- All in my spot down here, down river, downstream, so we'll see, see if I can keep this up.
- 00:08
- So the last time I came out to the river, I really struggled. First of all, the river was like four feet higher, the current was really fast,
- 00:16
- I guess they must have opened the dam or something, and I really struggled to find the fish. I did catch one, so I didn't get skunked, but it was a small one, and also that's where I got the big pike to bite.
- 00:25
- If you haven't seen that video, a 10 -pound pike, I got it on video, bit my lure, and instantly snapped me off.
- 00:31
- I lost it, I didn't catch it, but anyway, I struggled. But anyway, the river's back down to normal height, and I did find a bunch today.
- 00:59
- There he goes, in the boat. Lost the bait, but that's okay.
- 01:32
- Caught three fish on that bait. No giants, but I will definitely take it. Woo! He was angry.
- 01:41
- I used a new bait from Berkeley, it's a Maxscent Powerbait, it's a flatnose minnow in black shiner color.
- 01:52
- I caught a bunch of fish on it, and you'll see in the catch one, and then I have to put a new one on because I lost it.
- 01:58
- I caught three fish on one bait, I replaced the bait, and I just put the bait in the water, I didn't even cast it, and instantly a fish is on it.
- 02:05
- It's ridiculous. This is a really good bait, I'm looking forward to using it again tomorrow. And then
- 02:11
- I ended up catching a few on a lizard as well. Fish went right for it.
- 02:31
- As soon as I dropped it in the water. That was crazy.
- 02:44
- There he goes, he's still following it. He wants it.
- 02:56
- He has it. Got it. This guy's following it the whole way.
- 03:28
- As soon as it hit the water, he went for it. And he kept chasing it, even though he saw me there. He went for it, man.
- 03:35
- That was crazy. Pound and a half, two pounds.
- 03:43
- All right, I see you. Get out.
- 03:51
- There he goes. Swimming away. You'll see
- 03:57
- I actually, I'm going to stop and I do some bank fishing in the current.
- 04:02
- There's like a fast current, so I parked the kayak, and I got out and I started throwing it in the current, and I ended up catching a smallmouth with a lizard in the current.
- 04:42
- Fish bit the lizard. There's one.
- 04:56
- There's one. Come over here, little guy.
- 05:08
- There he is. I see him. He's not big, but he's using the current to his advantage. Come here, you.
- 05:46
- He's tired. He's getting tired. Small guy. Come on, get him.
- 05:55
- I caught four on this on this lizard, and this is a lizard from Big Bite Baits. You can get these at Dick's. They're very cheap.
- 06:00
- It's like two bucks a pack, and it was really durable. Honestly, like I caught four fish on the same lizard, and it doesn't even look any worse for the wear.
- 06:10
- It looks like it's a brand new bait, so I'm pretty impressed with it. I honestly did not expect anything from these baits, but it worked really well and very durable.
- 06:19
- No giants today, but some decent -sized fish. I think the biggest one was the 2 '4", and then
- 06:24
- I didn't measure a bunch that were probably in the one to two pound range, so really good day.
- 06:32
- Anyway, that's the video for today. I hope that you enjoyed it, and get out there and catch some fish, man.
