As you can see behind me, boats are already in the water. Back at the same lake I was at the other day. Is it pay lake donated my six dollars? But it's okay they're obviously doing a pretty good job managing these lakes. There's a couple more close by that I really want to go fish as well but they're about 40 minutes further away from where my in-laws live over here. So not going there just yet but I would like to go there one day soon maybe whenever the weather's just perfect. I might go over there whenever they're on bed go there and just try to find some different fish on bed but anyways let's get out there and catch some math. So a question I've gotten a lot is how I keep my batteries charged from my chestee. Do I wear a battery pack or not? There's two ways to do it. One way is where I put a battery pack in your pocket run a cord from the battery pack to your chest cam. The other way is I have this little charger charges two. Go for a battery at a time. I leave this set in the floor of the boat plugged up to my USB that I have beside my console at all times. So I've always got one on charge and that's what I do. I just change my batteries. I don't like the cord go into a battery pack in my pocket. Feels like it weighs me down. First world problems right but anyways that's how do it? Okay so Luke my spin reel is obviously not my forte really but here's a tip with the spin reel. If you feel the drag coming out of the reel like this it's always gonna be a lot different than how much force it takes to do the drag like this so if you just feel your drag from your reel sometimes you'll get it tighter than you want it. Because all the guides add a little bit of friction even though I've got the best guides you could possibly buy being the Fuji Titanium's. They still do add a little bit of tension. So oh big it. Maybe it's still on there. I'm lucky three and a half won't found her. Note that gummit. That's for sure over a three and a half. That gummit. How do you get golf like that? Dang it. Oh man that was not a big one but that was a two pounder anyway so I'm a gum. That one finally got it. No the two pounder though. Not even. Pen on three quarters. That gum is long. That is a two pounder. Just came up kind of nowhere. I've been in another lakes before. Where this is kind of you. We're there moving up the spawn to get in these real flat pockets and there'll be this scatter just grass like that or whatever it is on the bottom. It could be outdream thing. They just kind of scatter around in the middle of all the bare spots and that them dark spots. Anything over the top of it. Sink of, shake your head, swim bait, whack your head. They just kind of meander around in these little flat pockets. So I had three bites in this one. One was big. So that first little pocket I went into just based on like topography should be the best one on the lake but for whatever reason I didn't get any bites in there at all. Kind of scared me. Maybe think that this rain has got them in some kind of a funk. I've thought I don't throw a sink on stuff around because I know I don't believe that fish reposition based on water temp. I think fish is a fish's migration schedule is all around linked of the day. I just think that water temp dictates how they bite. I don't think it dictates where they are. That's one thing I different for a lot of pros. I know the fish are still going to be up here because it's getting close to the time for the spawn but sometimes they'll get in a funk where you might catch them on a wacky rig or something real small and finesse because you know the conditions I've made them eat a little differently. So that was what I was worried about today. Gosh, don't do that was freaking awesome. And that sucker got it good and was fighting. Holy crap. Took one of my claws off, put them in the tongue. That sucker was on it man. Dane! That rod laid the wood to them though. Two and a half hounder. We got a little crooked tail. Not bad though. Fun fun. Very very fun. I do enjoy it down right there. So kind of the view as you can tell all the baits I'm throwing today whether it be this untamed tackle plentish or swim jig that zoom trickworm weightless or that swim bait. They all kind of fish the same depth, the same type of fish will bite all three. Just kind of a deal of figuring out which one they prefer and it seems like so far they don't like that worm for whatever reason. I'm going to try out some more because I really want to bend that spin rod a couple of times today and get some bites on it but they really don't seem to like that worm as much as they like a reaction bait. So might throw around a little bit more than just be done with it for the rest of the day. So definitely seems maybe whites to deal. I don't know for sure. Probably not a lot of shad in this pond or lake whatever you want to call this but I think definitely seem to be lacking the swim jig and swim bait best. So that one got a little bit deeper. It's really really cool. The jungle hook right there through his nose. No issues at all. So, swam down that. So it seems like the way they're biting the swim jig is way, way more aggressive than they are biting that swim bait. So they're really, really attacking the swim jig and the swim bait they're kind of easing up on and not hitting quite as hard. Could be why I've lost a couple in that swim bait. They're not super, super committed to it right now. Okay, so y'all seem to throw swim jig attuned. There's no doubt about that. Normally I throw white because white shows are really, really well on video. And the other one that I throw the most is black and blue. I don't know me throw black and blue, pre spawn, white post spawn or you know something around that. I kind of just mix it up based on what they're gonna, what I think they're gonna bite but I've never caught them very well on a blue geoculler. So this is one has a good bit of orange in it. Quite a lot of orange in it actually. I'm gonna put that down so it looks like the little belly of the blue geo and then the rest of it up. So never really caught them on an orange or a blue geoculler. Swim jig very good. So that's what I'm going to try right now since they're already in the swim jig pretty good. I'm gonna pull some of these strands of orange out because it does look just like a bit much to me anyways but I'm not a bad. So my opinion does it really count but that's what we're gonna do. Tie this on. See if we can't get some confidence in a blue geoculler. Swim jig because there's a lot of scenarios where I do believe the blue geoculler will eat it. They'll eat it better but I just don't have the confidence to throw it a lot. So tie it up right now on 60 pound, nine strand, K9 braid, same 7 foot 3 rod. This is my other swim jig rod. Same eight eight to one gear ratio, chronic MGO from someone outdoors and that is it. So one thing that I'll do that I don't know if I ever told you all about. I'm sure I have at some point but I'll take the tag into that braid right there and I'll just hit it with a lighter and what that does is it burns it makes that little bobble in the end and the line will never free and sometimes that braid will free and get down into the knot and weaken the knot but whenever I put a lighter on it it will never free so a little braid hack. Got my club. There we go. It's not my first fish ever on a green pumpkin swim jig but or blue geoculler. It's not a green pumpkin but I would like to have a day where I really smash and want it so I would you know just be willing to throw it whenever I feel like the time is right and right now the time is definitely right around these bushes lots of blue geos up there they're spawning. All right it is raining outside as you all saw I was just fished on that same lake I was fishing on in the last video so the reason I keep going on that lake is everything around here super flooded that lake is controlled and it is very stable. It stays pretty clear it does have some runoff so it can get stained but nothing like these other places we have around here so pretty stable place to fish they're pulling up super hardcore pre spawn as you saw we're going to cut this video up into like a couple different parts because I was talking so much and caught so many fish I'm going to make a few different videos out of it because I don't make one 30 minute video that's one thing I was going to ask you I'll leave a comment down below I was thinking about making the tournament videos one long video or should I keep doing it all the daily videos a lot of the other pros or that have YouTube videos or they have one huge video one like 30 40 minute video whereas mine I break it down into multiple days so team which one you like better I personally think it's better to break it up but anyways leave me a comment down below hit that like button hit that subscribe button I don't know when the next tournament is going to be because it's coronavirus but anyways make sure you hit that subscribe button because you're going to want to see it I will see you all in the next video
