As a 57 yr old newbie your channel has been a tremendous help to me in the last couple months. This vid is another winner, so much info as I’m looking for a budget Baitcaster to get started with. I have an awesome lightweight spinning reel setup for creeks, another medium for plastics & lures & a med/heavy for Plopper & frog. So far I’ve caught most fish on a Mepps rooster tail but did catch a 5 pounder on a $1 Crankbait
My absolute favorite is the top water frog! The lure that can rival that is the belly-weighted paddle-tail swimbait, when I can't get them up top, that swimbait usually fits the bill. The stickbait is good, I usually fish them weightless, but they don't come through cover as well and the swimbaits. While the grass is still below the surface, I like the chatterbait type lures. lately I've been having good results with the Whopper Plopper 75.
Heck yeah! If I could, I'd throw a frog all day. I see you have been smoking them on the sprinker frog. Need to check out your latest PB vid. Congratulations by the way 👊
18:12 that’s exactly why I watch your channel, you’re not sponsored by a big company out there on a $60k boat loaded with more tech than a submarine, you’re just a dude that loves to fish. Gives hope to us little guys, and your beginner series was a huge help to me learning the ropes this year, thank you. Also the beard is looking good!
You’re right about summer bass. I’d say about half stay shallow through the summer. I just think they spread out more shallow and school up off shore. That said there’s a thermocline at every lake in central NC around 18ft right now. A lot of fish are suspended right above it.
I've read about the thermocline and different lakes/depths. I'm not a deep offshore angler so all of that interests me. Knowledge is power! Thanks for watching man 👊
That was a really great video. I'm going to take your advice and try some of those lures & techniques. I especially like how you showed what rods, reels, type line and pound test to use with each bait. Your color selection was a big help. Thanks DEBO 👍 🎣 🇺🇸
Every time I watch your videos I learn so so much. I finally just got my first bait caster this summer after watching your guide; absolutely love it. Can't wait to apply all these tips and tricks I just learned today!
and my best lure this summer is www.rapala.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-rapala-Site/default/Product-ShowInLocale?pid=BX%20Brat&countrySelect=true the Rapala BX Brat 03 in the ghost blue. Caught a 3lb 50z largie; that size is very unusual around here.
Hey Debo another thought for your choppo and whopper ploppers, add a heavy duty split ring to the nose then add a heavy duty barrel swivel to the split ring. It will cut out the line twist when the final prop gets jammed up with weeds.
I've had a couple folks say that. I usually run mine with a pike leader because of those toothy critters so I never think about it. I'll have to bring that up in a video soon! Thanks for watching man 👊
Indianapolis Smallmouth and Largemouth summer top five, at least for me: 1. Texas rig - rage craw 2. Buzzbait - KVD and Booyah 3. Squarebill - 6th sense and KVD 4. Swimjig - 6th Sense and WARBAIT 5. Chattarbait Honorable mention: shakey head with 6th sense divine worm
Hey, Dog vs Raptor. I live in Lebanon, Indiana. Where are you smallmouth fishing at. I bank fish and have been looking for a place for smallies. Thought about Eagle creek Park. Fishing in Eagle creek inside the park. Plenty of places to fish on the banks. Glad to see someone from Indy on here. Hope you can give me some info? SHAWN
Shawn Beck White River and Fall Creek here in town. This summer I’ve primarily fished out of my kayak. Sugar Creek through Crawfordsville is also excellent. For the White off the bank I would go to Holiday Park. For Fall Creek anything north of 38th street damn. Some bank access but plenty of places to wade. I haven’t really be on it this year, but there are lots of quality fish in there.
DEBO'S Fishing smallies are my favorite to catch around here. Indiana isn’t known for monster smallies, but there are quality fish in and around Indianapolis. Thanks for the content!
Used a black/blue jig with a craw trailer and rattles today. Caught my personal best large mouth. Thanks for all the tips and advise that helped me bring in the 6lb hog
Debo, put the Whopper Plopper type lures on a swivel. If and when the tails wrap with weed they will twist and ruin your line. I like the Dobbins 7'3" mag heavy for froggin and top water on 50 or 60# braid. It will really drive big hooks home and life time warranty on rod. Also, besides the lures you have mentioned, I like the buzz baits over slightly submerged grass. I'm in Illinois so fish similar waters as you. Some places I get bigger fish by putting the paddle tails on a swim jig instead of the weighted hook. I uses 3/8 blue & Black or blue gill colors.
Yeah, I've heard of guys adding a swivel. 90% of the time I run a pike leader that has a swivel so it's not an issue. That's something helpful that I should share for folks. Thanks for taking time to leave feedback man!
