Bass Fishing a DRAINED LAKE - Rodman Reservoir - SMC Episode

- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2024
- Exposed Trees and Lake Bottom for miles makes this one of the most interesting places I have ever bass fished. Glenn Browne and I will show you how to approach a lake or river that is in a drought or draw down. Rodman Reservoir is one the top producing lakes in Florida for giant bass. The State has drawn the water down 16' feet help dry up the bottom witch has made this an awesome place to fishing if you don't tear up your boat.
Man, this place looks like a bass fishing paradise. Being in the northeast, we don't have too many lakes that look quite like this. At least not where I live. It'd be my dream to fish a place like this. The best bass fishing I've ever experienced was when I took a trip to florida a few years ago and got to fish the stick marsh/farm 13 with a relative of mine who lives down there. Good lord was it awesome. I don't know if the conditions were just right, or the timing, or both...but we were constantly doubled up, caught multiple 5 and 6 pounders, and we even caught a tenner. 10lbs, 2 ozs. I remember it like it was yesterday.
Glenn Brown is a true professional! One of my favorite pros on the circuit! I really enjoyed the respect you showed him Scott, when he started explaining to you how to fish the square bill! We all know you know how to fish the square bill however you where glued to Glen's directions like you never herd of a crank bait before! outstanding job!!👍👍! Will say one thing, if you was gona lose a SMC, no classier or more humble gentlemen to lose to!!
+Michael Graves 👊🏼 well said
Man glenne was an awesome guy so glad I had the privilege to know him and winning his memorial tournament fishing my first tournament ever with my dad Terry is something I will never forget. I swear he was in the boat with us that day 37.21 with 5 fish and culled 30 times throwing back two limits big enough to still win without the 37lb 5 fish. Love to fish with ya one day Scott if you ever make it up to the st John's in palatka.
Saw pics of that on Harris rip Glenn
Hi Scott Martin I been watching u since I was like 5 and now I’m 22 ur the best pro fishermen I ever watch
that looked like a lot of fun, shallow bite is always right...
Both me and my dad watch your videos. Whenever a new video comes out and we see each other we talk about it. I'm in my 30s and got back into fishing this year and it has given me an opportunity to spend more time fishing with him again, like when I was a kid. Keep the videos coming!
I love the family story! Great memories make great people. Love your content. You're just the coolest.
Rest In Peace Glenn you were a great fisherman
SCOTT, That story about your Dad and that Fish he didn't catch was great...I mean what a epic story..... Again thank you for all of your videos.. Keep up the good work
+Shaun Roberts you're welcome Shaun
DUDE You Are The man.. These Video's Your Doing Are Just Epic. .. I live 10 miles from Bullard Bar were that 10.5 spotted bass world record was caught.... Anyway again thanks. .
Scott I always learn something new watching your videos.
+andrew franko 👊🏼
That was so cool to hear "we started fishing, in ocala!" thats where I live!
I drive three hour from Pasco to that lake because your father video fishing it , don't get disappointed
My favorite place to fish. Back in '71 I caught (and released after weighing and taping)) a18-4 bass. Caught on live shiner.
a
Kenneth Halleck daaaayummmm!
We have caught over 20 fish over 10 in Rodman between Sept and Dec 2019 on shiners... If you wanna catch a 10+ all it takes is 10 to 14 inch wild gold shiners + Rodman...
41 dislikes?!?! What is wrong with people? This place looks like a fishing paradise. I would die a happy man having been able to rock this place. Great video guys. Love me some Scott Martin. He gets fired up about fishing like he's still a 10 year old boy. Great to see. Inspirational.
Who's that guy in the intro? Don't recognize him without the beard haha xD
+DALLMYD lol..
hey scott if you are reading this right now, thanks for your time. i have a few questions for you. i live in fort myers and i know there are some giants here, im just having trouble cathcing them. what are some tips and lures i can use to hopefully catch a big one. thanks again - Sincerely, your fan Brandon.
Scott Martin I have been watching not only you on tv and RUclips . But I have been watching Rolland Martin . You have a awesome channel . Soy u know a good baitcasting combo that is in the range of 160 or cheaper. And can you please subscribe to me I already subscribed to you
thumbs up. not for the ads, but for the flying fish
Thats no an Alligator gar thats a longnose gar. Only alligator gar on the Panhandle and you can tell it's a longnose with that long thin snout
your right but your also wrong the real name is needle nose gar or spotted gar
Jayden Ramirez just check out Florida fish and wildlife and see for yourself on species profiles
Jayden Ramirez nonono spotted gar are completely different buddy. And yes needlenose and longnose are the same species
are you sure
100% sure
Longnose: Lepisosteus osseus
Alligator: Atractosteus spatula
Spotted: Lepisosteus oculatus
Glen lau is the man!! had the pleasure of giving him a 7 lber for his latest video.. It was caught on the last shiner of the day, which he so kindly provided.
