Are YOUR Trips Like THIS? (Wacky Rig Bank Fishing)

[@treverwagner]

Really appreciate the realistic approach you bring to fishing. Never afraid of showing the snags, reel breaks, rod tip breaks you keep it real on your channel. The true day in the life of a bank angler...😀

[@jhriggs]

Thanks for showing the real stuff, Debo! I appreciate that you don't just edit out all of the snags, broken lines, dinks, missed fish, etc. It makes me feel much better when I have a "real", "normal", unedited day! (That is, every time!)

[@MikeColeVocals]

Well this reminds me of my average fishing trip minus actually bringing the bass into shore! Love your videos Debo, thanks for sharing your fishing adventures.

[@Nick_Hunter2]

“Screw it I’m going straight braid” haha a guy can only retie so many leader knots before he loses his cool.

[@DavidBronstein1961]

I’ve gone to straight braid in stained water and not lost any bites, a lot easier than tying leaders and eliminates another weak point (line to leader knot).

[@TeamAbbott44]

Fish don't care!

[@malcolmgower1005]

I love that I get to wake up, have a coffee and watch a viDebo before I get to working. Just sets the day up.! Thank you Debo, just watching fishing sometimes geta a person out of that head space, I know that you have done that for me. Thank you. Love out of South Africa 🇿🇦

[@AlbertoLopezR79]

Hey Debo..! Just joined your channel a couple of weeks ago and I’m devouring your vids. It’s refreshing to find cool and relaxed dudes like yourself sharing all this pond knowledge and everyday mishaps with us. I speak for myself, but I think there’s a lot of grateful people that enjoy learning from grounded guys like you the everyday stuff that other channels won’t share. Greetings from México.

[@farmkid1981]

That was the BEST fishing video on the net. IT WAS REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@tdeeb6359]

Glad you went out today. Was an encouragement to me. Thanks for showing us how it really goes some days.

[@jamesp2674]

This goes in tune with Saturdays discussion! You put reality out! Dinks, normal dude that just loves fishing, and snags... lots of snags! Thanks for the vids!

[@juli82E]

I fish some very pressured water full of wood...where the trees at the bank are full of bobbers, lures and line..like fishin' Christmas trees..Lol, part of feeshin'!! Tonight I got my first big blow up on the frog in a newish pond and it was a giant! So cool, love the Vega frog!!! Thanks for the frog bug Debo!

[@makeyasaywat7516]

You’ve gained a subscriber! I appreciate you sharing an actual fishing trip. Loosing lures and snagging hooks are my life story. A lot of KZbinrs don’t show the irritating and sad side of fishing. I had a bad day yesterday trying to fish and lost jigs and hooks on grass and trees, and they never touched the water, the wind was blowing them back 😑 the life of a bank fisherman. Looking forward to more great videos from you! 🤗

[@bernjwallace6877]

I had that “why am I out here” day today. Lost a Ned rig head with a trz Ned plastic, a 1/2 oz weight, and strike king under spin with trailer. After that I had to leave. Fishing from the bank on rocks is tough.🎣

[@justinredden1729]

You always appreciate the grind Debo, mad respect for that

[@nancymills5993]

Thank you for another great one. I like your honesty in showing that not everyday will be good and not every fish is a big one but like you said just getting out there is what’s it’s all about. It does wonders for the soul.

[@tynakagawa6126]

Thanks for showing the good, the bad and the ugly. Keep doing what you do!

[@spencergreenwaldt6783]

I haven’t seen that many snags since Saturday when I was out! Thanks Debo.

[@randycarpenter4391]

DEEBO just want you to know your the best in KZbin!!!! So down to earth!!!!! Keep the vids coming and come to Michigan

[@michaelstake7440]

Catching any fish is always better than working lol. I always enjoy watching you and your videos.

[@wesmattless5776]

Loving your videos Debo, down to earth and just having fun with it. Kudos dude, keep plugging!

[@uqox]

I'm glad I was able to find your channel. I'm a bank fisher picking up the pastime of fishing after being away from it for years. Your tips are helpful!

[@Little_B]

I've started rigging my wacky rig like Gene Jenson mentioned in a video this year,using a small piece of clear shrink tube,then putting the hook through the shrink tube.I get get tired of dealing with a tool,and rings.Enjoyed the video Debo, thank you!

[@JesseG085]

I've been trying to get him to try it to see what he thinks. It's crazy how well it works.

[@drewrewger4044]

This works so well. I've stated doing this as well. Saw it on flukes vid too. That worm won't tear off. You can pretty much bet on that.

