@@Pussmash i have an inflatable one, with an anchor, so i can get out on the water but inflating that thing does take a while even with an electric motor, i guess i don’t really have an excuse but fishing is so hard sometimes especially with no motivation yk?
@calebpaulsen9717 Yeah, I know what you mean. Almost the exact thing happened to me, except not with a kayak but with a paddleboard. Bought an inflatable, and it took so long to set up, I never used it. Lmao
Thanks to RUclips, I'm now a bank fisherman with 13 different fishing rods, a 40lb tackle box, all stuffed into a compact suv where I can no longer use my center console due to the rods sticking up and changing the radio on me when i hit a speed bump! 😂😂 (I wouldn't have it any other way 😋)
Absolutely agree with you. Here in South Africa the senko is very expensive so i fish the 5 inch yum dinger and the jumbo fat albert from Damiki most of the times weightless. Different colours for both.
I spend all summer doing exactly that: frogging mats. I started using soft plastic toads(zman black goat toadz) this year for the first time with that gama G-finesse hybrid hook and I never lose fish and can drag them through the slop without bending out a 4-0. I'm very reluctant to try a hollow body again after how successful these toads have been. Flukes used as topwater/subsurface is another summer favorite. Thank you for the recommendations and ideas, they really help me build a solid tackle bag.
I use toads when it's a little more open and you can work it faster. Frogs when it's thick and there's minimal holes to let it just sit for a minute. They both have there times for me
@@joecuillo5005 Yeah it's great to have both tools on hand. If you are in marshy areas with duckweed mats, the toad is easy for the fish to track there too. I also use a very unique mini hollow body frog made in the Philippines designed for snakehead. It has a single tiny spinner blade instead of legs, weighs maybe 7/16oz and is only 3/4 of an inch long. I think it has become my favorite topwater of any kind.
Medium or medium heavy 6ft 1 piece spinning rod, 3000 size reel, 10lb sufix elite. You'll never need another setup regardless of bait type you're using or heavy cover. I snag all the freaking time, and have caught several types/ weights of fish but still have yet to break the line or lose a lure one single time, ever. Stop overcomplicating things people.
That's pretty much what I set up for bank fishing or canoe fishing my swampy creek. I bought a Shakespeare Pro Lite Medium Heavy 6ft rod and a Daiwa Regal 3000 spinner but went with 10lb braid. I love the way it fishes the lures I use and it's plenty stout enough to rig up for catfish if I want to. I do take a 5'6 ultra light with mono for blue gill and crappie but there's probably around $175 invested in my rigs and that covers just about everything.
🫡 i have a shimano spinning reel with a trigger i’ve been using for maybe 30 years. it’s my go-to. pretty much just use rubber worms and jointed shad runners. it’s an idiot proof rig on an old berkeley 6.5’ rod. 10 pound test and i’m not catching anything that’s gonna pop that unless it’s a turtle. now i have hooked some warmouth that i THOUGH would snap it. they are small fish but fight super hard
0:32 I disagree. The thing that ruins my bank fishing experience is getting snagged on the weeds and overgrowth on the pond surface and having to spend more time retying my line than actually fishing. I don't understand how you can fish on top of that stuff without losing everything.
Limited options. Single hook lures only with alot of vegetation is what I've always done. He's got it covered for sure. Sure you could change anything out for something else but if you take 3 rods with these setups you'll catch fish
I'm gonna tell you something about bass fishing right now, remember it please cuz it will change your outcomes on the water. If your worried about snagging off you won't be catching any bass......THE FISH ARE IN THE SNAGS....all of em, weeds laydowns manmade objects......you gotta cast within inches of that cover if you wanna catch em
Scum frogs the softest body and it has prop feet for once you clear the weeds. I like it but the booyah pad crasher and crasher-popper is my favorite (white tiger)
Also when I fish Lilly's and the frog lands in a small pocket of open water I let it float and twitch it there for a good 5-10 seconds and they hammer it often when I do
My top three where I bank fish are 1) the silver/blue chug bug, 2) swimming a cotton cordell spoon just under the surface, and 3) having some white flukes on hand when the largemouth get really aggressive (just be ready when the fluke hits the water). I catch numerous bass with these lures, and in the last week, three of the largemouth landed were 4+ lbs. One 3 pounder blew up the chug bug about 5 times on a single retrieve before grabbing it.
