    Been watching your vids for awhile now, and I think I have figured out why I like yours over all the others on CZcams. You don't take yourself too serious. When something doesn't go exactly right, you make light of it with some self-deprecating humor and drive on. Don't ever change that, Gene. Oh, and the information is pretty useful too. :)

    In full summer I've got two bank fishing rods and setups. Frogging with my 7 ft, medium heavy, braided line, and my weightless Senko deadsticking rod, 7 ft 3in, fast action with about 12 lb mono/flouro. If they're not hitting on top, I try to catch them with a slower presentation. Just cast lift and drop, they usually hit on the fall. If you catch weeds just pop it like a jerkbait.

    You're alright in my book. 100%. When it's hot as HELL time to get gone to fish another day. Don't need you to catch fish in front of me, I need you to show me set ups, spots to fish and techniques on how to get clear of heavy cover while actively looking to fish it. I fish in what is raw woods surrounding a lake. You can see obstructions, lily pads, grass, lay-downs. My friend caught a solid 1.5 lb fish and there's bigger stuff in there. YOU'RE THE FIRST youtuber I've found that hiked into the dang woods and fished with trees and stuff challenging your cast. THANK YOU for these awesome tips. I'm glad I found this video because I'm fishing right now (August/dog-days-of-summer) in the northeast on a good size lake that isn't experiencing heavy fishing pressure. Time to go looking for part 2 of this video!

    Spinner baits I always use top water. Use different cadences slow, medium then fast. Then change up cadence so it seems realistic moving creature or bait fish using different cadences. If you pause no more the 2 to 3 seconds tops so Spinner bait don't sink too much.

  • @thelighthousefjcproduction5597

    Topwater plug like a baby torpedo around grass will help you locate them. If they don’t commit to da bite then you know what to do throw da worm. Yeah!

    Gene is there a difference between underwater grass and weeds? A local pond I fish in has a big area that is covered in thick weeds that go from about 2 foot below the surface to an average debth of about 4 feet, to the bottom of the lake. I do fish the edge with a pretty good amount of success,

    @MattShepherdFishin Před 4 lety

    What if it's a shallow lake, with a hard or sandy bottom? One end it's only inches deep, and there's a shallow creek (approximately 6-8 inches deep) that feeds into it, at the other end it's 20ft deep with a spillway. Lots of overhanging cover along the edges, with a few trees that's fell over into the water. What are you gonna throw?

  • @kcbennie
    @kcbennie Před 4 lety

    Ponds are like that! Don't always get 'em! Do you think throwing to the middle and bringing your bait back to the shore is less effective than throwing to the bank from a boat and retrieving back to the middle?

    • @JohnVC
      @JohnVC Před 4 lety

      I would prefer kayak fishing pulling the bait from the bank into the lake/pond, as opposed to dragging from open water towards the bank. Frogs jump off of brush close to the bank, they don't just plop down in the middle of a lake and swim for the shore, so the presentation is more natural. That being said I have had gotten bites in open water with no structures. It depends on a lot like how deep the water is, how pressured the fish are, time of day, water clarity etc. But matching the hatch and throwing the most natural presentation is always best whether you're pulling the bait in or out.

  • @dananderson7334
    @dananderson7334 Před 4 lety

    I hear a lot about search baits. To me the name implies that they are not used to continue fishing once fish are located. Am I wrong? PS Thank you for this bank fishing tutorial. I recently gave up my fish n ski Nitro for a tri toon for mama and the grandkids.

    Is the Carolina rig a good one for this type of lake?

    • @JohnVC
      @JohnVC Před 4 lety

      I think if it's milfoil it's good if you have enough of a leader. But if it's matted grass it might not be the best, your Carolina will never drag the bottom. A Carolina is probably okay if you're not punching grass or fishing topwater. If it's matted you're going to pick up a ton of weeds.
