Using this video for reference for my next tournament. Just weighed in 16.63lbs on Barren River over the weekend on Saturday night.

[@Rouge_Wolf]

Was nice meeting you at Douglas MLF 2023. Love your boat shoes, by far the most comfortable. about to order 3rd pair.

[@bradleyrussell1973]

The “Indian Mound” is what we call the spot you pointed out for worming where Peters hits main lake at the State Park Marina. Popular, but productive spot!

[@bradleyrussell1973]

My theory on a 12” worm. They have the ability to draw strikes from farther away, because they are bigger and displace more water. I ONLY cast them on structure and deep brushpiles, and drag them over shallower dropoffs in early fall in lakes’ headwaters. I use 14” or even 16” in deep water, like drops on Ky Lake. For the same reason. I flip a 6” senko, 8” paddle tail, or 8” finesse wrom. No curls = less tangle on brush.

[@billstopinski2568]

cool stuff Jacob, i live in louisville and won my first derby in scags creek in 1991 on a gary klein weapon jig with an uncle josh spring lizard #900. love it

[@bradleyrussell1973]

That would be a good choice right now…log jams and mats everywhere!

[@johnnyweaver1300]

You do such a thorough presentation of baits each month, love your shop!🎣

[@jimjohnson1944]

Would love to get you on one of local lakes sometime, Wesly Strader has been here a few times with a friend of mine, it would be great to get the 2 of you together on Lake Dartmoor.

[@bradleyrussell1973]

Hail hail from Monroe Co, Ky!!! Barren River headwaters. Thanks for showcasing my local lake! We have a HUGE Duckweed bloom this year way up the river around Brown’s Ford, and above the bridges up Skaggs and Peter Creek. Never seen any here before. There are millions of fresh log jams and debris mats that cover acres in size, because of a recent flood upstream. The lake is only about 8” high. The upper lake and creek arms are already saturated with shad. I’m betting a good flippin’ stick or a punch rig will be the money maker until the lake begins to draw down in September. Planning on making a trip up? This is the second time I’ve heard you mention Barren this year. And you just so happened to have a Barren map laying out?? Lol. If you come, be careful, lots of debris from Walnut Creek upstream.

[@jasonperry5456]

Really? Barren has duckweed now? May have to check that out. Been mainly fishing Nolin lately but have always loved Barren.

[@ralowmalovics]

thanks wactch this video helped out alot second place 16.10 crankbait & worm

[@kevinbeaudean704]

Thanks Jacob. Congrats on the new line of baits. I will be working on the drop shot. I want that confidence you have in it.

[@Bankfishindude]

Great stuff man! Thanks as always! Tight lines on Saginaw 🎣

[@steveahle9921]

Outstanding presentation!

[@user-dt6ig8wc9m]

Thank you for the detailed tips. I will try to follow what you are teaching.

[@jimmcculloch5825]

Have you ever fished Barren? I had a house there for a few years in the late '80s and early '90s. Loved it.

[@brandonwoodcock4374]

That's my home lake. I live in glasgow lol

[@jimmcculloch5825]

@@brandonwoodcock4374 My house was on the lake near Lucas.

[@jimjohnson1944]

Thanks Jacob. Started using dropshot this summer and it is working well here in Tennessee on lakes in Crossville area. I have been catching them on a watermelon seed fluke nose hooked. Going to try your techniques. Great information for August baits.

[@FishingWithMikeJr]

needed this 🛎️ let’s try to catch some more tanks!

[@mrlrgmouth3692]

I really like the tips you gave on the drop shot setups .i like to use your small mouth setup here in san diego for largemouth bass. But if itngets snagged alot i will go to your largemouth weedless drop shot setup ..when there isnalot of snags.

[@jamesdobbs2930]

Thank you for the great information Jacob, sharing your knowledge is much appreciated! Keep rolling.

[@carlmiceli6874]

I fish the Lake of the Ozark. What is the best type of structure to fish this time of year?

[@rodcashman4793]

JW great information thanks for sharing 🎣 I really enjoy your videos can't wait to hear your new ones.

[@danbarrell6802]

I love you. Never stops. Thinking. Never stops trying all things

[@RealMitchRapp]

this time of year a stick an entire 5’ senko (any brand) right on a 1/2oz - 3/4oz football jig or a big ole mop jig. they smack that thing up

[@earniederboven5100]

Jacob always like seeing your videos ive learned alot andhave caught more fish....

[@chaunceydavis5290]

Great vid, “J-DUB”, I’m practicing with that technique you won Guntersville with for my BFL 2 day Super Tournament at Lake Lanier at the end of this month, I have a 4.5 spunk shad with a 1/4 oz head, really enjoy your vids, can’t wait to fish with you one day

[@JohnBrown-mh9ii]

Tremendous amount of great information. Thanks Jacob 👍

[@kennethsmith5494]

Thank You

[@tombell6408]

Thanks man!!

