I’ve been fishing the salt river almost every weekend for about a year now at different spots (nothing but bank fishing) and I gotta say coon bluff probably has the biggest bass. Some real nice two or more pounders on the bank opposite of where people hangout. And yes there might be people on one side but the opposite side is basically untouched and all the bass love hangingout shallow there. There’s a bunch of grass matts the fish love to hangout under. And if you just want numbers there has to be a hundred or more bass lined all along that shallow bank. Throw a jig or a dark sleeper along that bank and up under the trees and you’re sure to catch a few. And if there aren’t any shallow then it drops off into water that’s 5-15 feet deep in the center and the fish will hangout down there too especially at the part right before the water divides. There’s a big tree root ball in the deepest part of right before the divide and the fish love hanging out there too. I recommend you fish as much of coon bluff as you can
Glad you had an awesome time ! Its what we all need some days too decompress... going too make a trip Saturday again and hope too get some numbers and break my record of 11 fish in a day with you :)
Ran into you Monday on the river, It was pretty cool to run into you while using all of your techniques to catch the most bass I ever have caught in one day.
My buddy and I fished the salt last year on a make shift catamaran made of 2 canoes with a trolling motor. Game warden though it was the coolest thing ever.
I was looking for this comment I just got a pond prowler and gonna hit granite reef with the electric trolling motor 🤙🏼 hope goal fishing is still out there enjoying life
i've always wanted to take my fishing kayak out and down the lower salt, but the logistics of how to get back to your car without leaving your stuff for pickers is beyond me. 😅
Is it a challenge to paddle back upstream to get to your truck? I would like to try paddle boat fishing like you do. I have bank fished off the Lower Salt river and the water current gets quite rapid.
@robert parra I will still use the Kayak too, but it will mostly replace it in the river for me. It’s just super nice to have the space and stability and its only a little heavier than the Kayak. Here’s the link to my website to check out the guided trips www.goalfishingguides.com
I'm wondering WHY you can't have a motor on the river, Craziest thing I've ever heard. Apparently there are also lakes that you can't use a motor on. I'm wondering who's INSAINE idea that was. I mean WHY would there be a lake or river ANYWHERE that you couldn't use a motor.???
@@GOALFishing I am seriously looking to buy one. May I ask another question. I have a fairly heavy cast net. I net me own bait. Would you think this would handle standing up and casting a 7 ft cast net without a lot of shake. I have good balance but this is the only worry I have. Thanks for the reply.

Make a long kayak paddle works good
Awesome man! I just bought one a few weeks ago! It’s a great little boat. I have to make that cart for mine still.
Glad you had an awesome time ! Its what we all need some days too decompress... going too make a trip Saturday again and hope too get some numbers and break my record of 11 fish in a day with you :)
@Rafael Hernandez the fluke jr and Texas rigged craw have been producing really good for me lately. Hopefully that might help you break your record👍
Need some balloon tires there guy. $50 on Amazon will get you a pair of beach tires for your dolly.

@Jaxson Rolfe that’s awesome man! So glad you had such a successful day! Did you end up with any big ones?
@@GOALFishing no, nothing huge, maybe one over a pound, but it felt good to get out and be successful on my first try in a new area
Get a bilge pump for the water in the boat so you don’t have to try to make a skupper hole
Cool set up
How do you think that thing would do going through shoals? I'm looking for something similar but the rivers I fish have shallow sections.
Hey man how are you doing? Noticed you haven’t posted in a while. Holidays can be busy just wanted to say what’s up and thanks for the videos

@Bill Witherspoon That sounds awesome. did he not write you a ticket or give you a warning for the having a motor in there?
@@GOALFishing Nope, treated it like a kayak with an electric drive. Just told us no gas motors.
@@jasonmorrison2749 good to know

How does it compare to kayak fishing?….the pros and cons
How is it with 2 people fishing?

@Art H I get dropped off upstream and picked up down stream. I wouldn’t be able to paddle that one upstream very well.
@@GOALFishing Thank you very much for letting me know this. I would have been in a mess trying to paddle upstream. lol!
Nice little set up will that be taking place of kayak? Can you send me the info on guide trip. Craws always seem to tear them up nice

any boat on a river without a motor is not a good idea in any world.
Was this the 8ft or 10 ft?
@curious george it was the 10

@@curiousgeorge4674 if you have good balance it should be fine. I’m impressed by how stable it is.
@@GOALFishing thank you very much
