    That’s a good one Richard… You gave me some new ideas for sure… That’s the reason why I love this channel. You teach people you don’t need 40 thousand dollars worth of fishing gear and expensive boats to go catch fish and have a good time.. I’m a firm believer that most of the gimmicks they try to sell folks are designed to catch them more than fish… Thanks for the advice and entertainment. It always brightens my day when I see you post a new video…

    Hey Richard, been subscribed for a number of years and stopped going fishing when I I had children. I just went back out fishing again for the first time in years last week and got bit and I'm back in it and taking my 4yo and 6yo with me.

  • @breakawaybooks4752
    @breakawaybooks4752 Před 3 měsíci +1

    There's an interesting phenomenon in all animal behavior, that when a stimulus elicits a known action pattern (in this case the feeding strike of a fish) the strength of said action is directly proportional to the strength of the input. In short, the exaggerated size of those artificial baits makes a lot of sense.

    When I was a kid I fished in a old stock pond that belong to my neighbor he had it stocked with bass and bluegill one spring day as I was easing my way around it I was working the bass beds all of a sudden I saw something that has stuck with me my entire life there was a large mouth bass facing off against a very large bluegill I'll always maintain that they couldn't decide which one had the rite of way just a guess but I'll say the bass was 5lbs or better the bluegill was at least a two pounder it was truly a WOW moment 😊

    They sail right onto that helga-ramite, some say it's from hunger, some say it's from spite. Helgramites are fun. We seined a few on the river years ago, and the dobsonflies crowded in around the campfire. Of all the insects people would be scared of, dobsonflies are a really good one. The big pincers remain in the adult form. I've only been bites by helgromites, though, and they give several quick and vicious pinches. Scarey but not worth being scared of. A giant rubber helgramite is shere briliance.

    I have a friend who catches them all the time. He wades into marshes with window screens and shakes the foliage and the helgramites fall off onto the screens
    He used to sell them to baitshops and make pretty good money. Now he just gets them for himself.

    I used walk a side of local lake here that you can only get to by long hike down a steep bank or boat and only electric motors or rowboats are alowed on this lake. No recreational stuff out side of the beach, I pulled bass and crappie off the nest all day. I caught my PB crappie on that steep bank 3 times before I could get a hold of that slimy fish. No net. I thought it was big largemouth until I pulled it out. That fish was 3.4 lbs. that is huge crappie. I let him go.

    Those Nikko helgramites are absolutely deadly. The backwoods ponds of Appalachia that I fish, shad is almost non-existent and bluegill make up the primary forage but still hammer them on shad patterned baits,I seriously think color schemes are for the angler of to be adjusted slightly in regards to water clarity.
