When I turned 60 my wife and I found ourselves in Alaska on the dream fishing trip of a life time, and we had no idea 1) how good we had it and 2) how much we love fishing. Since then we've booked fishing guides and they tell us what to do. Now that I just turned 70 I have decided to learn to fish, and in the last week I found out the difference between spin cast and bait cast reels. I also opened a tackle box that had not been opened for 50 years. I'll be overhauling the reels I found soon. I appreciate the rundown of mistakes I need to watch out for. Although having a game plan is something I'm good at.

@ataraxical6694 3 года назад

Never too late to start! I'd definitely recommend picking up a spin cast over a baitcast for the beginning. I've only been fishing for a few years now and recently picked a bait caster up. It is super smooth but there is a huge learning curve to it. Tight lines!

@Oscubasteve 3 года назад

When i was a kid 5. My dad was stationed in Anchorage. We fished a lot there. Cooler full of salmon. We'd even catch them w a net as they swam up stream. That was the norm for me...Then didnt fish again till I was like 15. Blue gill, perch, small catfish etc...i was like what is this wheres the salmon? So yea def Alaska spoiled me too fishing.

@4547dobby 4 года назад

I started bass fishing at 8 from atop a bridge. The biggest challenge was figuring out to cast into the sun instead of away from it...it all clicked one day on top the bridge fishing straight under it...I literally had my plastic worm stationary with maybe 10 fish surrounding it debating to pick it up...what I didn't realize is they seen my shadow.

A big mistake I used to struggle with was not using a wacky rig. Those things do work and I knew it, but like he mentioned, I couldn't swallow my pride and tie one on because I thought what I was throwing would perform better. The wacky rig is a powerhouse and there's absolutely no shame in using one.

@texasbassranger Год назад

I fish a lot of small ponds and creek tributaries of the colorado river and that whacky rig is the first lure I thow. At first I thought it was a gimmick, but holy cow...my second PB of all time came on that presentaion. Hey, if the pros thow it, well, there ya go. Besides, it gives you a real feel to what is on the bottom of the area you are fishing. I swear if I lose another chatterbait....well, you know.

@jasonsibbring9630 5 лет назад

I'm new to fishing. Last weekend I was using my spinnerbait, made a cast and watched my bait launch 100 feet out into the lake. At first I thought I made the cast of the century, but I learned that my knot had come undone. SO, I'm submitting proper knot tying for beginners 🎗

@AndrewFishman 5 лет назад

The cast of the century in distance maybe. We just learned, accuracy over distance, so the true casts of the century are those you land exactly where you want them, not the ones that travel 100 feet. Remember, the vast majority of fish will be caught within a couple of rod lengths of the shore.

I’m a brand new fisher and I think I’m perhaps the worst beginning fisher that ever was, but I’ve gotten some missed strikes, some hits, some almost-catches, and a total of two catches, all within maybe 30 or 40 hours on the water. Those moments where you even come close give such a thrill that it keeps me coming back to the water, and it keeps me coming back to RU-vid videos. That’s all to say that I appreciate these types of videos very much. One of those catches was right after I watched a video about how to work a plastic worm. First cast, caught a fish. A little blue gill but a huge encouragement.

My biggest mistake was spending a ton of money on gear before really understanding how to use it. I bought 3 baitcasting reels before I even knew how to cast them, I bought a ton of lures that I had never used, and I bought a boat, thinking to myself, "the pros have all of these and they catch big fish, so why would I be any different?" Start slow, gain confidence in one thing before moving the the next. Walk before you run.

My biggest mistake was (and sometimes still is) not setting the hook right. I’ll feel it hit and instinct says “just reel” so I reel and pull it right out of the fishes mouth. Feel for the bite! Know what the shape of your bait is and where the hook point(s) is and then set that sucker! I’d rather fight the plier monster to get a hook out than not catch the fish.

@Chubba97 2 года назад

@Larry77777 4 года назад

Hey Debo: For new/any anglers struggling with line coils off their spinning combos, respool your spinning reels with BRAID. You can always add mono or fluoro as a leader. Any lb or any length as needed.

@DEBOSFishing 4 года назад

I always use braid to a leader on my spinning combos. I know you can run the spool under hot water, use line conditioner, stretch it, etc. I agree, braid is the way to go!

@TheCoolwhipped 5 лет назад

2 things that have helped me a TON. 1) Fish every cast. Even if it isn't "the" cast you wanted, dont just crank it in as fast as you can. Fish it the way you would on your best cast, you never know what might end up taking it. 2) Change your retrieve and location before changing lures. Give it at least 15 minutes of various retrieves and casting locations before you change lures.

@DEBOSFishing 5 лет назад

VERY good points! Both of those will definitely help to increase your chances of getting hooked up! Thanks for taking time to share man!

