Your videos are some of the most informative, well illustrated, and concise fishing videos. Too many others belabor the subject, but you simply provide the necessary information clearly. Keep them coming.

[@sleetherookie2929]

These are awesome tips. Fishing the low percentage pads or heavy cover, I can find some fish where other anglers move on after they fish the high percentage areas. I was fishing heavy cover at a public lake and caught fish behind other anglers which they already fished saw me catching a few bass and they came right back to the area I was at. Just doing the complete opposite from others and have fun out on the water to learn.

[@ronaldyeater3322]

Sup. I like points, pockets and holes, didn't know the rest. And didn't think of most lures mentioned. I throw a buzz toad lure(like a buzzbait with just a toad), but only use it along pads? Always Afraid to throw other lures and baits in deep cover, just clicked from another video, think jigs and or square bills? You said won't catch the bass if afraid to throw into wood ECT... All that just made sense in my head. Think sometimes we under think things and over think things.. All together makes sense. Ty tc

I Love Pad Fishing, my favorites are the top water frog, weightless stick worm, swim toad, and paddle-tail swimbait, I kill it with those.

[@piselders9905]

I am the first timer fishing@ Bass Lake in Michigan without any knowledge of fishing technique, of course it ends disappointment. I started to be following your advice. Tomorrow, is my new beginning. Thinks for the tips.

[@lancewilliams5273]

Helpful video, pads here in Florida seem to thrive year round but grow denser at different times of year. Usually if its to thick I move to a more clear spot. This video gives me confidence to fish pad pockets and outer edges. Thanks

[@LyrusLLupo]

Some of my favorite spots at my favorite lake are exactly like you say! Mix of lillypads with underwater vegetation. Thank you, i can't wait to apply this knowledge at new locations.

[@Mr.Higgs.]

I love these visual pictures of what you are talking about, they really help out on what you are exactly talking about. I'm a very big hands and and visual learner.

[@waynewayniacwilson297]

Tyler , once again great video and great advice. I wish I had this kind of knowledge when I was your age and fishing. One thing I wish I new better was what I saw on your video today. Spot in your ear like I had in mine that I kept picking and breaking the scab, turned out not so good. Get it checked out. As fisherman we put sunscreen on our faces but a lot of time not on the ears, I had to get both ears op'd on and it started with a small spot. get checked brother! Fish ON!

[@farrzmd3038]

Great video. I’ll definitely be trying some of this out from the bank on the one pond that has vegetation. I’ll be checking out those gamblers. Everyone here throws worms so finding something different should work.

[@netzde]

Thanks man! I missed such a lily pad video so much, and here it is...thanks a lot!

[@franksancimino1297]

Great 100 % love the extra Florida info...can't sell a squarebill in fl.for pads...they know now😁

[@dawnparker2014]

Great video. Were we are in Florida, the lakes have alot of pads. my favorite type of cover to fish. Thank you.

[@colorblindboxing7207]

I swear by weightless senkos. That slow fall is so deadly.

[@benniemaxwell2869]

Got it. Can’t wait to work on it. My little home lake gets a lot of weeds in summer including the pads.

[@RogerFordTheSmilingBassHole]

Great video! I LOVE fishing lily pads, and now I can catch even MORE fish thanks to your advice. Awesome! Roger, The Smiling BassHole

[@WiggyShowtime]

Thanks for the detailed highlighting of high percentage area that was extremely helpful

[@tonyfloro3014]

Bruv, Very relevant to Australian species. Good,quick breakdown of Zones & your videos very different to the normal stereotypical bass fishing uploads. I was about swipe up but caught my interest & the quickclip of the rock wall f nailed it for me. Fluro

[@chrismichaelson5668]

Always throw at least a little pads when I hit a lake, usually will get some there. Good info, will include some of this new info such as the point and pocket tip into my bank of knowledge.

[@lmcpike0320]

I appreciate all the advice! Been very beneficial.I learn something new with every video. I’d like to see some more fishing videos tho.

[@BassFishingHQ]

I had planned to go to TN a couple weeks back to get some more fishing videos but then I got the Rona. But I am making a trip in a few weeks

[@lmcpike0320]

Gotcha. I had it a few weeks ago as well. Keep up the good work dude. I live in Oregon and it’s pretty cold.I’ll be out fishing a lot more in mid February.

[@ianlarge6789]

Great video. The master grass video is killer too. Keep up the good work!

[@fishinwithryley4547]

Awesome!!! This is gonna help with my upcoming tournament in the spring a bunch!!! Hope I can get to top 4

[@tedlincolnsfishinglife]

Nice! Living in Florida pads are a way of life. I also always wonder why the bigEZ isn’t fished much out side of Florida. Have you ever used the gambler hallow point clear plastic screw in bullet on your stickbaits (aka the Florida rig)? There a bait and time saver in heavy pads!

