Today, we are doing some Spring Red-Ear (Shellcracker) fishing! These fish are congregating in large groups and are up in some super skinny water! Follow along as I take my secret jig out on the lake to find some big nests of them!

    Brings back good memories of back in the day I loved to go to certain areas on several different lakes. I could enjoy an evening fishing and catch a mess of Bluegill. When I wanted catfish, I knew a couple places where it was fun to catch. My shortcomings was with cleaning. Watching you making slabs I can see that there was better way to clean than the way that I did. Prayers sent for Jay's and your future addition to your family good health 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻Amen!!!

    Couldn't have gone any better. What a bunch of quality redears and hybrids. Gonna make some great fish tacos. Sorry you didn't get your 1lber though. Thar would have been a great way to end. I had a day very similar to this a couple months ago, before the rivers got flooded from all the rain and snow melt. 3 5 hours, I wound up catching 46. 7 of those were over a lb. The biggest one scaled at 1.8lbs. Took all 7 home for a fish fry. Really love your videos where things just go right, but I also love your videos where the fishing isn't so great, but you keep trying, because we have all had similar days. Thanks for keeping it fun and real. Great down to earth quality.

    @COLE_and_JAY I'm very familiar with fishing all across the state. Best spot for redear that I have seen is a large pond down in the Pine Bluff area. There's literally a place on this pond that you can see bream beds for about 40 yards. There's 10's of thousands of bream in this pond. It's fed by bayou Bartholomew and it's open to the public. The only issue is the vegetation you have to cross to get to the open area in a boat, or canoe. I have seen people get through in a kayak several times. Bank fishing there is hard because of the vegetation. It's very limited on bank fishing, so the fish just migrate to the area of the pond that people aren't fishing. We always go out and catch a ton of them. Catfishing, my favorite place is on the Arkansas River, between little rock and Redfield. My favorite bass fishing spots are out at dam site 5 and shepherds island. I have caught a ton of crappie at trulock over the years also. I just grew up traveling all over the state and have always had a fishing pole with me.
