Hats off to you Tyler, you hit it out of the park with this one. Apart from the quality that comes with every video you make, these are all tips that, as a pond angler on a budget, are not only helpful but I can actually put to use.
Great video, as usual! There is another method for depth finding that some might find easier or better than countdown. Nobody has mentioned it so I will. It works best on a calm day and in winter so there is less vegetation. But, it can work OK as long as it’s not too windy or weedy on the bottom. Maybe most appropriate for a pond you will revisit, not a one off. The setup is a bell sinker with a slip bobber above it, on a spinning rod & reel. You adjust it to the maximum depth you think you are throwing to. Say 10ft. Cast and let it fall. If it bobs straight up it’s deeper there. Reel in slowly until the bobber tips over. The sinker is on the bottom. At that point you know the depth is 10ft. You can continue to reel in if you think there is a shelf to see if it will drop off again (probably not in most ponds). Now it’s a rinse and repeat. You can adjust to 12ft and go back to the original spot. Or, adjust to 8 and throw to the spot where you know it’s at 10 ft and reel in to find 8. You can get a pretty decent idea of the contour along the line of retrieve in 5-6 casts. In an hour or so you can map out about 10 lines.
Love Bass Forecast App! Perfect for us Bank guys! I gotta be honest with you, I love commenting about how much I love your sponsors, especially when you do any kind of videos that help a guy who likes to fish on his way home that is local ponds and small lakes ;-).
Another great vid Tyler! Thanks for always showing bank anglers some love. We appreciate it more than you know. I'm actually downloading the app as I type this. I'll let you know how much it helps. ✌🏾
Your videos are so helpful! I love that you don't forget about all of us pond fishing bank beaters! I really do appreciate all the amazing content! Keep it up! 🤟🏻
Great video! I don't have any electronics and I'm relatively new to fishing so the idea of estimating water depth with a fishing lure is just brilliant
great advice. I fished most of my life from the shore, wish I had know that stuff back then when I was younger lol. Now I'm ready for the great boat fishing tips!
Great video, maybe the most helpful yet for pond fishing. With the recent recent up and down weather in Texas and now all this rain in the south, how do you think the bass are behaving, they have to be confused don't they? Seems like a large number of big bass have been caught. I feel like you could do a video just on this recent weather.
I agree with being prepared!! I always have a backpack full of stuff. The only difference is that I carry 10 rods around with me. I'd rather bring more rods and not have to change my lure constantly on my rods. This is a FANTASTIC video!! Thanks for thinking of us bank fishers!!😎👊🎣
@@TylersReelFishing 😂I know right?! My rods are all different lengths and the reels are on the rods at different heights, so none of the reels bump into each other. I kinda just put the rods against each other and carry them all in one hand. It's a workout, but it is worth it!!
Great video. I upsized my bag from a bag that carried a single 3500 size box and 2/3 soft plastics to a bag that can handle a 3700 box plus a 3600 sized worm bag that I can carry 4-6 bags of plastics. I found I had to guess on conditions with the smaller bag and if I guessed wrong I found I wish I had 1/2back baits for the opposite condition. .... ModF is a bank anglers friend. M/modF, MH/modF covers everything I need in two rods for casting and then one spinning rod for finesse.
Great video Tyler. These videos are keeping me sane. I haven't caught a bass since 10 November...dang winter...it'd 23 outside and my truck doors are frozen shut🥶🥶🥶
T, does it have a diary feature? Where I can write down how the fishing went, what I used, conditions and date? This might also be a way to refine the app as people use it. I’m sure there is a format w an algorithm that smarter guys than me could figure out so it helps the end user as well as the app itself. Basically and electronic feedback for the app and a log for the end user. Just a thought
I watch my line for the sink rate. My pond is super shallow at 8-10’ but it sure helps in deeper casts especially when I’m yo-yoing my lipless in early spring. Man does that catch them. When you coming to fish? See ya at the Classic bro!
I only have 1 rod, what are your thoughts on putting a swivel on the end of my line so I can change baits faster and saving time? is a swivel going to effect catching bass?
Throw a weight on there! Or just count a really long time haha. Probably better to throw a jig around to learn the contours so you know for the future.
Hey Tyler just a question for pre spawn. So the 2 ponds I go to are just really weeds and mud but whenever I go their during prespawn/spawn the bass/perch has made craters in the mud for their nesting ground and whenever I cast over that specific shallow area I always catch the most fish (some big some small). How come the fish make craters for the nesting grounds? and why do they prefer shallow water then deep water? But really good video
That’s hilarious. My local pond is intensely pressured and I still catch 3-4lbs largies on vibrating jigs year round when people struggling to catch dinks out of the same spots. Glad to see we got something in common haha. TX ponds are the best tbh !
@@TylersReelFishing thanks bro, I’m always a dummy when it comes to colors and water clarity so it would be huge. Thanks brother, btw I’m the guy who passed you at ChikFilA at Love field, pointed and said “Tyler!?” Haha. Great channel bro keep up the work.
Hello Tyler I love your fishing tips videos can you please do a Walmart challenge luer video of you and your wife picking as many fishing lures you and your wife can pick but blindfolded please thank
There's a high pressure pond by my house and it doesn't matter what I throw. I can't get bit, I don't see anyone else get it either but I've seen bass shad and bluegill and it gets stocked
If there's brush piles grass an pads fish will hide there in the summer. Tyler's situation if he fishes there in the summer yes bass will go deep. There's little covor an shade lines so deeper water works. Places I fish have alot of lilly pad brush piles an shade lines towards the shore. If you're in areas with covor from brush shade lines from branches over water in the 2 to 4 ft region yes fish these covor areas an shade. Always go deeper when there's no shade or structure
one of the stigmas in fishing that i dont understand is that finesse fishing isnt fun. i love finesse fishing its almost all i do. granted, there is no funner way to catch fish than on a frog but next to that i love wacky rigging a senko and just sitting back and watching the line in anticipation. its also that im not a great reaction bait fisherman which is what im going to work on this year
Does size matter? Everyone always links stuff in the description, and then when I go buy them, the baits always have multiple sizes, especially hard baits.
The theory is sound about the backpack and carrying more gear but as you get older you’ll find less is more . Knowing your pond is the biggest thing to help you streamline your gear . 4 rods is the sweet spot for me pond fishing. Top , middle , bottom and finesse . All your bases are covered
For sure, once you know, the intricacies of your pond, you can definitely bring a lot less gear. I hardly ever fish the same pond back to back though, so I am always trying out new things.