Always super helpful videos and detailed on why certain combos go together. Awesome seeing your channel blow up like it has I started watching about 6 months ago and you have helped my fishing game tremendously over this spring and summer months thank you again for the all the videos you do and keep them coming
A Gary Yamamoto creature in cinnamon and purple flake on a 3/0 ewg hook Texas Rig rigged backwards so the hula skirt is on the top has been my confidence bait for flipping docks and cover this summer
In all honesty you are my favorite fishing channel. My reasoning is sound. I watch many other channels, some teaching, some entertaining, some straight fishing and your channel regularly includes content the others don't. I learned how to roll cast from you, I learned how to set up my baitcaster and what to practice. I learned how to tie a texas rig from you and countless other things. I'm surprised your not at the 100,000 subscription mark.
That means a lot to me, Brian. I'm just thankful for all the supporters that I have. Appreciate folks like you supporting my channel. I'm glad my vids can help out 👊👊👊
I agree those dobyns almost fish 1/2 power lower then they are rated so that rod is almost a moderate. Also have been trying out the PLine copolymer too and have been pleasantly surprised even in crystal water . My first T rig video ever was your s and you lived the pitt boss
Yeah, the fury rods I've used seem to be a bit softer but I like them. I like the p-line cxx, strong and affordable though it does have some memory. Thanks for watching man 👊
I’m a state lower, so still have a bit of time before summers end. Went out to my favorite conservation area today. No luck with surface or diving lures. Went to a senko (blue) still no luck. Switched off to 5” yamasenko (green pumpkin) and landed 4 largemouth in about 30 minutes. Thanks for all the tips! This is really my first year bass fishing and I’m catching a bunch with your advice. Keep the videos coming!
Go Hawks!! My most productive down here in southern IA would be a chatterbait earlier in the summer and then the Texas rig. I mostly have dirtier water down here so it's been a lot of black/blue or green pumpkin. Great videos and excited to see a fellow Iowan doing these!
Hey man! Yes, go HAWKS. Yeah, those colors have been the same up here. Lots of rain the past few weeks really muddied up the water. Thanks for watching man 👊
You should try with yourself or with fishing partners; Decision Roulette App. Add your choice of lures to the app and give it a spin. 5-15 minutes pure lure. 1st scoreable bass each round gets a point. Fisherman with most points, Win.
Love all the infor from lures to set up, especially the last one. For me is the fear of what if toothy fish are in the area and bam .. there goes $15 This year for me is the green lizard , and fishing style is no weight , just letting it free fall
I have good luck on lipless crankbait and texas rig. However I did get my 1st top water bite with a whopper plopper 90 and even though it was a small fish it was amazing! Thanks for putting in the time to make these videos Debo!
I have had a great summer fishing retention ponds in the industrial parks. They build these ponds for fires. If one of the really big warehouses catches fire. The fire department hooks up to a huge diesel motor to pump water on to the big warehouses. I have talked with the diesel mechanics and they tell me there are giant bass in these ponds. I personally have caught 4 big largemouth over 5 pounds. My best baits are a Chartruse double willow bladed spinner bait 3/8 oz and baby Rattle Traps in chrome and black. The hooks are really sharp. Using braided 30 pd low vis green line. I was using mono 12 pd line. But the big fish either spit it out or broke the line when trying to get The hooks out. Man, I hate working so hard to get The bass out of the water then the line breaks trying to lip the Bass. Lost 5 big fish this summer. That s why I went to braided line. No stretch. Got em! No line break. See ya! Gone fishing. Shawn
@@DEBOSFishing Thanks for the return text. It's nice that you take the time to answer your fans! Keep up the great work on your video's. They are truly helping me be better in Bass fishing I am 59 years old. I have totally redone the way I fish and it has changed for the better. Every once in a while a person comes along with their ideas and changes every thing. Thanks, again! SHAWN
@@DEBOSFishing I have been watching for a couple of months now and your tips an some others have helped me land some nice size bass. I do get some dings but catching is catching. Thanks again. Look forward to next video.
Great video. Love the channel. My big producer this summer has been the chatterbait on the Revo X Combo. A few pitching a weighted texas rig Bandito Bug, Neg Rig, and when its really tough the stick bait always catches me something.
Debo, My new #1 lure is the Jig Rig AKA the Jika Rig. I picked it up about 1/2 way thru summer and I have caught the biggest and most fish on it. In the past 20+ years the 4 or 5” Senko either weighted or unweighted was my go to lure. This year I have not caught much of anything on it. I have been using the Big TRD by Z-Man. I think the fact it floats has added a different element to the game.
I have only fished the jika rig a little bit. They seem like a downsized tokyo rig. I haven't used the big TRD this year but had good luck with them in the past. Thanks for watching man 👊
Good point buddy! Confidence in a lure/bait catching fish is cool but yeah having confidence in throwing everywhere and anywhere is gonna catch more fish in the long run.. crank bait such lures r super fishy but location is 75% of the battle in my experience
The bluegill colored Whopper Plopper has been gold for me this summer. Believe it or not I have caught some big cats on this lure. I know shocked me as well!! I’ve recently moved to Aubrey Texas and do a lot of pond and small lake fishing. Thanks for the tips.