[@SamPirtle]

Love it! I just went to your tackle and gear links though to pick up some square bills and they are broken.

[@fishncoach8699]

I don't bend out the clip, leave it and just tie a couple half hitches like he did. That way the knot doesn't slip out but it will break and save the hook if hung.

[@ryanvarner6520]

Great rundown for August!

[@hungrypigsfarm2959]

thank you for the info you share iv been bass fishing my whole life and dream is to enter it one day with my daughter!. best rod i ever came across and baitcaster was in 2020 zaras abu garcia 7-1-1 and returned it cause the one eye on the rod was broken and had no ideal i could have bought eyes and fixed it i miss that rod and baitcaster

[@tyson457]

I own 3 of your duckett rods and they are the best I have ever used. I was wondering do u use a fluorocarbon leader on your setups or straight braid? Much love and respect brother.

[@earniederboven5100]

Jacob what would you throw in a dirty/murky ponds this time of year? Thanks

[@jamesbarron1202]

I’d gladly take 90 degrees. 106 here in Texas and I don’t run AC, ever, because I work outside and don’t want to get accustomed to it. We’re at 90 before 10 am.

[@johnwhitlock9705]

I do seem to have a lot more control with my right hand versus my right foot. Off the subject, speak to the fact that inflatable life "preservers" class3 are to be worn at all times while in the boat on the water. Read instructions.

[@danielmeganhauger2414]

My son and I had our best day of fishing ever I caught 19 ranging from 2.5lbs-5 lbs and my son caught 11 none of them under 2lbs I can't believe some people stop fishing when the dog days are amongst us

[@briannichols9680]

love the accent buzzbait great sound, but the blades do wear out

[@Silver_X_117]

Doing some fishing in the great lakes ??

[@jerrymarshall2095]

Nice work Jacob

[@ZackHaynie]

In OK, found a lot up in 6ft of water on some trees, not many bites and no fish. 105° rn anyway

[@terranceleonard]

Hey jacobo i am a new subscriber to your channel

[@carriediehl-qb2pl]

What brand 10inch worm do you prefer

[@gregkrukemeier2003]

AOY, Three in a row coming soon. Fear the Wheeler. LOL

[@Top_Pods_Daily]

The Saginaw Bay is home for me, i hope you make some youtube content when you are here so i can learn something!

[@bradmcdaniel9675]

Big, big fan - go get that AOY!!!

[@tonyparsley641]

You have a bag of my plastics. I wish u would use them and let me know how it works for you Tony’s soft plastic baits

[@8573mike]

Awesome!

[@coreydirie9115]

When is crush city going to be out in store

[@jasonmausteller2488]

Can you go over the rods your using for each bait?

[@rustyyarbrough5156]

Would this pattern of moving to the back of creeks be different on smaller bodies of water? Say like a 2000 acre reservoir.

[@WheelerFishing]

Not really, they would just be in the actual creek that feeds it or the flat adjacent to the creek

[@discgolfwithelijah]

What is the red and white fishing rod using?

[@chrishayes4939]

You said you use a nanno braid for drop shots... you don't use fluorocarbon? I just wanna make sure.. I have trouble with fluorocarbon wind knotting on me....

[@jeramyolson3432]

That's what I want to know

[@joshuagreene9976]

Boo on your for bringing creekz into the light lol

[@charlesmayberry7034]

Slow phone it sept middle of month sorry I’m in fall baits

[@brianedgeman7549]

I think you should choose violence on this last event. Get er done🎉

[@tonyparsley641]

I make them plastics

[@mistertwister1816]

Taking 2 years to come up with theses lures sounds like lots of work. How much of that time was dedicated to giving them names? Congratulations on getting the job done.

[@ryansully4250]

Can I come Sprayfoam your shop?

[@brianezell557]

Word of the day IZ ? DISTORTED 😅

[@curtiscattau5278]

My guy needs to lay off the Yayo for a bit.

[@clarenceboddiker9559]

yAyO reeeee

[@jacobyfuller4228]

First

[@craighang3562]

I o in no no P No ja Olivia abngg hi M ok

[@ericries5716]

Man…I’m a big fan. Always have been. But that bronco bug has me disappointed …why didn’t you guys just do a collab with osp? Help me feel better about it. It certainly looks like a straight up knockoff of the dolive beaver.

[@Daiwa_Is_King]

Jacob wheeler the founder of crush city knockoffs 😂 stop stealing jdm baits and come up with your own ideas.

[@timcarter9146]

Love the video my guy

[@mattklein2656]

If wheeler says the thread u better thread
