Hunting for Gills
США
Добавлен 17 янв 2024
Welcome to Hunting for Gills, a Channel dedicated to outdoor activities, primarily fishing, soft plastic bait making, maybe a little Bee Keeping, and some recreational shooting activities. I've been considering starting a channel for a while, and given my interests in the outdoors, fishing, DIY bait making, shooting, and video/photography, it seemed like a great idea. Only time will tell how it evolves.
I have a family and work full-time as a heavy equipment operator, so I juggle many responsibilities. Whenever I can find the time, I go fishing and spend time outdoors with family and friends. My goal for this channel is to capture and share those adventures with others.
While the focus will be mostly on fishing and related topics, you never know what you might see

Unboxing & Shooting New Patriot Bait Mold #huntingforgills #patriotbaitmolds #makingsoftplasticbaits
This is the new version of my original mold design from Patriot Bait Molds, about 20% smaller than the original. I unboxed it and tested it right away. I went the extra mile and worked on my 'Laminates Game,' though I still need a little more practice in that area.
I've been working with Aaron from Patriot Bait Molds on several projects. I designed a bait that I felt would outperform the off-the-shelf options I was using. With his help-and a combination of my rough sketches (the kind any first grader would envy) and his CAD skills-we came up with a panfish-sized fry bait. The result was exactly what I envisioned.

No More Amazon Molds For Me? Unboxing New Custom Soft Plastic Bait Mold.
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.21 день назад
Affordable custom soft plastic bait molds? I have heard that it can cost a few hundred dollars or more just to have one designed, then another bucket full of cash to get it made. Well, I am currently working with a gentleman that's starting a small business, making custom soft plastic bait molds. He was looking for someone to take a look at his work, try them out, and evaluate some of them. I w...

There are no products on there!
Sorry about that, this is just getting off the ground, I’m currently working on a long form video on a custom mold I had him make for me, and that video will have his contact info, he didn’t have a website up and running when I made that video, sorry about that. I will tell you, all the ones I’ve been using are pretty nice.
@@Huntingforgills yea I figured and I wanted to possibly order one for my birthday that is coming up soon!
@@Thegolfkid2030 Email me a huntingforgills@gmail.com and I will send you a link to his website. He’s still working on it but you can contact him through it.
This is a nice little mould! However those ridges should have been deeper, like in the bellows gill
Thanks, and thanks for watching. These are actually for Ned Rigs, so they are pretty much just a short fat little worm, smallmouth seem to like them in crayfish colors, I did these in a clear with June Bug core because it showed up better on video. Thanks again.
Can’t stop watching this! 😆♥️🎶🦃🍗🍗🍗
So cool to see right out of the mold! 👍😁
@@WildintheCity Thanks for watching. More videos on the way.
Cool! 🎉❤👍
@@GretchenCarlson Thanks, and thanks for watching.
Nice Bait, cool video Subscribed 👍
Thanks, got plenty more in the works.
The point&shoot thermometers don't give you the temp of the plastic below the surface, I highly recommend getting a $10 digital probe/instant read thermometer. I use one from the grilling section at Wal*Mart, it takes temperature over about 5 seconds. Not instant-read, but pretty accurate. Edit: Forgot to mention, you might want to look at Do-it molds. They have an "Essential Series", cast aluminum molds for ~$50. I have 3 of them, another on the way. They're decent. You still need oil or mold release to get a good shine on the baits, but one spray will set you for 5-6 injections. Edit 2: Didn't see you had a second (and third) video up already, one covering your experiences with different types of thermometers. Whoops.
Thanks for watching, Whoops, I just read your whole edited comment after I finished my response, you can read it if you want, but, I also have a couple more videos on custom molds the works, the unboxing one should be tonight, and some shorts on some prototype molds are on the way too. Someone actually suggested that to me shortly after this video came out, so I did another video comparing the two different types of thermometers. While the point and shoot does only get the surface temp, it does work good if you check as you are mixing, or shooting a reading off your mixing knife after you have been mixing the plastic. The probe thermometer I was testing would take a while to get a steady reading (there are probably faster ones). I do find myself now using both when I'm mixing liquid plastisol, where making sure you're hitting the 350 degree range. Thanks again for watching.
I can’t stop watching- it’s mesmerizing! 😆😂🍗😋
They sure do create a distraction 😂.

