Been watching you for year’s fluke master. I remember watching you when I was a kid when I 1st started fishing. You helped me catch tons of fish. I’m happy 8 years later I was able to find you and sub again.
nice vid, Gene! Totally agree with you on a medium rod for drop shotting weedless. I have a ML that I use for vertical, but when I’m casting and using a weedless presentation, you definitely need a medium rod to set that hook at times. Go Dawgs!
Dobyns "Fury" makes a 6'8 heavy. I love it. I watched a video of yours last year about a short Frog rod and you are right VERY HARD to find. Highly suggest it.
If I could fish one bait for the rest of my life it would be a wobblehead. It doesn’t snag and it catches everything. I use the gene larew wobblehead because they have a wide range of sizes as well as quality hooks. I also use a mustad wobblehead. Best part of a wobblehead is there really isn’t a wrong way to fish it. Just throw it. I’ll use pretty much any bait on them. Everything from a creature,worm,lizard,or even a tube. I just can’t get enough of it!
Good afternoon. I am a riverbank fisherman here in Fredericton New Brunswick Canada. There are two rivers here with the Nashwaak River that flows into the Saint John River that also tidal water
Sorry if you've mentioned it before but many people usually recommend 3-4 at most 5 ft for a leader....you use 14-15 ft??? Why? would you explain that a little bit please, thank you in advance man. This video was well put together and educational even for an experienced angler
Summer time in maine...cureently uppper 60s to mid 70s ..exactly why i live here now. I cant deal with that heat anymore and im coming from south Alabama! Also known as the 3rd stage of hell with humidity
Any tips for fishing Stone Mountain Lake in late August? I'm from Buffalo and have an opportunity to fish that lake next weekend for half a day. I'd appreciate the tips...planning on skirted jigs, large soft plastics and maybe some topwater. Love your channe.
Happy Independence Day! I went fishing this morning. 4 in the boat before the heat ran me off. 3/0 offset EWG, Yum Dinger, Texas Rig w small bullet weight. Thank you for all your videos!!!!
Gene you're on crack our water temps in North GA, Western NC are still in the low 70s it's like early June we are at least 5 degrees behind last year, but regardless good video and will try some of those in August when it finally warms up lol, btw not complaining love the low temps and catching some absolute post spawn giants!
I have never understood the need for a super high speed retrieve reel! I've always found it easier to speed up with a slower retrieve reel than to sloww down enough for most baits with a real fast reel! Most of my reels are still in the 5.3 : 1 to 5.6 : 1 range.
I look at it this way. For me it's not about retrieval speed because I can slow down if I need to. It's about energy conservation and numbers of casts in a day. It takes less energy to slow down than to speed up. That makes a huge difference when grinding all day long. Then if I can get the bait back to me faster after it's out of the strike zone I can make more casts during a day. More casts means more opportunities to put the bait in front of fish
Gene, I seen your video on July bass fishing, I’ve got a tournament on lake Russel on the 22nd it’s a afternoon from 6pm to 11pm. what would be my best overall bait choice for that day. Thanks John Friar
Happy Independence Day folks! I took this whole week off work to do some house work around the house, and so far I've basically got absolutely nothing done. The only things that I accomplished so far since Friday is I fished Saturday, yesterday I washed the boat after church, napped for a couple hours, today I spooled up a new rod that has just been in a box in my garage that I'm taking out tomorrow to the lake when we go. Oh and I re organized the boat. My goal is to finish my guest room, re paint my bathroom, re finish the shelves in my bathroom because I am getting a new washer and dryer to put in the closet, put a new ceiling fan in the master bedroom, and put a new light fixture in my upstairs bathroom. So with that big long chore list, I'm currently having a beer listening to the video and grilling burgers lol. Tomorrow I'm fishing a local lake that is doing a Wounded Warriors charity event, then meeting up with the rest of the family for a BBQ and fireworks. Wednesday I'm hoping to get out in the morning and fish before I do some house work.
I’m pretty hooked on fishing a jig right now and I don’t want to tie on anything else if I don’t have to. I know you’ve covered jigs in other videos but could you do a video on what jig I should use based off what you were fishing if I was a co-angler fishing out of the back of your boat? For example if you’re fishing a moving bait should I use a bottom contact jig? Or if you’re using a bottom contact bait should I use a swim jig or chatterbait? I’m assuming it’s all going to depend on what the fish want that day but it would be interesting to hear your thoughts if I said, “Jigs only.”😂 Be blessed
@flukemaster is frog fishing worth it in the afternoon? I never really go fishing in the mornings or after sunset since the parks I fish are closed but I normally go around 3 pm to 7 pm on my kayak or bank fishing is the frog even worth it during those times? Also I mostly go fish Tribble mill park if you ever been there
@@Flukemaster that is truly 🤔, Interesting would figure with all the updates in gears lately it would offset that issue but thank you for input ,I'm a big fan, you've taught me a lot over the past few years 💯
God , i cant wait for september cause as an angler september is absute heaven there are no God annoying jet skiers or other boaters and 75%-99% of guys are in the woods

