    I want to tell you thank you for being my #1 fishing RUclips channel! I finally got Electronics on my boat-left Louisiana, went to Lake Chickamaga TN, and applied what you preach🎣! Tore them up on a wacky worm on a 3/32 weed less ball hook. The twitch you described here I did with a wacky worn over the grass!

    Great video as always. Lanier is my home lake so I am out there all the time. I'm very lucky to get to fish it all the time. You need to come back up when the Herring Spawn is happening (should be any day now) as those blow-thru's will be loaded with monster 3-5 # spots, stripers and large mouths and you can catch them on top water in the 2-5 feet deep areas. It is insane when that happens. Cheers!

    The jerkbait bite is really on right now. I bought an el cheapo at Academy for $1.50 on clearance and today I caught 7 nice largies in under an hour with it. Some nice ones too! As aggressive as spots can be, I'm sure you can clean up with a jerlbait.

    I’ve also been using a smaller profile minnow looking swimbait on a weedless jighead, from 7/64 oz with 6 lb fluoro to 1/4 with 17 lb fluoro and absolutely crushing it. Whether it’s trolling, slow-rolling along the bottom, or treating it almost like a worm, they cannot get enough of that setup.

    Duuuude!!! What... Don't get the chance to go Spot fishin but and as always, the best #realfishing content in RUclips and that's my bias opinion even if I live in California! Mikey one quick question if I may, if you're/I'm active target/live forward target imaging impaired for lack of a better words, could you give some info on your thoughts for finding and processes to finding fish? Maybe even some that would be useful for my a$$, LOL, here in my neck of the woods! Tight lines brother!

    • @mattthomen1608
      @mattthomen1608 2 года назад +1

      I'm gonna but in. I'd do a 3 day approach .and use confidence baits to target bass . Look nw corner for the biggest in a system,and drop back from spawing bays to flats focus on transition spots from ell grass to hydrilla and you will find your donkeys.spot within a spot could be wood rock or different bittom.mud sand or clay or pebble. Knowing your home lake details are key to finding bass. Fish every stitch of it.and you will be the master of the lake,and there movements. First day drive and map key spots where you think they should be. Day 2 run and gun those spots w your confidence baits and 3 different retrieves. Slow as ballz, fast as hell,and gliding, or pendelum.day 3 cleanup! With what worked from day 1 and 2.👌

They're expensive but it's so nice to not have to worry about your batteries going bad at the wrong time and the performance is crazy - you can fish a couple days on 1 charge. You will need a lithium charger but alot of the new onboards support lithium.