[@DavidBronstein1961]

The horizontal hook placement where the hook goes across the Senko instead of in the same direction of the Senko is what intrigues. I’ve seen Debo do that double ring crossed over and sticking the hook in the cross to get the same effect and I tried it and can’t manage it. Seems to be more of a PITA than it’s worth. So the shrink wrap has been ordered from Amazon. Can’t wait to try it. Also: those wacky jigs he uses? See those missed fish? Not surprised. My hookup ratio with them is meh. And they do get snagged a lot, like Debo saw. Been using Gammy weedless wacky, not bad at all. But this summer actually have been having more luck t-rigging senkos with a 1/16 oz weight (screw-in, like Mr. Martin does it) and throwing it into weed pockets. Can fish much more water, deeper into cover where the feesh have been hiding, at least in my lakes. But when they are biting so close to shore like Debo had, yup, wacky is the way to go!

[@JesseG085]

@@DavidBronstein1961 Watch Flukemaster's video on wacky rigs. He fishes mostly from a boat or kayak but also has a different take on wacky rigs than Debo. I think everyone should watch both of their videos and figure out what's best for them.

[@DavidBronstein1961]

@@JesseG085 will do. And as an aside for anyone who disses Senkos, watch latest Glen Blanchard tournament vid. He crushed a few fish on frogs but when the bite slowed, out came the Senko (and also a drop shot) to get his limit and also I think a few culls.

[@gearlist]

Got me thinking about picking up a psycho stick - such a cool trip, great work Debo! 😎

[@dennisstewart7849]

When out Wednesday night, Lee County, Southeast Iowa lake. Going for some big gills. Lost 3 hooks and line on three large gills. They could have been largemouth, but the way they bit, I think gills. Broke off each one and had to retie. Only out for about two and one half hours. Still worth the time and the effort, caught ten gills and one nice largemouth. Five of the gills were over nine inches and one was a really nice ten incher. Keep up the good work and have a great day.

[@its_not_me999]

I've definitely had days like that, sometimes with no fish caught. Way to persevere Debo.

[@JoshM81]

Thanks for showing the struggles we all have donated plenty tackle to our local fishing holes awesome to keep such a positive about it keep your head up and the heat coming 🎣🎣🔥🔥

[@barrymckinney4347]

I really appreciate you sharing a true grind day! Even showing the thousand hang up and break off! LOL be there done that! Great vid!

[@acon2834]

I use the small rubber bands that come on produce. Double up a few times and slide on using a ballpoint pen tube, they work great!

[@davidrauschenbach6871]

Yep many days like that, started putting a folding saw on side of my tackle bag for those really rough days! Thanks for the video!

[@aaronb3760]

Love the realistic videos. We all struggle, but few keep at. Keep the vids coming

[@numberonenole4590]

The Dink-Meister!! Good video Debo!!! Love some 6th sense baits too.

[@marcsciarrotta3109]

Tackle warehouse is gonna love you!! You have to buy a bunch of new stick baits!! 😂 --- Great vids!! Keep it up Debo!!!

[@n0myst3ry]

Hey debo I use Zoom Zlinky for wacky rigs, they have awesome action but very soft. I found when you do your double O ring trick on the worm itself, it rips into the worm a tiny bit, then basically starts ripping it in half as you cast and retrieve it. So I learned to crisscross the rings with the hook on the skinnier section of the wacky tool and then slide it up onto the worm. So easy!

[@HorribleAnglers]

I’m there with you boss. Wacky rigs and Ned rigs usually save me from the good old skunk.

[@brad6420]

Days like this are what make the pb catching trips all that much more special. Hope you get to feelin better brother keep your head up Debo!

[@KMoo180]

I love how you keep it real Debo. Keep up the great content!

[@jasoncramer83]

I have had plenty days like that. Throwing a square bill shallow has been the deal for me this summer, that said lord knows how many 13 fishing jabber jaws and KVD 1.5’s I’ve lost…🤬🤬😭😭🤷‍♂️. Love your channel brother. I do almost all my fishing from the bank…pond hopping, some days the struggle is real! If it makes you feel better I’ve had 1 top water bass all summer..I saw in another video you made the comment that some haters were saying it’s easy to catch from a pond…they don’t know a damn thing. Ignore them. Your reviews, tips, and content are awesome. Keep grinding. Keep your head up.

[@brianlee9074]

It's been a wacky year for sure Debo. Little or no frog bite, lots of worm bites. Same here in Oregon. Drought conditions on land, and pond. lol ✌🏻🎣

[@undercoverhipster4237]

I'm amazed how you have so much bank to fish. I'm in NE Pennsylvania and if I want an area to fish I have to bring a machete to clear that area. Then you have to deal with poison ivy. Not always joyous and get snagged a lot, but I still do it.

[@Thepondguy85]

Love that you post all the content and not like most just catching big one. I would rather catch dinks all day than just one big one. Keep up the badass work man. Til next time 👊

[@YAMMUZIK]

I wish the temps down here we're in the 70's already, Thanks to the old Yum curly tail on Teq-sunrise has been my savior 😁 during this month.

