Getting back into fishing for the first time in about 10 years. Your videos have been an invaluable resource to me! Thank you!! I hope you're able to keep making videos well into the future!
Flip master, you are the man! Your videos are super duper fantastic! I've been fishing for over 25 years and thought I knew every trick in the book to catch bass, but I learned something from every single one of your videos! You should have a TV show no doubt about it!!
You drop the most relatable content. We don't all have boats. Thank you
Great tip for figuring out what is happening underwater and catch fish at the same time
Thanks for this!
I know you could be fishing instead of offering tips. I always learn a ton. I been looking for a good rig for bank fishing since i dont have a boat. You nailed it for me. Thank you for all these good tips
Of all the CZcams fishermen out there Gene is hands down the best. Your videos have gotten me so many fish. That heat shrink trick on the whacky worm is insane. The way you teach to do a texas rig is better than everyone else does it
I love the look back after you casted in the intro😂😂I was like ahhh now I gotta stay to the end
Great video, thanks! I think some people don’t seem to understand that as you’re using the C-rig to map out the bottom of a pond you can also catch a lot of fish while you’re doing it. One of the biggest fish I’ve ever hooked was on a C-rig, 2nd cast of the day. Unfortunately he got off after a few jumps showed me just how big that thing was!
I bought a Deeper chirp for bank and dock fishing. Works great no guessing. Learn much from all your videos.
Best advice! Caught some fish today targeting grass and rocks and ledges found with crig and caught one on crig aswell.
Always great info and as much as I hate the ball'n chain it does help find the lay of the lake or pond. Good stuff.
Gene i have been watching your videos for a while now to learn and to learn to teach. Reeled in my first big un the other day thanks to you and i was commended on my angler knowledge by a retired pro fisherman thanks to you. Thanks man
Good lord! A retired pro fisherman?!? Man what a lovely life he must be living and has lived! What a wealth of knowledge that guy must have. Good fishing to you buddy!
Up here in Canada I used to carry around what I called a "scout rod" - a 7'0, medium action with a spinning reel, old 30 lb braid and a scuffed up gold cordell super spot with the hooks taken off. I'd chuck that sucker out and drag it super slow across the bottom to feel what was down there. The awful racket and mess that sucker would make usually drew smallmouth from quite a distance to the area. If I ever got a bite I'd simply reel the bait back in and cast out a finesse throwback rigged on my main rod - shaky head, tube, or weightless fluke - to capitalize on the action. If I hit a stump or laydown, a squarebill or weedless swimbait usually did the trick. Don't remember what happened to that rod, but I think I gave it away to a friend so he could start fishing. This sounds like a better option. Thanks Gene!
I use a Carolina rig for this too. It is a lot easier to figure out what's what. Great video and channel. I watch your videos and want to fishing again. I go every day already.
You saying a sock or a towel really helped me to identify and describe coming through grass. Thankyou
This is hands down the very best, most informative fishing video I have ever watched!!! Thank you sir and keep up the great work!
Another awesome video! Thank you so much! Love the shirt too
Helped me out so much can't wait to go out and try today.
Thanks for the great content, you have helped me get on some good fish.
Thanks for all the great work!
man !!! what a great video will have to give that a try thanks for sharing.
Extremely helpful as always thank you
I have watched a lot of fishing videos. But you are the easiest to follow. Thank you.
Thanks James.
You are one of my favorite go to guys on youtube! It's a hard choice between you and Lakeforkguy gotta be honest! :D
Great tips and video very helpful thank you
I've never fished a Carolina rig. I have the gear in my tackle box. I'll have to give it a try.
Been watching you for years! You inspired me to make my own fishing videos!
Dude, post more. Ur content looks 🔥
@@nevergonnagiveuup3744 thanks man haha! Stay tuned, some epic salmon content coming!
Just subscribed
Excellent video, learned much.
Thank you for the tips sir I’ll definitely subscribe 👍.
I’m 33 years old and just got into bass fishing. Your videos have been so helpful. I’ve yet to use a Carolina rig but I’m gonna try it out. Greetings from West Georgia and GO DAWGS!!!
Awesome. I’m up in Rome
Flukemaster man I’m up there pretty much every day for work. Do a lot of work in Kingston too. Is there anyway I can email you? I’d love to fish some of these spots. I’m in the Carrollton and Villa Rica area.
Been watching your stuff for 6 years now
Is a bait caster better for this type fishing and reading the bottom the a spinner?
Thanks!
Your shirt is awesome. Have learned a ton from you and I should probably comment on that as well, but that shirt haha.
Excellent - thank you!
great info I will remember this
🎣Great video....thanks!