[@BassFishingHQ]

Yes those are a great little product

[@tedlincolnsfishinglife]

@@BassFishingHQ that rig got me my PB 12lb 8oz!

[@benwilkey2060]

I always have good luck with the Project Z Weedless and a good double willow spinnerbait in the spring when it’s mostly stems. I love fishing pads in general though-just wish we got to do more of it here in OH!

[@callaseter4811]

Another one hit out of the park sir! Thanks for the tips ! 👍🏻🙏🥰

[@dougiemac8417]

Man you are chock full of very valuable information. Unfortunately most of what you said was way over my head. The only thing I understood was that lily pads are butt cracks. Keep up the excellent content. I’ll catch on one day. 👍🏾👍🏾

[@edwardcowan7012]

Mann's 1-Minus is a great crankbait for fishing around pads!

[@Pw.asap99]

Only real ones know about manns shallow cranks!

[@keithl7422]

Caught a bass followed what he said 😂 great video !!! 👍👍👍

[@mikerivera2262]

When I see pads I throw a frog and man do they love it here in FL

[@charlesfredrick4789]

I like rigging a lizard with a small split shot six to eight inches in front of it. Rig weedless they glide across the lily pads. And you can drop them into the small pockets. Bass will often smack them right off the surface.

[@bigbreakfast1972]

That's awesome stuff!! Thank you!

[@ukstorm2727]

great video, was it just me or did anyone else try and wipe the piece of dust off off of their screen but it was on Tyler's nose? Lol, looks like a scratch from a baby lol

[@BassFishingHQ]

You literally nailed it. My oldest son has been constantly scratching my face off

[@Glock-1]

I primarily fish in places that the bluegill are the food source what color of the Big Easy should I get to mimic them the best?

[@chrisschindele5297]

You are one of my favorites for sure Tyler. Best comment of the video is the “butthole” thing. Your content is super detailed and helpful, I absolutely died laughing about this though. No idea what to call it either. It will for ever be termed as the “butthole” in my family now. Thanks for all you do. I really enjoy watching your stuff and it helps me a bunch.

[@joneitson2113]

What size weight are you mainly using on the tx or Tokyo rig? Since your not punching but fishing the edges?

[@johnschauder]

I prefer the Keitech Fat Impact or the BioSpawn Exo Swim over the Gambler Big ez. I also prefer the Owner and VMC twist lock weighted swimbait hooks over the Gamakatsu ones.

[@cvleng0822]

I've always been told not to fish the large expansive lilly pad areas because the oxygen level is lower because it doesnt get any sunlight. And the fish dont like the lower oxygen level. Not sure how true this is.

[@kevinconway7646]

Great video! Thank you!

[@FishingwithDaddyo]

Great video. Thanks!

[@juleswinnfield826]

Good info, thanks for the vid

[@tommiks5649]

New subscriber here after watching you on ARF. I got onto the Tokyo rig in pads this year and have been sort of spreading the word of it sparsely. It works well in a mix of duckweed and pads.

[@BassFishingHQ]

Thanks for jumping on board man. It really can be the deal at times

[@travelingman1983]

Is that Indian lake at 2:18?

[@BassFishingHQ]

The drone shots are

[@AROoutdoors]

My favorite way to catch them!

[@kencarnes5120]

Yet another Great Video

[@davidwells6556]

6:58 So Lilly pads are like Aliens?

[@jimford1256]

Yes they have some great prices, however, they also have the highest flat rate shipping price in the industry, $8.00. So that makes them just average even with their price deals.

[@dude999642]

You know your stuff!

[@MikeM.31]

Nice video! Very helpful. Where at in Ohio are you from? I'm in NE Ohio. Been watching you for a while now and never realized you were from here. Keep up the good content!

[@BassFishingHQ]

I live in Delaware. I love NE Ohio. Best lakes in the state are around there

[@MikeM.31]

@@BassFishingHQ gotcha! I go right past Delaware on my way to Columbus for the fishing expo in February. But you are right about that! I spend most of my season fishing portage lakes, mosquito and Milton. Some of the best fishing I've found in Ohio. I'm looking into starting videos this summer to cover ohio and surrounding lakes. I hope to be as half as helpful as you are. Your videos are great and help me so much.

[@gerryhazelton9569]

[@ak99]

So basically fish all around the pads... lol.

[@airsoftgodfather]

These "pros" contradict themselves all the time. It's starting to really get under my skin. "You always want a bait that mimmicks what they see every day like a shad or bluegill." Then 2 minutes later in their same video "Always use this butthole juice dropper 9000 lure because it's something the bass have never seen"