This channel is like watching a fishing channel on TV, but better!! Invite me up Scott!!
I know this is late but Glen was a great man and a great fisherman
love fishing rodman live around the are wish I could have been on the water the day you fished rodman
Awesome looking lake would love to fish it
Miss you Glenn, taught me how to flip he is the true flipping king
Glen Lau is a legend! Saw him out there on a guided trip at Rodman and he told us a funny Story about a time he and ole Roland were with Homer Circle. We gave him a 7 pounder I caught that he was going to use for filming but I guess he never got around to finishing the film or publishing it.
Congrats Scott, your channel is really cranking. Soon 80,000 subs then 100,000 before you know it. Cool, You inspire me.
+Andy's Fishing thanks bro!
Scott Martin I'm looking forward to when my channel starts to grow faster. Do you know what your trigger / event was?
+Andy's Fishing not sure..I think it's a combo of social media and trying to make good content.
Scott Martin try fishing west point lake in ga
Andy's Fishing Your channel looked good yet unappealing to me. Most of your vids were on the ocean where most people don't live. More people can relate to bass fishing.
keep up the good work with the videos I'm enjoying them.
I'm going to definitely have to fish there putting it on my list of places to fish.
really cool old places around these parts of florida like Bronson and Williston.grew up fishing Orange lakes.
I love these longer video Scott. sick action!!
Scott, I love the Oklawaha River...my dad and I fish it near Eureka West, caught my PB there just under 9lbs...love this place!!
My father in law took me and my wife fishing at Rodman and he got a 10.8lb and the wife got a 8.6lb and me with my little 6.6lb lol great video Mr. Scott #BAM👊🏻🎣
+REEF GAMING that's an awesome place.
Scott man I love the videos! I recently started fishing last summer and your videos have helped tremendously with my learning curve! Nice fish and awesome video!
+Dylan awesome!!!
Man that's the spot. Never fished in the lake but I've stopped at the dam a few times to fish
Didnt know it was possible to win a Scott Martin Challenge if you weren't Scott Martin!! hahaha glad to see someone finally got a win on ya. keep your chin up Scott it was bound to happen an hey you lost to one of the best in the bizz! lmao great vid keep em coming they are entertaining an extremely educational! thanks for sharing your passion with us!
I love your stuff dude, but THE ORIGINAL FLIPPER was a fine gentleman from Fremont CA named Dee Thomas...he invented & perfected the technique on the San Joaquin River Delta in Northern California. But, as I said, love the channel...you keep making them & I'll have keep watching them & learning from them.
+Nathan Purvis you are correct..but I really meant "punching the mats"
Awsome job keep up the great work. Your friends and Midwest Fishing Club
my stompin grounds , Hog Valley baby
You make awesome videos
Now this was a good show Scott! Get some more pros on the channel. If this were on tv id be watching it every week.
I gotta get a boat man. I fish Rodman like once a week and don't catch shit.
Do more of these video Scott!! Love it!!
all this time I thought a fellow by the name of Dee Thomas started the flipping approach to fishing and Gary Klien was his student that really got the whole flipping style into the lime light ...Really Nice Video!
+Keith Kelly Dee started flipping...Glenn developed "punching mats" in Florida.
hey Scott martin. I would just like to thank u for responding to my comment. also if u are ever in south Carolina to please come to Florence and speak with the south Florence bass fishing team.
Amazing scenery and fishing my friend
Would really love to fish with you someday before I go, Scott :)
Great videos!
Me too...
When you Hookset and send the fish flying over the boat 😂 best part
Love the videos keep up the good work spring break I am planning a lake Okeechobee trip
I like these types of vids against other pros
i like these vids to but my homies jonb and apbassin are cool as hell to
Ive yet to take my boat out to Rodman, but I've fished the shoreline of the Reservoir many times. Ive landed some tanks when the shad are running up an down the shore. its been about 6months since I was last over there. Awesome Video Scott, always was curious what it looked like out there. Great Video Buddy!
+Harley Dunkle (Hd_BassFishing) thanks man..can't wait to go back
Looks like Lake Mulwala here in Australia where I catch Murry cod, fantastic looking fishery!
+James Gardiner really..what part of Australia?
Lake Mulwala is on the south east side of Australia in New South Wales. It's covered with trees, except there isn't very much weed mat covering the surface. Great Murray cod fishery, can't beat fishing in amounst the structure!
