2:51am..... tried to go to bed but this video kept me awake and with my notebook next to me. TONS of info...TONS.....great video.....THANKS A LOT SIR.....great info and very detailed for an amateur.... Thanks again...!!!
Thanks for the "road stare" mention. caught myself doing that yesterday. I remembered this video, and switched to a spinner as the day ended and got a 5.12 as the sun set. Thanks again Nick! Great advice as always!
using this video and your tips for bank anglers videos i have switched up my game and have had some AMAZING days. THABK YOU BROTHER! even got my lady into fishing because we wete hitting em so hard ounching thru our scum pond. amazing tips. keep it up
+Robert Rodriguez still falls under those categories...just think fresh and salt water don't need to be said when you can just say fishing...lol that was my point
I just got a nice inflatable kayak. I've been on a hot streak catching Bass. I'm trying to get on the Delta but I want to avoid main channels. Can you give me some advice on nice places to Kayak fish. The Delta has to have tons of places.....Thank you
Can you do a video that would be explain what humps,points ect mean for those onshore fishermen that don't have to much experience on open water. Or for those that just got a fish finding product. Basic and tips and tricks. Thx for all you hard work man keep it up!!
I've never had any luck with a frog out here lol I'm in Clearlake oaks. And I fish at the pier over here. I would love to see a bass blow up on a Frog in real life. I live vicariously through my fav youtubers lol
Hey man love the videos. I doubt you'll see this but I got a huge question for you that i cant seem to find the answer to anywhere. Not sure if my baitcasting reel is just a P.O.S or what but I cant seem to adjust my tension knob loose enough for lighter crankbaits and light lures ect. Am I doing something wrong or whats the deal because it ends in many birds nests and casts too short to even be worth it. Thanks for your time.
Kieron Edwards surmising from your statement in-part "can't seem to adjust my tension knob loose enough" you got a problem with your tension knob. If you back off your tension knob enough even a light lure should fall immediately and cause an overrun.
There was a point in time where i had it so loose that i made a cast and it fell off into the water. Ordered the replacement and all was well but as of now i just make sure to buy the slightly bigger crankbaits. Not really sure what to do other than throw slightly heavier stuff
nice video very helpful in have a question I'm not sure if you have answered this in one of your videos I sure you have. Im from ca the la county area and I been fishing for about 6 years now but bank fishing can't afford a boat unfortunately now ive always just fished trout, catfish, bluegill, and crappie now don't get me wrong casting and relaxing waiting for a bite is fun and all but I want to start fishing more for those bigger bites like bass I watch your videos and see you catch and work for those fish and I want to learn now I've caught bass before but by accident I guess you can say when I'm fishing for trout or cat the baby bass bite instead so my question is what would you recommend a beginner bass fisherman like myself to get as far as my first bass rod and reel combo I know walmart has a Shakespeare combo for a cheap price but I have no clue if that's the way to go or should I spend a bit more or is that ok any help would be great thank you in advance love the videos
George my golf bag holds 14 golf clubs and each club serves a different purpose. On any given fishing trip there are six rods and reels on my boat. The rod rack in my garage has about 30!!! Okay don't go nervous bro you don't need to buy 30 rods but you do need to provide some more helpful information before choosing what 2 or 3 rods out of that 30 you want to purchase!! Assuming from your comment that you'll be spending 90% of your time on the bank. How about the water you're fishing in is it clear, cloudy, muddy? Is it a lake or river a reservoir a pond? Do you fish all year long? Are you going after Largemouth mouth Smallmouth Striped bass? All of the above? We can go on forever with questions to help assist with how to find the right rod and reel combo for you. So here's the most helpful advice to you George. keep watching RUclips videos on how to choose a bass rod and reel combo. Give a little more credit to the guys in the videos wearing those silly-looking stock car racing shirts!! they've earned the right to wear that goofy shirt by fishing just a little bit better than the average guy. But remember they're just trying to sell you the crap that's on that shirt so they can fish for free :-) When you watch the videos keep in mind what kind of fishing you'll be doing where, when and how and what information from those videos applies to you and your fishing. This way you won't wind up with a rod and reel that does not best suit you and your fishing situation! Good luck to you my brother. btw: this Nick dude has a crapload of videos that are extremely helpful and occasionally he wears a silly shirt too and he earned it!!!
Edwardo Perez yea well in my area socal i only know of a couple lakes not the clearest water unfortunately and from my knowledge of fishing them over the years they only have large mouth bass and one has striper im trying to find pounds around my area or golf courses that allow to fish there ponds but its been a search with not so much luck and yes your right about nick i watch his videos alot and his name does suit him hes very informative i do watch alot of youtube videos like you suggested but not many that ive found show fishing around my area im sure there's videos i just haven't had luck finding them and the two youtubers i found that make videos around my area dont want to say the location of the pounds they fish they say its a secret
+george araiza Lmao yep every bass fisherman has their secret spot(s). Try this for your first Bass rig. If you want to go to Walmart as you said and save a few bucks go ahead and get the Shakespeare Ugly Stik E-lite 7'-0" Graphite, medium - heavy (MH) rod. It comes with the Abu Garcia Black Max 5 Bearing baitcaster reel. It's a pretty good utility setup for a reasonable price. Check out IF's video on how to cast a baitcaster. I'm sure you own a decent spinning combo already that you can use for finesse fishing (lightweight line and lightweight baits). Your new baitcaster will work great for fishing line in the 10 to 20lb range and lures of all types in the 1/4 to 1 ounce weight range. Its pretty well suited for casting from the bank. I'm guessing in about 15 years you're going to have 30 rods in your garage..lol.. welcome to the double-digit largemouth bass chase.
VERY GOOD INFORMATION I love your vids. so when are you gonna do a tackle giveaway? I can just image the great tackle that would be in it with your fishing knowledge
BENTROD FISHING!! it's good all year bro check out Rio Vista if your close say coming from Fairfield past the Rio Vista bridge take first right at light go forward round the bend look to your right and then right past chain link it will open up and you'll see the little "finger"... Thank me later👊👊👊... high tides better but you can catch fish at any time... #bankyankclassic on G+ check it out.
what do i do when the fish (where i live) wont bite ANYTHING but live bait but i cant get live bait everytime, it seems like the fish nibble at everything first and then if its real they will eat it but if not (even if it is flavoured or scented) they will just ignore it
Going on vacation end of the month up to the Adirondacks NY for a week of fishing. We are going to put our new fishing pontoon to work. Finally got my lowrance hook2 5TS fish finder working bad transducer. Able to mark wave points and bottom structure to find bass also finally got temp reading all set ready to slay them . Thanks for the informative video lot of tips to try out.