Thanks again for the video. Would definitely love detail on what you're using and maybe suggested variations. IE: "I'm prefer 1/2oz., but you could go 1/4 up to 3/4oz." Whether in the video or in a blurb in description. Description would probably be easier...... and I wouldn't have to watch, pause, rewind, watch, pause, rewind........ XD
Thanks very much Gene!!!
Great information
Another fantastic vid! Something I would like is for you to add what gear you are using (rod, reel, line, leader material, bait, hook, bait, etc.) on a per video basis in the description, and also provide links for each of them to TW. Would be super helpful!
Second this. I'm completely green to fishing so can't see a hook, for example, and know what size it is. He did say the weight size though, so that was good. He makes great videos. Just better for us clueless folks if we had details. And if there are ranges of specific pieces, mention those too.
Love your videos
Could the same be achieved without a leader? Like with a crimp weight a good foot or 2 up from your hook?
This also works for kayak fishermen they don’t have electronics yet. My grandpa even used to do this fishing tournaments way back in the day
Thank you from all the boatless fishermen
What are your favorite places to fish north east metro atlanta area? Not including lake Lanier.
Nice👍, great video.
Gene, can you get the same effect with the mojo rig?
Music doesn't fit but man I love your videos. Great content Sir👊🏾
Caught my pb at 13.4 on a weightless lite wire ewg think 0/4 watermelon red super fluke! And the one I'm holding is 9 pounds 3 oz. Blck/blue 6 inch wacky rig weight less with a rattle shoved in one it.
I've tried a Carolina rig and it kicks my ass every time. I still want to figure it out.
Casting is the hard part for me.
Great tips... big👍
How about live bait does that work with this rig from the bank
What gear would you suggested?? And or line to use??
Mr. Fluke, the question is what are the pros and cons of doing this with a dropshot, I feel more confident about hooking up on a dropshot rig and it takes less tackle and time to rig so generally it's already on a rod. Would it be virtually the same to scan the bottom that way? Also what glasses are those.. looking for some new ones that are costa fit minus Costa price
Can you fish it with spinning reel?
Thank you for the video. I'm a pretty new fisherman. I'm going to have to buy some stuff to make this.
Have fun!
How do you know when your bait/weight hit the bottom? You seem to be doing it by feel alone as you were looking at the camera. Im having trouble feeling much when I fish the bottom. I can feel the resistance and small hangups when dragging my rig across the bottom. But when I bounce a Texas rig off the bottom I really don't feel it hit the bottom again.
Beat is 🔥
Thank you
I've been almost exclusively using the watermelon/pearl Rage swimmers on a 1/4 oz. Weight hook. And my gosh I've slayed
Where’d you get the weighted hooks, I’ve been fishing with rage swimmers and there great?
Go dawgs!
That beard is looking awfully thick and dark! Great video Gene!
I get frustrated with a carolina rig. It takes a while to rig it then I end up losing it by getting caught. Today I has to set it up three times and lost all three. I went back to the texas rig for the rest of the morning.
I couldn’t agree more!!!
Carolina Rig is excellent, but being a top water addict I consider a buzz bait to be a window bait as well.
Hi from Portugal! Great channel! How do you know when the rig hits the bottom? Thank you
You’re line will suddenly go limp.
@@FlukemasterThank you!
Man I've fished the same lake going on 2 months with a Texas rig and various baits and havnt caught any. Got a few good bites though. I havnt tried the carolina rig yet.. guess it's time to.
Rex Bowen, tell us how it goes 😃
I’m the same. Almost got one like two weeks ago tho. Haven’t tried the Carolina Rig yet so I think imma give it a try.
Sounds like there's not really any fish there. Try somewhere else.
I love the shirt. Are you selling that because I want to wear it everywhere
General question. How long should I keep an f g knot on my set up. I lost a nice fish today right where that knot was. I had caught plenty on it previously. Thoughts?
I’ve had them last for days but I check them several times a day
Can you show what the line looks like when you cast and hit bottom? How do you know you're on the bottom before you start reeling?
I’m wondering the exact same thing. Hopefully he answers :)
You’ll will notice that the line will stop moving and go a little slack.
So i typically feel like the line stops moving but I'm not on the bottom or I can't feel the bottom when i start the retrieve. Should i then up-size the weight? Basically if it isn't a hard bottom i have a hard time feeling it. Is it just a practice thing or should i up-size from a 3/8 or 1/2 oz to something heavier?
I’ve heard that you shouldn’t use a Carolina Rig like this on a pond / lake with a rocky bottom because the weights just get wedged into the rocks all the time. What do you think about this issue?
