I appreciate you cramming these facts into a short video and not stretching it out into a 20 min monologue
That's really interesting. I know a lot of anglers who'll throw a frog at pads until their arms fall off, even if they aren't getting bit. They usually beat themselves up over it as they change colors and frog types while wasting hours of time. But it turns out there were probably never really any fish under those pads. I bet those bass are probably right under their boat, lol!
I know that exact thing has happened to me. I get so excited for a frog bite I try to force it way too long.
Steve, I thoroughly enjoy your channel. Your content is unique and informative. But it's you. Your level of "genuinism" is unmatched. Great job!
Thank you! I appreciate it.
Your underwater footage makes your channel one my top favorites! I don't think there is a better way to learn more from our fisheries, bass & habitats.
I really enjoy filming these. It is so fun to observe and put into practice.
I needed this video. I am guilty of fishing in the pads without success a lot of the times, on my home rivers.👍
It is so easy to get pulled in close. Sometimes they are great, but I often forget to check other stuff. Lol.
Keep grinding, the subs will come. 5 minute vids with underwater content is a great recipe. Carry on sir and we'll be watching.
Steve, your channel is now my "go-to-first," b/c your vids are short, packed with usable information, and contain underwater footage that is invaluable.
Thank you! I really appreciate that and thanks so much for watching.
This was a great lesson about not getting to focused on one cover and missing the forest for the pads / trees 😊
Of course, I always learn the hard way. Lol. Then I back off and I think to myself why didn't I check this earlier.
I subscribed because you are a matter of factual and it's not a 40 min video of the same topic. Simple look for current fish out side. No hits, start fish pads. Thank you. This is actually very informative and a well prepared educational video. Thank you
I appreciate that!
I learned a long time ago that another part of the “big picture” is to determine the structural elements underneath the pads. Some pads sit right on top of prime structure or other cover, like stumps or lay downs, that make them better targets. Those things are harder to find because of the pads, but are worth looking for.
Thanks for adding this!
In this tiny lake I fish often, there are two lily pad clusters. I've never caught a fish in one and ALWAYS catch at least one nice fish in the other. The difference is there's structure under one.
I’ve always known stagnant water is not great for bass but I’ll admit…I get sucked into the pads and what might be under them.
Great job proving that moving out a bit May be better sometimes. Fantastic underwater drone footage.
Thanks! It is a lot of fun to film.
Great video Steve!!! That was awesome to see how the bass come out of the pads and hang around in the current. Thanks for sharing those tips!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!!
Thanks you!
This explains perfectly why when I fish the lazy small rivers here I don't get the same results from pad fields along the edges as on the lakes and ponds I am usually on. I have been finding fish along channel edges but keep going back to old habits. I am def adding this change of focus to the play book.
Good luck! It was definitely interesting to witness.
I've definitely found the edge of the pads to be more productive in many cases. That transition between pads and sparser vegetation makes great ambush points for the bass, they can sit in slack(er) water under the pads in the shade and hunt the bait that floats by in the current.
So much fun!
respect for wearing a lifejacket / PFD
Thanks! I try to remember.
Thank you for another great underwater video of what is really happening in different situations. Ideas for the next trip.
I hope it is useful!
Thank you Steve
Another nice video Steve. Really like watching and listening to your content. Gives me another technique to try
Glad it was helpful!
Love your channel. You provide great info that I have used and increased my catch ratio. Thanks!!!!!
That is so good to hear! Thanks for letting me know.
Love the info here. Question, did you find the bass more up current of the pads? Or down current? Wasn’t sure if they were letting the current drive the stuff from under the pads out to them, or if they were just out from under with no direct correlation to the pads. Thanks!
That is a great question. These particular fish were sitting down current just a bit from the pads.
@@SteveRogersOutdoors thank you for the reply!
Great video! Really like all of the under water footage!
Thank you!
Gracias
Steve as always very informative and useful info.
Thanks!
I can’t think you enough. I just stumbled across your videos. I wish I saw these last summer. What state are you from? I’m fishing in the Northeast in Connecticut. Will your techniques and information work in all bodies of water?
I am located in northern Illinois. These should apply to all bodies of water. Thanks so much for watching!
Great video Steve!
Thanks!
Thank you Steve!
Thanks for watching!
Hey, Steve, pray you are well. I have no Lilly pads. 😂. Be safe and great video
We have to get you up here to fish the Upper Mississippi with me some time! I think you would really enjoy it. One of my favorite places to fish of all time.
Great video and information Steve. Definitely learned from this. Thanks for sharing! #SteveRogersOutdoors rocks!!!
Thanks you!
I caught a bluegill today and fed him to a giant snapping turtle. Is that ok?
This is deep though!
Thanks Steve for clarifying oxygen trumps darkness. I only leaned the other day bass eat plants and algae, though I could not find any RUclips video of bass eating it ?
That is something I have not run across either. Yes, the current flow and oxygen are something I have done my best to pay much more attention to recently. So far, it has paid off - at least my confidence in that has gotten a lot better.
OK, so before I watch this, I'll say I've never caught anything off the top of lily pads, but have done pretty good around the edges, at times...
I think you’ll like this one then. Thanks for watching!
👍👍👍👍👍
So basically, bass are anywhere but not everywhere.
