The work you put in to filming and studying bass behavior then sharing what you learned with us is very much appreciated and priceless info! Definitely helps me out
Hey Mr seals I have a nickname for Steve I call him the professor I mean this guy is unbelievable the videos he shares with us I agree with you 110 percent absolutely outstanding pros don't give you this kind of information. have a great fishing season this year and God bless you and your family.
@@michaelloucks4448 yes it's very impressive what the professor does! There's so much valuable information on what he shares with us! Thank you for the well wishes for the fishing season and wish the same for you my friend! God bless you and your family!!
I am often amazed at how much life is in and around the boat ramps! Our ramps don't have rip rap for prop wash (which they really need!) but there are channels dredged out to accommodate the boat traffic. Those bass love to set up along the edge of the channels. To them, it's another type of deep water access.
Very informative video!!! I guess I've been fishing them wrong but now I know the proper way to attack a boat ramp. Look out here I come!!!! Thanks Steve!!!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!!!
Thinking outside of the box when it comes to transitions. I was trying to do the same the other day by doing something different. The lake I was fishing did not have docks just tie up poles with pontoons. Cover is cover and shade is shade. I fished the sides of the pontoons that was close together. Managed to catch a nice one. Just like the ramps being overlooked many areas go unnoticed also. Thanks for this lesson. Really enjoy it
You can find and catch lots of kinds of saltwater fish around boat ramps too. Snook, tarpon, cudas, sharks, catfish and others are attracted to ramps and especially if there's a fish cleaning table. They're tough to fish around when people are launching boats but at night you can catch fish around ramps. I watched a friend walk right off the dock one night, not paying attention to where he was walking. I looked down and his hat was floating but Chris was gone for a couple seconds 😂. We didn't catch any fish but I think he caught a good buzz that night 😜.
I forgot about the fish cleaning stations. That would definitely attract a lot of attention. Being from the midwest I haven’t done a lot of saltwater fishing. I know I’m missing out.
@@SteveRogersOutdoors oh yeah you absolutely should do more saltwater fishin'. You never know what you'll catch, the fish fight harder, they're more aggressive, and to me they taste better. Plus lakes are cool but nothing like a nice beach or going out in a boat in the saltwater. There are places in Florida where you can catch saltwater and freshwater fish together, you would probably really enjoy South Florida. The possibilities are endless there for different species and habitat. So go down there and get hooked on the saltwater and brackish game, it's incredible.
The very first check I ever cashed was on that lake many years ago. And you are so right - there is rock everywhere. If I remember correctly, the best fish I caught there came off a log. Something a little different. I just love those Ozark lakes. Really enjoy fishing Norfork too. Caught some giant stripers there.
@@SteveRogersOutdoors Yes Sir, wood is a precious commodity in Bull. Look around the lake, all the points have stumps where guys chain-sawed the trees and drug em out at night. Let the water get high and you'll hear the saws at night. Get on those fresh trees while they still have alot of oxygen and it's ON! I like Norfork as well for Striper and Walleye.
As a bank guy, soon to be a boat guy, this is one of my favorite places... many times I've stood by as boats launched and roared away to look for bass and then hammered them right there😅
Definitely worth a few cast * I have actually witnessed early in the morning * The water boiling with crawfish * on the ramp * not alot but over the years a few times * At 1 particular lake * thanks *
Canada is one place I have only fished one time and that was the Boundary Waters area in Minnesota. Caught some huge smallmouth there! Are you still iced up or has it melted?
Still ice some area.. I know we have short warm weather here and long winter 😄 all good next month 2nd Saturday is walleye season and 3rd Saturday of June is bass season I can't wait 🤙

I am so glad it helps! I sure have fun doing them.
@@SteveRogersOutdoors you do a great job
Yep , always great content and quality.

They are so packed with a lot of things happening in such a small area.
I love how you just get to the point! THANK YOU! Great info and please keep it coming!
Thanks so much! I will do my best.
That is great footage Steve. I have caught 5lbers around boat ramps before. Now I know why. Thanks for your awesome content!!
Thank you for watching!
Very informative video!!! I guess I've been fishing them wrong but now I know the proper way to attack a boat ramp. Look out here I come!!!! Thanks Steve!!!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!!!
I used to always throw to the ramp part first until I started filming them. Then I reversed things too. Thanks for watching!

Thanks Steve I'm a new subscriber love the content great job look forward to more of your videos.God bless.
Thank you!
Thank You Steve ! Boat ramps also are often deeper parts of the bank in the lake or river. ( key drop offs ) 🐟🐟🐟
Love fishing boat ramps. I fished all day during a tournament on one boat ramp. Finished 2nd in that tournament.
That is awesome!
Amazing video, as usual. Love this channel. Thank you, Steve!
Thanks!
Thank you Steve. Very informative.
Thank you!
Interesting take on boat ramps, Thank you 👍
Thanks for taking the time to watch.
Great video! Appreciate you sharing!
Thank you!
Hey, Steve, pray you are well. I always cast to a boat ramp. Great advice, bud, be safe
I am well! Hope everything is good there too. Have caught a lot of fish off those ramps for sure. So fun.
Thanks😊❤❤❤
Thank you for making this!
You're welcome! And thank you for watching.
Great as usual
Thanks!
I noticed one time pulling out at 10pm using a big spot light and was amazed at the amount of crayfish that were out I mean like hundreds.
That’s a feeding frenzy! That had to be interesting to see.
Great video
Thank you!

Makes sense
A lot of times your small club tournaments return bass by ramp along with bait fishermen doing the same!
That makes for a lot of fish in a small area!
And then there are lakes like my home lake, Bull Shoals where the whole lake is rock everywhere in the entire lake. 😊
The very first check I ever cashed was on that lake many years ago. And you are so right - there is rock everywhere. If I remember correctly, the best fish I caught there came off a log.

That would be awesome to witness!
In some Puerto Rico’s boat ramps, you can see big peacock bass.
That would be awesome!
I leave in ontario canada I wish I have uncle in states to visit and fish there all day 😊
Canada is one place I have only fished one time and that was the Boundary Waters area in Minnesota. Caught some huge smallmouth there! Are you still iced up or has it melted?
Still ice some area.. I know we have short warm weather here and long winter 😄 all good next month 2nd Saturday is walleye season and 3rd Saturday of June is bass season I can't wait 🤙
I always throw something across and around the boat ramps before I even crank up the motor..
That is a great strategy!
slime grows on the concrete boat ramps then shad feed on it and the here come the bass
Gotta love it! Thank you.
