very helpful

Im a newbie fisher. From all that I have seen, heard and discussed, it seems to me the overall behavior and ecology is important. Can someone simplify the basics, not because Im stupid, rather Im trying to build a simple basis to work off of. As in, what can I look up and study beforehand, as well as, what are some basic tennets? I understand a swivel, sinker, bobber, and basic terminology. But, I dont understand how to basically apply these different techniques in the right order/combination. For example, I was near Bridgton-Sebago Maine in a local lake. Not crazy movement of water, about half of the movement of water was due to wind. Was mostly murky and dark, only the coast was visible in direct sunlight (could see at most 6ft deep, and it wasnt clear). I used some spinner lures with light line and light sinkers (not moveable sinkers) and I caught a small bass, a pikerel, and a pike. Nothing large, or legally able to keep, but I caught something. I focussed on giving time to let the bait sink, and then tried to drag it across the bottom without catching on plants (it never even once caught on a rock which was suprising) as I had read previously. And our of the probably 40 casts, caught those three fish, 1 on day one and the last 2 on day 2. I noticed that the bait with a shiny bottom was a big difference, but I noticed the thinner slender spinner was better for smaller fish and the shorter girthier bait was better for the bass (small bass not the big bass species). Also, I noticed a lot of biting, but a lot of letting go with a tigher barrel (the spool, I dont know the proper name). When I let the looseness of the line go lower via the nob on the top of the spool, same amount of bites, but I ended up getting 2 fish rather than that 1 small bass. I knownI was getting bites only because that was the only thing I remember learning as a kid, about the difference between stuck and actually having a bite and actuallt fighting the fish with the reel. So all in all, id like to know what I should take away from that experience as well as what should I be paying attention to, and even, if possible, the main theory. I love learning, so this is not a chore. Thanks!!!

One time i broke my fishing rod because it was so tangled and the line wasn't working so i got a new one yesterday sorry im super late more that super

Awesome video! Just what I needed as I just bought a fishing rod today and had no idea how to set it up. I have never fished in my life and im going to begin taking my kids fishing. Thank you!

Best video. Very helpful!!! This helps so much

Was there any trash in the area?

Short, concise, and to the point…and you didn’t try to sell me anything. Thanks!

Good to see you again!

Thanks for uploading this video. I have been trying to improve my fishing gear & techniques. Your videos have helped me a lot. Thank you!

just found an older lure vid of urs today just to see you uploaded a new vid just 4 hours ago haha awesome

Just discovered your channel will rematch all your other information videos.

Nice video Zach! Good to see you! Thanks for sharing!

Always glad to see you post! Hope life is treating you well

That worm isn't going to live long. 🙄

Where do you put them if you're on a boat. Lol I forgot a lot...also my strings have no loops. Gotta get them too.

Love this quick strait to the point video!. I ended up grabbing the last one you showed out of a good estimated guess before I really got into fishing im glad I was on the right track 🙏👍

My fiancé and I are about to start fishing together she plans to teach me but I’m the type of guy that likes to research hobbies. I gotta say this video will be very beneficial for someone who’s never cast a like since they were 8.

Just a guess, this is in North Dakota?

Thank you my friend

Love the confidence and explanation of everything. Great teaching brother, well done.

Finally , a simple, fast and straightforward tutorial . Thank you very much !!