Used spoons from the bank also....but the last 7 or so years I've gone to the "blade bait" and I believe Cordell makes one....I'm not talking about a "bladed spinner bait" but it's shaped just like a shad and the vibration and reflection of the sun make it lethal...have caught everything on it and has become my "go to" when fishing is tough. You can work it on the bottom or close to the surface and even jig it vertically just like a spoon
I've had luck so far this year from the bank throwing a ZOOM Ultra Vibe Craw, T rigged. Color > New Penny, with the claws doctored up with Spike-It Crawfish. Had luck with a Yamamoto Senko. Color > Midnight, t rigged. Love frog fishing. Scum Frogs are my preferred choice, but I'm going to try Berkley's Swamp Lord.
The one bass lure since childhood which always always always performed for me for bass is the panther Martin spinner (gold tone blade and body ) I got that lure when I was a kid tried it and never looked back and that's 40+ yrs now that I use it, when all else fails I always go back to that one panther Martin spinner !
I have banked fished several times with success. I now am blessed, my wife bought me a new Ranger rig that I love. I am here in south central Florida with a lot of lakes around me. My PB is 11.8 pounds. Several 10 pounders. I have had several bites on a Zoom 7 inch June Bug. Either fast or slow, it really works for me. I buy a lot of "smelly Jelly". That stinking pink stuff really works. It is around $9.00 per jar. I get it from Tackle Warehouse. I order 6 jars in order to have no shipping cost. 1 jar will last me about a year. I like your frogs the other crank bait. I know they work but I go out in the boat only a couple hours in the morning and come home. I am retired so I go when I want. I love to watch my bass swim off after the catch. I give them a kiss and thank them for the fight. I just love it. I watch a lot of tournament fishing but I don't ever fish them myself. I don't want any pressure at all. If they are not biting that morning that is just tough. I'll fish the next morning. I love being on the water. I am thankful to the good Lord for giving me the health and the chance to chase those beautiful green creatures.
I like how you shout slowly and clearly at us. Makes me feel “R”. That also makes me relaxed all over, except my neck. My neck feels like it’s growing in strength, and quickly.
Definitely my top 3 picks with a topwater Popper thrown in when I get out early. Building up familiarity and confidence with the bladed jigs but it comes down to sticking with it a little longer. Thanks for sharing Ty
My favorite top water bass bait is a hulla popper in the coachdog color. I have caught tons of fish with it. If you fish it early in the morning, cast in close to the bank.
lol…Good one! My # 1 bass lure from shore in So Cal is by far a lipless crankbait! I’ve caught nearly 300 bass since last November on a lipless crank…yo-yo, slow drag/sweep, or straight retrieve have all been effective.
Try Texas drinking the senko and drag it across that cover like you did the frog and then let it dropping those little holes one of my favorite ways to use a cinco in small ponds
@@BassFishingHQ Honestly a video talking about lures and ways to deal with filamentous algae while night fishing will be great. Maybe on your second channel
Better have your drag set perfectly...I had my PB last week do a hard, straight dive directly under the kayak in 1 last attempt to get away...The bass succeeded...snapped my braid like it was nothing...30 lb. Having no stretch isn't always a good thing..I'm back to mono, and landed a 6 this morning with no issues
I use this zoom watermelon trick worms Texas rigged without weight. It works so well. I also use chatterbait duh. Sometimes a spinner bait or rooster tail. Then you'll always find me with a top water frog on hand
The #1 bait you DON'T wanna fish from the bank is a glide bait, because getting it back if it gets snagged once you put those super sticky hooks on it is impossible
Thanks for the video. I’ve fished most of my life and have been terribly stubborn about what I use and how. But I’m trying to learn new techniques. I’ve got a bait caster collecting dust that I’m going to drag out and put new line on and try again. Lol. Tight Lines and good luck
It's harder to. Odds are you will have to find a slightly more open area. It is possible if the pond scum isn't thick yet to get it close then skip it back over the scum.
