Great advice at 17:10! Always be practicing, always be learning, always be getting better. The more we learn, the better we get, the more we can pass on to the next generation.
hey man awesome video, just what I was looking for. going to be at a wall this week and hopefully going to land a big one. Was thinking instead of texas rigged crawl a weighted hook craw instead so it falls more horizontal rather than nose dives. (dout a hungry bass will care either way)
View around 9 mins is awesome. I know you've seen other comments on your other videos about how much people love it. Mean props on pumping out videos too man.
Great info and great demonstration. I have two similar Bluff walls in a clear water, primary Smallmouth Reservoir. Both walls tilt back about 10° and are full of features, shelves, trees, jetties and a rock pile base. One wall is full of fish. The other is void. It took me four seasons to validate that the baron wall was void of the primary forage (stunted Kokanee) of this Reservoir, for whatever reason, current, orientation water temps?? Now I'm just a happy ass fisherman who catches plenty of smallies on one wall and for some reason 'occasionally goes back to the other' fishless wall because it just looks so damn good. Lol
Nice - another good bit of info - thanks man. We have a lot of strip pits out by us so I'll have to try pitching a creature up towards the walls. I tend to stay away from these because of inexperience, really.
Love this video. On Cherokee lake in Northeast Tennessee, we have a lot of those bluff walls. I use a zoom speed craw most of the time but I really want to get good at using a jig. Keep it up!! GO DAWGS!!
Awesome Video!!!! Question: could you make a video where you fish a lake with no fish/depth finder at all? Would really help me learn how to find fish without them. Thanks!
Tyler Mccarthy Try looking for points of land that jut out into the water they usually hold fish almost all year. Also watch the bank for any changes such as mud to sand or mud to rock and just fish the transition line from shallow out to deep. A carolina rigged worm is great for these areas because you can feel the bottom very well with it. Crankbaits will also work if your digging bottom you can tell when you go from rock to mud. Also if you lake has muscles in them these are also good places to hold bass. Good luck!
I appreciate the helpful comment. I actually do use a lot of those techniques on my lake. It is just hard to find exactly what sections of the lake to choose. I will keep working at it though. Thank you!
Love this info! Broken Bow lake there are a ton of bluff walls so can't wait to put the knowledge to test. Side bar: How about an instagram story or something showing how you mounted your transducer to your mayfly? I just picked one up and would love to see how you rigged it through the scupper.
Gene. Thank you!!! I fish the Lake of the Ozarks, MO and the entire main channel of the 100 mile lake is basically bluffs. Never really known how to fish them but a lot of the guides here say it's great for catching fish bass. Been waiting for a video like this and boom. You're the man. Any tips on the right drop-shot Rod?
Excellent video Gene. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I have found that bluff ends can be a predictable location to find bass as well. Have you found this to be the case?
Fluke, I'm moving to a new place on the snake river (Oregon/Idaho border) got a private boat ramp and dock. Come catch some of the monster smallies we have!
so when you are skipping your lure like you were towards the end of the video how do you keep your reel from backlashing? Cause usually either i get a skip and it backlashes or I don't get the bait to skip and it don't backlash.... didn't know if you had any tips for skipping that will keep your reel from backlashing
Hey Fluke, when you're pitching, do you completely loosen your brakes and/or cast control knob? I find that if I have my reel dialed in to cast I can't get much distance when pitching. But i'm a noob, so maybe i'm just doing it wrong lol.
Flukemaster - I think your throwing a concept C reel. But can't tell which 13 Fishing rod you're working? Not seeing your post to Tackle Warehouse on what you fished with during the video like you say you will/do. Lol
Might just be me, but thank you for still doing informative fishing videos and not just random videos about your day!
The free swinging spinnerbaits are awesome for sure. Great video Gene.
Great advice at 17:10! Always be practicing, always be learning, always be getting better. The more we learn, the better we get, the more we can pass on to the next generation.
you're a good patient pitcher. I like your attitude and attention to detail. Nice video.
Bro, super informative video. I’m looking at all your videos and learning a lot. Your the best RUclipsr.
Great video and tips! I was trying to fish cliffs a couple weeks ago with a friend and wasn't doing well.
hey man awesome video, just what I was looking for. going to be at a wall this week and hopefully going to land a big one. Was thinking instead of texas rigged crawl a weighted hook craw instead so it falls more horizontal rather than nose dives. (dout a hungry bass will care either way)
Great video Gene! I really like how you combined casting and explaining.
Your boat looks great man it's what catches my attention the most in your videos lol thanks for the tips btw!
Bluff walls are on of my favorite things to fish, luckily in East Tennessee we have a bunch! Keep it up Gene I've been a fan for a long time!
View around 9 mins is awesome. I know you've seen other comments on your other videos about how much people love it. Mean props on pumping out videos too man.
+Jim Taylor thanks Jim.
Never mind, you actually showed that view alot Haha just finished the video.
Love the show great info love the part about a bad day practice getting it my lake got some world famous bluffs
Great info and great demonstration.

