Summer Cranking And Taking A Spill At Lake Lanier
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- In this video we are at Lake Lanier in early June throwing crank baits for bass. At certain times the fish key in on different things to feed on. On this day they were keying in on crawfish so the Spro Rock Crawler was the bait of choice. Be sure to watch until the end to see me face plant into my camera tripod and embarrass myself. Thanks for watching! Make sure you subscribe so you don't miss an episode!

Hey man! Don’t even worry about falling into that boat! Keep up the great work! I’m thankful for your videos!
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!
Nothing to be embarrassed about Dana, too bad about the fall - glad you didn’t go overboard. Glad you were able to get on to some nice fish after that.
Thanks! I get frustrated with all of the falling, but it could always be worse.
I have balance issues too, and those boats can be hazardous, especially when you catch some big waves while you're bending over. I've started wearing a life vest because of it. I've always had the vest in the boat, but not on usually. Glad you didn't seriously hurt yourself. I have a good quality tripod you can have if you want it. I bought a better one, so it is not being used. Let me know if you want it, and we'll make arrangements to meet somewhere or I can drop it off for you on the Gainesville side of the lake.
Thanks, but I've already ordered another tripod. Amazon has them pretty cheap. I need to start wearing a life jacket, but usually don't because of the camera on my chest and the mics too.
Brother...sorry about your fall. At least you stayed in the boat. It happens to the best of us....old age AND falls. Keep putting out great vids man, I'll keep watching!
Thanks! I haven't gone for a swim yet, so it could be worse.
Nice 3 fish at the end !!!
Thanks 👍
Tough day!! But you hung tough!!!
Embarrassing, but we caught some nice fish.
Hey I'm so glad you're ok. I fished Little River on Saturday morning. Caught a few on topwater.
Glad you caught some. I live very close to LR.
Zane is killing it 😂
I was talking about his little 4 inch fish 😉
Be careful out there and keep casting. Thanks for everything you do to make us better at doing what we love.
Thanks for watching!
Man, your eyes told everyone where you were headed. Definately a KODAK MOMENT.
Absolutely!
What's a good brother for to make another cast! Lol, glad ur ok for the most part. Tight lines.
Thanks!
Good news is your rod of reel isn't broken. Me and my fishing buddy both have those days. I keep my inflatable life vest on all the time now. Good video.
I'm surprised I didn't break my rod. I think I bruised my ego, though.
Dang Dana, That hurt me what you fell!! I hope that soreness gets to feeling better quick man!! I'm just glad you are ok brother. Looks like y'all caught some great fish, but I'm just glad you weren't seriously injured, like a broken leg or something!! Stay safe brother!!!!
Thanks! No broken bones yet, hopefully I can avoid that. I'm a tough old bird, but my balance is shot.
Dana, it happens. Don't be embarrassed. Just focus on your health and keep catching those fish!
Thanks! That's about all I can do!
Easy does it Dana. Be deliberate in your moves on and off the boat. Keep your balance points. I'm quite a bit older than you and I've learned not to rush around the boat, trailer. Too easy to hook myself or trip, lose balance. Can I send you a few bucks to restock your equipment?
Thanks, but I'll figure something out for the new equipment. Unfortunately, I have some health issues that have affected my balance. It is pretty frustrating.
@@FCPFishing OK Dana. I think I remember that your issues are the after-effects of COVID or another malady from a couple of years ago. I agree that the longer we live, the more issues we tally, and some can be awful. Still, it's better to be here and able to fish than no longer be around. Be well.
@@jamesf1525 Yes, I'm still having issues from a bad Covid experience. I'm lucky to still be here, they were thinking I wasn't going to make it. It sure messed me up, and continues to do so.
Glad you’re okay Dana. Definitely could have been worse, and I have learned you’re just gonna have days on the water where things don’t go right. Y’all caught some nice fish bud.
It sure could have been worse. Thanks for watching!
“Sure U got the fish” 🤣. Zane was worried bout that fish as much as U, lol. If U fish enough, EVERYONE will take that fall
Thats the 3rd time in a couple months for me, its getting old.
Trying to avoid falling I purchased a step system this spring for the bow. I had enough crawling in and out holding on to the boat and trailer frame. Heck even my 27 year old son said it’s the best investment I’ve made. Just yesterday I ordered a boarding ladder for the transom. You never know which way you’re going to fall. Sir be careful out there.
We just use a small step ladder to get in the boat. Works pretty good. I seem to be able to hit the deck even if I'm sitting in the seat. I try to fish sitting down as much as I can, but sometimes you have to stand to work the bait correctly.
Thank GOD Zane was there, Zane caught a HUGE Largie, what crankbait was he using, be careful Dana, enjoyed your vid.
Thanks 👍 Zane was using a Rock Crawler that was the PB and J color.