Best for me is Z-MAN Frogz with a 5/0 ewg hook w/ bait holder. The frog is made from plastic that floats and the hook up ratio is way higher than the conventional hollow body soft plastic dual hook frogs.
From the bank I live throwing 1. Floating worms in bubblegum 2. Walking bait spook in bone 3. Whopper Plopper style 90mm size bone color 4. Wacky worm in bubblegum or mango magic Or a cream color (similar to bone) 5. Square bill in a bluegill color Norms is my go to
I get skunked more often not but mostly because I mostly fish the most pressured waters in the area ... But they're also the most accessible for bank fishing
Same. Here in NJ there is bank access, but every foot is pressured. I always leave the house expecting to be skunked these days, less disappointing that way

I use to use a Money Hound by Yum on grass matts and it worked great. Unfortunately, it's not made anymore. Also, the HeartTail by Yamoto worked great, but it is also not made anymore. Whew!!!!!!!!! All last week, bass were smashing the grasslines, but would hit anything except my XCalibur jerkbait. I caught three small ones, but those big bass wouldn't hit it. I may try the frog next time.
I’ve slammed tons of bass from the bank on a green pumpkin trick worm, weightless, on a 1/0 hook on a ML spinning rod. I hook it almost weedless in the top and twitch it. As it slowly falls, bass slam it. Bigs and dinks crush it.
Just getting started and well can be overwhelming to outfit your first lure selections. Baitcaster and spinning outfit. There may be a video but would it be possible to get a short suggestions on say a " good start" lure and box set up. Love your videos!! Very good explanations
I caught my 2 biggest bass by using a frog and by fishing in exactly these conditions. The water was like 1-2 feet deep and had the same type of matts on top. I caught a 5lb in a tiny pond and the other was 6lb There were days you could see the big bass just chilling there since it was so shallow.
I love your Florida references, our summer fishing is unique without deep water, were in 6-12' all the time also your favorite colors for murky or tanic waters in our shallow reservoirs and rivers like we fish. Different world from northern deep lakes and I need help :) Big Thanks,
I enjoyed the contenti in this and the fall fishing one. I that if you shorten both videos you will have MORE people watch to the end and comment, Thanks for the ideas.
Loose drag on my dedicated frog setup cost me my PB bass for my most fished lake last year. Was a bitter pill as bass that size in my lakes you get 1 at best 2 chances at a year and that's if you fish 3 days a week minimum
Think I’ve thrown top water fifteen minutes this year. I’m in Florida and primarily kayak fish. I get on them too. Real good. But, I need to try and throw top water much much more. I know. Disbelief. Lol. A friend of mine (MLF guy) says there are three frog colors: Black. Black. And black. 😊
I had those exact senkos but it would kinda dissolve after a few cast and fall off the hook. I’m not sure why but I bought some regular yum worms and they worked fine
That is when the braided line comes into play. Scooting the frog across the mat, then boom explosion, the bass takes you below the mat. That braid is gon get that fish out with a higher probability than non-braid! Now go set hook to a BASSLADON over some mats!...✊🏾
Yea, I have the best luck throwing a frog in the thickest stuff and working in out. Especially if you have any holes in the cover. Throw past the hole and work it over it.
Haha what’s up Tyler! I’ve got some ponds that will test even your skill here in Fort Worth Tx. I’d pay good money to see you guys come fish some of the neighborhood ponds around me. They are TOUGH.
Pond bass love senkos. I am in Pensacola, small swim baits and toads are my other go too baits most of the time. Don't overlook the effectiveness of a small crappy jig either.
He said he don’t use that brand of frog and then goes onto say he noticed how soft that frog is and that’s what u want for better hook up etc. Lmao if u never used that brand of frog then how u know it’s better hook up . But yes that frog works very well especially in the Lillie’s, grassy covered waters , even open water
Why such high numbers when it comes to what pound test line you are using? 🧐 I have spent 30 years only fishing 6 and 8 pound test in upper Michigan and have caught northern pike, walleye, smallmouth, you name it and have never needed anything with a higher test lbs number. I don’t understand such high pound test fishing line 🤷🏼♂️
@@creek_stalkerI use 20 lb on my main baitcaster but also have one with 30 and 40 but the only real advantage to having bigger line is pulling it through heavy cover I think if you're fishing in normal conditions you don't need more than 10-15 realistically
I lost a big bass once when it got wrapped around a partially submerged branch, and I was using 14 or 17lb test mono. I went up to 20lb test whenever fishing around any type of heavy cover. That was over thirty years ago and now I use 50lb braid around any type of grass, lily pads, or other aquatic vegetation. I also check my knots and line every little bit to make sure that it’s not damaged; not quite as often if I am fishing around little or no cover.
