Slip Bobber Fishing - Mid June (Bass and Bluegill)
Спорт
This Slip Bobber focused video tells half of the story of the fishing adventure to Henry County, MO on 15 June 2024.
Part 2, to be published shortly, will show the effectiveness of a new (to me) lure called a Trout Slayer; essentially a micro finesse crawfish. Worked great!
This Part 1 uses a Thill slip bobber and inexpensive bobber stops, both from Amazon. With the help of a fish finder, the depth of the lure was easily adjusted for the depth of the water being fished. Generally speaking, an optimum depth was around 5" and the lure - a Bear Paws 3" Garden Worm in Funky color - was effective on steep banks and bluffs that dropped into 12-13 feet.
As the day progressed, more bass than bluegill seemed to strike but overall a goodly number of nice gills were caught and released as well. Only representative fish will appear in the video in the interest of time.
The Garden Worm was mounted on a Z-Man 1/30th oz micro finesse ShroomZ jig head.
A fish finder was used on my Cumberland float tube for this adventure. An inexpensive Humminbird 197c fish finder was mounted with a Fish Finder Mounts.com mounting system.

Rudie was consulted about Slip Bobbers and gave it a hearty Green Light.
Sparky was gently besmirked on several occasions but will survive. hahaha
Enjoy the show!

Thanks, Bill. Man I'm with you on the heat. 100 here today so I'm melting and inside with the a/c. You are a slop bobber king so this was nothing new to you, but watching it go under is always great fun, isn't it. Best wishes to you and your family. Have a great week, Don
Nice video, Don, looking forward to part 2. Stay cool, out there.

Thanks Dennis. I know a lot of folks often use slip bobbers. Recently, a friend and I were discussing the Float and Fly technique that was a cold water fad on big lakes some years ago. I decided to see how the fish in the "aquarium" would like it. Part 2 will be a bit of a surprise. I'd never used those tiny Trout Slayers before but they are definitely micro finesse! Have a wonderful week, Don
The lures are very effective. excellent video congratulations. greetings, a big hug, blessings.

John, your Garden Worms are the cat's meow no matter how they are fished. Funky color must look very realistic to the fish and you pour them beautifully. With this heat my hiking adventures will be curtailed, but so will heat exhaustion 😂😂. Have a wonderful week, Don
Oh wow Don, you know how much I loved seeing that bobber bounce!!! Hahaha. So exciting and of course the Garden worms are sooo fantastic to use. Was that the PBJ color? So fun snagging those beautiful bluegill then down it went catching my Fav nuisance bass! Some nice ones loved that bobber too. Reminds me of our pond fishing as kids…wonderful memories and a great video.❤️

Thanks, Sis. Yes, bobber and artificial worms like Bear Paws garden worms is reminiscent of the goid old cane pole days. The color of the BP worms was Funky...it is really good. The aquarium hahaha has such a great population of panfish and bass that the action was practically non stop and lots of fun. Those modern Thill slip bobbers are quite the improved version of the clip on ones we had as kids. I remember having no bobber and finding a piece of a stick and tying my line on it... invention was the mother of necessity.... and grasshoppers were great bait in the creek! Xxxooo RTR Don
