Fishing With Big Spoons From the Beach 

I suggest always to describe your gear: rod size, reel, main line, your leader etc.

I've had other BPM baits ru-vid.comUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 before and they've pretty much always came through for me with the suskie smallies here and even with the walleye and pike, but I realized I didn't have an "in-between" pattern so this junebug one fills that role in no problem. it pairs up magnificently with a junebug Zoom Z-craw Jr that was trimmed a couple millimeters before the hook slots and rigged sideways for that fatter panfish side profile while still being a nice'n'compact presentation, a real power-finesse bait. Hell, it was so pretty I even bothered to fotosketch the pic into a watercolor painting image just to show you it's beauty! Even the blades are really well made, sure, they're not of Hildebrandt-level exquisiteness but look at the bead's reflection on the colorado blade, definitely well-made! The only "problem" spot it had was a bald spot in the skirt but it was nothing that I couldn't easily fix with a but of tuggin'n'shiftin' with the strands for a couple of seconds, besides that it is pretty minty!

doesn't matter if you catch a lot of fish or not, you walk through what you are using and even best ways to use it a lot of times and that helps a lot of people out. Showing that you don't always land a huge fish every time you go out seems good so other new anglers don't get discouraged. Keep up the good work and as always the editing is on point.

Since it's "fishing" not "catching"...post whatever happens each day! That's real...Love your videos! Keep 'em coming!

I would enjoy the videos from all the days of fishing because all fish are cool and lawson commentary and tips is good stuff

As long as your fishing, even if you don't catch I'll watch. When you aren't catching you spend a lot of time teaching us anglers tips and tricks you've learned over your fishing life. I enjoy that, keep them up!

I like the footage no matter what, we all get skunked or catch only small fish sometimes, it's good to see what someone else is thinking when they're in the same perdicament.

I like videos where sometimes you don’t do so well. It’s called fishing not catching and you’re a cool guy to watch either way. You’re always insightful etc.

i love all the videos. it's about the experience. the setting. the drama. the technique. substance over style.

Hey Lawson keep up the good work.dont worry to much about catching big fish all the time. I enjoy all of you're videos. And right now I am on chemo fighting testicular cancer and cant fish for another two months. So keep the videos coming when you can. I enjoy watching all of them.

Every video Man, show em all ! We all have crummy days on the water, but just as important is learning gear selection and technique whether you catch fish or not !!

Post 'em all!! Even if you're not catching donkeys all day, it's still a good watch. Especially, for those of us who are suffering through the brutal northern winter. Part of why I tune is is for the therapeutic scenery and sunshine. Can't get enough of the crystal clear water, palm trees and outrageous homes/boats. (And I live two blocks from the beach in Jersey) Don't get me wrong, I'm here for the fishing , but enjoy these elements as well.

Definitely post whatever you’ve got! Whether or not you catch something isn’t a big deal. Nice to see vids of the nice weather and fishing while being stuck up north in the frozen tundra!

Its good to show your still human and have crappy days.instead a mr. capt commercial who never loses a fish.

Fishing is fishing man, tips and techniques are why people watch, beautiful scenery and fish are just a bonus.

I’m sure most people know how to fish and just genuinely enjoy fishing which is why they watch your channel. The more videos you post I believe the more they’ll watch.

Keep pushing out content no matter how big the fish are. We all know fishing can have its ups and downs but it’s the adventure that’s exciting. Many people aren’t able to get out and go fishing every day, so living vicariously through your adventures are what I believe fuels your channel!

Upload it all, Lawson. It’s all about the story. It’s all about the experience. You can’t take for granted your location and ability to fish the waters you have available to you. A lot of your viewers (like myself) are land locked and love the quick escape to the salt water we get when watching your videos. It’s great to learn what I can from you to prepare for the VERY seldom opportunities I get to saltwater fish. There is also always something to learn from you, even on your off days! Keep up the good work, brother!

KEEP THEM COMING THEY ARE ALL VERY ENTERTAINING!

The new twist on fishing is good. Tiny fish periodically is fine, money in the bank. Your adventures are always enjoyable to watch.

I'm from Cleveland and suffering through a really crappy winter. Your videos keep me looking forward to warmer temps and trips to Florida for snook, reds, and trout. Love that you always keep it real, Lawson. Post away.

