Out of all the youtube angler's given their 411, Nick the IF hands down is the most effective and extremely helpful angler out here. W/o his help people would be helpless and useless at any level, once again thanks Nick really appreciate you taking the time to help out ! high five!
Hey IF, great video. One thing i would suggest for new guys using frogs. Is wait a second prior to setting the hook. I've lost a bunches of fish early on in my fishing career to setting the hook on the blow up. Now i wait maybe a half a second longer and nowadays loose very few hookups.
Thanks Nick, appreciate the tips. I fish CenTex lakes, high pressure lakes with threadfin shad the main forage. For quite some time now three bites was a good day just beatin the banks! I'm gonna give this big bait technique a shot and let you know how it pans out. Thanks again.
Great stuff nick, I fish the sinkos alot and have always used them the traditional way. Im gonna try the dead stick and it seems u can cover ground more quickly. Thanks for the info!
I am a big time bass fisherman and I always get frustrated watching these videos cuz they are not captioned or transcripted :( I still enjoy watching them though, I just only get the visual stuff not the information. Nice to see a local guy killing it! I love the delta and I see you fish it all the time. Was pretty sure I saw you out by kings island a few months ago.
I truly love your style of going into depth while telling your followers how to fish. when you go into a lake like in NC ( lake gaston) is it better to fish in the grassy when using a frog or not ? I know you want to use a double blade buzzbait in an open area with cypressknees and logs. Anyone with any suggestions please comment !!!
What colour of swimbait will big bass eat? I'm just looking to buy a couple so I was wondering which colour patterns work best , thanks for the videos! The tips are wonderful
Forget a bugatti ,, if i win the powerball first thing I'm getting is a boat lol been on a fishing binge.. use the typical nightcrawler and tired of catching crappie. time to switch it up. thanks for the tips
Love the video! Very good! I have a question: how about 7" senkos? I think they may be better for big fish than 5" senkos and can attract them from far away. It's actually Mike Long's second favorite lure (right after jigs) foi catching giant bass.
this video is great. but i am a beginner and i wanted to know if you can make a video to show things that i could start out with? i go fishing 4-6 hours a day and i want to go pro one day.
nice bass video. could you do a short video on when to use a leader (mono and steel because a lot of my bass baits attract northern), when to tie direct or use a snap swivel
Curtdogg11v . Honestly Curt I never use snaps unless I'm trolling large plugs for stripers. For bass I tie on directly, double surgeons loop for cranks and jerks, Palomar for braid presentations and improved clinch for fluorocarbon. If pike are chomping it off you might want to just use a heavier fluorocarbon leader, just do the double surgeons loop so the heavy line does not rob the lure of it's action. You can attach the lines together with a uni to uni knot or cigar or blood knot or just a little barrel swivel. Best of fishing!
Definitely love the advice. Ive watched many of your videos. Gain constant knowledge from them. Thank you for the tips and advice. Love your page on facebook also.Only question. Ive been using a lot of Lews brand rods and reels. Not many pros talk about the brand. and I was told they were as good as Abu Garcia. Do you think they are any good or should I steer more towards Abu Garcia and duckett brands??I know the equipment doesn't make the fishermen but I also know it helps to have good quality equipment.
Hey Nick, So I unfortunately don't own a boat and am stuck to bank fishing, the lake I have the best luck at has some warm water maybe 75 degrees right now. Where I fish it has some docks and bed and some sand. What times of day would you suggest? The biggest fish I've pulled out of there was a 4 pounder on a sinko.
elliottgamer Time of day is not as important as location. Early in the they will roam the open shallow water, later in the day when the sun moves over head they will move deeper or into thicker cover or under docks.
There's a pond next to me and in that pond there is a fountain.There are 5 pounders jumping like crazy but I can't seem to find the pattern.I need some tips.
man! I went bass fishing today for like 4 hours and only had 2 bites.. I will see them following my lure but they wouldn't bite! idk what the hell happened today :/ I used 3 different lures a frog , a plastic warm and big sardine I felt two bites with the worm but no catch
Brian Urias I spent 40 bucks at bass pro for my first one and it wasn't the greatest obliviously but still great because i didn't want to spend a whole ton. i have been using them for a while and still dont plan on spending more than 150.. the cheap stuff will still catch fish haha
"Don't fish any "bait" w/ stock split rings or stock hooks." No wonder there are no other comments on this video. Everybody else must've seen your instructions on one of your other videos. The hooks and rings on a name brand lure are more than sufficient for hooking and holding the biggest bass it was designed for, which in this case is the biggest bass that was designed. I have never bent or broken a treble hook in 50 years of bass fishing, and that's a lot of bass fishing. I fished the phosphate pits in central Fl. It's where Bill Dance films, because although we have Lk. Kissimmee and Okeechobee, etc, even they are no match for the strip pits left by the mining operations. While other people were cooking mullet at their fish fries we were frying bass fillets. Anyway...a LOT of bass. Rapalas, bangolures, devil's horse, spooks, you name it; You REALLY think these people don't know what they're doing? No bent trebles, no open split rings....ever. If I was Trokar, I think i'd pull you back just a little. You got some loose knots. How'd we ever catch bass before $10 hooks?

Ask any pro out there if they fish stock hooks and rings and the answer will be no 100% of the time, P.S. you're welcome.
+partner348 Ive broken at least 10 hooks on 5 or 6 rapala shadow raps this year.... and probably had double that bent outta shape... yea you should switch out hooks!
InformativeFisherman .can u send me and my brother a spincast reel because our fishing reel broke if u can please but i also dont want you to spend a lot of money its ok if u cant