It’s hot here in NC as well, the fish in the ponds I target are in the deep pads in bluegill beds. We appreciate the content! Fish on!

I live in Central California and in my lake Don Pedro, I like to throw a Mussel deep plug right on the Rocky points.

Glad I came.across your channel a month ago...just wish it was 9 years ago..missed a lot of fish not seeing your videos earlier.

Great vid! Can't wait to try out the wobble head with a beaver. Haven't tried this combo before. No reels that fast, but I think my 6 will work fine.
Love your challenge coins on the wall! Great video with wonderful advice! Thanks!
Been waiting for a video like this. Been bank fising at a nearby river/reservoir and havent even had a bite in weeks
Thanks for your service have a great 4th
Thank you

Dingers are money
I'm still using whacky rigs I'm catching alot of bass with those right now
Hey Gene, I see the challenge coin collection.. any chance of a vlog detailing some of those and how folks could maybe send some?
Totally awesome video! Thank you buddy! Appreciate you dropping your knowledge into my pocket!
Brother it is HOT!! I’m a guide on Lake Okeechobee and fishing has slow dramatically.
Thank you

Been using Buzbe boxes for the last year or so they are awesome! Pricey but worth it.
What about august, September, October and November?
Night time !!
Great video Gene hope you have a great and safe 4th
Thanks, you too!

Quit question what’s a good fish finder for a kayak or like a Jon boat not too pricey and btw I live like 4 house up from u 😂
What's your favorite spinning reel good info thanx
Daiwa Revo and Piscufin Carbon X

Sounds like you’re not getting much done to your house 😂

Those look like challenge coins in the back, thank you for your service if you served.
Gene, shad spawn is over the lake is full of shad and schooling bass. All i throw is a shad baits.easily catch 20-40 bass a day with livescope

Thoughts on those new 10:1:1 ratio reels on frogs ? Been eyeballing the AUDI one on ebay
I have one and don’t like it. Every lure feels like it’s twice it’s weight. Just reeling in a 3/8 Texas rig feels like I have a fish on.
@@Flukemaster that is truly 🤔, Interesting would figure with all the updates in gears lately it would offset that issue but thank you for input ,I'm a big fan, you've taught me a lot over the past few years 💯
Can i still throw a fluke? I always go bank fishing and throwing a fluke is just so fun
God , i cant wait for september cause as an angler september is absute heaven there are no God annoying jet skiers or other boaters and 75%-99% of guys are in the woods
Hello
Cool...thankyousir
You're welcome
You hear how Texas is hotter than 99% of the earth right now 🤣, I still gotta fish though
Is your wobble head 3/8 or 1/2oz?
Both. I usually fish a 3/8 unless I'm fishing deeper than about 10ft and having trouble keeping it near the bottom.
It's 80 to 90 in AZ waters. They're still spawning here. We're seeing them go after baitfish.
👍👍