Yup the choppo!!! I swear by the 90 size man. I use to love buzz baits for top water but sometimes I got short strikes. With a single hook I wasn't landing those fish. I got my biggest fish this year too on a choppo Edit: I found a "Larry Dahlberg signature series whopper plopper" for 10$ at bass pro today. So there are 10$ 90mm whopper ploppers now with the rubber prop on the back. Finally an affordable whopper plopper
A swimming shad with a spinner on it was my best lure this year so far , haven't went fishing much this year family and friends deaths kinda knocked my desire to fish back but I'm waiting on my friend to come down from Wisconsin so we can get back to fishing
Awesome video! Great editing on the examples of how u were fishing different baits, like the frog! Loved this video! I have had a lot of luck on some of those same baits the last month or so. Especially the plopper. Good work! Thanks for another great video!
You're welcome man. Yeah, the plopper has honestly become one of my favorite search lures for topwater. Something about it brings fish out. Appreciate you watching man 👊

Just back from Maine - killed it day after day (and night) with the miyagi swimmer from beast coast lures - used the bass “prey” color for largemouth. Pitched in deep to the pads and pulled it thru slow while jigging it in place every 5 feet or so. They murdered the thing - almost an “angry” hard hit - like “you come into my territory and I am going to eat you”.
Texas rig with a Mondo worm Booyah Poppin pad crasher Keep up the great videos. Refreshing to watcha fishing video without all the sponsor BS, or having too end gear crammed down our throats.
@@DEBOSFishing random question or video request..... MN bank angler here. Recommended finnese rigs for bank anglers dealing with cover and muck covered bottoms?
@@sorensoneric83 have you tried the weedless EWG ned rig heads? That with a ned rig is weedless. Keep it light and it shouldn't grab too much. Wacky rig would be good too!
My fall success lure is large ribbon tails I hand pour myself but I let them soak overnight in a baggie w/ pumpkin spice latte blend I created. Fall bass enjoy them.. lol. But seriously it would be swim jig
Had my best luck with the texas rigged craw's this summer. Mainly the zoom speed craw and the 10000 fish saw craw. Great videos I have learned a lot... really appreciate the tips and advice.
Another fantastic video! You are the reason I've gotten into bass fishin! I just got 2 daiwa tatula sv tw's one in 6.3:1 and the other in 7.3:1 I'm so excited! I have to get rods for both but still super excited to try some of the things I've learned from you! You rock bruh!
@@DEBOSFishing I absolutely love them! Not one backlash and that's casting them with no thumb...which makes casting my cardiff a little tricky if I'm not focused lol...great reels for sure!
Your channel is growing because you explain things so well IMHO. Sometimes I think about having a drink every time you catch a Debo Dink but I don't like to drink that much. 😄 Great channel man, seriously.
Good video, I'm kind of suprised at what you use to throw baits, but I'm a noob so I better take notes! Also I have kids and am broke so tackle is limited! But..... i do know that one combo I'm missing is a longer heavy combo because i have nothing like it! I thank you, my wife doesnt! Tight lines my friend!
Don't worry about a ton of gear at first. Time on the water is more important than anything. Slowly add a combo here and there as your budget allows. Thanks for watching and good luck on the water 👊
Firetiger Jitterbug has been money. Z Man original chatterbait with Zoom Baby Bass fluke, land my PB last Sunday morning, 6lb 1oz, 22 inches. Biggest surprise is the $1 spinnerbaits from Walmart, black color. That's about it, thanks for the great videos. Tight lines my feeshin friend
I have enjoyed all of your vids and i find myself wathing them again with my Son and Daughter on a regular basis. so much in fact my son asked me yesterday "Hey Dad did Debo come out with a new video on youtube yet?" :-D
My top 5 this year have been interesting. My number 5 would be a square bill crankbait. With the spawn being later than normal this year I was able to fish it a little longer than normal. 4 would be drop shot using a fluke style soft plastic. Number 3 would be a popper. 2 would be a top water spook or walking bait. I caught my pb just 2 weeks ago on a spook. Finally my number 1 would be a Texas Rig. You hit the nail on the head with the bank fisherman comment. The Texas Rig just lit it up this year. My best baits on the Texas rig were a Zoom Brush Hog, a Strike King Rage Space Monkey and the absolute best one was a Berkley 10" ribbon tail worm. I was catching most of those fish on the initial fall on that bait! Now comes the fall. Are you going to put out a video on your favorite fall baits?