Use lead instead of tungsten. The softness of the lead lowers the snag rate on rocks.
Keep the bank fishing videos coming!
Hey flukemaster or really anyone just wanted to see if anyone could help me I’ve been fishing for about 35-40 hours and haven’t gotten a single bite on any of the lakes I’ve been fishing at and just looking for some tips for anything else I can do
Fish around cover, structure, weedlines, and grass mats. Try to experiment with different lures, retrieves, and rigs. The days around the new moon and full moon are best for fishing and youtube is a really good way to make sure you're fishing things right. You'll catch something soon enough; best of luck to you. :)
Adding to what Yikes said, go out early with a white spook or popr and cast parallel to the bank. If that doesn’t work try a zoom super fluke, a wacky rigged senko, and if there’s not too much grass a ned rig. You will catch one and it’ll get easier every time after. Just cast parallel to the bank and look for structure. Tight lines bud
Drop shot and worms with green tail shorten your worms Ruff them up before fishing helps release salt and scent
Something I like to do when I don’t get hit on bass, I set up a bobber with a small hook size 8 and some white bread and have some fun catching carp and blue gill throw some bread in the water before
Think you are at that point where you may need to use drawings or graphs or some type of aid for visual presentations.
I love that shirt lol :)
Yes the Carolina rig does catch fish but it kills way to many fish for that reason I stopped using it years ago.
What do u mean?
So, pretty much the ponds I mostly fish are grass on the bottom, even in the middle. Cant' really use carolina or texas rigs. Literally the only things work are float fishing and setting the depth just above the grass or spinning gear, without letting it to sink to far down, otherwise I'm pulling out a bucket load of crap. There are big bass in these ponds, no question. The other option is either fish it before the weed grows out - spring time or fish it once all the weed died out.
Anyone knows any other solution for that situation, beside what I mentioned?
Try a split shot rig or a mojo rig. That’s the kind of stuff they are made for.
Drop shot rig will do the trick.
OK, I've got a question I've never seen addressed as a newbie. What's the function of the beads and stuff? I'm guessing the swivel helps defeat line twist, but what's up with everything else? I'd think all of that other hardware would make the whole presentation unnatural? I don't know who else to ask.
Makes noise with the sinker and attracts fish, if using a swivel also protects the knot from being banged up by the weight
4:45 wind inside the water??? 🤔🤔🤔
well if you're not interested in catching fish, and all you want to do is "feel the bottom and search for drops" why not just leave the hook and the worm off and just tie a sinker on it?
I wouldn’t use glass beads with tungsten
You can take that to the BANK!! See what I did there... LOL
This comment is criminally underrated 😂
🔥
I want one of those shirts
You can find them on my TeeSpring Marketplace.
Would love to go fishing with you one day I fish down and Oklahoma having trouble catching any whoppers in the lake by me need to learn a few tricks.
Josh Nalley , what lake do you fish in Oklahoma?
Im going to Bixhoma tomorrow!
If he responds he knows he is the goat 😂♥️
make it easy and put links to your baits. tw will probably pay you dude
I fish from the riverbank all the time. I don't do pond fishing at all. I have a friend that we go to big lakes in his 14 foot boat.
But I don’t want to catch bass.. I need me some walleye..
THE 5000 POUND ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM MY FRIEND IS YOUR HEALTH AND HEART, YOUR A BIT OVER SIZED (SOME CARBS ARE REALLY BAD FOR YOU) GOOD LUCK AND A HEALTHY FUTURE TO YOU,
GREAT fishing tips 👍👍👍👌🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈
I would have to strongly disagree. Speaking as a bank fisherman, the top bank fishing rig is the wacky-rigged Senko. This will catch you more fish then any other rig. You can fish it in open water, around weeds and wood, under docks... really just about anywhere. I hate paying the high price compared to other stick baits, but they're hard to beat.
Gene hates Senko fishing, but I agree watermelon senko deadsticking weightless ewg is my go-to. Sure, it's not as fun as a frog or a crankbait bite, but it gets the job done.
Title is misleading. Channel is not a fluke
Or, rather than ALL that info, you can just cast all over and if you don’t catch a fish move and cast all over. This is how I and Millions of others have caught Billions, perhaps Trillions, of Bass for hundreds of years.
I can’t believe you waisted your time typing that comment.
Dude, you gotta stop eating all those fish you catch.
You should know as well there are no tricks to fishing ponds this is where you take children to catch fish.. it is not hard to fish in a pond. rivers streams, and other large bodies of water are where adults fish.
Make this stuff way too complicated. Not going through all of that for no fish.