Scott I've seen the past vids you've been posting! I know this was in spring but past vids you've mentioned how good it is to be in Florida during winter... I live in the Northeast and I can promise a 100 fish day striper wise hmu for a awesome show
+joshua Burkhalter in the rivers?
Not an alligator Gar it's a long nose Gar
Mark Andrews yeeeee
Needle nose gar .
Thank you! That’s exactly what I was gonna say! Florida Long Nose Gar!
Florida long nose alligator gar
Yeah alot of floridians make that mistake always thinking it's a alligator gar when it's usually a Florida spotted gar or a long nose gar. Alligator gar or very scarce in Florida nowadays. U gotta go to Texas or Louisiana for a true alligator gar anymore.
Congrats on the subs. Love your channel, quickly becoming my favorite!!
+Team Wild Card Fishing thanks man!!
I actually still own a 2004 evinrude 225 direct injection H.O and love it !! Ya bombardier made it
Hey Scott, I am not one to start trouble on comments but, I have noticed on several videos that you or your partner doesn't wear a life jacket. In 1993 I lost a brother due to a freak boating accident where the lower unit hooked a ski rope underneath the surface and caused the boat to take a hard left turn. It threw both of my brothers out of the boat and by the grace of GOD, only one brother died. If I can make one plea, please be an advocate of safe boating. I only believe in using them when you are on plane and I know you are required to wear one in tournaments. Please make it a point to be safe every time you are running. Thanks for your time.
John Baird there's no "god".
and by "his" "grace" he decided to let just one brother die? why not let both live?
jack moore first of all, you are very decieved. GOD does exist and he is in control. Where do you think we get our date/time system from? It comes from the birth of God's son Jesus being born into this sinful world and dying on the cross for our sins. Hence BC "before Christ" and AD "after death" of Christ. If you are right, I have nothing to lose. But if I am right, you have everything to lose. Nevertheless lifejackets save lives if worn correctly.
John Baird actually, it's BCE (before common era). and AD is anno domini. the 7 day week came from the jews...
is that all it took for you to believe in such mythical crap? so you have nothing to lose? it's sad that you're that gullible and so easily scared into believing in "god".
so what makes the Christian religion so different and "right" compared to the thousands of other religions worldwide? what's makes yours so special?
btw, I didn't search for anything...
That is so incorrect that even you had to search for a comeback. There is only one true GOD and there are many more reasons that I believe. Nothing mythical about it. I bet you celebrated CHRISTmas last week? If so, you are a fake atheist. The reason there are so many religions in the world is that so many people want things to be so that they can live in sin and still believe that they are going to heaven. There is only one true way to Heaven and that is through Jesus Christ. For GOD so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:16) Please don't be so critical of my and millions of others faith. You will one day face the truth and GOD will judge you just as he will judge me, and I would only pray that you have made things right with him before that day. BTW, this will be my last reply. Have a blessed day and my GOD reveal his truth to you soon. One thing for sure, you can never say that you have not heard the truth.
John Baird man your delusion has taken over.
and about the Christmas, no I didn't celebrate it, I just went fishing. Christmas also has almost nothing to do with christians anyway. first of all "jesus" wasn't born in December, not even in the same season. and Christmas was stolen from the pagans, which would celebrate the winter solstice every year in December. basically everyone would get drunk and have fun, but then Constantine convert and turned it into Christmas to make it easier for people to convert. also, in early usa colonies, Christmas used to be illegal because it was "unchristian" becuase of the drunkness, raping, etc that would happen. and your Santa was used by Coca-Cola to make them look less bad after people found out they were putting cocaine in their soda, lol.
so even if an atheist celebrates christmas, it doesn't make them fake since the holiday doesn't eve have anything to do with the actual "religion".
so you don't even know shit about your own religion, "god" you're stupid.
I live really close to rodman in Crescent city the bass capital! love seeing this videos caught my first bass ever thanks to your tips the other day! would kill for a chance to fish with you man
+Steven Carrillo 👊🏼
You guys should come fish in Cali. all our lakes are like that. DRAINED. Nice video. - Scott.
+Central Coast Bass I want to come out for sure.
Right, like you have never fished here in California, not buying it. - Scott.
Hey Scott, my buddy and i seen you that day and was fishing right across the canal from yall and i almost fell out of the boat and yall just laughed it off with me and said yall" wouldnt put that in the show" and i told yall "i appreciate it lol"
Great video!
Awesome location, love the Gars
Love the videos Scott! I wanna head down to Florida to catch some Florida giants!
Great video Scott!
Great video Scott hope one day I can fishing with you ✌️✌️
Pretty cool video keep it up.
