Hey buddy, i RARELY fish eloika honestly. but if i were go there and fish I would most likely throw a swim jig or chatter bait and try and catch some fish up shallow. Good luck!
Looks like a damn good way to spend cinco de Mayo! Love the vids man great to see a Washington fisherman out there rippin lips! Let’s see a potholes monster one of these days!
We will be on this lake at the end of the month for a tournament. 1st time fishing last year looking forward to fishing this year. Good videos keep it up
When you talk about the birds nest, that's right in front of my friends house. I have fished from those docks several times and never caught a bass over 1/2lb. :-) I can't quite cast to those reeds though. Might have to take the paddle boat out next time. Keep up the good work!
This was the first time I've really caught anything of size in ther myself lol I appreciate you watching the video man! Tight lines on the paddleboard!
When you're losing fish are you not getting the hookset or are they shaking you once they are hooked? When I'm flipping the rage bugs I use a 3/0 or 4/0 VMC heavy duty EWG hook. I like those over top of the standard EWG because they are MUCH more stout. I also ALWAYS peg my weight with a bobber stop and 99% of the time I'm using a 1/2oz tungsten flipping weight. When I'm flipping I use a 7'3 Heavy X-Fast rod although a 7' Heavy is more that sufficient as well. When you flip into cover i like to jig it up and down a couple times, when you lift up and feel the weight of a fish, reel down and then set hook HARD. you gotta make sure you can pop the weight through its lips to drive the hook in. Ive set hook gingerly before and fought the fish for a couple seconds and lost the fish. Reel in and realize the hook never went through the plastic so the fish had the weight in its mouth and when I set hook it never penetrated. Since then, I really jack them with the hook set. Sorry for the long reply LOL
Thanks for getting back to me I think I’m going to change hooks and I have been using a bobber stop little lighter than you are used three eights tungsten and I was using a EWG Gama so I’m going to get a little heavier and get a little bit more aggressive thanks for your input greatly appreciate it
Loving your channel highlighting long lake. Next time you’re on long lake stop by our dock. Directly next-door to the campground off of Charles (west side) “Mahan’s Sand Bar”. Love to meet you have a beer…
I was planning on it and then my gopro stopped working day 1 of my first tournament this year. When i get a new one i will start filming my fishing again
No PFD and alcohol is a tragic story I’ve seen like 40 times as a medic and fisherman…. Wanna see you for years to come bro..l Get that floatie on…we know it’s a pain. I just got a new ONYX VEST…can’t even tell it’s on. Tight lines bud. 🎣
@@Hickology same to you brother...and I believe you...we all make temporary lapses in otherwise good judgment. I was 22 years Navy...and have been bad with pfd use at times. Whether rushed, or lazy...or just no good excuse. Just want you safe...and to go on fishing those donks! Love the content!
I am now looking forward to finding those green beauties on Long.
I love the consistent uploads
Keep up the good work
Thanks man, I've just been on them the last couple weeks!
Good job on the videos Brother. Love that your videos are current, good content.
Nice Find!
Very impressed by you figuring out a pattern. Im heading to Eloika on Tuesday, can you give me any good ideas what to throw?

I don't understand why you don't have more subscribers and views. Your videos are great. I really enjoy them.
Thank you Bill! I appreciate the kind words. We will get there eventually!

Hi Gordy I fish rage bug a lot and the problem I have is losing fish. I have used several types. What do you use on the standard Rage bug.
That’s hooks etc.
When you're losing fish are you not getting the hookset or are they shaking you once they are hooked? When I'm flipping the rage bugs I use a 3/0 or 4/0 VMC heavy duty EWG hook. I like those over top of the standard EWG because they are MUCH more stout. I also ALWAYS peg my weight with a bobber stop and 99% of the time I'm using a 1/2oz tungsten flipping weight.
