I love to catch them, but I don't eat them.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Yes they are!

Thanks!

I'm thankful to fish any day. I came close to not surviving a bad illness a couple years back, so every time I go is a win for me.

The grunts and groans are due to health issues that I have from a serious illness that I survived. Laugh all you want, I'm just glad to be alive.

@FCPFishing I was being very sarcastic because I see Even the professionals do the same freaking thing on a two pounder. Glad you survived.

@@scottjacopian3191 No worries.

I've got several spinning rigs, but on this video I was using a 7 ft medium fast Ark Essence rod and a Shimano Vanford 2500 reel.

Yes Sir! We have some monster Spots! I know you've got the big Largies down there. Thanks for watching!

It depends on what size fluke I'm using. I will use different sized flukes depending on the size of the bait I'm seeing. Lately, I've been using a 1/8 or a 1/4 oz jig. I make my own and I usually use a 4/0 Mustad Ultra Point hook until I get up to a 1/2 oz, then I will use a bigger hook.

I never troll, so I'm probably not the guy to ask.

Thanks! I think a Striper fights harder than any other fish in fresh water. I've caught lots of Pike and Muskies, and they don't compare to a big Striper.

That was an old review. I agree with you after trying some of their stuff.

@@FCPFishing I didn't look at the date, sorry. I am just trying to warn anyone & everyone not to waste their money on Sixgill products. The grips started to fall apart after the 1st weekend's use. Their response was to put shrink wrap over them. Such BS.

@@stevekelly3138 I had customer service issues too. I bought one of their reels and I never got to use it because it would reel in line all on one side of the reel. They wouldn't stand behind it so that was it for me. The customer service dude was an ass on top of everything else. I'll never buy anything from them again.

@@FCPFishing We must've had the same CS guy. He said the ad stated they were having issues with the grips & they would not be covered under warranty. I would NOT have bought an unknown (to me) product that had that statement in the description. NO WAY. Lesson learned. Never buy sight unseen fishing equipment, especially from a newbie to the market. I wish I could post a photo of the grips after only a few hours of use.

@@stevekelly3138 I even broke one of their rods fighting a one pound bass, which they would not replace. He said I put too much stress on the rod. Ridiculous. I can't believe they are still in business, but they have their fan boys that get nasty if you give a bad review.

Thanks!

Thanks!

There is a certain population of Stripers that stay up in the river year round, but there have been more showing up. Watch for the Sea Gulls, they will tell you where the Stripers are.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks Chauncey! Glad to hear you are catching some.

@ Thanks Dana, I will be practicing ALOT more with the jig and fluke, where I’m fishing is shallow , anywhere from 3 to 5 feet , so I’m using a 1/8oz jighead with a super fluke, so we’ll see what happens 🎣

@@chaunceydavis5290 I think the jig and fluke is most effective in lakes that have Shad/Herring as the baitfish, but it will work anywhere.

@ I’m going to try it next weekend, to see, I’ll let you know how it goes 🎣

That wind was brutal! It does help position the fish, though.

Thanks! I almost lost my camera, that wind was fierce!

The old insulated cover alls keep me warm.

Yeah, I like to fish when it is cold. It’s my happy place.

@@FCPFishing me to nobody out to bug you!

That is awesome! Thanks!

That is great! The jig and fluke is effective!

The older I get, the harder it is to endure the cold. I love the winter fishing, though.

Time to bundle up, the long johns are a must.

It's cold and windy in the boat too. The boat drive was pretty cold.

1/4.

@FCPFishing Thank you for the jig head size. I really like that Fluke and Jig you use and I Will use it next year in my bass tournaments. I will definitely give you shout outs if I catch some with it.

@@coveultimatefishing8937 Spend a little time and get the technique down and you will catch fish with it. Most guys give up after a few casts, but there is a certain way you have to get the feel for.

@@FCPFishing absolutely. I need to start practicing with it now since I do fish Lanier often so I can get the hang of it. I am watching how you jig and retrieve it. Lol. I also got to stop crappie fishing long enough to practice. Lol

I don’t have live scope, but I have a regular fish finder.

White.

It’s my happy place.

Yes, I am still frozen!

It felt good to be out and catching something!

Thanks for watching!

It depends on the wind, but if no wind I would use a 1/4 or maybe a 3/8.

Thanks 👍

I actually like the wind when I'm fishing. It sure helps them bite and positions them. It is cold, but it's about time . We have been way too warm.

Thanks for watching! Technically, the winds creates a current that moves the plankton that the baitfish feed on, so the baitfish follow - and then the bass follow the baitfish. I am glad to have some wind when I fish.

I'm with you on that one! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! I won't give specific locations because it's crowded enough as it is, but you can bet I will be fishing in the creeks a little farther north from you. I do fish in the Gainesville Marina area quite often too.

@@FCPFishing Thanks; that's all I was asking. Do you do guided outings?

@@ronparker6783 Rarely. Unfortunately I work such a crazy work schedule that it's pretty hard to plan for anything.

@@FCPFishing Okay. I enjoy and learn a lot!

Yeah, I don't want to go for a swim. I probably catch more fish on a jig than any other lure. They are probably not great in all of those weeds that you are fishing around.

@@FCPFishing yeah I can't get anything down near the bottom without getting the lure back with some hair algae or some type of plant matter on it.

I will catch some fish with it.

Thanks!

I list the lure in the video description, but it was a Swampro Lures Powah Glide in the 4 1/2 inch size. I fish it on a jig head like I do with a fluke. It is something different that the fish haven't seen a million times and I caught a lot of fish on it. They sent me a couple packs to try out before they went on their site. They are available now.

If only it were that easy! My goal is to make a living from my channel, so that is what I am working towards. I just have to survive until it happens.

Love ur video go home get mama to rubber ur back side glad u didn't fall in the clod water brother have a good happy Thanksgiving to u

Thanks Titus! I hope you had a good one too.

The mics that I use are glitchy, but they were working good on this video.