Yeah there are more bass in the double digit weight size in Central and Northern parts of Florida than South Florida. I lived on Okeechobee for years and I've never caught so many huge 10 plus pound bass anywhere like I have in North Florida. I know some lakes with potential state records in north Florida.
Hey man, next time you’re out at Rodman let me know! I don’t know if you have ever been here, but Crescent Lake out here in crescent City, Fl has some monster bass. Come check it out
I like the fact you have both won on my home lake of Ft Loudon.
Correction I forgot Dudley edged you out on Loudon. For some reason I thought you won that tourney.
Coty Higgins same home lake
Harrison Heins where you from buddy?
Beautiful spot. My dream is to get to bass fish in Florida.
I have not been to rodman since I was 7 yrs old. that was in 1977. live in Kentucky now. I've caught a lot of bass when I lived in Florida. wanna catch lots of bass? try interlachen lake estates. a lot of the smaller lakes are drying up or have dried up. but there are still several to choose from. and they're all pretty close to each other. my biggest bass caught was 15 lbs 2 once caught out of violet lake in 1992. I also caught a 9 lbs 12 once off the neighbor's dock. for fun fishing for mostly 5 pounder average it's a great place to fish.
+Frannie 15.2...that's huge!
that's my neck of the woods I fished like crazy when they let it down this time
love it dude great work
+JEREMY SCHREIBER 👊🏼
Scott I was looking through my flw cards yesterday and found ur signature
+Hawg City Fishing too cool
That was a cool story about your dad.
R.I.P Glenn.
Coming back to this video breaks me heart.... My Hubby and Glenn locked in to Rodman from St John's River tourneys they fished together on more then a few times. Glenn was a great person and so sad that we lost him.
for the guys that dont have a boat and live around Florida and want to fish lake rodman when they drop it you can actually walk around a huge portion of the lake due to the the water dropping it creates a sand beach around it and you can catch big bass I have a couple on my channel
+OTB FISHING that's so cool..I bet you can find some cool stuff too...
it looks awesome
Keep a machete on that boat lol , too many critters down there . Awesome boat
You should come tuna fishing with me and my dad this summer at stellwagen bank it's out of Boston or striper fishing in the harbor we catch giant striped bass
Good vid homie
Lol these guys constantly trying to cast over eachother fishing the same exact spot haha like boys
another awesome video. btw... I love the tcs rods. currently switching my whole line up... they rock
+BassQuest that's awesome bro!!! Post up some pics on IG
Scott Martin will do... gonna post some videos on my channel as well.
The reason why I don’t watch pros is because not everyone has 70K boats . Some of us rely only on a good spot on the bank and some Texas Rig senkos
just left rodman 2 weeks ago, must be a last yrs video. lake is full of giants
Scott Martin I'm sorry I was just upset with the ads keep doing you don't let the grind stop
It’s all good..hope your day goes better. Go check out “roasted by a 13yr old” video on the channel..you’ll laugh at that one.
Will do have a good day
Love the intro dad
If any of yall get a chance to fish the draw down come do it!!! its nothing to catch a 35-40 lb bag limit and its great fun all day but you gotta let the bass go but alot of fun!!!
Makes me want to come to FLA right now. Boat is parked in the garage here in Ohio until spring. :(
Mudfish? Man I love catching Bowfin. I wish I could bring some back to the Texas panhandle
they will eat a lot of your bass and other game fish...just saying.
I wouldn't think so, that's what snakeheads do. There's a difference
Keith Kelly That's a myth. Read up a little on bowfin, they have a bad rep because of beliefs such as yours. The only video on my channel is a floodplain that gained global recognition for its biological success. That flood water is managed by The Nature Conservancy and their team of scientists know what they're doing. The lake is entirely loaded with 17" average largemouth, 12" average crappie and monster bluegill. The bowfin in the floodplain are protected because of their beneficial presence in the ecosystem. Bottom line, they are prehistoric fish and have been around a long time, simply regarding them as trash is fine, but it's when I see people rip their stomach open or unhinge their jaw and throw them back like fuckin ignorant morons that pisses me off. This isn't directed towards you, just venting and hopefully clarifying some things.
I watched this episode last week on the outdoor channel
love this sires
"You caught me with my baits out"
i fished the ocklawaha river this past september. honestly couldnt catch a thing where i was at. only thing on my line i got was a gar.
sweet scott thanks again
+Wesley Adams thanks Wesley
this looks fun which i could go lol
I love the smc's
+brando. knorr thanks brando
weird to see an actual television episode again....so used to the web series
Same thing happened to me last night in my kayak, hooked a gar with the crankbait, fortunately and unfortunately he broke my line and got away with a new mouth piece.
Scott man Ik that place like the back of my hand and the St. John's river