I had no idea you helped create bass forecast. I absolutely love that app and premium is worth it and not extremely over priced.

Really helpful, I’m stepping up my pond game and getting ready for a great year bassing it up.
Bass forecast is awesome. Thanks for all your work on that app. Thanks for posting on this Texas ice storm day!
Another great vid Tyler! Thanks for always showing bank anglers some love. We appreciate it more than you know. I'm actually downloading the app as I type this. I'll let you know how much it helps. ✌🏾
Heck yeah!!
Ditto on the appreciation
Agree on the chatter. Works wonders in both those ponds 🤘

your videos genuinely help me catch a lot more fish, thank you tyler

Done plenty of those the last 3 years! You got lots to catch up on👍🏼

How the flip you carry 10 rods??😂

Deeper Sonar needs to sponsor some of the pond videos. Game changer!!! #Deeper #DeeperSonar
Exactly!! I LOVE my deeper pro +

Can you go into further detail about what those three poles you would recommend are action and length ect?
Tyler, thank you for the video. When I click on the link for the thunder cricket, what size do you recommend?
Depends how deep you’re fishing. Shallow, go with 3/8 or 1/2. Deep, go with 5/8
You're the best Tyler! Good lil trick to keep me watching! It worked!
Hehe let’s go
I only have 1 rod, what are your thoughts on putting a swivel on the end of my line so I can change baits faster and saving time? is a swivel going to effect catching bass?
Excellent video. Tyler, how do i determine the depth if i fish weighless texas rigged soft plastics?
Throw a weight on there! Or just count a really long time haha. Probably better to throw a jig around to learn the contours so you know for the future.
Does that bass forecast work on any pond or lake? I’ve used a different app before that didn’t have our county lake in it.

Exactly the vid i could use right now
Great vid Tyler, thanks for the help!
Happy to help!
Thanks for the awesome video Tyler!
No problem!
Tyler can I give you and Bass Forecast a feature suggestion that would be killer?! Color of lures based on water stain and state!
Noted!
@@TylersReelFishing thanks bro, I’m always a dummy when it comes to colors and water clarity so it would be huge. Thanks brother, btw I’m the guy who passed you at ChikFilA at Love field, pointed and said “Tyler!?” Haha. Great channel bro keep up the work.
Feels like pond fishing is way off in the distance here in NY but it will be here before we know it!
Time to go catch this 12 pounder now 🎣
Go do it!!
Needed this
w tip video
Jerkbait is my go-to around this time in Houston tx
A great lure for houston ponds!
Great job. The app is amazing too. Well worth the cost.
And just wait till march… the app updates we have coming will blow your mind
“Fishing my filming😂”
Yo I love your videos keep it up
Great video!
Is reservoir fishing different from pond fishing? Because I could use that juice, all ponds near me are private, and I don't own a boat
This applies to any angler, but applies closest to one’s who fish from the bank

Drop shot. Learn it, use it
Love it tyler
Great video ++
You need to edit the video and add in pond tip 6…. How to catch bass during freezing rain and sleet on NTX ponds after the false pre spawn period 😂😂😂
It’s called “stay inside”😂😂

You are definitely not wrong. A stigma that needs to be broken. I’ll work on that 👍🏼
Does size matter? Everyone always links stuff in the description, and then when I go buy them, the baits always have multiple sizes, especially hard baits.
Just DM me on Instagram and I’ll help ya. Yes, sometimes they do. Better yet, bring that question to a members only zoom hang
hey what’s up, i’m Dan Bonarigos student, do you remember him?
Yes! Tell him I say hi!
Tyler whats up ? Hey those shorts you and everyone else are posting rarely come through clear. They are always scribbled out. Just a heads up..
How so?
How about bank fishing a river?
Find current breaks. Always
Hold up, pulls out calculator- 0 fish x 5 = 0 fish.
Sum of a beach, Tyler was right!
Hahaha
I haven't fished for so long. I almost forget what it's like...
same 😂
IS THIS MALLARD LAKES?!
I just got my chatterbait stuck on a rock. $10 down the drain
0x5 = 0 😂😂
Dumb question: do all ponds have bass?
No, many do not. Only way you can tell is by fishing though!
The theory is sound about the backpack and carrying more gear but as you get older you’ll find less is more . Knowing your pond is the biggest thing to help you streamline your gear . 4 rods is the sweet spot for me pond fishing. Top , middle , bottom and finesse . All your bases are covered
