Fishing Using only techniques that do not require a reel hence the name not reel fishing. I plan on uploading every tuesday and thursday except during winter months uploads will be once a week depending on how the fishing goes.
yeah things are going pretty good just been super busy and things are just now getting back to usual after the wedding so im hoping to finally get back to actually content more often lol
Glad to see you making videos . I know you were going thru a rough patch but am excited to be catching up . I really am grateful for all i learn while watching your videos.
Let me offer you a few tips from experience. Have your rod ready to fish before you get to the water. When you get there, get down as low as you can and move down to the water`s edge and do not make any sudden moves, move smoothly. If you are not going to eat the fish you catch, ONLY use barbless hooks or crush the barbs on the flies you are using. It makes getting the hook out very easy and does not hurt the fish. I tie all of my flies with either barbless or crushed barb hooks. It makes a world of difference, but you must keep tension on the line at all times or the fish will come off. I live up in Winston Salem, NC and it is good to see local guys fishing, camping, hunting, and trapping on RU-vid. Good luck, be safe, watch out for Cottonmouths, and I look forward to more of your videos.
@stillwater62 yeah thanks for the tips and yeah I do like to fish barbless and I do most of the time but I swear almost every time I film I use older flies which I havnt crushed the barbs yet or I completely forgot to crush them and I also like barbless because it's easier to unhook from yourself as well lol
Great video man . That was a beautiful blue sunfish. Fushing has been kinda slow here with heat . Been hitting salt with a little better results. Take care and keep videos comming . I finally have time to get caught up on them.
I have all my lines on spools from 9 ft up to 16 ft with tippet and fly. I have big and small flys already tied on and depending on wind and rid i use i.pick appropriate line.
Nice fishing trip. When you caught a flyer I figured you were on the east coast somewhere...NC or SC. I am 76 years old and have been an avid fisherman since I was 9 or so. We moved to a location that had a local small pond and my brother and I practically live there. I got my first fly rod for my 12th birthday. We were poor as dirt so when I opened that gift, I was stunned to tears. Through the years I moved on to baitcasting and some tournament fishing but lost interest in it and went back to the fly rod chasing bass, bream and crappie. My wife and I would take annual trips out west to Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico, fly fishing mountain streams for trout. Having a nice little 24 ft off road travel trailer, we would stay on the road for 5 weeks or so. Since then, I have gone back once again to chasing bream and crappie mostly. Needing another challenge, I have now gotten a tenkara rod. I haven't fished it yet, just waiting on the right weather. I subbed. I made this video years ago. The quality is crap as was the editing. This channel was set up to show family some of these videos but I never posted anymore. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yupy9RLaOPs.html
If you are going to use that particular fly, then you should use a very small ball bearing swivel between your leader and tippet. That line twist is so aggravating, and the swivel will put a stop to it pronto. I was raised down around Southern Pines, Pinehurst, and Aberdeen. I love the black water, fishing for Jack, Bass, Shellcrackers, and Bluegill. There is something very special about that area, the Sandhills.
I filled up my yoyo with maçon then i spooled 30lb braid over it and it cast pretty f in far. If the yoyo is empty like that it is harder for the line to get out. So fill her up
I could be wrong, but does the split side of that "T" snap around the rod, and the line spool snap onto the nub side? It looks like it would keep the spool on the rod.
@davidklug6980 that's exactly what it does. When I got home I picked up tje t part and the line spool at the same time and then went oooooh yeah I'm just and idiot lol but yeah and it snaps on really snug too
Congrats man ! Got to go fishin and proposed . Thats kinda redneck , and I love it . Congratulations again , and I wish ya'll many happy years together 👍👍
its the tenkara usa Rhodo it has three lengths. i think 8.9 ft the 9.2 ft and i think fully extended its 10ft 6 id have to actually measure but im pretty confident on the 10ft 6
Appreciate you expressing your beliefs , not many people are willing to do that nowadays . I'm not terribly religious , but I know somebody's lookin out for me . I've had a few near death experiences where it felt like somebody pushed me ahead , or held me back just enough for a near miss ! They say God watches over fools and children . I'm 66 , its been a long time since I was a child ,😢 so I know where I fit into that . I enjoy your channel and will continue to watch 👍👍
Hey were all fools lol and anyone who claims not to be most definitely is but yeah God definlty keeps and eye out for all of us because he love all of us just sometimes it's hard to accept that he could but that's part of the process and to be honest I'm not religious either I don't believe in religion I belive in Jesus christ and the sacrifice he made for me and all mankind religion in my eyes is how people worship and show their love and people have different ways of expressing it and unfortunately not all them do it correctly but we are all sinners so makes sense lol but anyways glad you enjoyed the content and don't hesitate to reach out if ya need me
Solid on sharing your story bud, that's not easy. But let me ask you a question, have you thought maybe not so much anxiety but your regenerated man (In Christ) and the Holy Spirit, when you live in the flesh? Food for thought. Glad to hear you are doing better and on the right path. I'll keep watching and look forward to the future of the channel.
