it's a golden shiner. they get big if you fish in the delta! hogback island has some pretty big ones and in the spring/early summer there are some pretty big bluegills there too!
@@FrancisHawkins-ov9vp yeah it is about the fish because if I were to catch that fish I’m a disappointment to my family In my family if you don’t get a 10 inch fish or more you suck at fishing
@@datchi3099 I have the simple lazy easy set up lol but it works. You can see at 2:39 I'm using 1 oz of bullet weight disc sinker and circle hook #2. Use the bait to form a ball to pack around the bullet weight then using couple seeds of real sweet corn or fake corn put on the hook. That's it. Good luck!
If you wanna go Carp fishing, Morrison Creek off Hedge between Fruitridge and Elder Creek is the spot, have caught 2 in the last 2 weeks on Med/Light tackle
Those are all bluegill which are not invasive in any body of water and are a great food source for bass and other predatory fish and help the pond ecosystem. They can thrive and grow when Asians don’t take every small one they catch
This is our second time fishing here. And we just lucky this time 😊 We were getting skunked for the first time though! Thank you for watching and commenting 🙏
Cut your bait small enough that a striper will eat the bait in one go. Don't make it too big that they play around with it because they might move on when they feel the hook. a 1.5" cube cut will work. I do this with sardines and most of the time the hookup with a big fish is one big bite only. The smaller nibbles means it is small fish
I found this to be so much better, used to hook on half a smaller sardine but started cutting them into 3 sometimes 4 pieces and been hooking onto fish better
@@Mokotarish You have to realize that the early spring bite is when 25-30" stripers are hitting pile worms that are 3-4 inches long and they hit it all in one go. So presenting them a bite size snack bait is better since you get 1 solid hookup versus having the fish hit the bait multiple times only to give up once they feel the hook. During early spring I was using smaller 1" sardine cuts trying to give the striper same bite as they were if they wanted pile worms since most stripers during the early spring bite will hit your bait only once and move on. The key is giving the bait the extra scent since they can't really see with the muddy spring water.
