Thanks I appreciate it! Glad you liked it. And yeah definitely, use that bait recipe and you’ll hook up for sure! Yeah come say what’s up if you see us 😎
Adjust it higher or lower? But thanks for watching. I usually dial my drag in depending on what I’m fishing for. But I tend to leave it looser than usual when buff fishing because if the drag is too tight, it can cause stress on the hair rig to break & as well as pulling the hook from the fishes mouth. Too tight is bad because when the fish wants to go on a run & it’s too tight, you risk something going wrong. If you wanna horse them in ok, but I like to let the fish run when it wants too. And not take too much of a risk losing the fish.
I had an 8’ and 9’ in this video that were like medium heavy action. Since then I’ve upgraded to a higher end carp rod. But as long as it’s not too stiff of a rod, it will work fine. And I use 40lb braid for these fish.
Nice buffs! It is real corn that you’re using on the hair rig or is it fake? I tried using real corn on my hair rig but it just falls apart and cant seem to stay on.
I do use the artificial corn, I usually put like one or two of the artificial on the rig & then several real pieces of corn. The key is to have the needle, you can Pierce the reel corn in the middle of the kernel & slide it off onto the hair rig using the needle tool. It doesn’t stay on as long, but as long as you don’t cast it off it should stay on long enough to get bites. I also put some on the hook. I’ll do a video soon of how I do my setup to help out. 👍🏽😎
Congrats on the buffs, please consider buying an unhooking mat to protect these gems when on the bank
Thanks! Yea I’ll have to consider that.
Yes you can get a landing mat or some guys use yoga mats either one would be better then laying them on the rocks gotta practice good carp care.
That’s where I caught my first 🤘🏼 nice video man !
Yeah man it’s an awesome spot. Can’t wait to go back again soon. Thanks! 😎
Sick video! I live in Manor so I'll have to give this a shot. Hope to see you out there, man!

@@Dunnoutdoors I definitely will! I hope to see more of your videos, I'll be using all your tips and tricks in the Austin area!
I definitely appreciate you keeping up with all the videos. I wanna fish Austin more, definitely will be back for more buffs & largemouth.
Nice video I caught a nice one whith a big spoon while I was jigging for hybrids
Thanks I appreciate it. And that’s crazy i didn’t know they’d hit lures.
Tanks bro! Nice vid🔥
Thanks bro! 👊🏽
Nice catch
Appreciate it! 😎
Bro what hook and size did you use?
They’re like size 2 hooks on the pre rigged hair rigs from Amazon. You can get a big pack of them that comes with a variety of hook sizes.
Need to watch out with the yellow spotted brown trout floating around out there
Not sure I’m following you here. 🤔
Turds. Been there and seen people doing it. Dropping deuces in the water. 5- 6 years ago. Now I go to Grainger lake
Ohhhh haha yea I wouldnt doubt it. Thanks for watching!
Nice fish 🎣
Thanks man!
Adjust your drag damn 🤣
Good catches though

What park is this how do you get to that spot?
It’s decker lake/Walter E long. They have a public park you pay at the front for the day. It’s right outside of Austin. I think they open around 7-8am
How heavy were your rods and line?
I had an 8’ and 9’ in this video that were like medium heavy action. Since then I’ve upgraded to a higher end carp rod. But as long as it’s not too stiff of a rod, it will work fine. And I use 40lb braid for these fish.
Do you use a leader or straight braid?
It’s actually called a hair rig. You can either make them yourself or buy them premade. It’s basically a leader made of braided line.

I've gotten some in pushing 20 but nothing like those toads 👌
Thanks man. Yeah I guess we went on a good day, although we did get some small ones also. Looking forward to getting back out there again.
Nice video buffalo isn't a carp though it's in the suckerfish family
Yeah I found that out a few weeks after posting this vid lol. But thanks for watching! Gonna get on some more next month. 😎
