I was slow trolling given the time of year, I believe it was 1/8oz split shot couple ft in front of a red gamakatsu #4 hook at .4 mph.

This is the same thing I fish vertically when I find them schooled

Think we were using 1/16 oz jigs

This was mid may, definitely need to get out more, life has gotten into the way. Right now fish will start moving onto deep points. Mid August usually need to leadcore troll deep point in eye sight of the dam, def helps with a navionics type HD card to find the points. Haven't been out in 2 years. Need to get back on horse and boat is not ready

@@Justahobbyoutdoors my bad I just realized you had the date flash up on the video.. the size limit on the walleye at pueblo is unfortunate. Most of the walleyes I've caught are just under also. I havent fished there in a couple years as well. It seems to me they should have the same slot rules as mcconaughy where its 15 inches and only one over 22 inches...

@@davekohn6049 yeah no problem key is to not keep fishing the same school if they are all short, hop to a new spot and see if there is a difference.

My opinion is: you should keep the shorter fish and let the bigger ones go. Every decent walleye lake I've fished from Nebraska to Minnesota has had a shorter legal range for example. I'm not sure what they are trying at pueblo.. but it isnt working. Maybe the majority are stunted at 17 inches? I've fished that lake for 20 years and it's the same story..every now and then u get a solid fish. But mostly its 17, 17.5... same thing with the smallmouth..

Jealous haven't been able to get out due to my wife's illness. Sometime life through curve balls and requires prioritization. Definitely easy catching but sometimes got to move on if there are only 17" eyes in a spot.

Straight across in game wardens cove in that video.

It depended on the day wind and boat movement. I would need 1/4 typically on windy days and if I would be moving the boat between structure at .4 mph for tightening. You want those lines straight down.

If your line starts flattening behind boat then you need more weight

Only in sc and have a video fishing crappie from one sometime back in sc. You can fish from them but recommend a bow mount where the front door is, get big drift socks, rod holders,, electronics and can be good for fishing, but you will be limited on days to fish as they catch alot more wind than a boat.

Not really, the fish are really scattered. You can have luck with jigging rap and spoons if you can find the Mark's under bait balls. Most will be scattered out deep. Jerk baits can also be effective.

No not all can drive all the way up, we drove the whole way because we had an infant

They are always scattered this time of year my best luck has been leadcore over the deep humps on the main lake, not going to catch the numbers this time of year.

I havent fish this summer. Hard adjusting to all the turmoil this summer.

😂

Nope just use low gear in transmission of they let you drive to the top, they also will check brake temps when you come down. They let us drive to top since we had an infant.

Justahobbyoutdoors got it, thanks so much!

@@bb-vf1hb one more thing make sure you stop along the way to acclimatize especially near the top, we got such bad altitude sickness

Justahobbyoutdoors thank you so much for this tip- I’m quite sensitive to altitude. I’m planning to drive all the way to Nebraska after driving this so I can’t get sick! haha

b b I just did this drive last week, I’m not good with heights after the 13 mile mark it gets scary

It is a 2014 f150, not bad on power but using low gears is a necessity coming down, once down from steep switchbacks, they stop you and check temp of brake rotors and people dont read signs and ride brakes the whole way down.

You should change your carpets to heavy duty floors, like the ones in HD Pickup Trucks. That way you would only have to mop and use water. Ask them if you want. Here is info I googled for you. ;) Here is a sample: Maybe? WEATHERTECH (800) 441-6287 | (630) 769-1500 I Email: [email protected]

Your welcome, glad you enjoyed it as much as I did

Sounds good, I havent been back so havent shown anyone

@@Justahobbyoutdoors Thanks dude, im going Tuesday.. I hope it will be good.. its way full. Are you on fishbrain? I like your videos.. you're doing work

@@richarddeems3800 I am not on fishbrain, but this longline technique works great there as you can see. I need to get back on doing videos, I've only gone ice fishing once at eleven mile since october. Just got very busy. Where you at in co, I'm in cos

@@Justahobbyoutdoors Im in cos as well.. falcon to be specific. Fishbrain is a little app.for fishermen.. pretty cool

@@richarddeems3800 I am in fountain, once bait becomes available I need to prep for the cwt at pueblo middle of may if they still have it. Just waiting for minnows to go after crappie at pueblo. John martin has a ton of crappie but no size

Negative we would have a mess with 100ft of line out

Definitely

Thank you but is overpopulated with large white bass and small wiper

@@Justahobbyoutdoors I wish I had an area with this problem near me!

Thank you, I dont hide much in the videos. Just trying to help other fisherman, most people seem willing to help when I am lost also lol. I've met some great people doing these videos, glad you enjoyed it.

@@Justahobbyoutdoors honestly I used to always fish alone... just doing youtube has gained me some great friends, lots of support, and so many tips. It is great.

@@PondsSoloFishing I still fish alone, alot of hassle making plans only for people to cancel, seems to be inevitable

@@Justahobbyoutdoors True. I have a fishing buddy I met about a month or so ago and got lucky... he is reliable and we go fishing like twice a week together... but you are right, normally I will be at the spot waiting only to realize they aren't coming and now I have an hour less time on the water.

Yeah it is easier with the deep v when using light line.

I do have room sometimes. Havent caught any monsters yet but trying. Not to sure how much fishing will get done as october is a busy month for work, maybe Columbus day weekend. Glad you like the videos.

Thank you victor

Np thank you for watching

Would definitely be using them if I had them. Not looking to spend 500 right now.

Thank you, it can be tough finding them. Been tough since the pattern changed.

Started with live bait, leeches and shiners. Switched to single pole jigging a 1/16 oz roadrunner crappie jig with plastics with chart tail not tipped. Worked just as well.

Thank you. Wished I didnt forget my batteries for the ir camera. The night this time of year is the time to fish.

Thank you z

They are ram mount 2000 rod holders. The bases require you to drill into the rails.

Yes it has alot. Wish I could've recorded through the night. People would've complained about a 2 hour video.

The family is good unfortunately axel hasn't been feeling the best. We didnt keep any, initially threw a few white bass in live well but let them go.

@@Justahobbyoutdoors hope Axel feels better soon

Yep two out of my last 3 trips were for kids. It is easy to lose sight of what it's all about.

Yes it is tough especially in an area with no trees lol.

Yes I kept saying we were leaving and yet theres another fish lol

never heard of that one but thank you for the tip.

good luck, lots of smaller trout.

Just got back only one in 4 hours

wow, i know fishing slows alot with this hot weather. They may not be as shallow this time of the year. Huge water temp difference from beginning of June to now.

They were just not biting we could see them they just didn’t want it I guess

wow interesting, must be the summer heat. alot of that during the day at other lakes.

we were using 3/8 oz at .4-.5 mph.