[@petefasel]

I thought this was gonna be a B-roll for the first few casts. Glad you stuck with it!

[@Reel-Adventures]

Wacky ,wacky,bass o snaggy! Lol! Good video brother! Dinkin with Debo! You are not alone on the dinkorama my friend! Fish on!

[@BrianKuhl]

Way to show the grind. Been a tough year for me too when I’ve been out but a day on the water beats the grind the rest of life can be. Feesh Strong.

[@CrackingBass]

O-ring is a must for me with the wacky, regardless of brand. I've also used clear heat shrink tubing, cut it down, slip it on, hit it lightly with a lighter, works well (Flukemaster tip). I just got the 6th Sense divine shakey worm & their ridge worm today. Excited to try them out, haven't used any 6th Sense stuff yet.

[@koozhound32]

Picked up a pack of 6th sense shakey worms and that’s all I could get the fish to bite last trip out. They get a thumbs up from me.

[@sjones7400]

That was a fun trip. Plus, look st all the practice you got retying and setting up your rig😁. I have entire months like that. Not just occasional trips. ✌️

[@trickytrav88]

Great video Debo. Hey a bunch of dinks is better than nothing thats for sure. The one thing about us bank anglers is we loose alot of lures unfortunately. God Bless and tight lines.

[@glennschramm7255]

real world fishing that's our Debo keep up the truth !

[@gr3ktbad281]

Hope everything is going well Debo!

[@therealjose300]

Awesome video!!! Love the message you gave at the end!!👏🏾

[@richardsanchez6133]

The good ole wacky rig never fails

[@southernrun9048]

Always a good video with Debo fishing 👍👊

[@davewashburn8930]

Man Debo, I have days like that too!!! Always keep the good ol’ cheap yum dingers on hand. Doesn’t hurt so much when ya catch a snag. Thanks for the vid👊

[@ronaldyeater3322]

Sup. Love whacky rig. Cought bunch of bass, too bad lost some and lost tackle. Tough day but any bass counts👍. Wood piles are tough. Never saw a whacky worm tool? Like the spinning combo. Ty tc

[@garrettmccoy6863]

Another great video! Those darn snags ain’t good! Glad you were enjoying it!

[@MoMan.88]

Dang Debo I admire your patience, I would have lost my mind, and said every swear word in the book, probably would’ve broke my rod, threw said rod in lake, and who knows what else if I got hung up that much lol 😅

[@jg5564]

Fishing is so much fun , good vid bro !!

[@macjig5148]

I appreciate these kind of videos. We all have these "challenging" types of days. At least I know I have. My last time out I lost two crankbaits. One was a brand new 6th Sense crank; losing it on the very first cast. Beautiful. Frustrating? Yes ! But that's what makes fishing the wonderful sport it is.

[@markphilippsjr]

Those days😔 Right on Debo! Keep it up.

[@jessieosborne3576]

Bring out the last hope and tie on a wacky. Feel you man.

[@blagdaross5953]

I feel you with those snagged lures. I lose more lures than I catch fish. I'm on par with the dinks too. Last time I went out, I caught a 3/4 pounder and the other one was even smaller, probably 1/2 pounder or less.

[@StanTheMam]

Lets go!!! Love the 6th sense hat and big bite shirt

[@fishindood]

What you bring is reality, I can’t say that there are many other you tubers that truly record like you do and focus a lot on the bank/beginners! Offering wealths of knowledge in every video! Keep doing your thing Debo! Don’t get influenced by this other “trend” or “hype!” Although calling the cops may just get a lot of views though! 😂

[@john__photography]

Great job bud!!! Love the 6th sense clout!!

[@kenappleby8481]

6th Sense still has summer discounts going on so I went ahead and got some of those worms! I've never had as many snags as you but on your "grinder" day you still caught more than my grinders so I tip my hat to you good sir :)

[@scottrudy426]

I watch a lot of Bass fishing videos and I think this is the first one I've seen where snags were included. I'm limited to fishing the lake behind the apartments I live in. The lake is loaded with Large Mouth and also snags. The Bass are very hard to catch, very hard to get them to even bite on anything. Most of the time I just feed the lake all of my lures, very frustrating.

[@josephnywayfarer1345]

Hope all is well Debo. I have that Lew’s Speed Spin. Great reel for the money I bought it in 10, 20 and 30 sizes I liked it so much

[@aldeureaux5184]

I have had many days like that. I break off a lot too. I don’t mind it so much if I am catching fish or I have used a rig for awhile, I just hate to break off the first or second time I cast a new rig 😐 Good video!!

[@kalecastaneda]

Thanks for making videos it helps me get through some days.

[@rubenakacoolerlid2314]

It was a day similar too that which made me switch to fishing out of a Kayak Great video buddy 👍

[@TS19781]

Another great video! Really appreciate your videos!