Not sure what your question is so if you could flush it out a bit I might be able to answer. Yeah It feels good to get my story out it's not complete as it's very complex and long but I just try to get the gist across and I'm glad you enjoyed the ramble and I definlty have some plans for the channel and I definlty want to be able to make more saltwater content this year since I'm much closer to the beach now as well but anyways take it easy
@@notreelfishing Your anxiety is really just the battle between the new man in Christ and the old man (the flesh); and when you weren't "living right" it physically plays itself out with anxiety and panic attacks. Understanding where it's coming from and what the actual battle is, is how you get on top of it. Don't get me wrong, anxiety and it's symptoms are real... demons.. Recognize them as such and go from there.
@FrogDad556 gotcha definitely makes more sense and I totally agree when it come to the anxiety but the panic attacks are a Lil different because they aren't brought on by thought it's my body literally engaging flight or response for no reason withered it be chemical or demonic it still happens but it's much easier to deal and try to get through those symptoms when you know God oa watching out for you and I've been a chriatian for a very long time bit I'm just now coming back into my faith as I backslid quite awhile ago and I'm refocusing my life with Christ back in the center.
@FrogDad556 also another thing that worries me at time is that maybe this anxiety and panic attacks are God's way of trying to bring some health issue that I'm unaware of to my attention and there no real way I can verify that or not seeing as how I can't really afford a bunch of medical tests so I have to take it on faith that it's just anxiety and panic attacks and not something more nefarious at play and that also feeds into the cycle of anxiety
@@notreelfishing Ohh nice choice of words here... Maybe watch the movie Nefarious and think on these things... Particularly pay attention to what it says about what happens once someone is baptized.. Bullseye on for the demons... That's how they see it.
Weather has been warner here so fishing has gotten better but is still hit or miss. Really are enjoying your vudeos.What about some gear/tutorials till fishing picks up .your style of fishing is pretty unique and there aren't many warmwater tenkara / fixed line sites. keep u the great work.
Yeah I've got some plans once it gets warmer and I'm hoping to do alot more saltwater content this year as well and yeah the lack of fixed line or type of fishing that I do is part of the reason I wanted to start the channel but yeah I definlty have some ideas up my sleeve still
Maybe you can make the guides on the rod open up and close like a carabiner, then you can cast as many lines as you want, with just one rod. Could be handy for surf fishing
Yeah I've thought about that but I gotta figure out how to do it because in my head I just picture like a long binder spine or something because I'd like to find a way to combine the rang of casting with a rod but also pair it with a handline to get the advantages of both but this vids quite a bit older now and I still havnt figured out a way to do it yet lol
@@notreelfishingI guess one way to do it with just a normal rod is to have your main line a bit shorter and connect it to backing with a loop-to-loop knot or a snap, making your mainline detachable. The downside is obvious: shorter mainline and a bit more line management. I want to try that, but I haven't had the time yet.
It's been so cold around here. I can't wait to get back out fishing. I keep a small micro kit in my car, just in case I have a little time next to some water.
yeah im super pumped for spring to come around. i also keep a kit in my car but its not small pretty much all my gear stays in my car because you never know when you might cruise by a juicy spot
Much love brother. Panic is terrible and I know how it is. I’ve been trying to blend my awareness with the surroundings, especially when I’m fishing. Like the trees and shrubs and rocks don’t care. They are as they’ve always been. And I try to tap into that. Hope you keep fishing!!
Yeah i dont plan on stopping fishing anytime soon just the past few months between lack of time and not so good trips have been rough on making content
New subscriber from Huntersville, NC here, are you in the Charlotte area? I do a lot of ultralight panfishing mostly fishing in neighborhood ponds, I have 2 ponds in my development that have some nice size bluegills and shell crackers, also a bunch of dink bass (a few big bass in these ponds as well, you'll catch 100 dinks before catching 1 big one) but all fun to catch on the ultralight set-up. Those small top water poppers would work great in my home ponds, especially when the bluegill are spawning, I might have to get some and give them a try.
this is how I feel about everything I do as well. makes it difficult to enjoy anything. You nailed the feeling exactly "why am I feeling this way? how do I make it go away?" I didn't know I should be leaning in to it. Even going fishing like you suggest gives me a lot of anxiety. I forget for a few seconds when I get a strike though.
