Ok so I was having the worse day fishing, I mean 3 hours in the 107 degree Arizona heat and not one bite. I put down my rod searched KZread and came across your video. I was already setup Carolina rig with a shad but I switched up my technique and started dragging it on the bottom really super slow. What the hell man 2nd cast I caught a 3lb talapia! 😂😂😂 Thanks for your advise it definitely works! 👍🏾 I just subscribed to your channel.

I'm so glad he takes him out and is teaching him how to be a great fisherman. Fishing not only feeds you but your soul as well. It is the most relaxing and rewarding sport there is.

5:30 damn that kid was happy that he got nominated for finding the rock pile

Love it when I see guys taking their kids out, for me I enjoy watching my kids catch one at least as much as catching one myself.

Recently started bass fishing in South FL and had not been able to catch a damn thing. Started watching your videos on fishing from the bank and using the tex-posed Texas rig, went out this morning and caught 5 little guys and 2 decent sized fish. Cannot thank you enough for the videos! Keep 'em coming!

great video...and great advice. I always feel like the bite is tough so having this array of finesse and slow techniques is very useful. THANKS!

Hi Gene, I don't ever subscribe or comment on peoples KZread Video's but I think you are doing so much to the fishing community. There are so many fishermen that hide their techniques or baits and lures. You explain everything down to the line size. It is so awesome to see the passion you have for this sport and more so the enthusiasm you have to teach it to others. I am inspired to fish as much as I can because of your videos. I live in Illinois, Chicago area where the fishing is damn tough. But I still try your techniques. I am always listening to see what your using and how your using it. I would love to see a video on Frogs. I am always hearing how people catch monster bass on Frogs.

I needed to see this for sure. Man with temps being in the 100's all month fishing has got tough.

This might be the most straight to it, informative, and yet still entertaining fishing video I’ve ever seen. Excellent content man!

I was thinking the same thing.

I want to say thank you for the tips I have been skunked for three days then watched the how to work the grass u tube video and used that idea and nailed and landed three large mouth bass in a local pond your information about the subject is amazing thank you again

Awesome video Flukemaster, super helpful tips. Thinking I've been working my dropshots too fast after watching your vid. Also, agree 100% with the carolina rig being good for finicky fish. Sometimes thats all i can get em to hit.

Gene, thank you so much for the advice. I appreciate the time you spend explaining different concepts to guys like me that are new to bass fishing. Thanks to you, I am a true believer in the Carolina rig AND when the shad are bustin, I LOVE that lipless crank bait (rattle traps baby!). I never thought I would get bit on a lipless crank, but I took your advice and fished it all day until I got a bite. Now I won't go the lake without one. I am now also a true believer in the miracle of the Wacky Senko too. This is my first year targeting bass, and boy it can have its ups and downs for sure, so any tactics I can learn about those tough days are much appreciated. Right now I am in a cold weather slump, and can't figure it out. I will try the drop shot on some 6 lb and see if that does the trick. THANKS AGAIN!

Awesome vid. I live in Alabama so when you say tough bite I know exactly. I normally fish a jig on the bottom in about 10-25 feet of water. Carolina rig always works, though. Thanks Gene, you're the man.

nice catch Jordan! Let me know when you start your own KZread channel and give Dad some competition! Gene I noticed the same thing. I switched from straight 10 pound fluorocarbon to 6 pound fluorocarbon leader years ago and Bam fish on in the hot slow summertime days! Summertime I usually fish deep but this works really well for fish that are still up shallower in the staging areas.

great video Gene very informative thanks for sharing I will be trying these tips out tomorrow!!

Gene, I have enjoyed your videos since I discovered you on youtube. Keep up the good work promoting bass fishing.

Non related subject, thanks to you and your videos I started flipping a jig for the first time a few months ago , usually never had luck but I didn't have a clue how tbh, and today I did like you said a committed to the lure all morning 😏hooked 2 landed one 3lb+ but gotta say the heavy rod and line setup needed recommended is a game changer like first catch all over again it hits different 💯regardless THANK YOU FLUKEMASTER!!!!

Thank you so much, honestly helped me out. And I was able to catch the biggest fish I’ve ever caught!

fished a jon boat tournament on the hill yesterday. the bite was tough!!! think 6 boats ended up with 10 fish for the day. but the spinner bait and slow rolling a lipless crank got me and my partner the most fish only landing one bass (perch and something HUGE got off) near the most western part of the lake. but was fun and the first tournament i have ever fished so thank you for introducing my to bass fishing and teaching me something.

Brother, you make the fg knot look like childsplay...Man...it is tough for me. Stunning to see a pro do it. Great video, very relevent, even after 6 years. Thanks Gene.

I go out fishing with my best fishing buddy like this too, really enjoyed watching you fish with your son. He's going to be out fishing you soon.

Love the video. Glad you made this one. I'm in Florida near Tampa and I've been spending 3+ hours fishing and maybe catch 1 bass when I'm use to catching 5-6+... Also I love the way you ended this video. Show you yourself fishing with your son, teach and mentoring him. OUTSTANDING!!!! Keep up the good work Gene, love learning from you. Tight Lines

Just started fishing again after years and years, (mostly salt water...) Went to the lake and realized I needed advice. Your videos are very well done and helpful. I do have some questions about jargon. Things like "sinker" and "Carolina Rig", "shakers" seem kind of self explanatory, but it would probably be a helpful video for a basic fishing lingo video (you may have one...haven't searched yet...) I was also looking at one of the tournament sites and it listed ranking 15:41 or ?? (not that I'm ready for a tournament...) Thanks again for your helpful videos. All the best!