Great video Debo. My biggest mistake was thinking that my saltwater gear would work for freshwater fishing. So I'm out there using 65lb braid with a 40lb mono leader trying to catch 2 to 4 pound fish. Now I have become a tackle junky because I have as much, if not more, freshwater tackle/gear as I do salt water. Two years ago, I moved up to Oregon from SoCal. There is very little freshwater fishing in SoCal. Ocean fishing is king down there. When I moved up to Oregon, I didn't know much about freshwater fishing. Thanks to you, Debo's Fishing, BassGeek, Tactical Bassin, etc, I am much more well versed in freshwater fishing now. Speaking of you here in Oregon, I am trying to spread the word out here about you and your RU-vid videos. I don't do social media (Facebook, Instagram, etc) so my only way to contact you is through the video comment section. Do you have any plans for Debo fishing t-shirts?? Black shirts, white lettering.

One thing I struggle with when bass fishing is trying to learn to fish all the different styles and lures too quickly. Instead of becoming proficient with a lure or style, I keep trying something new on every trip. I just realized this was a thing for me when I bought all these different plastics and I have only tried them a couple of times. I also just ordered a couple of different ned rig colors.

I keep telling my husband that fishing lures catch people not fish lol I get totally caught up looking for colors, flash, or sound and often they never live up to my expectations.

@MrMiscVids 5 лет назад

You know that reminds me of when my wife fishes with me ... with one exception. She sees a swimbait (a.k.a. "lil fishy") crankbait, or sachalais jig grub/tube/etc. and she'll say, "oh I got this because it's pretty"... and I'll usually agree and chuckle to myself, then watch her catch a nice fish on it later. Lol

@DEBOSFishing 4 года назад

Yeah, that's easy to do. It's fun to try new stuff but have to balance it with simplicity. Thanks for watching!

@shawnbeck2303 4 года назад

3/4 oz rattle trap black or blue on top and chrome in the middle. It's my fish finder. Then a 6 inch watermelon salamander Texas rig. Big white spinner bait. Willow blade and a Colorado or Indiana blade too. Put a white trailer on it. Frog fish. These lures caught me. Then I caught alot Bass with them. Your right! Way to many rubber worms lures. Shawn

(I had never used one & still haven't successfully used one😅😑). Nothin' but birdsnests...😔. So, I finally broke & bought a new big girl bait caster (what I'm familiar...ish...with), and stopped stealing my kiddos' pole. Lol😉 That being said, Im sure if I had more time to put forth, I would most likely have come much farther than I have by now. *You have certainly taught me so much! Your tone of voice is pleasant. You're honest & very real about your experiences etc. You're extremely knowledgeable, which is very informative for me! I really just enjoy watching/listening to your videos. So, Good for you!

@81MichelleLee 4 года назад

I just started learning how to fish, my biggest mistake is learning to tie knots. I should practice at home before going out and taking 30 mins to tie something different on. But I’ve also learned that it doesn’t matter how much your rod cost, I’ve been using a $20 rod and I’ve been catching trout and drum. It’s been fun 😀

@DEBOSFishing 4 года назад

Yeah, the knots take a bit. Keep after them and keep catching!

Thank you Father God for fishing!!!

@CallahanHarry44 5 лет назад

The biggest mistake I and others make is believing there are fish everywhere in the water and you just need to entice them to bite. Fact -- you need to find them 1st and understand only a small percentage of the water hold fish. Thanks for the vid Debo!

@robertbain2435 4 года назад

One thing that has helped me is having combos set up for different “strike zones” before I head to one of the ponds I fish. I’ll have a topwater setup (suspending jerkbait or a squarebill), something to fish cover (Texas Rig) and something for fish bottom (jig or chatterbait) that way I’m not going to have to re-tie (something we all hate) if I need to change things up. I have a backpack with a sampling of lures, in case I need to change colors, or I get hung up, but my three strike zones are covered (top, cover and bottom). Learned a lot from watching this channel, so I’m also really good at catching dinks!! (Sorry Debo) JK

@DEBOSFishing 4 года назад

@buzzworth2396 4 года назад

Absolutely great advice!!! Only thing I can think of that you didn't mention was dressing in blending colors. I wont wear bright colors. If I have brush or trees behind me, I wear camo shirt or hoodie. If no brush I'll go with a sky color or a gray color. Definitely stay kind of closer to the ground so not to cast a shadow or reflection. Always stick to basics. Don't complicate things. By all means...... listen to Debo!!! Great job on this one. I show it to anyone who asks me to teach them to fish

Not checking the weather and getting dumped on after you hike a half a mile to your spot... Also dragging too much gear around. I throw a few select baits into a little pocket size container when I'm circling a pond or lake. Lastly, ALWAYS bring your scale!

top 2 mistakes i made, 1.Fishing too fast, don't be afraid to let your lure just sit there. And 2. fishing too big, If you are not getting bites switch to the smallest lure you can. I have caught some mighty big fish on extremely small crappie lures.