Nice! Congratulations on the PB walking bait fish. Yeah, the texas rig is really hard to beat as a bank angler. I will do a vid like this for my favorite fall lures soon! Thanks for watching man 👊
In Oregon, it's been a bit of everything its weird, stick baits wacky rig, saw a 7 pounder caught on a $2 lipless, I caught 15 debo dinks on a bitsy jig, few 2-3 pounders on my white plopper, but most fun I had so far was when it hit 100 degrees, I went punching close to the bank with a 1oz weight, only caught 6 but that's slowly becoming my favorite, searching for those #hydrillagorillas you the man #CERTIFIED 👊🏽
Hahah yeah, it has been a hodge podge of fishing here too. Both real consistent pattern. Hoping for that fall bite to pick up soon. Thanks for watching my man👊
I tried mono but it was too much stretch in the thick slop on long casts. If it's working for you, that's what matters. Cool thing about fishing is that there are multiple ways to do it!
DEBO'S Fishing I just got into mono. I used to be a braid addict 😂 I strictly only use it for top water. Buzzbait, spook, frog. Anything else I use braid
Thanks Debo, really informative! I'm surprised there were no spinners on this list. I did notice the swimbait you showed looked to be on an underspin, minus the blades. I have been having luck with that this summer, specifically the Owner flashy spinner with the Rage swimmers.
Another great video! Keep ‘me coming. Gonna look for those post Thanksgiving sales this year. We’ve had great success on topwater soft plastic toads - especially Stanley Ribbit. Also Keitech paddlebaits run on top of the weeds earlier in the summer.
@@DEBOSFishing I know what I do isn't what most anglers would want to see at all, I get it (not to mention I suck as a youtuber and a fisherman in general, hahaha), doesn't mean I can't support channels I think deserve it, keep up the good work. I look forward to the day a few hundred thousand people get to enjoy watching each video
@@werftv4580 I'm no pro either man, just trying to have fun and share my experiences. Appreciate that a lot man. If you ever swing through Iowa, hit me up!
@@DEBOSFishing when I lived in IL, I would fish at sundown at the mall parking lot drain ponds. I would take two lures, both the same. a zara puppy in reflective shad color. mall cops were busy watching the crowds, so I rarely got hassled. I would have a great time, lol.. now i'm boring, catch 90 percent calicos in salt and channel catfish in fresh. Boring, but makes a good fish fry at the end of the day.
I can attest to the rage menace as a great trailer to use. It has really good action on swim jigs, spinners and chatters. Caught my pb a week ago in a tiny pond on a white spinnerbait with a pearl menace rigged vertical.
Awesome video Debo 👍 I hope to have a fishing collection like yours someday 🤣 I have to make do with one spinning rod, and my new MH baitcaster. The wife says only one rod a year 😱
@@deeshizzlee that is the trick right there depending on your budget. The one I just got was 99$ it's caught me fish, and hasn't broke 🤞 But it's still brand new can't say if it'll hold up over time, but I got the "Lew's carbon blue gt" that is sold at Dicks sporting goods.
You don't need a ton of gear. Time on the water is the most important. I enjoy trying new gear, however, you have to live within your budget. Having multiple combos does help but it takes time to build the collection! Appreciate you watching man 👊👊👊
Love the video brother...! My three main lures/ combos this year has been A popping frog on a 7ft MH Fast and a Okuma stratusVI reel with 50lb braid spiderwire. A swimming Jig (Bluegill) on a 7ft 2in kastking speed demon jig/worm rod with a kastking Assassin with 15lb copolymer P line. And a Terminator pro jig black and blue/ Texas rig with 3/8 bullet weight on a 7ft MH Fast rod with a Quantum Escalade reel spooled with 20lb floro Berkely Vanish. Worked for me in my area. Love to throw the Whopper Plopper and ChatterBait as well though.... But those are my main Rigs for this summer at least. Hey love the vid bro.. keep em' coming man can't wait to see what to upload next... ! 👊👊👊👊 As always Tight lines brother and rip Dem lips.
I'm digging the technical videos. Just curious, as summer is ending could we get a fall fishing preview? Like how do you approach the fish, what baits you would use, etc...
PUMPKIN SPICE!!! The only pumpkin I'm even THINKING about during this time is pumpkin green lures man..Great vid maestro! I'm looking forward to your fall fishing videos. My most productive rig has been a Lunker Log on a Texas rig.
Man Debo I found these Abu Garcia combos that are revo X's but they're blue and black for SEVENTY DOLLARS. They have winn grips too it's crazy. I don't think the reel has an aluminum frame though it looks like carbon. I don't know if they priced it wrong or what but they've got a few of them lol
Great job as usual! Hello from MI. Had great luck early spring and into summer with the Ned Rig. Mid summer changed up to mostly Texas rigged creature baits and did really well consistently. As of late, been hitting topwater on the BP double plopper and whopper plopper. Thanks for all of your work and advice. It’s helped me graduate to using baitcasters now over anything else and loving it. Your videos on casting and backlashes were invaluable!