When they're that fresh, you gotta start the brine right away 😂
Little early to fire up the grill.
Comment for the algo
@@jasontownsend6911 Thanks, took me a minute.
I would definitely be interested where can I purchase
@@Nick-yi9dr Thanks, this is a brand new startup, the molds are on there way to me now. Once they’re here I’ll try them and do a video review of them. Like I said it’s ground floor, he’s getting things in order, and I should have business contacts by the time the video is out. Subscribe and keep an eye out, hopefully something by the end of the week (actually next, since it’s Saturday). Thanks again for watching.
Well you lost me with the mayo and yogurt. You don't eat what you made is garbage to me. If anything you should have mixed the yogurt and mayo into the fish just not on top[ of it.
@@tomscorner3656 Well, that’s about where I lose people, that’s why I stopped telling them until they’ve tried it. Trust me, I did eat most of that myself, and it was my first cooking video. I thought it was one of the best batches I’ve made, and I have been making this 5 or 6 times a year for the last 25 years. I’m not sure how it would work mixed together though, the fish cooks in its own juices in the bottom of the pan. I appreciate the comments, I’ll eat what I cook next time on video, and see how that goes. Thanks again for watching.
June bug! 😂
Nice video sir. Ive been considering the molds on Amazon to get started myself ✌️🎣
@@MyAngleFishing Hey thanks for watching, hope you got something out of it. I also recently did an update video to this one, on the things I’ve learned since I made this one. I checked out your channel, and subscribed, I like what you’re about, and pray you have many more years of fishing ahead of you. I think you would probably enjoy making baits. I know do, in fact I just finished shooting footage tonight, for a video on packaging baits for the hobbyists. I feel that stone molds from Amazon are a good way to get into bait making without investing a ton of money. Feel free to reach out, and don’t forget to subscribe. Have a great night.
We want to see you take a bite!!! It looks delicious! 🤤 😊❤
@@GretchenCarlson Nobody wants to see me eat.
No we don't. Nothing is worse on a cooking channel or vlog than hearing the cook "MMMMMMM" or smack on their own food. Because the cook is going to diss himself on his own channel if it didn't turn out perfect? No. Every single online cook needs to stop ooohing and aaahing after shoveling it in their hole like their noises are more compelling to me cooking it than looking at a finished dish? He did it exactly right and everyone else should follow suit. Especially the cooks who try to talk while eating it and/or smacking into the mic.
@@Swearengen1980 I’m not eating on film, but I’m almost never satisfied with the way things are when they come off the smoker. Other people say it’s good, but I’m pretty hard on myself when it comes to low & slow cooking.
@@Huntingforgills In fairness, it can be hard to love your own BBQ for some of us. When you've been saturated in smoke for 12 hours, it just makes it less appealing than if someone else did it. But I also assume, if you're like me, if even 5% of that pork butt doesn't completely render out, you consider it a failure.
@@Swearengen1980 I have always been picky about what I make, and usually feel I could have done better. It’s hard for me to judge now, I survived a battle with throat cancer, a little over a year ago, and everything is dry to me, and my sense of taste really hasn’t gotten back to normal either. So there’s worse things than not enjoying your own BBQ. I do have a couple more recipes I want to make videos on, so keep an I out.
You need a temperature gun. So you actually know the temps of the plastic. Then you won't burn it
@@ThomasRay-qj4zm Thanks for the comment. You can check out my channel, I have another video on comparing thermometers, and of course the video that this is the update for, and I was just saying that you don’t need to get remelts as hot as liquid plastisol. Thanks for watching.
I actually like this video. I had know idea that the Ameriglo optic sent with the promo came with its own plate. I’m ready to put mine on now….thanks.
@@chriscorbray4457 You’re welcome. I had heard of a lot of issues with trying to get the right plates and miss matched screws, but they included the correct plate and screws, it went together perfectly on the first try. Thanks again for watching.
I’m putting mine on this weekend. I couldn’t tell, but does your dot line up with the front site…if not, how much higher does it land. I ask because I’ve had my PDP for almost a year now, and finally got pretty good with the sites it came with. You should add some range shooting or targets you used.
@@chriscorbray4457 Thanks again for watching. Yes your front sight should line up with the dot, and they should both line up with the white line in the center of the sight, as far as windage goes. For elevation, when you're looking at the dot, start dipping the gun down, and with the front and rear sights and the white line all lined up, the dot should settle right at the top the sights as the front sight disappears. Of course you will want to go give it a try at the range, but that should get you close. Hope that makes sense. Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions, I'll help if I can.
Hey Mike good job, I was wondering if you have considered using those A clamps or I think they maybe called Spring Clamps? They bite down pretty hard and seem like they would be quicker/easier to use. If anyone else has tried them leave a post letting us know how they work. 👍
I do have some, but I don’t think they are big enough. Might have to get a couple bigger ones, and do a comparison video. I did one comparing thermometers already. Working on a panfish cooking recipe video this week, keep an eye out. Thanks again for watching
I follow many other channels like this and you are truly the best. Waiting for the next video. ❤❤
Thanks, I really appreciate all the likes, comments, subscribers. Those things keep me working to improve. Thanks again for watching.
Best video ever 👌
Thanks, appreciate that, and thank for watching.
Man, in terms of oil, have you tried WD40? I shouldn't say it, but, accordingly to some old riverbank boys,works great also as scent for lures...
Yeah, I’ve heard that over the years, but I’ve never tried it. Maybe next time I’m on a hot bite I should spray my bait with some and see if they keep biting. Might make a good video. Thanks for watching.
@Huntingforgills , I was thinking in terms of lubricant for the mould with a view of having part of it left of the lure... not sure it's environmentally friendly solution as lure scent! 🤪
@@Marcuccioperca 🤣 yeah you’re probably right, funny some say all petroleum (gas, oil, and the like) repel fish, and I know I’ve heard the WD40 as an attractant from way back. I’m just finishing up fallow up video, where I talk about using cooking spray, probably be out tomorrow,Wednesday at the latest. Thanks again for checking it out, and commenting.
It’s easy to back up a boat,That’s what mirrors are for ,But there are boat owners that can’t drive ether on land or on water
@@StevenWDorn 🤣 You’re not lying brother. Thanks for watching.
You should make a course on different methods of filleting fish and we could vote on the best ones!
Me: What’cha doing? Mike: Just gonna go mow my lake! 😂 You’re funny! 😆 ❤
@@GretchenCarlson 🤣
❤❤❤❤ nice video ❤❤❤❤
Thanks, and thanks for watching.
Beautiful fish right there! Nice!
Thanks.
I am subscribing to your channel for more such awesome videos.
@@Randy5543-pz5sc Thanks, I appreciate everyone that watches, and subscribes. Just really getting started with the RUclips thing, and have been trying to get something out every week. Again, thanks for watching.
There is a perfection and professionalism in your fishing that is truly admirable, and you are a master at this.
@@Kyle-zn5cw Thanks for the comments, I’m new to the RUclips thing, and appreciate every view, like, comment, and subscription. Thanks again.
Nice looking fishy! 🎣🐠😋
@@GretchenCarlson Thanks 😉
That's not a big one
Thank for watching. On that lake 7” is about as big as you see, so 8.75” is one of the big ones.
Thanks for the heads up on that filet knife.
@@dentalnovember I love mine, and have been thinking about getting smaller version. Just got to keep an eye on the back side when you start using one, I may, or may not have cut myself on the back of it once or twice. Thanks for watching, and commenting.
And don’t forget to subscribe if you haven’t already. Tight Lines.
Great filleting and very straight forward. Going to check out that cooking video when you get it done.👍
@@TravisInCanada1 Thanks for watching, and commenting. We like eating fish, but my wife isn’t a big fan of deep frying, so I have a few ways of making fish that don’t involve the deep fryer. Thanks again.
350 degrees its faringet?
@@legendflyorgil1513 Thanks for watching, and yes it’s 350 degrees Fahrenheit. I’ve also learned since I started that the 350 degrees is more for using liquid plastisol. The liquid plastisol requires that temp to cause the chemical reaction to change from liquid to a solid. Just about any Themp that turns the baits you’re remelting into a liquid will work, usually around 250 degrees or so. Good luck, and again thanks for watching.

