    Whats up ya'll. Lot of comments/questions on the bobber stop rationale. So for fluorocarbon applications, I'm strictly tying a "Jimmy Houston knot" which is the best I've found. That'll give you 3 tag ends so adding that bobber stop will decrease the amount of hangs up on small weeds or what knot from the tag ends and you can fish your bait much more effectively through cover.

    Maybe a second channel for teaching us how and why "givin weather" you use specific baits? I'm fairly new to fishing and to be honest I don't know all the techniques of how to fish certain lures or what time of year you let go of old faithful lures and move to new set ups. Absolutely love the content and live fairly close to the delta and would love to fish more confidently year around

      @@fryeguy9939 I hear you, man. In Greg's defense, he's not a trout angler and if I recall correctly, he's even said himself on a previous video that his knowledge with trout is limited. It also helps a lot that he doesn't intentionally target the species, knowing that he has a limited knowledge of how to properly handle them. I've seen some channels in the past that drove me nuts over how they handled/mistreated the rainbows they caught. This brings up a good topic though because I have to say, I would absolutely love to see Greg do a trout video or two. In his yak, at a stream, whatever.

    Hey Greg, tip on the JJ's magic, that plastic piece inside the top is to equalize/burp some pressure as the jar heats or cools compared to air. Try not tightening it so tightly so it can equalize when it sits, and when you open it make sure to unscrew it slowly(like a soda that got shaken up and you want to open without exploding) to let some pressure out a little at a time before you completely open that way it wont get on your hands.

Take the time to fish the Roque River at Gold Beach in mid August for half pounders and adult summer run steelhead.
