Some criticism/advice: video should've started at 3:00. I video just needs to be condensed a lot. You have some great stuff and then you have a lot of filler that can be removed without compromising the excellent fishing that was done here. Hope that's helpful!
@@chillyprotocol thanks for the feedback! I’ll have 7 hours of footage and my biggest challenge is how much to condense. It seems to be difficult for me to let go of some footage, as if I think it’s important for the story telling or giving the audience information. Hard to decide if I’m just informing or entertaining.
@@SteveOllice That's how you know you're a creator, when you struggle to let go of what you've made. I think I learn more on the side of entertain, but you can honestly do both if you're smart about it. On the next thing you make, with every scene or section try to ask yourself if it's really necessary or if it's taking time away from the other scenes that you really really want your viewer to see. Think about telling the viewer a story with each video and remove anything that doesn't help to tell that story.
Just got back from coast today and heading back tomorrow. Past 3 days went after bulls on corks. No luck. I think all the night time bait soakers are sore mouthing them so much they arent biting during the day...idk but its been tough.
The old drum bite has been tough. The menhaden just aren't up in the river with all the fresh water. The different salinities show up on your fishfinder and the bait stick to the lower water levels. People are catching them on popping corks, but you need to be in a boat to cover enough water to find them. And if you find them, another boat can come through and shut the bite down. Good luck out there!
I hadn't either! Took a while to figure out what was going on, what where those fish doing. Probably would never had happened if the water wasn't so smooth and hot.
I forget the actual day but it was during flounder season 2021, so that makes it some time during the first two weeks of September. I’ve been chasing this day ever since! I’ve learned that it’s all about finding a school. Not easy. There is a lot of water to cover.
@@SteveOllice i watched Greg Blanchard fish there , I love his videos I’ll always have a soft spot for bass . My philosophy if you’re good at bass everything else translates. Make some more videos man I really like your content it’s dope
@@DougieBFishingI discovered Greg when searching YT vids on Cayuga years ago. He mostly launches across the lake from us. Kristine Fischer fished a tournament in the same exact spot as I filmed here last year. Our cottage is in the background. MLF had a tournament and were all round the cottage until the word got out that giant smallmouth were at the south end of the lake. I’m going to film a smallmouth vid this spring.
Fishing was slow. My buddy was taking us to different spots with no luck. This was the first time we saw any action that day. It pays to just drive around looking for action sometimes.
There have been times when 80% of the fish I had caught that day were caught before. I even caught the same 19 inch smallmouth off the same rock 2 weeks apart.
I almost didn't post this video because we didn't catch anything, but Dan is such a resource and really gave great advise, I thought it would be a shame not to share. You were my target audience for this vid! Glad it helped!
Glad you got something from the vid! This year has been tough for popping corks. Most fish I've seen on social media were caught with bait this year. I think we have until the rest of the month before the bulls leave. I would tell you to get out there right now!
Congratulations! I haven't caught any bulls yet and it's not for a lack of trying. This was my 4th trip this year and the only action I've seen yet. If I can't catch bulls, I'll settle for a feeding frenzy!
I think you are asking about the gold rush color. I truly believe most colors will work. Menhaden are shiny, so I think you could do well with a dark shiny and a light shiny. If you watch some of my other bull vids, you will see I’ve caught them on many different color combos.
That is exactly where I am focusing on for the next month and a half! Do you have a kayak setup? Let me know when you will be up that way and maybe we can meet up.
@@troypope760 I was racking my brain cause your name sounded familiar! I love that place and if I lived close by, I would probably hang out like you were. Please go to my website www.steveollice.com and send me your contact info via the bottom of the about page page. I've got a great spot on the south side that we can meet up,