Honestly, i can go to any channel and see people catch big fish. I watch you because i enjoy you and your commentary. Id obviously love to see you catch a big fish but to me its just cool watching you fish.

I enjoy watching the hardcore fail trips as much as the big snook. Thats the outdoors mother nature wins as much as you do.

As you said the reality of fishing is you are not always going to catch fish. Its enjoyable to watch you fish and talk fishing regardless! When you don't get as many fish you could also take the time to talk through your methods and tactics. Keep up the awesome work, its been really great to watch this channel grow!

Definitely add videos even if you don’t catch big fish. It’s still a learning experience and sometimes those are the days you learn the most.

Lawson, honestly it's awesome to show the trips when you don't catch a monster. Show rising anglers the reality of fishing and teach how weather, tides, water temp, etc. affects fishing.

I think it is important to show videos like this one where you don't catch as many fish and show your thought process because that is the reality of fishing. It's not every day where you'll catch a bunch of fish. Love the videos Lawson. Keep up the good work.

Doesn't matter to me if what you catch is small or a monster. Being an avid fisherman, and mostly from shore, you get what the water gives you. I'm ecstatic to catch a dozen or so little squirts and one or two mediums. It just reinforces that you're doing something right. Show those vids!!! Got no problem with that: a fish caught is a fish caught, size doesn't matter. Anyways, wish you better luck in the future. The big ones are always there on the edges of the school of smaller fish, it's just a matter of figuring out what they want. Once you get that sussed out, you'll get more medium to large fish and less small fry. And it changes from day to day, and sometimes hour to hour. Just keep at it, don't ever give up Me personally, I'd like to see the failures as much as the successes. That helps teach the rest of us what does and doesn't work in certain situations. Love your vids, keep up the great content!!

The bad days make the good days good

I know this is an old post, but it is one of the few videos that touches on the size of the spoon. A lot of people throw the 3oz spoons found on eBay. A FAR superior option is the spoons from Nichols Lures. I personally order the 5.5" in saltwater version and then add flashabou to the hook. One advantage is the lure stays high in the water column relative to it's size. You get less hang-ups around structure.

For me personally I'd like to see you upload videos regardless if you catch a lot of monster size fish or if you barely catch anything. People can learn from both. I mean I've never been saltwater fishing in my life and it's something I want to get into so watching yours and other peoples videos helps me learn whether you catch a lot of fish or just a couple small ones.

I loved the 30 day challenge videos! They were more of a raw fishing vlog, rather than some monster fish highlight reel... I'd say a lot of us initially came to the channel looking for big fish videos, but your personality/attitude is what keeps us coming back. Looking forward to more paddle board sessions!

Whether you catch a big fish, little fish or no fish i still look forward to watching your vids. Its not only the fish but a learning experience and entertainment.

Upload all days because I find it more realistic and I learn from good and bad days. Sometimes more is learnt from a bad day than a good day. More spoons!

We are here to see fishing videos of all kinds. From the scenery to the species...show us what Lawson is all about and we’ll be satisfied either way ! 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

There's always a lesson in your vids, thumbs up here. Good tip on the waders, looking like a dweeb beats getting stung any day. After fifty plus years of surfing South Florida and hundreds of man-o-war stings, you get used to it but it still sucks especially when you get wrapped good and it travels to your groin and/or armpit nodes. That two or three hour ache is worse than the sting. We ran a call on a family with four kids while working fire rescue on South Beach in Miami, kids from five up to fourteen years old and they were fighting over one of the little blue bastards in the shore break thinking it was a balloon. The bigger kids naturally got more of it than the smaller ones, they thought they were dying.

I vote for more of those diving videos i really enjoyed em. I know its not a common thing but they do catch attention.

Jacks the size of tortilla chips! LOL! Great analogy haha!

When I can't get out fishing, I watch your channel to get my fix. Love your videos man.

Honestly I’d be all for more videos like the 30 day challenge. On days you didn’t catch much maybe do a break down of your gear, your setup, or a tip/technique for us to try for both salt and fresh. Plus the B roll is always killer

I’d love anything you put out there for us to see. Big, small or none at all I’d love to get consistent content rolling out from you. We all love to fish and to see that content but we stick around because we enjoy watching you do your thing regardless of what it is. Hell you can always go back to dragging a kids car behind the truck on the bad days hahaha

Hey Lawson, I recommend a video of your full preparation for fishing almost a vlog style video, I think it would be cool. Just started fishing, you're the best fishing channel on RU-vid. I've learned a ton! Keep it up!

