The focus of Grind Season Outdoors is in the title. It’s all about the grind. We know that the outdoors can be so unpredictable and no matter how hard you work, sometimes you still don’t succeed. But as long as you work hard you never really lose. You win or you learn. Whatever the season… it’s always grind season!
Great vid, always enjoy your content! If you don't mind my asking, I'm curious what finesse types of baits you would recommend to throw on a spinning reel when you're in a group of smallmouth like you were here. For me, I always start with something like a topwater or swim jig, but I don't often grab my spinning reel to throw back in there with something more subtle that could take a few more. So yeah, just wondering on that what I could add to my arsenal.
@@greglovell2166 I was throwing a white fluke on a drop shot and just dragging it along the bottom. Usually between that and a Carolina rig, they will bite one of them!
@@greglovell2166 I’m only throwing a 3/16 because I’m fishing a few feet of water and not a ton of current. But I’ll go heavier when getting deeper or stronger current. You honestly don’t have to worry about going too heavy though. I just feel like you don’t have to move the bait as much when you throw the lightest weight you can get away with. You let the current make your bait work for you.
why was he so far left ? run middle no on coming boats but was a boat straight in front of him but not under power,he should have been yards to right especially with a boat in sight that he headed straight for, btu i am sure he would have made a wide pass by the stopped boat bot who knows never made it there!!! hit a 4x8 sheet plywood with allison ,didnt see it underwater,it went up midsection,wedged between swivel bracket & trim rams. I was looking at where i came from just as fast as the 60 i was running,with a soaking wall off water!! instant water brakes
@@robertbunnell5045 I was on the Mississippi River and the slough I was driving through had a dead log that came down the river, I was running the deepest part. We pulled my motor out a week later and it was in 12 feet of water
@@northernbassalliance1442 it’s definitely a fun tournament, especially these days. Basically taking FFS out of the equation without actually taking it away is pretty cool
A moment of silence to all the frogs lost. The huge sacrifice they were willing to take to get this man to second place. Gone but not forgotten. Your sacrifices will be remembered forever❤
One thing is I would never take my boat that close to the shore line going that dam fast ,you never know whats in the water my boat only does about 55 maybe 60 and that scares the hell out of me anyway in the middle of the lake ,
@@allenwebster6329 that’s about how fast I was going. I was on the Mississippi River though. It was a channel swing that I was following and I was in 12 feet of water. I hit a log that had floated down the river
@@grindseasonoutdoors a couple of months ago my son and I were at cape fair its more less part of table table rock lake in missour, you prolly heard of it anyway it had rained a couple of days there was crap all in the lake my son was driving he love fast I dont hes 17 now anyway I couldnt believe how much stuff was in the lake I kept telling him slow the hell down youre gonna hit something ,looked over and I guess another guy had hit a log I towed him back to the ramp ,the wierd thing is my boat never had a safety switch put on after that day I put on in so now I always wear it and make my son wear if hes driving, yeah things can happen im glad you didnt get hurt, did you get a new outboard also do you have insurance on your boat I was thinking about getting it I wonder if they would pay for an issue like that, anyway stay safe and god bless
@@allenwebster6329 yes, I did get a new motor and insurance covered it. I wouldn’t think about driving my boat without insurance for how much everything costs. And the life jacket and kill switch will definitely always be on me whenever I’m driving!
@@grindseasonoutdoors thats awesome, my boat isnt worth abunch im not sure if it would be worth it to have it covered ,its just 98 lowe, with 60hp force outboard on it just hook 2 fish finder and minn kota trolling motor nothing special about but I guess if you add up everything it maybe close to 4 or 5k ,Im still not sure if its worth it maybe ill check into it , will insurance cover outboard repairs I dont know anything about boat insurance or what it even cost these days
@@allenwebster6329 anything in an accident would be covered by insurance, like if you hit something with the motor for example. It’s basically the same as vehicle insurance. But for your boat, I would guess you’ll pay maybe a couple hundred bucks for the year with insurance.
Too damn fast for that river my man. Hope you learned that lesson, in addition to the life jackets and kill switch being reinforced. The Mississippi is a debris field and unpredictable, even if you think you know it. I know everyone wants to get there right now (wherever there always is) and open up their motors, but not only did you not make it, you almost bit the big one. Sometimes slower is better.
Which colors do you recommend headed up there this week for the 4th planned on walleye fishing but with the new regs looks like teaching the gf how to catch smallies. I know where to go just need to know what colors to throw
The smelt color is a good color for ned rigs and drop shot baits. Also a black hair jig will likely catch them pretty good under the right conditions right now.
@@grindseasonoutdoors Thanjs for the feedback. Awesome lake my gf caught more fish than I did over the 4th. Some really big eyes over at the banana flats North side of the lake on Saturday.
Yeah I’m not gonna push stuff on to people, I hate that too. Nothing ruins a video like someone saying they wouldn’t throw a bait on anything but this $700 diawa reel that nobody can afford. The most important thing is having a spinning rod/reel for a hair jig. Putting braid on the reel for long casts and then a short leader at the end. One of the only specific things that’s a little more important with the hair jig is making long casts. But once you hook them, just have the drag set and it doesn’t matter a whole lot.
lol Bridgeport!? Awesome! Had some friends out there that were instructors years ago! Did a package in 93 out there. Good times! When you said Bridgeport I couldn’t believe it.