That poppen perch is off the chain. I no u didn’t talk about the buzz bait but Iam having trouble with them not running straight they want to run on the side. An they r brand new an I run them On braid. Any tip or something I can get different thanks. Keep up the awesome videos. Just love to watch all them. Tight lines. Keep it up

Nice! I'll definitely be dragging the lipless out soon! Heck yeah, plopper bites are fun as heck! Thanks for watching man 👊
More nice tips Debo
GO HAWKS!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Heck yeah, go HAWKS 👊
I have had a great summer fishing retention ponds in the industrial parks. They build these ponds for fires. If one of the really big warehouses catches fire. The fire department hooks up to a huge diesel motor to pump water on to the big warehouses. I have talked with the diesel mechanics and they tell me there are giant bass in these ponds. I personally have caught 4 big largemouth over 5 pounds. My best baits are a Chartruse double willow bladed spinner bait 3/8 oz and baby Rattle Traps in chrome and black. The hooks are really sharp. Using braided 30 pd low vis green line. I was using mono 12 pd line. But the big fish either spit it out or broke the line when trying to get The hooks out. Man, I hate working so hard to get The bass out of the water then the line breaks trying to lip the Bass. Lost 5 big fish this summer. That s why I went to braided line. No stretch. Got em! No line break. See ya! Gone fishing. Shawn
Nice man, sound like you have some amazing spots to fish. Yeah, that's why I error on the side of too heavy of line. I HATE breaking a fish off!
@@DEBOSFishing Thanks for the return text. It's nice that you take the time to answer your fans! Keep up the great work on your video's. They are truly helping me be better in Bass fishing I am 59 years old. I have totally redone the way I fish and it has changed for the better. Every once in a while a person comes along with their ideas and changes every thing. Thanks, again! SHAWN
@@shawnbeck2303 thank you, Shawn. I'm happy to share anything that I'm doing to help others. Thanks again for watching 👊
Great video as always, helping out those new anglers around the world.
Trying to pay it forward. Thanks for watching man 👊
@@DEBOSFishing I have been watching for a couple of months now and your tips an some others have helped me land some nice size bass. I do get some dings but catching is catching. Thanks again. Look forward to next video.
Love the gear rundowns. Maybe put them in after the feeshin'.
I tried to do that for a bit, kind of forgot lol. I'll incorporate that more!
Inline spinners from Mepps catch me Pike and Walleye all the time👌🏼
I've been productive with the KVD fluke the whopper plopper and sinkos.
Nice! I need to throw flukes more! Keep catching them man👊
Dang called out!!!! We could have done the review Sunday.... someone had to keep throwing the frog... dang it that was me!!!!!!!!
I really wanted more frog fish. So many blow ups...so little fish caught 🤣👊 Still had fun brother!
Great video. Love the channel. My big producer this summer has been the chatterbait on the Revo X Combo. A few pitching a weighted texas rig Bandito Bug, Neg Rig, and when its really tough the stick bait always catches me something.
Those are all solid options my man! Yeah, the crazy stick bait always manages to find a fish! Thanks for watching 👊
Debo,
My new #1 lure is the Jig Rig AKA the Jika Rig. I picked it up about 1/2 way thru summer and I have caught the biggest and most fish on it. In the past 20+ years the 4 or 5” Senko either weighted or unweighted was my go to lure. This year I have not caught much of anything on it. I have been using the Big TRD by Z-Man. I think the fact it floats has added a different element to the game.
I have only fished the jika rig a little bit. They seem like a downsized tokyo rig. I haven't used the big TRD this year but had good luck with them in the past. Thanks for watching man 👊
Good point buddy! Confidence in a lure/bait catching fish is cool but yeah having confidence in throwing everywhere and anywhere is gonna catch more fish in the long run.. crank bait such lures r super fishy but location is 75% of the battle in my experience
Yeah. The ability to consistently locate fish is really what separates the pros from an average angler. Thanks for watching man!
Great info man. This will be helpful for my next trip out.
Thanks man, hope you hook some biggins!
@@DEBOSFishing Caught a couple 2lb smallies last night on pumpkin booyah jig with a craw trailer. no debo dinks for me :)
@@slantedbolt4680 you need to be on my channel so folks can see big fish 🤣🤣🤣
The bluegill colored Whopper Plopper has been gold for me this summer. Believe it or not I have caught some big cats on this lure. I know shocked me as well!! I’ve recently moved to Aubrey Texas and do a lot of pond and small lake fishing. Thanks for the tips.