No don't get Shakespeare, I would recommend something like an Abu Garcia Black Max reel it can be found at Walmart for like 40 bucks and the bmax3 is a pretty good starter reel, pair it up with something like a 7' med/hvy Abu Garcia Vendetta 2 rod, they are like 80 bucks and a great starter rod, hope this helps.
+kushcrumbleshatter1990 thanks I took your suggestions and headed to bass pro but was told they were out of stock so what I did so my trip wouldn't be a waste I went ahead and purchased bass pros tourney special rod and reel combo is that one worth the buy?
+george araiza A long time ago I purchased the tourney special spinning combo for shakey head fishing and I still have it today it works flawless and I've put it to the test so I'm sure the baitcast combo is good too, I've never heard anything bad about them as far as being a good starter combo.
kushcrumbleshatter1990 yes the baitcaster combo I've tried looking up videos about it but can't find one on the specific one I've purchased I'm also trying to find good ponds around here in socal not sure how good bass fishing is here

Thank you for the information.
I've never had any luck with a frog out here lol I'm in Clearlake oaks. And I fish at the pier over here. I would love to see a bass blow up on a Frog in real life. I live vicariously through my fav youtubers lol

VERY GOOD INFORMATION I love your vids. so when are you gonna do a tackle giveaway? I can just image the great tackle that would be in it with your fishing knowledge
Thank you! I do giveaways on my FaceBook and Instagram
you should do a video on big bait options. I know about big topwater, big worms, and big swimbaits. what else is there?
A bunch, I might have to do that ones
haha thanks nick! what part of the delta is this? i was out there about a week or 2 ago an had the hardest time finding any decent spots
Great color Grassburner @5:23
you should start your own fishing club.. .5star pro in the east delta.. keep them vids coming
Thanks Jose, someday maybe when I retire
Hey was wondering how the fishing is there during October an the fall season around the ca delta that is
BENTROD FISHING!! it's good all year bro check out Rio Vista if your close say coming from Fairfield past the Rio Vista bridge take first right at light go forward round the bend look to your right and then right past chain link it will open up and you'll see the little "finger"... Thank me later👊👊👊... high tides better but you can catch fish at any time... #bankyankclassic on G+ check it out.
great info thanks !
@InfofmativeFisherman Thanks Nick, your RUclips name says it all Brother! Very Informative
Thanks Carlton!
when the bite gets very tough like you were talking about at the end of the video should you down size and go to a finesse bait like the dropshot?
Yep!
what do i do when the fish (where i live) wont bite ANYTHING but live bait but i cant get live bait everytime,
it seems like the fish nibble at everything first and then if its real they will eat it but if not (even if it is flavoured or scented) they will just ignore it
What was the name of that app you said to check the depth
what if you have a very over pressured pads and you have no deep water caver
The funny thing is everything you said about bass holding spots is about the same for catfish!
Is top water possible In Clearlake. I never have any luck with any rattletraps. Or frogs
Yes the frog is good there right now, buzzbaits too!
love the commercials btw
Going on vacation end of the month up to the Adirondacks NY for a week of fishing. We are going to put our new fishing pontoon to work. Finally got my lowrance hook2 5TS fish finder working bad transducer. Able to mark wave points and bottom structure to find bass also finally got temp reading all set ready to slay them . Thanks for the informative video lot of tips to try out.
Thank you
A little man, just sayin'
Great job by the way, as usual
summer time bass fishing and Florida summer time bass fishing are two different things and need separate explanation
Very similar methods right now
So with that being said...I keep hearing RUclipsrs use pitching and flipping synonymously. They are not the same thing.
You're correct but the terminology of flippin' is used for both pitching and flipping
Maybe drop all the commercials and I'd finish the video
nice video very helpful in have a question I'm not sure if you have answered this in one of your videos I sure you have. Im from ca the la county area and I been fishing for about 6 years now but bank fishing can't afford a boat unfortunately now ive always just fished trout, catfish, bluegill, and crappie now don't get me wrong casting and relaxing waiting for a bite is fun and all but I want to start fishing more for those bigger bites like bass I watch your videos and see you catch and work for those fish and I want to learn now I've caught bass before but by accident I guess you can say when I'm fishing for trout or cat the baby bass bite instead so my question is what would you recommend a beginner bass fisherman like myself to get as far as my first bass rod and reel combo I know walmart has a Shakespeare combo for a cheap price but I have no clue if that's the way to go or should I spend a bit more or is that ok any help would be great thank you in advance love the videos
