dorsel fin because Roland Martin back in the 80s showed me how, never saw so many big fish in that classic show. It's still my go to early spring!
Happy Birthday, great shiner tutorial, and hope you and Johnny Morris had a lot of fun this weekend!
Thank you for sharing the way to make a good weedless hook Roland.
Growing up my Dad always made mine.
My favorite tackle was a weed less Silverspoon he made. Caught a lot of fish on that.
Stay happy, healthy, hydrated and safe.
May God continue to bless you and your family.
one of my favorite books that I've had for years "Advanced Shiner fishing Techniques" by Glen Hunter and Tim Tucker, 1989 - full of information especially from Roland Martin, Doug Hannon, and Dan and Betty Thurmond. Can't wait for more videos!
Love your siy and in the shop segments!
roland your awesome. always giving the best tips of the trade..
Such really great information for us all THANKS to you Roland we all appreciate you so much! I look forward to learning more about how to use and keep the shiners alive. Thank you for all you give us!
All great tips. Especially the ones about using heavy braid and casting shiners gently. I underhand pitch mine and use Saltwater spinning rods to get longer distance with less resistance. Flipping sticks with 6500 Ambassadeurs work great too.
Roland, thank you.
I remember watching you fishing shiners with balloons on Okachobee in the 80’s. Good ole days won’t it? My buddy caught a 7 lber here in Virginia using big shiners on a cane pole after watching you.
Really enjoy your videos. Thanks so much for sharing them
Roland, I swear your hands are made of Kevlar playing with them Gamakatsu hooks! 😂 Great info- thanks for sharing your knowledge! 🤠👍
Realest pro angler idc what anyone says. He gives advice that and tips that gain him zero dollars. My favorite angler next to iaconelli
The GOAT!! Happy birthday, sir!
Happy birthday Roland, thanx for sharing this info i love your videos
Happy Birthday Roland.
Happy birthday Roland 👍
Thanks Roland great stuff , please follow up with the shiners when you can.
When I was a teen ,i would go to this lake in nu joisey where I grew up and catch baby Sunny's with a minnow trap and med. To Lg hook em thru the tail to catch monster bass!!
Happy birthday 🎂🎁🎈🎉🎊
Good info. Thank’s
Hey Roland, did a man by the name of Steve Whitaker fix that reel up for you, he’s my grandpa and he’s told me stories about how he fixed up ambassador reels for the legend Roland Martin, I’m really curious
I just lost my favorite fishing rod n reel few days ago. Fish just jerked it right outta my boat I didn't have the drag set. I'm trying that setup in the morning w shiner's.
Ok Mr. Martin. I am confused. I just watched a show of yours on catching monsters on shiners and I could've sworn you said dead shiners work just as well as like ones. LOL.
Please continue with the shiner info
Very informative Roland. I love fishing, but it is the fight of getting the fish in that makes my day, even releasing a 7lb bass. For an armature semi getting food for the table, what do you suggest? I've released 7lb bass...awesome feeling btw! I love fishing with light weight tackle, sometimes even 6lb test mono with 10" worms on a ultra light of 5 feet. What can I do to increase the fun factor? I do not mind losing to the BASS! He wins that day...maybe next time.
Roland, my question is: why hasn't Okeechobee come back to being close to the same bass fishery that it was in the 80's. I can understand that people likely kept a lot of big fish during that time and negatively affected the size structure in the lake. But what has prevented it from returning to the kind of trophy fishery that it once was? When I think about bass fishing in Florida and the propensity of most bass fisherman today to let larger fish go and the tendency to get a replica mount over a real mount, I wonder why these type of fisheries don't have more giant bass than they actually do. Are people really keeping that many large fish today? Is it the sheer amount of fishing pressure? Or does a lake like Okeechobee that has that many giant fish removed never really recover in size structure for decades to come?
There's probably 10 times as many alligators now versus then and they eat a lot of fish
Yo Roland great info! is it your bday? happy bday to the king! mine is tuesday, i made the bday wish come true, i am headed to headwaters for a guided trip on thursday. will be there also on wed and fri. have 2 questions for you. no 1 is lure selection i am thinking 1 swimbait/fluke, to cover area quickly. 2, texas riged worm large size, just because, 3 topwater like ploppers and i got a devils horse, 4 would be a whacky rigged senko. what do you think? would you rank them diff? or drop and add something?
Thanks
Hmm richard gene just did that not to long ago, now you doing this... Copy cat😅😅😅.. we still love you Mr roland
If you want the line to float just get some floating braid or some fly line
Hey Roland
Is his tv show still on?
How much is a dozen of wild shiners now?
second question is i will bring my kayak for wed and fri fishing trip. i have studied the sat maps and have 3 choices. 1 put in at ramp at keenansville and round the corner and fish there, 2 put in at garcia ramp and fish the area once i hit the main lake, 3 put in at ramp at 3 forks/felsmere grade rec area and either fish the north side of headwaters or go the other way and fish the northeast corner of stick marsh, i am limited on about a mile of distance from launch cause of the yak. any thoughts? anyone else as well have thoughts? thanks in advance
What's up Roland
Couldn't see how you twisted the wire on the hook very well, couldn't see through your hand
bowls ? you turn?
Roland and RGTFM release the same random shiner balloon video the same day. RGTFM uses shiners and live all the time, Roland throws senkos. The big guy appears to have stolen the idea from the little guy.
Hi 🙋♂️
I can’t catch any bass anymore for some reason so I’m giving away my rods and reels so does anyone want them?