Nice! The plopper is a lot of fun to fish! Silly cats, whopper ploppers are for bass 🤣👊
Yup the choppo!!! I swear by the 90 size man. I use to love buzz baits for top water but sometimes I got short strikes. With a single hook I wasn't landing those fish. I got my biggest fish this year too on a choppo
Edit: I found a "Larry Dahlberg signature series whopper plopper" for 10$ at bass pro today. So there are 10$ 90mm whopper ploppers now with the rubber prop on the back. Finally an affordable whopper plopper
Nice! I don't know if I have seen those! The choppo has surprised me this year too! Tight lines man👊
It's a yellow perch pattern so it's white on the bottom. It's the most natural looking one I've seen man. I got 2 of em lol
A swimming shad with a spinner on it was my best lure this year so far , haven't went fishing much this year family and friends deaths kinda knocked my desire to fish back but I'm waiting on my friend to come down from Wisconsin so we can get back to fishing
Catch my personal best smallmouth with the black Choppo two mornings ago.
Nice man, congratulations on the new PB! The choppo is a cool little lure!
Awesome video! Great editing on the examples of how u were fishing different baits, like the frog! Loved this video! I have had a lot of luck on some of those same baits the last month or so. Especially the plopper. Good work! Thanks for another great video!
You're welcome man. Yeah, the plopper has honestly become one of my favorite search lures for topwater. Something about it brings fish out. Appreciate you watching man 👊

Just back from Maine - killed it day after day (and night) with the miyagi swimmer from beast coast lures - used the bass “prey” color for largemouth.
Pitched in deep to the pads and pulled it thru slow while jigging it in place every 5 feet or so. They murdered the thing - almost an “angry” hard hit - like “you come into my territory and I am going to eat you”.
Texas rig with a Mondo worm
Booyah Poppin pad crasher
Keep up the great videos. Refreshing to watcha fishing video without all the sponsor BS, or having too end gear crammed down our throats.
I have the booyah poppin pad crasher so far not a single bite
Love the big worm and frog. Can definitely do another vid like this for fall. Thanks for watching man 👊👊👊
@@DEBOSFishing random question or video request..... MN bank angler here. Recommended finnese rigs for bank anglers dealing with cover and muck covered bottoms?
@@sorensoneric83 have you tried the weedless EWG ned rig heads? That with a ned rig is weedless. Keep it light and it shouldn't grab too much. Wacky rig would be good too!
My fall success lure is large ribbon tails I hand pour myself but I let them soak overnight in a baggie w/ pumpkin spice latte blend I created. Fall bass enjoy them.. lol. But seriously it would be swim jig
Ahahah well played sir! Love me some swim jig action! Thanks for watching man 👊
Summer don’t goooo. Lol o well least I learned how to fish with a bait caster thank you with all the help.
I know, I'm really not looking forward to winter. I'm glad my viDEBOS could help! Thanks for supporting my channel!
Yes of course your the best to listen and watch. you explain everything which is important thank you.
Had my best luck with the texas rigged craw's this summer. Mainly the zoom speed craw and the 10000 fish saw craw. Great videos I have learned a lot... really appreciate the tips and advice.
You're welcome! Yeah, T-rig is just so versatile in the summer.
I would recommend the zoom z hog I got a pack on sale and their great (it's a beaver bait)
Surprisingly have not had luck all year on chatterbaits.
I didn't last year, it was all about the swim jig. This year, completely opposite 💁♂️
Great video man!! I use a lot of the same baits in the late summer months!!
Thanks man! Hope we can get on some this weekend!
Another one! You have inspired me to make my own channel! Love your content and striving to grow as much as possible! Keep the vids comin
That's awesome man! Good luck and keep with it. Takes a lot of work but it's a lot of fun!
DEBO'S Fishing thank you! Were grindin out here!
Another fantastic video! You are the reason I've gotten into bass fishin! I just got 2 daiwa tatula sv tw's one in 6.3:1 and the other in 7.3:1 I'm so excited! I have to get rods for both but still super excited to try some of the things I've learned from you! You rock bruh!
Thank you for watching, Bruce. I've heard those are good reels. I have the fuego and it had held up well. Slap those on some rods and get to catching!
@@DEBOSFishing I absolutely love them! Not one backlash and that's casting them with no thumb...which makes casting my cardiff a little tricky if I'm not focused lol...great reels for sure!
If it ain't in a pie, keep the pumpkin crap away from me! Thanks for recommending the BPS pro qualifier 2. I love that thing man!
John Hancock even if it’s in a pie 😖
@@reaganriddle1583 🤣 I actually like pumpkin pie but that's the ONLY thing I want with pumpkin in it.

I know I’m either late or early watching this but now I can’t wait for summer to end😉. As usual top notch on the video👍🏻
Old man !?? Watcher D, !! Dad's hasen tought u everything !! Lol. Get him back on the boat !! So cool !!!!!! 😎
Awesome vid as usual thanks for your tips.. mine would have to be the feog and soft plastic swim baits with an underspin
Nice! Love throwing those man!