Fishing is not all about catching fish. I loved the drone footage. Also, fishing for me is about getting out and experiencing nature. I love your beautiful water ways and wildlife. Now that I love in North , I get to visit things that I miss when I lived in Florida. Keep it up.

Beautiful day. Excellent video as usual. The adventure is as much a part of fishing as the trophy days on the water. Off days are a part of it and I sure as hell don't mind seeing them.

That's why is call fishing; not every time any of us go out there is going to be the most awesome day. Is nice to learn from the experience.

Yes Lawson I wanna see it all! I watch your videos not just for fishing but cause you're such a cool dude

I like all sorts of fishing trips. I can learn from the good days and the bad days. Also sometimes it's just about getting out there and trying your luck.

I just like watching your videos I do not care if you catch big fish or not. I just like coming home and seeing there is a video for me to watch. It doesn’t matter if you catch a monster or just catch some “dweebs.” Keep up the good work u are doing great

Yo-yo and spoons are a deadly combo

My favorite videos that you posted years ago are the snook on top water. I know you got rid of your boat but I would love to see more. You are by far my favorite RU-vidr. Keep up the good work!

Especially since your channel is changing direction (new boat,etc) put em all out there. Love when u r teaching what u know so well and looking forward to learning w ya as you do the new stuff...

Yes post your adventures! Keeps us interested:)

I say show all your fish. Any body can catch fish on a "Good day". I like to see why you chose what lures you use and how often you make your moves to new areas, and why. That is the reality of fishing 95% of the time. Great vids, keep them coming.

I personally love the videos especially when you recently went paddle boating. The scenery was to die for but the adventures you embark on doesn’t matter if you catch first or not they are really cool to see.

You have the best fishing show ever . Post it all.

The cool thing about the paddle board episode was the environment. Find awesome environments and you're guaranteed awesome content.

There`s a lot more to fishing than just catching fish. We All Love Fishing. Thank You =)

I like seeing the days when you don't always catch monsters. I love catching fish and that is the motivator for me.

That will be awesome the more videos the more fun ways to learn you give great tips n techniques

Show all your adventures brother enjoy your content. It's good to show the bad days too and that your still enjoying what you do. For the young viewers at times dont understand you dont catch a trophy fish everytime you go out. And when they try to be like the people they look up to and dont succeed the way they do. They get discouraged from the wonderful sport of fishing.

Love the way you keep it simple. Keep putting out the videos. Good and bad days. You are doing a great job.

Upload as much as you can man. I look forward to see how you fished and what you did to over come bad weather or bad tide. I truly feel like I learn a lot on your videos.

Just fish and share your thought processes. We don't expect successful trips every time. Can't speak for others but every trip is a learning process for me.

Fishing is fishing bro, anybody who understands will like the video just for the effort it takes. 30 day challenge again I say.

Just purchased my first Surf Rod from Ninja Dagger - can't wait to use it this spring!

Hey Lawson, just keep those videos coming, whether you caught giants or tortillas, we are enjoying them all. Count yourself really blessed. For those of us who dont really get to fish...i would give to my left nut to catch one of those tortilla jacks! Love all your episodes man👍👍

Lawson, for a novice like me, seeing a pro level angler like you not always catching Moby Dick, keeps me motivated on those slow days, or when the big'uns are hiding from me, lol. So, if your reel is hummin... just keep em comin! Big or small, we'll watch em all! 😊

we want to see all the fishing trips . really enjoy watching it from the office .

lawson. Fishing is about the experience you have each time you go, not about what you catch. Naturally you want every trip to be about the big one. I really enjoyed you easing through those Mango trees on your paddle board. it was wild that you could cast and not be in the trees. You make great videos, that are enjoyed by all. Keep plugging.

Upload! upload! upload! Alot are invested in the channel for you, not only catching fish. Keep on keepin on!!!

