Hi Ethan. I'm a happily retired U.P.S. guy (8 yrs.) and would often toss a travel rig in the back of the big brown truck for lunch break (when I got a lunch) explorations. I was a cover driver for the most part, so never quite knew where I'd be on any given day :) Best of the season to you and yours. Cheers!
I do both! I hit the Subway drive thru and order a simple sandwich on a pita with no sauce and eat it on the way to the pond. (No sauce means no mess in the truck)
I love fishing on my lunch hour with the ultralight. (I usually eat lunch on the drive there ). I haven't tried the micro dropshot - I don't do a dropshot much because everywhere I fish has tons of weeds. But now that the weeds are gone...
Great video! I try to get out whenever I can. Just fishing somewhere, even if I don't catch anything, is relaxing and healing for me. This video and the comments I read below is why I started my channel. Your channel is one of a few that inspired me to want to share fishing moments with others who can't get out themselves but could access CZcams! Once again, great content and thank you for sharing!
Light is right for the cold water,I like using a 3 in bps stiko with either a number 4 octopus hook for open bottom or a number 1ewg hook if I'm fishing around cover
Nice - sounds like a good setup! For bass, I love running a Texas rigged drop shot when I fish around brush. In this case, a little size 8 mosquito hook works wonderful for ultralight.
I have a 4 year old and 3 month old and the only time I get to fish is the 15-20mins I have after I drop my 4 year old at preschool and before I have to go into work. Usually don’t catch much but I catch maybe one bass a week. Just as long as I can get out one time a week, I am happy. Even if it’s for 20mins lol.
Super informative and great to watch. I like that you always have links for whatever you use! It makes it super easy and convenient to find exactly the spot to get it from!
Ethan: I discovered ultra light over 30 years ago now. I started with a really cheep outfit to try to catch some blue gill and crappie because the bass fishing was soooo slooow. I've been upgrading rods and reels over the years ever since. Just retired in July and the pond I fish the most is horrible! Using ultra light makes it bearable. Thanks for sharing. Have a great Christmas! Blessings!
@FishAnything Went out fri/sat and caught my personal best crappies on a 1/80th oz mule jig with a chartreuse donkey tail jr. I also caught tons of 6-8 inch crappie, some big bluegills, warmouths and dink bass. I've been wanting to transition from live bait to jigs and artificials and your videos and products have definitely made it alot easier. So much so, that I didn't use 1 wax worm on both trips. Thanks for all you do my friend. You opened up my mind to the fun of ultralight fishing.
I hope I can get out and make a few more throughout the cold season. Honestly, with a young'n in daycare, I have been sick way too much haha No matter what, tons more videos to come. Just takes time :)
Been sacrificing my lunch break 2-3 times a week since October to make it to the water! Usually with a Mule Jig or a micro Drop shot! It's the only time I can get the line wet these days.
I work in Washington DC at the US Capitol, and I go over to the Tidal Basin to fish every chance I can. Dirty city water but monster large and smallmouth bass among many other species.
HERE, HERE! I also fish on my lunch break. The move is to pack a sandwich to go, or get some of those gas station taquitos or chicken rollers and eat while you drive to your spot. You know you're a fishing degenerate when you keep a Dock runner and a poncho in your trunk at all times.
@@FishAnything A guy has gotta do what a guy has gotta do when his water access is limited. Keep up the good work. You are one of the best caretakers of ultralight fishing on the internet. Your channel is an invaluable resource to primarily self taught novice fishermen such as myself. Thank you.
I'm going to have to try that micro drop shot that looks like it'd be a good crappy set up. Love catching them yellow perch though probably one of the prettiest fish there is.
Heck yeah man! I have never put it to use on Crappie but I imagine it could be really effective if they are sitting near the bottom. Or if you could vertically jig them with it, that could be excellent.
There's a rod that might be cool to do a video take on. Kastking zephyr sfs. You can't get it from kastking directly in the states. But they have allowed Bait finesse empire to sell them. They look and sound cool. Your take would be good being a ultra light specialist.
Great video Ethan. I've got to add that drop shot rig to the ultralight arsenal. I use jigs, float and jigs, ice jigs in open water, tiny crankbaits but haven't tried this. Blessings brother to you and your family for Christmas 🎄.
Dude you and me both. I am currently on the up & up from a weird virus that had me down and out... Gotta love having a young one in daycare lol I feel like I am sick half the time nowadays.
@@FishAnything i hear that. My babes are 3rd grade and first grade. If its not one its both constantly constantly getting sniffles or a cough. Im usually chugging vitamin c and everything else i can to prevent this 😂.
Those rods are listed as extra light, is that just Dobyns way of saying ultra light? I really want one of them because I have a Dobyns fury 661 lite that I absolutely love as a multi purpose rod.
Yeah I consider it an ultralight. It is definitely a really fast rod (because it has a solid tip) but it still bends over on the right type of fish. I love this rod.
the spinning rod and reel combo that you're using, most definitely looks totally rad. It's a good one that's for sure. Just bought 7 packs of Uncle Buck's hellgrammite panfish creatures, they are black with red and green flakes. even though they're for panfish, I do catch quite a few different types of species with them. Trout, large mouth and smallmouth, crappies, perch and who knows what else. Great video and great fish catching like always.
Enjoy watching your videos here in Minnesota but sadly all of our 10,000 lakes are frozen. Ha! I get so confused watching you reel with your right hand though, I don't know how people do that.... Spinning Reel I work the pole with my right & reel with my left. Baitcaster the same thing. 🎣