Your channel is growing because you explain things so well IMHO. Sometimes I think about having a drink every time you catch a Debo Dink but I don't like to drink that much. 😄 Great channel man, seriously.
Thanks man. We could turn it into a Debo Dink....take a drink! Hahah yeah, we'd all be messed up after one episode 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Buzz bait and texas rig do well for me here love this channel i learn alot very entertaining and love the debo dinks too keep it up man
Nice, those will definitely produce! Thanks man, it's because of good folks like you who support my channel 👊👊👊👊
always do good with jerkbaits draws em out even if i dont hook em i get to find them i bank fish mostly no electronics ever just me hunting them
Yeah, I'm excited to get the jerkbaits out. Hoping to finally catch some on the S-Waver!
Good video, I'm kind of suprised at what you use to throw baits, but I'm a noob so I better take notes! Also I have kids and am broke so tackle is limited! But..... i do know that one combo I'm missing is a longer heavy combo because i have nothing like it! I thank you, my wife doesnt! Tight lines my friend!
Don't worry about a ton of gear at first. Time on the water is more important than anything. Slowly add a combo here and there as your budget allows. Thanks for watching and good luck on the water 👊
Firetiger Jitterbug has been money. Z Man original chatterbait with Zoom Baby Bass fluke, land my PB last Sunday morning, 6lb 1oz, 22 inches. Biggest surprise is the $1 spinnerbaits from Walmart, black color.
That's about it, thanks for the great videos.
Tight lines my feeshin friend
Nice man, congratulations on the new PB. DUDE, those $1 spinners are money!
I have enjoyed all of your vids and i find myself wathing them again with my Son and Daughter on a regular basis. so much in fact my son asked me yesterday "Hey Dad did Debo come out with a new video on youtube yet?" :-D
My top 5 this year have been interesting. My number 5 would be a square bill crankbait. With the spawn being later than normal this year I was able to fish it a little longer than normal. 4 would be drop shot using a fluke style soft plastic. Number 3 would be a popper. 2 would be a top water spook or walking bait. I caught my pb just 2 weeks ago on a spook. Finally my number 1 would be a Texas Rig. You hit the nail on the head with the bank fisherman comment. The Texas Rig just lit it up this year. My best baits on the Texas rig were a Zoom Brush Hog, a Strike King Rage Space Monkey and the absolute best one was a Berkley 10" ribbon tail worm. I was catching most of those fish on the initial fall on that bait! Now comes the fall. Are you going to put out a video on your favorite fall baits?
Nice! Congratulations on the PB walking bait fish. Yeah, the texas rig is really hard to beat as a bank angler. I will do a vid like this for my favorite fall lures soon! Thanks for watching man 👊
In Oregon, it's been a bit of everything its weird, stick baits wacky rig, saw a 7 pounder caught on a $2 lipless, I caught 15 debo dinks on a bitsy jig, few 2-3 pounders on my white plopper, but most fun I had so far was when it hit 100 degrees, I went punching close to the bank with a 1oz weight, only caught 6 but that's slowly becoming my favorite, searching for those #hydrillagorillas you the man #CERTIFIED 👊🏽
Hahah yeah, it has been a hodge podge of fishing here too. Both real consistent pattern. Hoping for that fall bite to pick up soon. Thanks for watching my man👊
I prefer 12-15 lbs mono for frog fishing
I tried mono but it was too much stretch in the thick slop on long casts. If it's working for you, that's what matters. Cool thing about fishing is that there are multiple ways to do it!
DEBO'S Fishing I just got into mono. I used to be a braid addict 😂 I strictly only use it for top water. Buzzbait, spook, frog. Anything else I use braid
Thanks Debo, really informative! I'm surprised there were no spinners on this list. I did notice the swimbait you showed looked to be on an underspin, minus the blades. I have been having luck with that this summer, specifically the Owner flashy spinner with the Rage swimmers.
Yeah, it was a flashy swimmer that got busted. Sadly, they don't hold up that well.
Another great video! Keep ‘me coming. Gonna look for those post Thanksgiving sales this year.
We’ve had great success on topwater soft plastic toads - especially Stanley Ribbit. Also Keitech paddlebaits run on top of the weeds earlier in the summer.
Nice! Yeah those ribbit toad are fun. Hope you find some good sales!
good on you, man..
Always appreciate you watching man 👊
@@DEBOSFishing I know what I do isn't what most anglers would want to see at all, I get it (not to mention I suck as a youtuber and a fisherman in general, hahaha), doesn't mean I can't support channels I think deserve it, keep up the good work. I look forward to the day a few hundred thousand people get to enjoy watching each video
@@werftv4580 I'm no pro either man, just trying to have fun and share my experiences. Appreciate that a lot man. If you ever swing through Iowa, hit me up!