Yeah it's such a simple yet complex feeling and situation but apparently pushing through the feeling as opposed to not doing something that causes it can make it worse/more difficult to deal with so it's kind of a catch 22 but I'm still figuring it out and once I can start making more videos I'll document how it's going to hopefully help other people even if I'm just documenting my failures.
Yeah I've got alot of fond memories of him and unfortunate that he passed away when I was young but I'm grateful I got the time that I had but anyways take it easy
Hang in there Bro. Things will get better. May want to check out natural supplements like Magnesium Glycinate and Ashwaganda...and of course time on the water!
Yeah time on the water is definitely a good way to distract the mind and I do take some supplements I take the laird Hamilton superfood creamer with the functional mushrooms in it and I think one of them is ashwaganda but I'm not 100% sure. I agree tho I think time is going to be the biggest factor in dealing with this. But thanks for the support and advice
Hey man. I’m the same EXACT way. In the last 2 years my anxiety has gotten terrible. Leaving the house or even going to work. You just feel like you’re stuck and can’t get anything accomplished I don’t know the key to it. But all I can say is you’re not alone in this mental battle. I don’t take medicine either. I refuse to. I’ve turned to god in these moments. And begin to pray when these thoughts and feelings come on. And it’s helped a lot. I’m 22 so I don’t think age has anything to do with it. Just keep it up man and keep battling
It’s ruined my relationships. My girlfriend of 8 years recently left me because of how bad it’s gotten recently. I’ve noticed keeping the mind busy helps. You’re the first person that I have EVER talk about the exact stuff going on. And being real and raw about it.
Yeah it's crazy how just one mental hiccup can have such profound effects in life but like all things including hiccups they pass and yeah they might come back again but after awhile you kinda know what to expect and how to deal with is unfortunately I think it's one of those things that take time to get straightened out and I agree with you keeping the mind busy is a huge part of it. One of the many reasons why I love gaming it just allows me to blank out everything but unfortunately it also makes me not do anything else but when I'm fishing and actually catching fish it's kind of the same thing. Also sorry to hear about your ex my ex broke up with me almost 2 years ago now and we were together 11 years so I can relate to the feeling. But I was blessed to find my current girlfriend as she's very understanding and supportive of me and my issues I think finding a support system is also a big plus if it's available and yeah if you ever need to to talk feel free to message me of here or Instagram.
You learn to live with it. I felt the same way when I was younger. You’ll learn the signs and symptoms and you’ll find ways to manage and mitigate them. It’s not always gonna be like this. If you can, go to a therapist. I wish I had, it would have saved me a lot of bad times.
Yeah Im hoping its just something i learn to manage my dr had recommended some med to take during really bad episodes but i refused because i would rather struggle though and figure out a resolution than band aid the issue and not dealing with it. going to a therapist probly would do me some good seeing as how its beneficial for just about everbody but i dont have funds for that but i appreciate the advice.
I have in fresh water and it worked fairly good but i think the lures and jigs would be much better when being fishing off a bot or kayak especiallyfor vertical jigging but i have yet to try it but its on my list for this coming summer
Yeah things are pretty good besides everybody including me dealing with some kind of cold of sorts but things are going good. Hope things are good your way as well.
The rod is the 24ft breeze version of the brand goture it's not very expensive and I haven't really used it much for actually fly fishing yet unfortunately
Great video as usual . Glad your mom is getting better. been working on my artificials with cane pole . thanks for all the great content. Really enjoyed video
I'm getting better but no fish with the weird weather and the fact that water is 3 feet lower in pond I fish. Plenty of large cats tho so I'm going to switch to yo yo .
Yeah the weather has really been thowing me for a loop as well but just keep on practicing and eventually itll happen im hoping to film a video afterwork today seeing as i had no luck over the weekend and yeah i still wanna get my yoyo out and do more saltwater fishing from the kayak but its looking like a next year thing. @@stephenzachary5745
I say that because I lived near a lake that was full of rock bass and their eyes were always red I can't remember seeing a warmouth or a green sunfish with red eyes but that doesn't mean anything it's an old video and so I come in it anyway I enjoy your content when I get the chance to watch . I used to live in an area where there was a lot of creeks and I did a lot of roadside Creek fishing and watching your little show remind me of when I was younger.
Im glad you enjoyed the video and think your right about the red eyes because i caught a mudsunfish or warmouth and i was like this looks exactly like a rockbass without the red eyes and then found out that the red eyes are a key identifier so your not wrong and if you are we both are lol and im glad my channel helps bring back the nostalgia of youth @@aaronrhoades509
