    This video supports the thesis that 20% of fishermen catch 80% of the fish. You methodically went through lure choices until you found the one that worked. Most would have moved on and plodded along casting the same lure the locals claimed worked. Great video on making the day productive via persistence and experimentation.
    I also noted that you finally found a pair of LONG pants to wear. Kudos.

    Great video. I am very familiar with the spot you were in. Years ago that creek was amazing, always produced a lot a Bass. However the creek suffered two really bad blow tides and the fishing has yet to be the same. I usually go down stream from that location. I pretty much only target Snakehead these days. PB is at 18.6 and was delicious.

Your videos are getting me pumped for my move to Melbourne Florida next week to chase my dreams and hobbies of catching fish and crab trapping and being on the water as much as possible! Quick question for you, How long of a leader line do you typically use and do you keep the knot out of eyes and reel?

    • @FishAholicTV
      @FishAholicTV  4 года назад +4

      Thanks man! And sorry to hear. For some of those baits on any given day the fish might want the retrieval different. Alternating the retrieve regularly until you get a bite is the best advice I can give probably. Reel faster, reel slower, try two little jigs then a pause, try one jig etc... the fish will let your know. Never get fixated on one retrieval and you’ll be on the right path. Tight Lines 🤙🏻

    Your first and last catfish where "White Catfish" or, according to us locals, White Bullheads. You should have kept them. They're plentiful and probably the best breakfast food you'll ever eat! Fry the fillets in butter, cover with grits, an egg, butter and honey (and a biscuit to clean your plate). Man... that's live'n!