@@DEBOSFishing when I lived in IL, I would fish at sundown at the mall parking lot drain ponds. I would take two lures, both the same. a zara puppy in reflective shad color. mall cops were busy watching the crowds, so I rarely got hassled. I would have a great time, lol.. now i'm boring, catch 90 percent calicos in salt and channel catfish in fresh. Boring, but makes a good fish fry at the end of the day.
@@werftv4580 nice, that sounds like fun. Heck yeah, love a good fish fry!
Well done sir, just know... fall is coming ala John Snow
Good! Guaranteed one of us will be catching big fish on my channel!
DEBO'S Fishing whoa... who said big fish
I can attest to the rage menace as a great trailer to use. It has really good action on swim jigs, spinners and chatters. Caught my pb a week ago in a tiny pond on a white spinnerbait with a pearl menace rigged vertical.
Yeah, I've definitely always got those on hand. Appreciate you watching and congratulations on the PB👊
Texas rig with culprit Fat Max worms 7 inch. Next would be a square bill KVD sexy shad.
Nice! Those culprits were good to throw. I haven't had many on the squarebill because of all the dang grass.

Awesome video Debo 👍 I hope to have a fishing collection like yours someday 🤣 I have to make do with one spinning rod, and my new MH baitcaster. The wife says only one rod a year 😱
Nick Jackson sounds about right sir! Trying to get a new rod reel set up now and really trying to get best bang for my buck
@@deeshizzlee that is the trick right there depending on your budget. The one I just got was 99$ it's caught me fish, and hasn't broke 🤞 But it's still brand new can't say if it'll hold up over time, but I got the "Lew's carbon blue gt" that is sold at Dicks sporting goods.
You don't need a ton of gear. Time on the water is the most important. I enjoy trying new gear, however, you have to live within your budget. Having multiple combos does help but it takes time to build the collection! Appreciate you watching man 👊👊👊
Come on man I love the Pumpkin spice blizzard. Not Sponsored. LOL Cool baits man you know what my fav's are. Swimbaits!!!!!
I love pumpkin pie. Just that fake pumpkin stuff doesn't donit for me. I've seen you wack em on a swimbait!

Great video bud. You use A LOT of the exact same gear and baits that I do. For the same reasons.... kinda creepy haha
Hahah that's funny! Great minds think alike 😉👊
Punkin spice....yuk..... agreed
Love the video brother...! My three main lures/ combos this year has been
A popping frog on a 7ft MH Fast and a Okuma stratusVI reel with 50lb braid spiderwire.
A swimming Jig (Bluegill) on a 7ft 2in kastking speed demon jig/worm rod with a kastking Assassin with 15lb copolymer P line.
And a Terminator pro jig black and blue/ Texas rig with 3/8 bullet weight on a 7ft MH Fast rod with a Quantum Escalade reel spooled with 20lb floro Berkely Vanish. Worked for me in my area. Love to throw the Whopper Plopper and ChatterBait as well though.... But those are my main Rigs for this summer at least. Hey love the vid bro.. keep em' coming man can't wait to see what to upload next... ! 👊👊👊👊 As always Tight lines brother and rip Dem lips.
Yeah, the swim jig was my deal last year. This year the dirty water has called for the chatter.
I love bps pro qualifiers and PQ 2’s. I just bought 4 on sale for $50 apiece great deal
Yeah, I got mine on sale for $49 this spring. It has been a good reel.
I'm digging the technical videos. Just curious, as summer is ending could we get a fall fishing preview? Like how do you approach the fish, what baits you would use, etc...
Yeah, I can definitely do that soon man! Appreciate the suggestion! Thanks for watching 👊👊👊
@@DEBOSFishing sweet! I appreciate you considering them 😁 appreciate the great content
PUMPKIN SPICE!!! The only pumpkin I'm even THINKING about during this time is pumpkin green lures man..Great vid maestro! I'm looking forward to your fall fishing videos. My most productive rig has been a Lunker Log on a Texas rig.
Hahah thanks man. Yeah, pumpkin colored lures are a different story! Thanks, I'm excited for the bite to heat up!
Man Debo I found these Abu Garcia combos that are revo X's but they're blue and black for SEVENTY DOLLARS. They have winn grips too it's crazy. I don't think the reel has an aluminum frame though it looks like carbon. I don't know if they priced it wrong or what but they've got a few of them lol

Great job as usual! Hello from MI.
Had great luck early spring and into summer with the Ned Rig. Mid summer changed up to mostly Texas rigged creature baits and did really well consistently. As of late, been hitting topwater on the BP double plopper and whopper plopper.
Thanks for all of your work and advice. It’s helped me graduate to using baitcasters now over anything else and loving it. Your videos on casting and backlashes were invaluable!
That's so humbling to hear man. Happy to hear that my vids have helped! Thanks for watching and supporting 👊👊👊
