What camera system are you using to record your videos?
Great video Gene! thank you I'm going to Ned rig this weekend at Lake Skiatook! J have never caught a Small mouth bass, i'm excited.
Sad thing is people keep all they catch and have a hood cook, and a drunken fish fry, i buy catfish for cooking, people are so greedy now
Our bluegill spawn way earlier than this in Arkansas.
is this the same guy who was like 300 lbs
Thanks for the advice, I'm always willing to learn new things. GO DAWGS
I must have missed a few videos or something!! Wanted to watch this one…. first thing I thought…. dang, who's this fishing with Fluke????? Congrats Brother!! Been working on reducing my carbon imprint as well… just not as successfully as you!
Great video and thank you for your expertise in your insights and your experience and sharing it with us
Regards
Gene
Helps to live by a good bass lake 😂
Thanks man, your advice and tips are pretty helpful. I‘m watching you all the way from Austria. Thanks a lot
Just seen the video. Guntersville lake is my home lake. And that is MY pattern for these months. Your are right. It does work and is dependable. It's not uncommon for me to catch 17-24 pound bags, 5 fish limit a day, running this pattern. There are some good offshore fishing here. But those bass are not dependable. Everyone does it. But the shallow pattern with bluegill beds are dependable. Bass love blue gill and perch. Jean also i use a pop-r in clean water around those beds. IT does work. Even in the middle of the day i will pick it up first. Then change as needed from there. I like that electronics has improved so much for this very reason. Everyone uses it off shore. Therefor it keeps them off this pattern. Good video.
When your wife doesn’t want you to get a fishing boat so you ask her if a kayak is okay:
I sure appreciate you taking the time to make the video and the pointers along the way. I live in Huntsville, so I'm gonna take advantage of this. It's all about having fun!
Caught 10 yesterday in central Florida using shiners. I fish bottom and Bluegill spawn beds. 😊
Hey Gene. Its been a long time since I sat down and watched. You got me started on bass fishing ( watching every video), the Saturday Live-casts and all your video tournaments. Im not a Pro-guy but I fish like a pro … thanks to you. Just pulled up this recent video to see what boat and gear you are using.
Thanks for all the great info I got from you.
To all new-fishers watching …. you cant get a better teacher.
The odor of wads of Threadfin/Gizzard Shad, Bluegill on beds, and other groups (schools) of fish (White and Black Bass) differ from one another. Through the years, local anglers on T-Bend/Fork/Rayburn and other East TX reservoirs have often compared the odor of bedding Bluegill to fresh-cut Watermelon. Once you've "got the hang of it", (and the wind isn't howling) the odors of groups of fish can be picked up when the boat is on plane, or moving pretty quickly to different places. We'll jump from pocket to pocket and "check" them just with our sense of smell. Bedding Bass have a distinctive odor, and so on…. It allows us to quickly eliminate water.
For the ned rig trick, I’ve had a lot of luck with the same sort of rig, just with a ball head jig and creature bait/worm
i used to call you daddy on your live streams, and you didnt like me
Great info my guy! I was just talking about getting better at fishing bluegill beds.
Fantastic tips! I'm fairly new to bass fishing and I love these tips to catch bass when the water is warm.
All ya gotta do is have $10,000 worth of electronics on your boat 😂
i don’t have enough self control to not set the hook on every thing that touches my bait 😂
I catch most of my blue gill bed bass on a gamakatsu g finesse shakey head using an X-zone 6” deception worm.
These techniques your showing look like money .! I will be using this for Farthers day fishing trip.! Thank you for confirming my thoughts for bait choices.! I would take largemouths like that all day.! I always look forward to your releases.!
What about for us bank Anglers? 😢
Hope it was an F16
Have you ever tried a flashy swimmer weedless swimbait or a prop bait?
When you were showing the swim jigs the first one looked like a picasso lures…..the second was definitely the 6th sense swim jig
Great info, thank you!!! I have had great results using the Zman TRD in the coppertreuse color to mimic bluegills, recently I used the Crush City Ned BLT for the first time in the same color and it work great.
I liked how you snapped that net out. What is the name or model of it? Some great tips especially the smelling for em.
Great video! Those are some of my favorite ways to catch bass in the summer. I started using bluegill-colored swim jigs just a few years ago and they have quickly become one of my go to baits in warm, shallow water.
Telling stories & pulling up 4lbs + post spawn bass in a kayak is a skill set! ❤the channel
I'm sure all that tech helps a lot 🙄
Great video I’ll know exactly what to listen too when I go fishing thanks
Nice video, tuned me into these techniques, nice job
Good stuff Gene.