I have before. Not a huge fan of BFS for the type of fishing I typically do. It is good for some things but I tend to prefer fishing open water micro jigs which is more effective on spinning outfits.
Definitely going to try this setup and the Mule products. Which of the attractant scents do you find most effective on stocked trout in lakes and ponds?
@Fish Anything I must say Ethan buddy 2022 has been a stellar year for me; for family, for fishing, for a full year at the position I took in August of 2021, no complaints! One of the few regrets about 2022 is I didn't get to travel back to Michigan, and therefore we've yet to fish together. Hopefully, we can check that box off in 2023!🎣
As you know, I use my lunch break to fish quite often and boy I gotta say the fishin has been tough. Even for creek chubs, its been slow. Should habe first ice by the end of the week with the daytime temps in the high 20s.
Yeah man ice fishing will be here very soon. The bite is tough on most waters. This little lake is a bit of a cheat code. I need to find more like this.
Hi Ethan , i think the link czcams.com/video/ZH34L1ZCmMY/video.html shows what I was referring to. Since it was intended for striper fishing you would need to scale it down but I feel that it would just fine in lakes and rivers .So have a look and let me know what you think.
What a beauty those perch were! Also, I've been using the scent a lot lately now that the water is cold and it's made a difference in my hook up ratio. When the water gets too cold the fish around here just want to nibble and don't stay on for long, with the scent they seem to stay on just long enough to set the hook. Today I dipped the boot tail of a karma colored Donkey Tail Jr in some Dip-N-Glo chartreuse and got into some slab bluegills!
Nice! Yeah I am definitely a believer in scent, but mostly when the water is sub-50. Anything above that seems like it doesn't really matter much. No matter what though, I don't think it can ever hurt. And the Pro Cure is cheap enough to where it is worthwhile to have a bottle of. It lasts forever.
@@FishAnything ok, Ethan, I have to come clean man. I tried your float fishing with gulp minnows for trout idea and I was the ONLY PERSON all day to catch fish. It was awesome. Thank you so much for the great trout fishing content and advice. You've permanently changed how I chase trout and helped make me a better angler.
I pretty much always use a 1/8oz. I think I would use lighter if I could find them easier... Maybe someone will come up with a solution for that one of these days ;)
Ethan, I need your advice please. I want to fish very thin line PE 0.2 (0.07mm diameter). I want to fish it on a fast action UL. I need a reel. I like Daiwa, but is anything that holds more line than a 1000S (shallow spool) going to be excessive? Will a straight stock 1000 be ok? Would 1000D be too much? Thanks in advance, homeboy!
The bulk of my reels are standard 1000 size. I only have one shallow spool. You will absolutely be okay with a standard 1000. Just put some mono backing on there to save you money on the fancier line you choose.
The Spro is the best braid I have used. It is honestly $30+ for a spool though, so it is pretty pricey. I like the J Braid almost as much, and for the price, it is hard to say no to. Both are my top favorites.
Haven't been able to fish last summer bad thing is I bought Victory Rod and a Mojo Bass rod and a lot of new tackle I got cancer got over it then my heart became weak had to slow down couldn't go fishing I had to take it easy couldn't use my Yac next summer that's going to change !!!!!!!!
Tried out some mule products this year with great success. You are the man! I'm a bank beater and would like to try a jerkbait out this winter/spring. I've always been too scared to snag lose them from the bank. Of all the jerkbaits you have used what would you say is your favorite for catching fish and minimizing snags from the bank? I value your opinion
Thank you Daniel! Really appreciate the support. Regarding jerkbaits, I would go for something on the less expensive side and I would avoid anything that dives too deep. The key to success with jerkbaits, though, is proper suspension. I would go for something you aren't scared to lose and then use suspendots or strips to ensure it suspends properly. I have enjoyed the Strike King KVD jerkbaits for about $10 and you can keep them up in the column if needed. Rapala makes a few that have really small lips too so they only dive a couple feet. Might be a good option.
@@FishAnything thank you for the reply. I was looking at the rapala jerkbaits. They have quite a few different models like husky jerk,x rap, rip stop and others.. Do u have a preference on the rapalas?
I can't say I have used them all but I would highly consider the Shadow Rap. Doesn't dive super deep but it has a nice action and seems to suspend pretty good. I think you'll like it from bank!
I usually take every lunch when it’s warm to go fishing. I’ve only got 45 minutes. It makes my day better every time
That is what I like to hear!

This was all the inspiration i needed to take my ultralight down to the yucky Susquehanna river and see what i can pull
Go get them!!

I have been using pro cure for years and yes it does increased more fish,
Especially in colder water! Seems to help them commit a bit more.
Yesss!!!! I was just thinking about doing this with a mule minnow!!!
It works quite well :)
Great job!
Thanks JP. Hope you are having a good week :)
@@FishAnything still struggling. The first holidays without my wife Pam 😥💔

Heck yeah they dont call em a honey hole for no reason haha
The rig also allows fish to approach the lure from almost any angle, more than the "normal" drop shot rig
What do you mean by that? I love this rig - definitely intrigued by this.

Great videos. Have you fished with the Shimano 500 reel. Is it much different than the 1000?
I have used both and I tend to prefer the 1000 due to the wider spool diameter! It helps with casting distance
Why did you get rid of the diawa tatula LT reel?
I didn't get rid of it. I swap reels on and off rods all the time. That reel is currently on another rod.
Do you like the spro better than the j-braid
The Spro is the best braid I have used. It is honestly $30+ for a spool though, so it is pretty pricey. I like the J Braid almost as much, and for the price, it is hard to say no to. Both are my top favorites.
