Great footage. I use lizzards all year long, especially around lay downs with 1/16 slip sinkers. I love em! Keep catching em on tight lines. I truly enjoy your videos!
9:58 I do this in the summer based on one of your older lizard videos. All black 8" lizard weightless in the summer is an absolute killer. I swim it extremely slow and let it fall to the bottom from time to time. They tend to crush it once it stops swimming, like they are following it. You can't swim it too fast or it will come to the surface.
It’d be awesome here on a c-rig for sure. I don’t think we ever had any quite that big but we used to throw 10” ones a ton. If we could have found bigger ones back then we would have. The bigger ones don’t sink the same, they kinda glide down and wobble. They draw big bites too.
That pretty much sums everything up about lizards except that sometimes 6 inch lizards are better than either one of those and definitely not pegged also the softer Berkeley lizards definitely catchum yum yum
I don't know why but I do really good on grape colored lizard in stained water and blue colored lizard in clear water. I use 1/4 oz sinker both times and 14lb test line. Been good for me for years.
Tried out some lizards today around the lily pads. Bite was tough. Had a couple good hits but they weren’t really holding on. They were however hitting a super fluke fished real slow on hydrilla edges, inhaling them pretty good. Water temp is dropping erratically depending how cold it was at night. It affects the bite here in FL. This season I’ll be fishing more lizards since people are not using them as much as other plastics.
Yum black neon chartreuse tail is my favorite but yum no longer makes it. But zoom 5 inch black neon with spike it tail Just as good. Also don’t discount the 4 inch it catches big fish no clue why but last year I caught 5 bass over 5 pounds in 20 minutes pitched to same cedar tree in a ditch off creek channel. No I don’t have livescope
Randy I watched your video from 2 years ago and you talked about different lines braided, mono and fluorocarbon you like to use mono on square bill crank baits what size do you use? Love Your videos, Happy Fishing Thanks
Realistically, lizards, being terrestrial reptiles, do not swim under water to attack fish's beds to eat eggs. The only creatures that resemble a lizard that are known to eat fish eggs are salamanders, which are amphibians. Their predation on bass beds are miniscule compared to fish like bluegills or gobies, which are common predators of eggs and fry. To me, a lizard is just a plastic worm with legs. Keep in mind that fishing lures are designed foremost to catch fishermen.
Thx for the lizard video Randy. I'm curious why you like the straight shank hook. Not saying it's right, but I've always used a big gap 4/0 offset hook for my lizards. And it's extremely rare for one to get away from me w that set up. What am I missing? Thx again
Lizards are my number 1 bait for springtime Bass. I also use them for Smallmouth. I have caught 2 6lb Smallmouth on Green Pumpkin lizards!! my picture is 1 of them. they are an amazing lure choice that bass simply don't ignore. Use randy's tips and Hang On!
i had a peacock bass destroy a new 5 inch lizard today fishing canals by my home, he kept punching below the hook and basically had it hanging by a piece of plastic before catching the hook and got the drag going and set the hook. im guessing i threw over a nest or this guy was super frustrated. great action on the lizards got mines in that green.
Love the yum lizard, always seemed to do better on that lizard. Disappointed YUM keeps discontinuing everything, still upset that stopped making the big show paddle tail worm, best worm I ever used on a Shakey head,
When I was a kid I was on a boat dock and there were some bass right under my feet. I was just about to start working them with a red flake pumpkin lizard when a couple guys walked past and told me not to waste my time, those bass don't bite anything, they tried. About 3 casts later I lifted a bass out and they gave me such a stinkeye.
Rule #1: Always drain your lizard before you launch your boat.

Cant say how much these videos have helped my fishing. Helps me keep the wife and kids on the fish. Thank you.

Randall I’d sure buy a pair of your glasses but I’m savin up for one of your jigs!
California 420 and Black with blue tail are my favorite zoom lizard colors. Great tips!
Tackle Warehouse has a 14" lizard! I'm considering it, to add to my lure collection

Awesome lizard tips Randy , we’ll DEFINITELY use it more this spring
Thanks for the info, I'm a lizard fishing fanatic, I tell my buddies bout them but they keep throwing creatures, they don't know what they're missing

Thanks for the lizard tips. Thats a bait I need to get more confidence in using. I have a bunch of them but I never seem to tie one on.
That pretty much sums everything up about lizards except that sometimes 6 inch lizards are better than either one of those and definitely not pegged also the softer Berkeley lizards definitely catchum yum yum

Here in the grass , I use the 1/8 and 1/16 and later when the grass gets thick weightless , loved the video
I love lizards ! Black or gr. pumpkin seems to work the best. Thanks for the confirmation Randy !

I’m going to try them on the Ozark Rig and maybe neko rigging them this year in clear water.
Thx for mag liz tips I used it in April and by best day in yrs I loved the 6 inch version for ever you got me hooked on the Mag catches bigs
Good video randy. I caught plenty on the green pumpkin and the moccasin blue. Plan on trying the black this year.

last spring i caught an 11" blue gill on a 5" pumpkin lizard dropping it into weed holes ! shocked the heck out of me.
Thank you for the information about swimmimg the lizard. Do you fish a pearl crank bait? If so, when?
Sometimes I go with a 1/16 weight and work it across the top like a swim bait or even top water .
Yum black neon chartreuse tail is my favorite but yum no longer makes it. But zoom 5 inch black neon with spike it tail
Just as good. Also don’t discount the 4 inch it catches big fish no clue why but last year I caught 5 bass over 5 pounds in 20 minutes pitched to same cedar tree in a ditch off creek channel. No I don’t have livescope
🤠😎 Loving the hat and cool shades
Little bobber stoppers work well for pegging sinkers
Randy does that company make sunglasses that fit over prescription glasses?
Randy I watched your video from 2 years ago and you talked about different lines braided, mono and fluorocarbon you like to use mono on square bill crank baits what size do you use? Love Your videos, Happy Fishing Thanks
Rumor has it that lizards eat eggs and ling, but the lizard works during this time very well

The only creatures that resemble a lizard that are known to eat fish eggs are salamanders, which are amphibians.

I think theres something to the amphibian theory. It might be a "genetic response"

Why a straight shank hook over an EWG? And what size hook are you using?
Do you ever do any creek fishing videos or videos fishing smaller rivers?

I thought you were gonna say "put it on a shakeyhead"
I wish zoom still made the lizard in mossy pumpkin in 4 or 5 inch
Some reason I thought u bit the head off the lizard n made the slip sinker look like the head
Great video
Ok
Prespawn , Spawn , Post spawn = lizard time
Salamanders spawn in the spring and are more likely to be found in the water then.
Put it in a free rig
