Wacky rig senko is my go to in April. Thank you all for consistently putting out great content!
Good stuff! Appreciate the feedback and input.
Me and Miles seem to have the most in common with fishing style and techniques. I enjoy his input
Good deal!
Good stuff!! Looking to be watching going forward.
Great! Thanks!
Great info. Thanks for sharing 🎣 👍
Thanks for watching Rod!
Great video guys!
Thanks! Appreciate the feedback
A green pumpkin lizard and a wacky rig are hard to beat this time of year from personal experience.
Yes sir! Lizard is the quiet sleeper for sure
The old lizard 🦎 is a bass slayer for sure this time of year. He’s coming coming for them fish eggs
Nice video!.Im from Monterrey Mexico,thanks for your advices is a great channel
Thanks David! Awesome how this platform lets us branch out to people across the country. I have been told of some really good fishing down in Mexico! - Jimi
A bunch of great tips!
Thanks Ryan!
Hey BD staff thank you for the video I just started it but I know it's going to be a good one
Yes sir!
Great video Miles. I happened a pond this by pure chance. The last time I saw you was on Oroville when you put on a tournament for your high school project! I heard you were in Fla. , but now in Tenn.? Glad to see your doing so well and enjoying your dream.
Great info for April fishing. I've since moved to Bull Shoals lake area near Mt. Home, Ar. I'll have to start following you since you'll be giving good info on the areas I now fish. A few other of us retired guys have moved out here and we keep in touch with each other. I'll let them know about you and your channel.
Best of luck to you and here's to not needing any of it!
Sorry for the late response but appreciate the comment. Check out his channel if you have not. We hope to have miles back on the BFD channel soon
Really good tips most of these I already throw. So far this year in my neighborhood lake about 40 acres I've been catching fish on Zoom Trick Worms yellow and bubble gum color. I also throw Zoom Super Flukes, jigs, rattletraps, torpedo's catch a good many fish on willow leaf spinner baits. I've been catching bass since I was 5 I'm 41 now learned how to use a baitcaster at 7. I've never owned a rod over 6 and a half feet. It seems like 7 foot plus is the new standard. I think when i do pick up a new rod it will be in the 7ft range for mainly jig fishing as its my all time favorite lure.
Good stuff! Thanks for sharing. You will like a 7ft rod…
Love this Chanel!!!
Thanks!!
Great video Guys!!!
Thanks Anthony!!!!
I never skip Randy. In S.W. Pa, we're a good 3 weeks behind you guys, but wacky is a sure bet.
Thanks Greg! Appreciate it. Good luck this spring!
Up here in 50 early April good tips..shallow think is really name of game if you want the big girls ..noticed most lakes the big ones will push back first so I been ripping lips half way back on coves and some already pushed back in 55/57 degree waters…been a great spring so far for ky around lakes..I wouldn’t forget a jig/chatterbait as well as the spinner bait but much agreed with most the baits there are tied on or some similar brand or type! Love top water when they get pushed back under 3 ft in my murky lake to pickwick I’ve nailed em on top
Water under 60 long as u got a strong warm trend and the bass are shallow as heck it’ll work!!
NIce! Sounds like you have been dialed in!
Central FL and I find beds in ultra clear lakes 8 to 12 feet deep in the wide open always on sand bottom mixed with eelgrass and hydrilla. I find the 1/4 oz screw lock jig heads and a 6 inch magic wand stands that worm up on the bed and they get agitated with fairly quickly
Nice! Sounds like fun
Great content!
Thanks Rick!!
Thanks guys. No cranks, lipless or chatterbaits oh my. Not all bass are in one phase of the spawn and must be kept honest. Shaky heads are a favorite of mine but a lipless often gets the biggest bites.
You are right, not all bass are in one phase! I prefer to fish for off the bank for the pre / post spawn bass this time of the year - Jimi
All good tips. I either use the same Baits or something similar to them. I thought one of the best tips out there was from Kyle when he talked about keeping track of different pieces of cover or structure when your water levels are down. They are great places to fish when the water comes up.
