Also titled, "How to use your padde as a lure retriever." Lmao, gotta love those rip rap banks. One thing that I enjoy about kayaks and canoes is paddling; it's a great arm and shoulders workout. Just a way to combine two of my favorite things, namely fishing and working out.

Nice video Gene! Could you do an episode about what different types of hooksets to use for different lures? And how you know you are using the right hooksets? Thanks!

Gene farted at 4min and 10 seconds but every body needs to fart like if you agree

I have used the Palomar knot with fluorocarbon with no problems. Caught a few fish last weekend with it. 10lb fluorocarbon with a 1/2 oz Rat-L-Trap tied on. I even caught a 6lb large-mouth with no problems.

I always ALWAYS suggest "Try Before You Buy" there are Demo days for Kayaks through the year and also most shops that rent the Kayaks will put the rental fee towards your purchase if you buy in a few days after the rental. But you should research a kayak and then go try it out before you drop that kinds of money on it. Great video Gene thanks for all the insight.

+Intrepid Fisherman I couldn't agree more. I made the mistake of just going and buying what I thought was a good kayak many years ago and after two trips I sold it because it hurt my back so bat to fish out of it.

Kayaks are stealthy that's for sure! I just got mine and took it to a local pond. A largemouth busting on some shiners literally jumped right into my yak! Scared the crap outa me😂

Fluke is #1, both as bait and on youtube!

I've been experimenting with the san diego jam for fluorocarbon. It cinches down neatly without coming tight on the mainline so you can slide the knot close to the eye loose then tighten it down pulling the tag.

just wanted to say you do a great job teaching fishing, I've learned alot from your videos, and I like how you're actually fishing not just vlogging the while time like some KZreadrs.

Great video Gene, as always!! love it!!

Nice Gene. Sorry to bother you how to you tune a Crankbait that is swimming in spiral when retrieve straight , If i cast to the left it's knocking along the side to the blank but when i cast straight and it swim spiral when retrieve . thanks

awesome video Gene! very informative fun to watch!

Do you prefer regular paddle kayaks or the foot pedal ones? Looking in to getting my first kayak

What kind of spinning rod and reel would you suggest

I had the same dilemma. It was tough conditions but when the fish wanted it, they WANTED it

@ Dwayne I agree with you 100%. If you have the local bait shops by all means buy there. I don't have any close to me. I buy almost all my tackle online. I have been ordering from small companies I find on Instagram. One is Misfit lures

Great video man🎣👍

I was wondering what size braid you would recommend? Im going to be throwing a variety of baits on it, and i was wondering what I should go with, 20lb or 30lb. This of course is on a bait caster

@Flukemaster

7 жыл бұрын

To be honest and this is something I just figured out the hard way. Go with 50. For some reason the 30 gives me more than average problems when casting. I've figured out that it has to do with the diameter and not the pound test.

The Cuda HD weight a lot less than the BIg Rig, i may look into that one, how much faster is it compare to the Big Rig?

@Flukemaster

+Aliex Folgueira there is always a give and take. The Cuda is faster due to it being narrower but you give up some stability and I think it's only a 8 pound difference.

I see that Louisiana isn't the only place where we haven't had rain in months. I pond fish and the pond is about 4 ft lower than normal but I went out today and I caught one that was almost 2lbs plus a big snapping turtle. I caught both of em on a rapala xr8 in Glass Ghost, even though it runs to 5' I didn't have confidence in it but for some reason in that pond it's always muddy but I catch just about every thing on white baits, I've tried black, blue and purples in it one day and never got a bite, switched to a white chatterbait and got bit in the 1st couple of casts but I used a black and blue chatterbait and nothing.

TheMassholeFisherman because fish, just like every living thing doesn't behave the same exact way or have the same exact preferences everyday nor do they always want to feed at different times of day. so rattles may spook them from biting if they're not feeding.

@TheBaitmanTV

7 жыл бұрын

Not Fluke, but I will give you a great Example. On Ky Lake, one of the most popular "crankbait" lakes in the country, once bass go deep onto the offshore habitats, everyone throws big cranks (including me). After a few weeks of high fishing pressure, bass will key in on the Silent Crankbaits, such as the Silent 6XD. Some guys will even modify their ultra deep divers 10XD and such so they are silent. It will definitely get you some bites when the bass are pressured. When you take rattles out baits will behave different and react different when they deflect off cover as well. Hope this helps!