@@FCPFishing Good morning Dana, THANKS for responding and sharing, I hope you are better after that fall, be careful in the boat today 🎣
@@chaunceydavis5290 Thanks Chauncey! I'm sore but it could have been worse.
@@FCPFishing You are so right my friend, just always be aware of your surroundings, I look forward to fishing with you some day 🎣
Put in at Balus, caught one 2 1/2 lber, left at 12:30, rained until I left and sun came out
I fished farther north and did pretty good. It was actually a little chilly after I got soaked.
All that time on the water and you still don't have your sea-legs. Getting old sucks. My knees are too shot to do any real backpacking anymore and I had a major back injury years ago that still hinders me. A tripod can be replaced. No lasting injuries and you stayed dry. Its kind of funny that Zane was more upset that you didn't keep the fish hooked.
My list of maladies is longer than I would like, but I refuse to give in.
Me an my buddy fish wahoo a lot but we just don’t catch the fish yall catch. Would love to meet u an Zain out one day…. Yall absolutely kill it!! We always watch yall before we go fishing and even while we are fishing lol… can u go over the crank your using a tell us the kind
Spro Rock Crawler. Any of the colors that have chartreuse on it is working good right now. Thanks for watching!
It’s a good thing you had someone with you! Glad you’re ok. We’re only human plus l don’t like laughing at other people getting hurt
Me either, but I can sure laugh at myself. Thanks!
The reality of getting older, schick happens ! I’ve developed neuropathy in my feet and my balance is not that great either. Like you, my videos include the good the bad and the ugly. These kind of things happen to all of us not everyone is man enough to show it. Glad you didn’t break your leg…. Just bruised your ego. Still a good day out on the water.
Unfortunately, I have some issues still from getting sick so bad a couple years back. One lung is collapsed and one leg/foot is all messed up from a blood clot that turned to scar tissue and has blocked the blood flow. If it weren't for that I would be fine.
Ironically, you have on a gravity shirt. Lol
Mean old mister gravity!
Wow, the fall could have been worse. It looked to me like your foot got hung on the chair post. Guess if you had fallen out of the boat the water would have been softer but you might have lost your rod. Would be better than breaking a rib.
It sure could have been worse. At least I didn’t break my rod.
Glad you’re ok Dana. Be careful out there, especially when on the boat by yourself.
Thanks. That's the plan. I need to start wearing a life jacket, but the cameras and mics are in the way. I'll have to figure something out.
I feel in the lake in February, because of the stump that I didn’t see. Unfortunately someone saw me and I was so embarrassed
Yes, it is embarrassing. This is the 3rd time I've fallen in the last couple months while in the boat. My balance isn't very good anymore.
Leave that camera alone, We don't care if you miss a shot my friend, We love to see you fish. Hope you are okay. how deep were you cranking? Asking for a friend.
The Rock Crawler packaging says they go down to 14 feet, but realistically I think it's maybe 10. You want to be digging in the rocks. We fished points that drop off quickly into deeper water. We threw shallow, but most of the bites came out a ways, maybe 8 to 12 feet deep.
What pound line do you use on your top water plug ?
14 lb Gamma fluorocarbon.
@@FCPFishing is that just a leader line or all on spool??
The way you cast it with 14lbs fluorocarbon looks easy.
Well everything happens when you least expect it sorry for you losing your balance but it seems it turned out pretty good for y'all and fishing was tough but it's still it turned out to be a pretty good day for y'all me and my brother-in-law we had some issues with a fish grabbing top water and tuck it under and hung it on a tree
Thanks. It could have been worse.
If you are falling with that much frequency, please dont fish by yourself. I fell in Lake Neely Henry about 3 or 4 years ago but mine because of the tow of a flip flop. I no longer fish with flip flops on. Be safe out there.
I'm going to fish as much as I can, I just have to learn how to deal with the complications I have with one of my legs/feet. I need to start wearing a life jacket.
I am so sorry. It hurts more the older we get. I know from experience
Thanks! I'm still pretty sore, but it could have been worse.
Where you on the north end or the south end or the southern end
Always on the north end.
I don't know how RUclips knows to put some ads mid fall!
They seem top put the ads right at the most compelling moment.
I noticed that too, lol
The commercial hit me right at the fall too.
Nice largemouth Zane! No more falls! You got some nice fish tho!
Thanks 👍
If you’ve fallen 3 times in a month you should be wearing a life jacket.
You are right, and we have them in the boat. I make no claims of being very smart.
Maybe you should get an inflatable, they’re less intrusive while fishing, even one of the fanny pack ones is better than not wearing one
You might need to start wearing an inflatable lifejacket have a great day🐟💦💦💦😎
I know I should. I'll have to find one.
Sorry you're having issues but you caught some good fish! Be careful!
I try. Starting to get concerned though.
I sure hope that if you go out by yourself you do put on a life jacket . Sorry I'm a worrier 😘
I know I probably should, and thanks for caring. I'm a worrier too.
