  • Can CZcams help me become a better fisherman? Today I am fishing from the bank for panfish. I am using a drop shot with a small piece of worm to overcome a tough bite. When I can't seem to find any bass (like this week) I turn my attention to bluegills and sunfish. On this trip, I manage to catch about 6 long ear sunfish. They really have beautiful colors! I am surprised that I didn't catch any other species. When you can't seem to find any fish, fishing a drop shot with a worm can usually find something. In this case, it's a school of long ear sunfish.
    Once again I am using my Shimano Sienna. You can check one out here: amzn.to/2rEQ0PY

    That first one you caught was a Longear. Beautiful fish and great flathead bait. Tight lines!

    Those were so nice I'd take them home and set up a 150 gallon fish tank up to display them.

    I love fishing for sunfish with ultralight gear and all we have here in Nevada are greenies and bluegills! Would love to fly east some days and fish for longears and pumpkinseeds! Great video...Thanks!

      Someone schooled me on whether these are Pumpinseeds or Long Ear Sunfish. Turns out they are Long Ears since they don't have red ears. :)

    Nice video Realistic!!!! The struggle is real my friend lol the rock Bass here are like piranha, no matter what I throw in the water I can't get anything but Rock Bass I actually fished for them the other day it has definitely been killing my confidence started throwing the biggest lures I have and still tiny rock Bass will take it Hopefully fishing picks up for both of us I would really enjoy hooking up with a big Bass :) Those were really pretty sunfish Great colors on them

  • @HOOKEMINTHEMOUTHKAYAKFISHING

    Its been tough my way too for the fishing. We need more rain here . its the driest I've seen it in three years. Them long ear sunfish was brightly illuminated nice fishing!

    For some reason I seem to have better luck using a float for sunfish. And as much as I love sticking with my 1/16 oz jigheads, if I'm using worms, a #4 aberdeen using 1/3 up to the whole worm threaded on has been catching me tons more than with the jighead.

    • @RealisticFishing
      @RealisticFishing  Před 7 lety +1

      Float fishing means you see the bite. No float forces you to feel the bite. Its practice for other styles of finesse fishing.

    • @teamcramerfishing8441
      @teamcramerfishing8441 Před 7 lety +1

      That makes sense.

    Nice video. I should take a day and try for some panfish.

    • @RealisticFishing
      @RealisticFishing  Před 7 lety +1

      Fishing for the same fish over and over can be boring. Especially if you can't find em. :)

    • @kevinlilly7406
      @kevinlilly7406 Před 7 lety +1

      Well, I almost hate to say it, but finding them hasn't become a problem yet this year.
      Loosing baits and reel malfunctions on the other hand...

    • @RealisticFishing
      @RealisticFishing  Před 7 lety +1

      We are in that awkward post spawn time over here. I think they are taking a break, but they will be back.

    • @kevinlilly7406
      @kevinlilly7406 Před 7 lety +1

      I guess. This is so much looking like last year. After the spawn, the size of the average fish caught kept getting smaller and smaller. Once summer was here and the water weeds were up, seems all the fish just disappeared. Right now if I don't catch 10 or more * bass each trip, I think I had a bad day. By July, 2 fish in a day is a good day.
      * Advantages of fishing a private lake; little fishing pressure, no fish management.

    • @RealisticFishing
      @RealisticFishing  Před 7 lety

      I don't have that luxury. For me a 2 bass day is great anytime. lol

  • @rat4spd

    My best luck I've had when nothing else works is finding a dock that goes deep and dropping live bait straight off the side, hugging close to the foundation. There's always a few bluegill or such hanging around there 👊🏻

    • @RealisticFishing
      @RealisticFishing  Před 7 lety +1

      I am always happy to fish docks. You never know what you might find 👍

    • @RealisticFishing
      @RealisticFishing  Před 7 lety

      Honestly, I like the Abu Garcia better. The main reason is that my first KastKing was wot working correctly after 2 months. It could have been bad luck, or it could have been junk. Who knows right?
