Please do a good night fishing video. I only fish nights from June to September and you can’t find any good videos on it. Love TB and don’t miss an episode! Thanks
@@gitz-zumthanks for sharing, cause all i do is texas rig hott dogs, lately i been throwing maple sausage, shrimp, however i wanna use salt water baits in fresh water for channel cats
@@krdpoutdoorsno problem grab those or a couple I would definitely go with a chatterbait and buzzbait just make sure to grab a pack or 2 of some trailers to throw on back and u will catch some decent night time bass I usually use a swimbait like rage swimmer or Ozark trail at night just str8 retrieve them med to slow speed
Fished an event on West Point Lake here in Georgia a couple of weeks ago. Power fished main lake points and shade pockets most of the day and caught some smaller fish. Weigh in was gonna be at 330, I put on a Vision110 Jr+1 and started throwing it around bridge pilings in 30-40 foot of water and caught 15 bass in the last hour and half. Finished the event in 1st place, could not believe how that went down, so im definetly a believer in trying something different after that.
Had to laugh when you said they know the baits by now. I’m certain that when they hear my truck door close at the ponds I’ve fished all year, they all say, “Oh hell, here comes that bone Choppo 90…🙄”. 🤣🤣🤣 I have picked up some new baits lately to throw, and have used some different presentations. The bite definitely picked up.
My biggest mistake is probably fishing the same baits that I've done well with from spring on.......hard to not throw those....I'm going to change it up this weekend......lately the fish have been out in open water suspended with shad.. this is the time of year fish need a break from anglers pounding them daily...unfortunately, these same fish don't get much of a break these days with FFS exposing all of them in every lake from alot of anglers...may try the lipless yo-yo technique for those suspended fish this weekend..can't say I've tried that before
My biggest mistake is fishing the same area that I'm comfortable with. Sometimes that dumb out the box cast is the best cast where you think fish aren't. My lake is a grass lake thick healthy green grass so it can be overwhelming to most. Tomorrow when I go out I plan on fishing the areas I don't normally fish often
Yall ever use the hybrid hunter? If so that's the video I want. I smack'em on it everywhere ! And it's usually more quality fish just like a jig gets. And it's a "grass crank" but for me it's a "if there's water then throw it" crank.
Hey Tim! Really enjoyed this video. I struggle with the opposite of that shallow water point. I have moved from some shallow ponds in Michigan to deeper reservoirs and man made ponds in Boise, and i have shoehorned myself into shallow fishing. My comfort baits are generally bellows gills, yamatanuki, and the fat ika skipping under trees and other bottom contact stuff (jigs in random deeper spots, but generally 10-15ft on ledges) but i also love a good 6 inch mag draft or a chatterbait. I went from shore fishing and kind of randomly going off of what i knew, to kayak fishing with 2d sonar and I've been trying to turn that randomness into actual information for myself. But offshore fishing doesn't come naturally to me at all, at this point. My main issue is our ponds are aerated and fed from the Boise river, so I JUST got done fishing some spawning fish last weekend. But in another nearby pond, they spawned over a month ago. The southern pond closest to the river is 69F, one north of it is 73F and the furthest north is 77F. In that order, though, its also seemingly based on clarity. The coolest lake is the clearest. Odd setup and its taken me some time to understand. But it seems since there is no thermocline on these lakes (ive talked to a lot of people and the temps are the same from 5ft to 35ft) they don't relate to a certain depth or column of water quite like I'd expect. I think my main issue is going back to the shallows, instead of sticking it out offshore to figure it out further. Hoping to work on that the rest of the year.
Great video as always Tim. I know that you guys have put a lot of swimbait videos on this channel however i was wondering if you could make a video specifically for the magdraft.
I switched from the black whopper plopper 110 that I was killing with in the spring to not even getting a bite to a silent 90 size munky butt and it was like every other cast as I was walking the bank. Very good tip my guy
July and August nights are the bomb! Juter woodchoper fishcake each makes a different sound. Just before the sun starts to rise move to rock and catch the best smallmouth of the year! Love the night.
I have had great success at nite throwing a black single blade spinner bait when they don't hot a buzzer it can be killer its all in the blade dosent have to be a big Colorado depending upon water clarity
Fishing the middle of the day is very rare for me. I’m either at work or we are doing our normal family routine. The small opportunities I’ve had though have been rewarding.
Tournament fishing during the summer…please try and get the word out: Anglers can add 1/8 cup of hydrogen peroxide to a recirculating livewell (18-24 gallon) and it will provide all the O2 that the fish need. I see way too many expired fish during summer tournaments. Works perfect any time of the year, but when oxygen is very low in warmer temps, it’s a life saver.
Upstate NY , very small lake about 1 mile long by .5 mile wide at longest point (maybe) max depth 29ft. Summer - it turns 75% pad fields. I’ve been froggin about 250yards or so of grass in 4-5 hours a day. Working an area over for sometimes a full hour of I know there’s a fish in casting distance . Caught 14.4 pounds with 3 fish the other day including a 6.25 which is massive for this lake.. or so I thought. All Summer long I’ve missed GIANTS and they’re in the thickest of thick grass- usually really shallow or wherever gets most shade OR creek current coming in- but extremely heavy cover- once you hook one there’s 0 give on letting it swim down into the stems of the pads you HAVE to keep its head up above the stems , there’s been certain instances I got smoked by a boil you’d see from a carp up shallow-but was no carp, and apparently my gear wasn’t strong enough to keep its head up so it would’ve had to of been 7+ , my rod and reel can keep a 7 up along w my immaculate forearm strength (kayak angler) 😂..but no kidding, shade, bluegill, and some type of water coming in consistently keeps these big fish shallow..they’ve never been caught- there’s zero anglers who fish like me in the area - mostly live bait fishermen, im a very well rounded tournament angler.... i 100% of time have the pads and grass to myself. I’m curious on a GREAT heavy cover frog??? I’ve been using scum frogs and pad crashesrs and hook up is 50/50 sometimes worse. A lot of times they throw the frog when they come up n hit it if it’s by a pad, but I need something I can make long casts with and hooks up better than 50%
Mistake i made night fishing is not taking extra clothes socks shoes etc....ive fell in a few times....and it couid be deadly if u fish nights in winter like i do