[@wolfmanmark6773]

Finally a vid from you I can more relate to. Getting snagged and breaking the line.😁

[@pacman_17]

I'm usually done after losing 2 lures. Catching 4 or 5 around a pound is my typical fishing trip. Hopefully things will get better for you soon.

[@stevenelmer4791]

Glad to know that I’m not the only one that fishes like this. I wish I could find wacky hooks in bulk. Like 1000 per pack.

[@clyderussell6005]

I have had my fair share of those days this yr. Did exactly what you did said forget it going straight braid.

[@Outdoorguy87]

i was taring it up yesterday on the wacky rig. thanks debo caught my pb 2lbs 2oz i started bass feeshin this year

[@TrackOneBatavia]

Loved the message Debo

[@cjbotts]

This is almost identical to my last two outings minis the fish catching. Minus the bites even. Southeast PA sucks for fishing this time of year though

[@ROZDAB]

I went to same stretch of river near me a bunch of times the last couple weeks. One of the trips I lost a lot of rigs for some reason. Was getting snagged on everything. Usually I know how to fish the area and don’t have a problem with losing Ned rigs to snags but that day it was a different story.

[@tanner1061]

Love me a good wacky rig video! Plus bank fishing

[@MrSeanWesty]

The life of a bank angler....losing a thousand baits for every fish we catch!! Keep up the great videos!

[@johnbrown8090]

I refuse to keep losing baits ...got to the point most of my lures are just for looks 🤣😂

[@TackleJunky81]

Sucks to get snagged so much, but I'm sure you had bulk packs of hooks and worms in your pocket! 🤣👊

[@jonnygranville281]

LOVE the outro music. 👍👍

[@live2fishofficial]

I never thought I’d be proud to say this, but my last outing had you beat on the dink dinkfest man! This heat sure has brought them out…

[@Nick_Hunter2]

You caught bigger fish than the bum on the couch that said it was too hot!

[@hookedonbassncats]

@@Nick_Hunter2 truest statement I have heard all month.

[@HawkFishingandOutdoors]

Last week on my Canada trip, I snapped off a drop shot, a ned rig, and then a wacky rig in rapid succession, so I feel that snag pain! Still a fun day!!

[@reelfishing002]

What’s is your line up when using stick baits : like Carolina, Texas, wacky, and so on (top 3). Heck this year as the water level was getting low , I was using the Wacky with TWO O-rings but on a senko and after 2 fish ended up breaking right by the O-rings , but it was still good enough to mod what’s left to a Ned rig and poof more fish 😁. And I use Berkeley fire line crystal so I can line watch .

[@cucadare51]

Yep. Snags are a big part of my fishing day. It's not fishing if you don't snag at least a couple of things. Lol

[@bobbymiracle484]

That’s been my go to color been working great in the river

[@willjunkin732]

I love the 6thsense wacky worms they are my go to worm.

[@pdfahie]

My trips are exactly like this…except less fish catches 😩🤣 but I did catch a crappie the size of my #14 sneaker, pretty good for my little eastern pa lake 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@134rwa]

That's one of those days when you catch fish, and everything else too, haha.

[@gspotmxgilmore5080]

Im going at 6 pm tonight.. only bringing 2 back up wacky heads..( plus 3 other poles) go kawkeyes from Mt.pleasant

[@mrblueskynm3968]

Uhh...yeah! The last time I went fishing I lost all but one of my favorite lures due to snags. That's the way it goes. Now, if I could just find a store that stocks those lures. LOL! Hope you have a great day and thanks for the freeshin vid!

[@drewrewger4044]

Dang bubba. I know you don't like the wacky rig with the weed guard on them but it might of saved ya on this trip. The vmc wacky rigs with weed guard aren't bad at all. Gotta treat it like a top water bite tho. Let em take it a second longer and set the hook like any worm hook to compensate for that weed guard. I go 1o or 2o at the biggest with those. They have worked rather well.

[@Skydragon88]

Hey debo. I understand the feeling, I used a wackey rig earlier today and I missed 3 to 4 bits with a pumpkin and chartreuse from yum

[@chainemcintyre1484]

I can guess the next video... Do-it mold jig making haha! Sucks but it's part of the game 🤟

[@ecuingarilicea2882]

Literally just had a day like this on my last trip a couple days ago, minus actually catching any fish… caught some trees, lost a chatterbait, a swim jig and a couple worms… c’est la vie sometimes 🤷🏽‍♂️ haha

[@knightfishing]

Wacky rig and fluke are my go-to finesse tactics for fall transition. If they aren't on the moving bait, those will catch em all day

[@BassGeek]

Getting wacky with it!

5:30 the sigh of disappointment, I do that every time.

[@whiteyxj8367]

Definitely have more days like that then good days lol especially one I tie on some new baits lol