Thanks. With our 90 degree water and sizzling hot temps these are about all I use now, but they do work. Tight lines!

Only other thing I’d have to say is we need to get you a Florida Gators hat. I’d say use that Georgia hat as bait but I don’t think the fish would bite. 🤣

Good stuff here. I was just out of ideas on the lake today. Tried everything EXCEPT a Carolina rig. I'll go back out again in a couple days and try the Carolina rig and see how it works. Thanks for the advice! Subd.

I believe you are the first well known US bass fisherman to say "This is the FG knot, learn it." Aaron Martens talks about it but doesnt use it yet.. There is literally no other leader knot that comes close to the FG(beside the PR knot which is stupid tough to tie without a bobbin).. You WILL break your terminal knot before the FG, it doesnt matter if its an improved clinch, doubled uni or palomar... And it goes through guides like butter... Not only bass angler's but every angler should learn to tie an FG.

+TarHeelsFan23 xx I have a health issue, so I stay out of the heat. If I can get out during this time of the year, I'll go at night when I can fish relatively comfortably and most of the time there's no traffic on the water. If I get tired, I just anchor and kick back and relax. Makes my trip a lot more enjoyable. You can rest a while and then go back fishing. A little hour nap and your attitude is better, also.

Hooper_c4 yes, a boat changes your fishing abilities a bit, but it also becomes a pit to throw money into. There's always something you need to fix or replace and with gas prices you can spend a lot more than you realize. You can pick or choose just about any place you want to go, but I'd make sure you had someone going with you to help split expenses. You generally can count on at least doubling your fuel cost for a weekend, if not more.

Really love those concept reels!

When I use my spinning rod, I'ill fish weightless with a trick worm and that usually works for me. When using my baitcasters, I'll use a Carolina rig and trick worm. I've done pretty good so far with those this year. We'll see how the rest of the Summer goes though.

Nice vid I fish a drop.shot as much as I can but in some cases you can't like mossy grass areas so the Carolina info helped out ..thanks bud

Great video ty can't wait to try it

title of this video should have been: Tips for kingkong since he hasn't caught a bass in a few months. lol jk. guess what though, I finally caught a bass this past weekend. i was fishing early Saturday morning. when I got to the pond I noticed they were hitting too water so I threw a frog along the grass edges. missed 2 frog bites and I came back later with a weightless texas rig lizard. I casted out at that same spot I missed one of the frog bite and he choked on it. I set the hook and he was on. it was a dink but hey it's better than skunk. I appreciate all that you've done for us Gene.

The muddy bottom tip was a good one... Not that instinctually people who put the time in don't know it... But I needed to hear it so I can vocalize it to others and to my internal dialogue, especially working rocky bottoms in my waters with all the sediment.

im new to bass fishing but man summer time in socal is super hot. the water temp though is perfect for bass. the bite is hard but also the fry are everywhere bait fish everywhere. during hottest time of day i got out during daytime and saw bass shore lining fish midday... to me summer time is all action underwater. but then the fish will start to be active at top water soon. and fall should be good for bluegill and bass till winter. but all i caught all my largemouth on at castaic lagoon california is on small wacky rigged or dropper loop rigged. from shore though. i have got some on nightcrawlers going for crappie or sunfish though also. tight lines.

hey man love the videos, i definitely learned alot from ur channel!! i only been fishing for about 5 months cause i moved to texas from new york in october - not alot of streams and ponds in the city lol anyway, at first it was getting frustrating cause i wasnt catching anything, but i been listening to ur videos about fishing structures and this past month i been landing pretty impressive fish! i put them up on my facebook page if you want to see them (Nito Juanito Ruiz) in my fishing album. If ur ever back in texas, i'd love to meet up for a fishing day and pick ur brain!!

Good job Jordan, you dad has taught you well. Tom

Awesome video Gene. What size line would recommend for a carolina rig?

great video thanks for the tips

I am so glad I found this channel

I used to live in Florida, went fishing with my neighbor, we went out on his fishing boat with some of his family, they were experts at fishing, I guess, anyways I had caught some fish earlier and the day and the sun was starting to set, we then chose a spot by a dock, he taught me a trick to know if the fish was biting, put your finger over the string almost pressing against the fishing pole but not touching the pole, we put some shrimp on but after 10 minutes, of casting I got a little pull on the string and pulled back on the rod, that engaged a, what felt like a 15 minute fight with a fish I had to trade off the pole with the guy that brought me fishing, the strongest one there, and we handed it back and forth, this thing was a MONSTER redfish, like 3 feet in length, the reason I go fishing is for the fight, and to have conversations with whoever I’m with, but I moved to Kansas, I have NEVER for 4 years had a fish that gave a fight like that, a few times, with that first yank, they just flew out of the water, hopefully I can get a fight, because bass are big, I guess, thanks for the info, hopefully I’ll get a nice fight

At the end when your son was handling the fish that's like how I handle it except 10 times worse lol!

Nice catch Jordan
