it was back in May. tail end of herring spawn.

Very cool! That is the bait you want for sure but the originals like the one you have are difficult to find. The original Sebile magic swimmers are one of the best herring swimbaits out there. I think the Sebiles are better than the Berkley magic swimmer due to quality and the swimming action. Don’t get me wrong though the new Berkley magic swimmer catches fish as well and has some great colors. What color Sebile do you have?

@@campetro10 I have to find the original package on my attic to say exact color name. But it looks silverish/shiner with a chartreuse on the tail part. Now I recall exactly, I bought this lure right after Todd Faircloth won Elite Series tournament in 2008. Never caught a fish on it, it looks like new, I think I used it once. I also had soft plastic Magic Swimmers, but sold them on EBay. At that time, I thought I could catch/slam spots better on Vision 110. Now the jerkbaits are not working that well for me. Do you think spots in general faster reaction fish compare to LMB, the spots tend to chase very fast moving baits and largemouth tend to be slower reaction, lazier fish?

@@WarEagleTheBest that sounds like a fantastic color. you should hold on to that bait and throw it for sure! it will get bit. i agree with you there, i think a lot of fish are getting conditioned to the jerkbait more and more. it worked better for me 4 or 5 years ago. i definitely think both spotted bass and largemouths will react to a bait but the spots are way faster and thats why 9/10 times you catch a spotted bass on the faster reaction baits. they beat the largemouth to the bait if they are mixed together. generally though largemouth are more of the lazier bass

Thank you! I appreciate the support. I like the 6” for spotted bass lakes and tournament fishing. I prefer the 8” on largemouth lakes where I’m fun fishing for a big fish. I have tried both and imo the magdraft is head and shoulders better than both of those options. However, I have caught fish on all of them. I think the magdraft swims the best though for what I am looking for in a soft body swimbait.

@@applejuice-3341 it’s a cool fishery. How did you do?

@@campetro10 got a limit both days but the size was not great. We got there before the prespawn got good and all the fish were just loaded up in the ditches. Dude who won just scoped them using a glide bait in the ditches.pretty neat

@@applejuice-3341 man that’s pretty cool. Sounds like fun

@@ZachRamseyFishing it’s actually a fun lake😂 I enjoy fishing there.

@@campetro10 yeah it definitely has its fun moments

completely agreed. they are not durable at all BUT they work... wish they made them more robust.

been fishing and traveling! working on a few videos right now.

@@campetro10keep up the good content man! Love to see it!

@@ronniegarrison9354 hey Ronnie! Thanks for reaching out! I do not see a message from you on Facebook… could you please send another message? I will be looking for it. Thanks.

Very cool! February is a fun time on lanier. It will be winter time patterns maybe early pre spawn. Laurel is way up the river but I would head down bellow browns bridge if you want a chance to win. I have a number of winter time videos up on my channel. I would check those out for lures and techniques!

@@campetro10 thank you sir!

@@demboyzfishin1389 thanks for watching and good luck with the tournament! Let me know if you have any additional questions as you watch the videos.

@@campetro10 any suggestions on ramps below Browns Bridge to put in when I come down to practice?

@@demboyzfishin1389 depends on what side of the lake you are on but I would say vans tavern or Charleston park. They are both central lake so you could go up or down for practice.

25 feet and shallower for the most part.

@@BeagleFerretTime yes pretty close! Pearl white is the way to go. Catches some giants!

@@Zanehoward88 yep you are correct! All of the creeks are fantastic in the spring but that pocket happened to produce that day. It’s a good one!

@@campetro10 we camp there a month out of every summer but I’m going to try to get up there in the spring this year. I usually fish around home in Loganville in the spring but I want to hit Lanier hard next spring. Is the fall bite good there too.? I’ve only fished it in the summer.

@@Zanehoward88 very nice! It’s a fun place to fish year round but spring is wild. Yes, the fall can be a great time as well. The NPFL came to lanier last fall and had solid weights. It can be tough but still plenty of fish and big ones.

@@danmcmanigal1978 fantastic! Hope it helps for sure! Let me know how you do. I love Hartwell it’s a fun lake. October should be a great time to fish.

It entirely depends on the model that you get. For the 852 spinning rod it is perfectly balanced the 872 is definitely tip heavy. Wow those are huge fish! There are some monster fish in lanier. It’s a fun lake

Good to know. Do they swim well? I have never tried them

Thank you! It’s Hammonds Fishing. Those swimbaits are tough to get though. They sell out quickly.

right now a lot of fish are on points and humps. if you fish these areas with a topwater or swimbait you will get bit. there are a ton of fish especially on the points. focus on 15-25 ft. of water

@campetro10 thank you so much I've been going often but no bites or anything

Great idea!

On lanier hands down a topwater lure. Nothing like a school of spotted bass coming up and destroying a topwater lure. I like a lucky graft gunfish, a super spook, or vixen in chrome or natural herring colors.

Do you normally fish shallow waters or deep waters on Lanier? And what type of top waters do you catch the most on? Whopper ploppers, chatter bait, jitterbugs, etc

@@philipbruce2161 depends on time of year and the conditions but mostly deep. i fish both deep and shallow though. i would say walking baits or whopper plopper

During the spawn the fish will move up in shallower pockets on rock and under docks.

Love the info! Agree with you all the way. Shimano and gloomis all the way for bottom contact and finesse baits. You get what you pay for. If you spend a little more on the front and take care of them they will last forever.

no problem! you dont get anything without asking. i would assume this is on lake lanier??

@@campetro10 yes sir. Thanks for responding. I primarily fish the south end of the lake.

@@kirkoliver1002 I’ll take a look next time I am at my unit next week but if you go out to the main lake or any creek and graph a point or hump from 15-25ft deep you will find brush. It is literally everywhere on the lake. It’s tougher to see on sidescan as you are looking for the shadow created by the brush but it’s all over the place.

fishing can be so rewarding and so humbling at times. i honestly just had that thought the other week at clarks hill only catching 11 lbs! bigger picture though i had a blast with a friend, got to enjoy the outdoors and day on the water, see wildlife, and got to fish so all in all not bad. trust me ive been in your shoes many times though wondering why i spend money on these fish.

yes i definitely can do that. is there a specific swimbait or type of swimbait you want to see? i posted the multi-jointed swimbait video going over most of those specific details.

What conditions you look for to fish certain glides and where you are fishing them. You had mentioned the Tater Hog and 316 Glides in past videos. When you throw those over bigger soft swimbaits? What conditions are you looking for to throw those glides, water visibility, wind, how fish are they setting up on sonar? Suspended, near bottom, relating to structure? Are you setting those fish up with different lures before throwing the bigger glides?

Also film your retrieves you use with the different glides. Anything you do differently with followers? Just some ideas, appreciate it.

Just your overall approach, what conditions you look for and when to go shallow and deep. I realize some of that will be seasonal.

great ideas. yes i can compile those details. will be a very in depth video so give me some time

Thanks! Always something to learn and take away to get better

This was April 20th.

@@campetro10 Thanks was interested cause I have an event up there this weekend

@@cliff1422 cool! Let me know how it goes. What event is it?