Glad to see some bank fishing content!! Not everyone can afford a bass boat or even want too!!
I do. I'd sell my truck for a bass boat.
@@stryciani don’t have room for a boat at my place, therefore no reason to own one, so bank fishing makes more sense for me

Not just the Senko, but any weightlessness soft plastic is great from the bank. I like flukes and float worms too.
Absolutely agree with you. Here in South Africa the senko is very expensive so i fish the 5 inch yum dinger and the jumbo fat albert from Damiki most of the times weightless. Different colours for both.
Agree or a hellgrammite is also deadly always works even on a drop shop regardless of depth
@@PassaicRiverFishing I do this too when bank fishing. Hellgrammite on a split shot (finesse Carolina) will catch them in numbers.
Fluke goattttttt
I started fluke fishing this year, and I absolutely love it
Inline spinners. Mepps #5. Squarebill or mid crankbait. 1/8 oz Jighead and 3" grub. Works well in areas that get more traffic.

How do you fish a chatter bait when there is all that scum? How do you get the bait in past that stuff
It's harder to. Odds are you will have to find a slightly more open area. It is possible if the pond scum isn't thick yet to get it close then skip it back over the scum.
Frogs over the scum bladed jigs along the scum edges and openings
What’s your main setup (rod reel line etc…)
Best for me is Z-MAN Frogz with a 5/0 ewg hook w/ bait holder. The frog is made from plastic that floats and the hook up ratio is way higher than the conventional hollow body soft plastic dual hook frogs.
13:14 Looks like Lake Nockamixon pond. It either is or an identical spot.
Caught my pb of 7lbs on the original chatterbait white in color with a zoom "the fluke" as a trailer from the bank of a larger lake
This my go to pro fisherman of recent. Thanks again my dude
How tight should your drag be when frog fishing?
Locked down
From the bank I live throwing
1. Floating worms in bubblegum
2. Walking bait spook in bone
3. Whopper Plopper style 90mm size bone color
4. Wacky worm in bubblegum or mango magic

I enjoyed the contenti in this and the fall fishing one. I that if you shorten both videos you will have MORE people watch to the end and comment, Thanks for the ideas.
Hi if speed reels have less torque hard to fight fish 5.0:-1 has the most
Frog/weightless plastic/small swimbaits with weedless jig head - pond fishing arsenal.
1. Fishing heavy cover
2. Heavier diameter of line keeps lure up in water column
Any tips to get a frog to have a similar rattle to your favorite walking bait?
Im talking my 5 yearold shore fishing tomorrow. Any idea where i can find a fishing report
Loose drag on my dedicated frog setup cost me my PB bass for my most fished lake last year.
Was a bitter pill as bass that size in my lakes you get 1 at best 2 chances at a year and that's if you fish 3 days a week minimum
Think I’ve thrown top water fifteen minutes this year. I’m in Florida and primarily kayak fish. I get on them too. Real good.
But, I need to try and throw top water much much more. I know. Disbelief. Lol.
A friend of mine (MLF guy) says there are three frog colors: Black. Black. And black. 😊
Topwaters are so gd fun, my favorite is the small hula popper and the small floating rapala with the round bill. Fish hit them with extreme prejudice
@@bradfjord No doubt the sick adrenaline rush on top water bites.
What’s on his bladed jig?
Great video as always. Id buy a hat if you made a Canadian version :)
Great video, bro!