Kyle shared a great tip there! Typically where I live the fall to winter the lakes will be below normal pool. So I will mark rock, wood, and etc. knowing in the spring the lake will be up. Thanks for watching - Jimi
@@BassFishingDeclassified Same here except for in the Winter it's hard to see through the ice.
Yeah.... I luckily do not have to worry about that.
Good info 👍.
Thanks!!
Randy kinda had a carolina rig it's a great bait for April before they go to the bank and you can cover water quickly better have on the deck.👍👍👍👍👍
Yeah the C-Rig can be the silent killer for April!! - Jimi
Totally went a bought some of those water land shades with you discount code. Thank you for the $15 off homie. Well worth the sun for all the knowledge and good recommendations!
Appreciate it Boxman! Hope you enjoy! Good luck to you and thanks for watching the video - Jimi
So just a general update my glasses came in a day ahead of schedule and they came not only with my glasses and a really nice case but they also came with the flex, fish, silicone, sunglass retainer, and a really cool water land fishing optics, dry storage bag that I didn’t even know I was getting the glasses fit really comfortably and look freaking awesome. 10 out of 10 will continue to buy water land brand.
Awesome video
Thanks Chris!
Wacky Rig is my favorite for bigger bass, Shaky heads for numbers of bass in the boat.
Nice!!!
people always sleep on the wacky but I have won big fish in tournaments multiple times from it.
Great video.
Thanks Tim!
Big fan of the weightless fluke. I've recently gotten a few huge bites on the mag fluke as well.
The fluke is a great all around catching machine!
I am a huge fan of fishing a weightless caffeine shad. Great bait for skipping deep back under brush and right into structure and cover. And I guess next to Miles, Randy, and especially Matt, is 5'11" considered "short" lol!
Great trick! I do the exact same thing with a wacky rig. Has caught my pb 3 times in my life!
Yes! I did not realize how tall Randy was until when I fished with him this last August! - Jimi
All awesome tip's but Miles nailed it! I can take only two rods out right now rigged one wacky senko and T rigged senko and have a great day with just that bait! No matter how much I been out, your vids get me pumped to get right back out there LoL p
Good stuff! The wacky rig stickbait was the only thing I could get bit on yesterday. - Jimi
@@BassFishingDeclassified same here Jimi but glad I got bit! Good luck out there and stay safe!
Yep, so many times my best luck is on a senko and a 4/o hook. I can't count how many times I've thrown all kinds of lures and can't get bit. Then I tie on Tex rigged senko and cast it in the same area and catch them
@@DFWdarin yeah there's just something about it that always draws a bite when nothing else will and even draws big bites almost as much as a jig for me! Good luck out there and stay safe!
Have you try a pompadour lure?;is also a great option for surface fishing
Those are great surface baits! I believe Matt has talked about these style in baits in videos on his channel before. You do not hear a lot about them but when you do ...they are always positive - Jimi
I still have muddy cold water . For me spawning fish will come mid to late April. Still throwing a red flat side. Why is nobody talking about the full moon in April.
I made a video before where I talked about the moon phase and people came at me 🤣. So I will keep that to myself - Jimi.
What water temps are we talking about for a wacky rig worm?
I will ask the guys to get their opinions but for me … high 50s to 70s. - Jimi.
I like the name sling shot better than wacky rig, thr sling shot worms had a zero designating the center and you could catch several fish before changing plastics. Any nawsayers can google sling shot worms and see for yourself. Oh yeah deadsticking, well tjat is really called "doodlesocking"
Always good to have code names!
Hello Donald how are you doing 😊
Wacky rigs are great. I like to throw spinnerbaits also.
Yes sir!
I don’t have a boat.. can I catch bass at falls lake NC without a boat?
Yes you can. When searching for areas to bank fish. Target areas that the bass would be using to spawn (flats/coves) or areas where they will set up for pre / post spawn (points / banks with cover)
I like most topwater double prop baits but it seems like the devil's horse is one of those things that when it was made it was the pinnacle and it just isn't making anything better. Of course I'm almost 50 and I've gathered so much confidence fishing at devil's horse over the years since I was in high school. Basically the same concept though I'm sure there's been probably remarkable improvements in the double prop and I'm probably just stuck in my ways. I saw Bobby Lane destroy it with the one that Matt's talking about
There has been some fish caught with it!
