    Great job Nat. Your videos, to me at least, are very much like NDYakAngler's. Great presentation. NO BS music or other annoying distractions. You let us feel like we're there with you. Nothing more needs to be said!! Keep up the great work!

    Dude the fact that you showed you can fish a frog on spinning gear is one of the most satisfying and personally validating things I’ve seen in a UA-cam fishing video. Much respect.

    • @FishingwithNat
      @FishingwithNat  2 місяці тому

      You can absolutely fish frogs with spinning gear and have lots of success. I think it's a common misconception that you must use a baitcaster for certain baits.

    Great video! I learned a lot about frog fishing and that steady retrieve is actually a very viable option for them. I guess getting my first big frog strike when I was steady retrieving it with the intention of casting to another spot wasn't just pure luck. These longer style videos from you are also quite nice! Sometimes the best way to learn is watching how other anglers fish. Great stuff :)

    Could you do a video on the best ways to fish at different times of the day?

    • @FishingwithNat
      @FishingwithNat  Рік тому

      That's a broad topic because it depends on so many things (species, water clarity, lures...). For example, on the river near my house, the water is stained dark. Bass and panfish fishing is good in the morning and evening with topwater baits. They go deeper during the day and are better targeted with other baits. You can't really fish them at night at all because the water is so dark to begin with, the fish can't see much of anything. You can catch walleyes or catfish occasionally at night, but everything else pretty much shuts down. Even the walleyes and cats tend to bite better during the day.

    hey nat, so I only do bank fishing for the moment, but would you say kayak fishing is more efficient?

    • @FishingwithNat
      @FishingwithNat  4 місяці тому

      Yes. Bank fishing limits you to easy access points where you have enough room to cast. A kayak opens up a world of possibilities for a low cost.

      The fluoro leader will sink so it can get caught on plants/duckweed between twitches.

    Hey Nate, love your channel. I’m getting into fishing later in life and I appreciate your info!
    Do you think when using frog lures a fluorocarbon leader is necessary? I haven’t been using it on my 65 lb braid and have been getting no bites. Hoping that is the cause.
    Thanks man

    • @FishingwithNat
      @FishingwithNat  2 місяці тому +1

      If the vegetation is really thick, it probably doesn't matter if you have a leader. But if your frog is in open water, the fish might get a good look at your line and I think a leader can help.
      I'd also suggest downsizing your line to increase your casting distance. Sometimes frogs work best when they are far from the shore/boat.

    • @Rabidmink77
      @Rabidmink77 2 місяці тому +1

      Thanks man I appreciate it! My bait caster sends the lure pretty far so I’ll hang with the 65 for now (I just don’t wanna buy new braid lol) but I will try a fluorocarbon leader. I’m a shore fisher so anything helps!

      Those are the Fish Monkey gloves. I have a pair of those and a pair of Kastking gloves. The Kastking gloves have a shorter wrist and are thinner, so they are cooler in the summer. The Fish Monkey gloves feel very solid like they will last for a long time and through many washes. I wear gloves all the time when fishing out in the sun and both work well for sun protection.