Always have problems hooking fish on a frog picked up 2 tips from video use braided line and softer plastic thanks
for the mini max what weight should I be buying? I live in NY and mostly pond fish if that helps narrow it down
As light as you can get away with 3/8 or 1/4 oz
@@Daiwa_Is_King shortly after i commented that I bought a 3/8 and the first fish I caught with it was a 6lb smallmouth
I had those exact senkos but it would kinda dissolve after a few cast and fall off the hook. I’m not sure why but I bought some regular yum worms and they worked fine
I didn't know you were suppose to fish a frog over cover like that, I was doing the edges of the mats for more popping action
That is when the braided line comes into play. Scooting the frog across the mat, then boom explosion, the bass takes you below the mat. That braid is gon get that fish out with a higher probability than non-braid! Now go set hook to a BASSLADON over some mats!...✊🏾
Yea, I have the best luck throwing a frog in the thickest stuff and working in out. Especially if you have any holes in the cover. Throw past the hole and work it over it.
Can you do a top 3 baits for ponds that have tons of weeds at the bottom
Drop me a pin on that pond
Haha what’s up Tyler! I’ve got some ponds that will test even your skill here in Fort Worth Tx. I’d pay good money to see you guys come fish some of the neighborhood ponds around me. They are TOUGH.
If you cant afford a composite rod for chatterbait. A MH regular action rod will substitute adequately.
Where’s that at? I want to fish there. Ty
That makes 2 of us been throwing monophiliment.Most of my life do well with the frog with it
I'm new at fishing Jacksonville Florida on ponds and I only get lucky with senkos
Pond bass love senkos. I am in Pensacola, small swim baits and toads are my other go too baits most of the time. Don't overlook the effectiveness of a small crappy jig either.
@Steve-ev6vx Thanks. I will definitely try them.
He said he don’t use that brand of frog and then goes onto say he noticed how soft that frog is and that’s what u want for better hook up etc. Lmao if u never used that brand of frog then how u know it’s better hook up . But yes that frog works very well especially in the Lillie’s, grassy covered waters , even open water
Great information thank you
Every time i I try using a frog in my area, all I catch is bullfrog.
😂😂😂😂
All I catch are Lillie’s or scum 😂
Why such high numbers when it comes to what pound test line you are using? 🧐 I have spent 30 years only fishing 6 and 8 pound test in upper Michigan and have caught northern pike, walleye, smallmouth, you name it and have never needed anything with a higher test lbs number. I don’t understand such high pound test fishing line 🤷🏼♂️
You can't use light line on baitcasters it bites into the spool and breaks off and causes backlash, flouro 15 pound minimum, braid 40 pound minimum 👍
@@creek_stalkerI use 20 lb on my main baitcaster but also have one with 30 and 40 but the only real advantage to having bigger line is pulling it through heavy cover I think if you're fishing in normal conditions you don't need more than 10-15 realistically
No in Florida , it's more safety use a heavy line
I lost a big bass once when it got wrapped around a partially submerged branch, and I was using 14 or 17lb test mono. I went up to 20lb test whenever fishing around any type of heavy cover. That was over thirty years ago and now I use 50lb braid around any type of grass, lily pads, or other aquatic vegetation. I also check my knots and line every little bit to make sure that it’s not damaged; not quite as often if I am fishing around little or no cover.
@@creek_stalkerI have been using 12lb flouro for 10 years for my non swim bait reel
Where is this pond?
Bro is standing in one spot and has caught more bass from that spot than i have caught all year from boats and kayaks so far
How do you know when it bites, I was looking at your rod and didn’t see any indication
Sounds like you only fish for catfish where you watch your pole tip for movement.
Very concise.
7-8 in Zoom worm, eagle claw weedless hook, I crush bass in NC on this rig so much I get bored of it 😅
Live shiner under bobber best bait
Link to set up ?
Everyone's been successfully fishing frogs on monofilament for 50+ years lol
A white/bone wopper plopper is the ONLY thing I've caught fish on so far. Only got two months of bass experience tho lol
Weightless senko is hard to beat too.
Just discovered your channel, on my second video . Good content 🤙🏾
I swear when I see a lure video I can't not click on it.
A silver rapala that floats
I only have bass fished from the bank and catch alot of fish on all types of soft plastic's and crankbait
Fish fear him,,, Cats want to be him!😂🤣