Upload what you catch. It's life Not everyday is a record, I enjoy seeing how you work those difficult days and conditions

It’s all about passion and enjoined having a good time with does moment in life. Thanks for excelente time fishing. :)

Personally i just enjoy your videos, catching fish or not. You always take great shots of beautiful scenery and I always enjoy what you have to say. I've learned a good amount from your channel and would love to learn more. I think you should upload any fishing adventure you have even if your not catching anything.

I don't care the size of your catches, I love fishing and enjoy your trips.

I love these vids cause I'm. An East coast shore and wading fisherman and it's nice to watch and take notes for my future trips over there

I personally love seeing videos from all these areas whether they are with giant fish or small fish because I live near all of these places and it updates me on the rivers and oceans around me that I have opportunity’s to fish and catch big or small fish out of

Another great video! I actually had a jelly sting me when fishing Pensacola. Unbeknownst to me, a small tentacle got caught on my line and flew off onto my face as the line went onto the reel. I had a nasty red line down my face for awhile! I was glad to be wearing sunglasses! Don't worry about not getting any monsters. I got super-excited over a 14" perch I caught the other day- as I sat in a shanty, on a slab of ice, in 14degree weather. I can always be worse! lol!

If you enjoyed the fishing trip, it is likely that we will enjoy the video. Keep up the good work!

Size of Tortillas Chips.... LOL Great line.

Great video as usual. I think that if you catch small or big, many of few, you should show the videos. For the truth is that this is how fishing is. I live in an area in south Brasil where we have some of the biggest Salminus brasiliensis (Dourado) and Pseudoplatystoma corruscans (Spotted sorubimin) the world, but they are not easy to catch. So the normal day you catch the small and medium size fishes. Thats life, and reality. I like very much when the videos shows the truth about fishing, like this video did, and not only when the big fishes are there. And thanks again for a great video.

Can wait for my big blue. Awesome video

Hey budd, greetings from South Africa, love your vids, show us everything including the days you don't catch anything, show us more of your thought process like lure selection, gear selection and retrieves, keep up the great vids and tight lines.

It's good to see your thought process and learn more about gear and techniques.

Great fishing Lawson🤙🏻🎣

Its called fishing not catching for a reason bro. As long as we are able to get out on some water is all that matters! Tight lines from NE Fl and cant wait for the next vid! One of the best channels out there

Anyone who fishes regularly understands the dry spells. We're here to watch you do your thing. -That includes the psychology behind getting "skunked," especially when you and your friend(s) spend HOURS in the heat without so much as a nibble. I say post everything you got. Many times we get home from a long day of work, and live vicariously through your videos. Most of us live in Florida, I assume, but we all don't have the means or the times to be out there as much as we'd like. Our ticket to freedom is through you!

Great vids. Just show us the reality of the good, the bad & the ugly.

A bad day of fishing is better than not at all. Show it all we enjoy it!!

I watched the whole Vid, my zone is the surf! Huge fan this vid made me a my surf fishing channel happy!!! Thanks for adding it to the surf fishing universe!

Would have loved to watch your fly fishing session too. The switch up of your content is great and encourage you to continue, despite catching monsters or not. 👍👍

Hey, a nice morning on the beach. Sometimes they just aren’t there. Keep fishing and share your adventures with us. Thanks. BTW, my arms were getting tired watching you! I throw an 8’ rod with a 4000 size reel.

Awesome edditing and B roll. Good effort . I as a fisherman i understand its hard. Good job dont stop.

Lawson, I'm new to Florida and fairly new to fishing. Loving the channel. My daughter and I both watch. Great stuff. Thanks for doing what you do.

Love your videos upload all don’t matter If you catch on not. You always have good info.

Yes, post everything. I am constantly learning new techniques. Seeing lures I have never used and have now purchased.

Every fisherman knows that the catch is not always good every time, but I love your videos so it would be awsome if you wanted to load every time you were out! Even if there are only small fish you catch. It's really good movies you make, look'in forward to the next movie.

That's a stud bluefish for Florida!

Sooooo excited to be going to florida sometime next month for a honeymoon with my wife and really hope i can get some good fishing in somewhere. Havent been to florida since 2007 when i moved back to Arkansas. But excited to be going to visit florida again 😁😁✌🏻

Yea man love vids no matter what. You should do it again. You have Help me catch so much more fish now from your tips and tricks from your channel one of the best that there is.

Yes.... Show the crummy days ......lolololol