I really enjoyed every second of your videos. I am also a fishing lover like you.
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it. Subscribes, likes, and comments are very much appreciated after working all day. Thanks again.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful video
Thanks for watching, it's great hearing from viewers. As always, likes, comments, and new subscribers are much appreciated. Thanks again
Interesting video ❤❤❤
Thanks for watching. Always like reading comments from viewers, and appreciate the comments, likes, and subscribes. thanks again.
Try the gulp trout worms they rock.
Can you say ta ta ta ta tiny bass!
@@kyleanderson9453 You know me, if it weren’t for tiny bass, I wouldn’t have anything 🤣
I always shoot the temp as I'm stirring, found it gives more accurate reading. Also if your shooting stone molds check to make sure you are not clamping over the vent holes
Thanks for watching, I’ve been getting some feedback from viewers, and appreciate the input. I’m learning as I go, and I’m thinking about doing another video on what I’ve learned since this one. Thanks again.
@@Huntingforgills sounds like a great idea. Can't wait to see it
Nice
@@KevinLaundry See wasn’t that hard, now spread the word, need more subscribers.
Hey bro, thank you so much for giving us this awesome adventure fishing video 😊
@@MarkJones-lr7yh Thanks. The two of us fish together a lot locally, but we make a trip to the Rainy River every year in early spring for a shot at trophy walleye, and then another trip to Namakan for giant smallmouth in the fall. Thanks again for watching.
Use small c clamps to hold your molds f clamps won't hold the pressure.
Thanks for watching, I’ll give C clamps a try. Thanks again for watching.
lol Step 1: Buy a boat and a trailer.
Sounds obvious, but you ever waited 40 minutes at the ramp, watching someone in a pickup from U-Haul trying to get a rental jet ski on, or off a trailer? 😅
Just awesome video 😀
Thanks. It was a great trip, I was glad I had cameras running. Thanks again for watching.
WHOOOOOOOPS! 😵💫🛥
@@GretchenCarlson Hey there, thanks for watching, and your comments , and support.
I don't know what any of that tackle is your'e talking about in the video...But, Bass are so pretty! 🎣😀
@@GretchenCarlson Keep watching, I’ll be going into more detail on descriptions, and techniques of different types of baits and lures in up coming videos.
I really appreciate your video ❤❤
Thanks the comment, more content coming. Thanks for watching.