Love the dragonfly photobomb at 1:39

nice video FLUKE!! I fish Big Horn Reservoir a lot and it is a canyon type of lake with straight cliff drop offs! thanks this video was helpful
Have you tried the freedom lures spinnerbait? Also a free swinging hook
Thanks for this video gene. Live and fish a highland res every week. Could not find a good video for this just last night
This is a really good video and helps me alot on the mississippi pool 7 in wisconsin, thanks gene
Great info. I did the same thing last Friday in Az, I used a lipless crank instead of a spinnerbait.
So helpful!!! Most of my lake is bluff wall thanks
Another great video Gene. Keep it up
Great video. I'll be trying this on the French River in Northern Ontario in a couple of weeks.
Great info on working those bluff walls...
BTW - You said "Wilson, Pickwick"... as in lakes. I heard Wilson Pickett... as in the singer...
Can u talk about how you would fish rocky areas in the summer?
could you do a video centered around like how to fish a tournament as both a coangler and a main angler?
Great info. Thanks. I will have to try some of this on the bluff walls at Watts Bar. 👍🏻
Love this video. On Cherokee lake in Northeast Tennessee, we have a lot of those bluff walls. I use a zoom speed craw most of the time but I really want to get good at using a jig. Keep it up!! GO DAWGS!!
Junyaahs Settin' Hooks ya, my second fav. lake.. but it's east Tenn . 100% of the lakes have some type of bluff wall on some part of the lake, ha.
Junyaahs Settin' Hooks I fished a tournament on Cherokee a few weeks ago didn't have a keeper lol
Cherokee has some good fish in it, but its been really tuff this year.
Do you use similar baits during the winter months too?
Awesome
Video!!!!

Pulling Drag, fluke master... I second that getting a more Garmin myself... #scouton

Yes in many cases.
Great video! Thanks for sharing!! This video needed to be made!
+Natural State Angle Thanks.
Fluke, I'm moving to a new place on the snake river (Oregon/Idaho border) got a private boat ramp and dock. Come catch some of the monster smallies we have!
I use a "rage rig" for this. 1/2 oz belly weighted swim bait hook with a rage craw
Works great
so when you are skipping your lure like you were towards the end of the video how do you keep your reel from backlashing? Cause usually either i get a skip and it backlashes or I don't get the bait to skip and it don't backlash.... didn't know if you had any tips for skipping that will keep your reel from backlashing
In your opinion, is there any place for a deeper jerkbait like a Staysee 90 when fishing bluff walls?
I was fishing that exact spot 2 weeks ago. Put a zoom swimming fluke in Tennessee shad on that Texas rig and the bass will hit it hard.
Pls do an origin c reel review
What's your top 5 favorite baits for dirty water
That helped a lot thanks man!
Hey Fluke, when you're pitching, do you completely loosen your brakes and/or cast control knob? I find that if I have my reel dialed in to cast I can't get much distance when pitching. But i'm a noob, so maybe i'm just doing it wrong lol.
Go to my channel page and search for How to Flip and pitch. It covers that.
Thank ya sir! Great vid as always.
Flukemaster - I think your throwing a concept C reel. But can't tell which 13 Fishing rod you're working? Not seeing your post to Tackle Warehouse on what you fished with during the video like you say you will/do. Lol
Brian if you click on Show more under Published Aug 8 it will show his tackle
Pls do another in depth vid on this
What lures do you fish on the bluff walls during the fall?
Is it possible for you to do a swim jig video?
I was going to do one on this trip but I left my swimjigs at home.
Fluke u r my Inspiration!!!😁😁😁
Why do you peg your weight on bluff walls ? Just wondering
Love the videos
Thanks Daniel
Does this apply to smallmouth fishing on bluff walls? How would you fish bluff walls for smallies?
+ZaygonHD yes
Are you going to put a "G" on your new boat?! UGA! It's gonna be a great season!
+Brandon Duke Yep. It need to get around to doing that.
Nice video keep it up
Do a video on the garmins dude
Or at least do a video scanning with them as part of something else. interested to see what the image looks like compared to the simulations in store
What part of TN are you from?
Another really good bait is a ned rig I can always catch em on that
Always? It’s been a technique for about 6 months
@@Davo2233 to you maybe. It may have just caught on mainstream but its been around far longer than 6 months
And I thought this was the time when Gene was going to recommend a wacky rig for the first time. Nope. :P
+Francis Ducharme I almost did.
Do a video in a canal
Subbed bro.
+Mike West thanks man.
I’d love to fish with Mr. Flukemaster
Hope you don't mind but I talked about you on my video.
What's the green rod
+Squash Man!! It's the 13 Fishing Fate Black Gen2. It will be in stores in November
What up fluke
All of lake powell is bluff walls sooo.... I'm gonna kill it!
Notification gang
Yut
When would you fish a Texas rig vs a jig?
Fishing by my house
i hate bluff walls...i cant tell what my lure is doing except falling...or maybe it landed on a small ledge....or maybe its still falling...ARRRGH!
Why does the audio sound like your underwater
Sounds good to me
Jdog 11 the first part of the video was bad, but I could here when he actually started fishing
+Nolan Abell The GoPro Hero5's microphones were supposed to be great. They suck. I won't do that again.
Fluke, sounds like a sasquatch in your video...lol
Dude. You need a new profile picture. It doesn't even look like you since you have your beard grown out now. 😂
+Daniel Jones Lol. That was my first Chickamauga bass though.
Flukemaster It sure is a beauty. Do you have a video of you catching it?
+Daniel Jones Nope.
Drop shot?????
Not todaaaaaaay lol

Audio is junk
