    Come on Dieter, as good fishermen we all know there is so much more involved, what we had for breakfast, the correct fishing socks and shirt, the right ball cap(very important one), don't shower for a few days, the direct correlation between how much money we recently spent on new fishing gear and how many we catch, (thats usually in inverse correlation), which rod holder we used, how many fishing poles we own in total, how many tackle boxes we own, can we outfit an entire football team to go fishing for a week.
    Then theres voodo, and what we promised God if he would just give us that Big fish, Its a very complicated process. 😊

    I use peg floats and rattling dragging weights. It seems to be a good combo for me. Hook size is my daily dilemma. I used 6/0 for years and caught fish up to 50 pounds. Then I lost what was probably a hundred pound class fish beside the boat when it pulled, so I went to 10/0. Now after missing so many bites I’m back to a 6/0. Putting a lot of fish in the boat but I figure one day I’ll be in for another disappointment.

  • @dannycornett6151
    @dannycornett6151 21 день назад +3

    Thanks for another good one. But for me I always do better with foam or wood floats. The spook style float I have trouble with bigger baits. And as for raddles I have noticed shallow water seems the rattle does spook the fish more.

    • @DieterMelhorn
      @DieterMelhorn  21 день назад +1

      I’m starting to believe they can spook fish when anchored shallow based on my cursory observations.

    I usually run then both. Where I fish I can only have 3 rods out at once. So I'll usually run 1 spook and 2 Santee rigs. Depending on how they're hitting it I'll keep or change my one of them to either or.

    I can't use those kinda rigs because the bottom of the river is so rocky I would just be throwing money away.
    I actually just use old rusted nuts and bolts with a three way rig with light line on the weight. That way when I catch a fish I don't lose the fish.
    Hopefully the flooding river clears out the hole below my parents house this year where there are not so many flat rocks

    • @madtownangler
      @madtownangler 21 день назад

      @@DieterMelhorn I fish from shore on rivers usually so the floats just end up floating away from where the fish are. Luckily I only fish there a few times a year. I mostly now just fish there with topwater baits for bass. Every once in a while we take the canoe catamaran off the dam and fish with bobbers though because we can keep the bait in the zone.
      Where I fish at home is a lake and have no problem fishing anyway I want to though.

    So I've always noticed that when I put a regular cork on I get bite sometimes it depends it's lije the water has to be moving a certain way but for the most part I catch the biggest fish and the most fish off of just a regular Carolina rig with no flow no ride on all that chunky rig stuff I've never got one on and if I did it was really small so idk man I don't waste my money on that shit