In high school I remember I met a fishing buddy and we were rigging up our lines one day and he said I'm going to go with the devil's horse. He said the devil's horse made the bass hit the topwater because it was so annoying to them. I wasn't sure if that was true but he sure did put a lot of confidence into the devil's horse which in turn so did I because I started catching a lot of fish on it too. Great video guys and thanks again for the content
I bet that is a big factor for sure! Makes them bass angry
Hey J Webb . How many subscribers do you have on CZcams?
Let's do - The "MUST HAVE" LOCATIONS for April Bass Fishing?
Backs of coves. Remember the best spawning spots are going to be on the north side of the pocket near deep water. Good luck!
Check out my recent video on areas to fish for the spring! - Jimi. Thanks for sharing the idea.
no idea why youtube recommended me this when fishing during spawning season is prohibited until mid may inorder to let fish repopulate as the bigger the fish the per 1,000% more eggs they lay with a 10 year old fish laying about the majority of eggs vs all other fish in the area combined at about 50,000 eggs
Sorry fishing is prohibited until mid May for you. Our videos are designed to give people the best tips no matter where they live in the country. You can use these tips in May when you can fish or just try to learn different techniques about fishing. Thanks for watching.
I know Texas is the best state in America for producing both quality size of bass and even numbers. They are allowed to fish 365 days of the year. - Jimi
I’m in nd it’s still frozen
That is crazy to me! I bet those fish are going to chew as soon as your lakes are thawed - Jimi
@@BassFishingDeclassified oh I can’t wait poles are ready!! We gettin close
How is this possible when the female is dropping her eggs and don't eat until she drops, and the male guards her eggs until they hatch after they fertilize them, and they don't eat, but the middle of June when all said and done then they're ready to eat. That's what I was explained. Predator lures are best for bank/bed bass fishing.... easy bait, with protein for males texas rig crawfish and such are king.
Throw it on anything. Yes sir. A lot of BS around you have to have this length and action / power of Rod to throw this bait. Not at all. I've been fishing for 34 years. (That's not my age) that's adjusted for starting when I did. You can throw anything on any road you want. I fish with a lot of guys who have to have a different rod for every kind of bait they throw. Not that i don't have more than one rod. when I'm the boat I have at least eight. Just goes to show you can throw any bait on any rod you want and you don't suffer for it
Yes sir! You can get a lot of fishing done with only eight rods! Thanks for sharing.
The popularity of bass fishing has really made it a little less fun this last year for me personally. With the advancing tech and surging popularity. Balancing that with a love of nature becomes conflicting. I’m getting into trout fishing more. I can take it as far away from people as possible whereas bass fishing is crowded boat ramps and tournament pressure. I would hope eventually they start stocking bass on lakes like they do trout. I’m taking April off bass cuz I just think one less fish ripped off a bed will serve me better long term
Thanks for sharing! Good points made
Yes it showed you catching a fish on the shaky head but you didn't show how you were working the bait.. It just showed the fish catch.. Next time show how you're working the bait so that we can understand, Those of us who have never used shaky heads. Thank you
I will take the blame for that. He did film himself casting it / fishing. I edited it to the fish catch. Thanks for sharing that you would like to see how he worked it. I will keep that part in next. Thanks for watching - Jimi.
Anybody else out there immediately skip Randy when he comes up?
There will be videos that will have longer view duration when he is near the end like this one. We know some people will skip to some anglers or skip over others. Part of it! Thanks for watching! - Jimi
No but I thought about it.
😂 sometimes, yeah his back and forth on EVERY topic is exhausting, (excluding livescope and "meat eaters"). Decent info at times but far outweighed but the constant contradictions and click bait. I'm glad he tones that crap down on declassified. It's a shame too, I enjoyed Randy's channel up when he fired it up, had nice old school info
LOL
No. Never
if you ar not using quality polarized lenses, you are fishing blind.
Hello how are you doing 😊
I choose Option E - ALL OF THE ABOVE !!
Great video guys!
Thanks James! Good luck this weekend! - Jimi
@@BassFishingDeclassified thanks! Going in blind! 🤘