They have several videos on night fishing from years past. Worth a watch if you haven’t made it to them yet.
They have done a few good ones in the past. However, I would love to see a new one because I love night fishing too.
Spinnerbait chatterbait buzzbait popper my go to bait for night it's basically all I fish plus a dropshot if I have too

Boat traffic kills mid day for me. It’s absolutely insane on Kentucky lake. I can’t wait till fall and winter!!

Sitting in my kayak at noon when its 115 degrees outside and wake boats are going by about 20 feet away is when i catch my biggest fish.
The only reason I don't fish in the middle of the Day is all the pleasure boats running around! I get to frustrated to enjoy myself!
Tim that was awesome the gentleman stopped and said Massachusetts,that’s where I live and awesome video ❤
I have had great success at nite throwing a black single blade spinner bait when they don't hot a buzzer it can be killer its all in the blade dosent have to be a big Colorado depending upon water clarity
Thanks!
Great job tim,thank you for the tips for N California still, I usually blow by the giant bluff walls, looking always for the "color line" .

I'm from Upstate NY and on vacation fishing in Massachusetts, awesome!

You guys should go after some smallmouth in New England we have some good fisheries!
I really liked how you send HI on camera even though you are filming. Bassmd
This was great information. Thank you.

7 months in of fishing season....MN opens in may and freezes back by 1st of nov 😂.
I have caught hundreds of bass at night using buzz baits and even double buzz and the 130 and even the 190 whopper plopper!
What about northern states where our summer days are 90 max? Washington state specifically
Well, now we gotta have Tim come on and do a deep nighttime fishing video.
Great video.
I like using Glory Beach
Hey Tim, regarding the 10xd and other magnum cranks. What size do you recommend for swapping the stock split rings that come on the line tie?
We swap down to size 5, it's a much better tie point. Great question!
Mistake i made night fishing is not taking extra clothes socks shoes etc....ive fell in a few times....and it couid be deadly if u fish nights in winter like i do
My worst mistake is fishing the month of August. Its my worst month ever and every year I say I'm just not going to fish in august
Scrounger Video please.
Between 10 and 2
Life's to short not fish any chance I get. -40 or 100 deg let's go I got the spots
We all know damn well that guy has this channel on 24/7 😂
😂
