Bank Fishing A Public Park With Ultralight Gear!

I honestly need to watch Parks & Rec all the way through. I have seen a ton of episodes but never beginning to end.

[@leadlacedanarchy9341]

These are the kind of places that always have a single giant in them. Depending it'll be a 3-4 pound mama bass almost always.

[@dtps_champion6016]

All blue gill are giants in my heart

[@JerryN856]

I thought those were pretty nice bass for a pond that size. Looked like a lot of fun. Thanks for the video.

[@FishAnything]

Heck yeah Jerry. Thank you :)

[@dandre1012]

That rod tap works like a charm 😂😂

[@FishAnything]

It’s a great way to put tiny little action in your jig to tempt them without moving it much

[@brianathern9154]

Great public park trip brother. I love the tapping the rod trick. Some of my buddies think I'm nuts until the fish get hooked. Boom 💥. Love the ultralight action. Blessings Ethan

[@FishAnything]

Heck yeah Brian! It works great - thank you as always :)

[@jboulderct]

Love little ponds like that!

Simple, yet fun!

[@JWoodcock]

Great channel man, you've been helping usher me straight towards the ultralight world as a brand new fisherman. Started on a fly rod this summer but picked up a UL spinning set up to help me learn the waters and fish a bit better alongside my fly casting practice. I've always loved finding the cool little niches in each hobby, and getting into ultralight fishing on tiny secluded pieces of water is totally up my alley 👍

[@FishAnything]

I am so happy to hear this! Hope you keep on catching lots of fish :)

[@jamesmadison6650]

Great video. Reminded me of growing up and fishing in the ponds at my house as a kid. Even the sounds that the bugs and frogs make all sound exactly the same and brought back good memories. Thx for the video.

[@FishAnything]

Love to hear it! Thanks for watching.

That was a busy hour, buddy! Nice work finding those bass!

[@FishAnything]

Thanks B! Always fun :)

I got an ultralight setup about a month ago and just put in 2 orders of mule fishing products. Can’t wait!!!! You inspired me to get into the ultralight game. Love your content and im sure I will love your products.

8:11 I did not know this trick for shooting your jig, learned something!

[@cpsullivan69]

That IS cool! There was an earlier video where Ethan was 'shooting docks' from his kayak, using that technique. I've been practicing it...have yet to get it right :) (have the bloody fingers to prove it!)

[@FishAnything]

It is honestly an incredibly useful technique. I will do more videos on it for sure! Always grab the bend of the hook, never in front of the point lol

[@InTheWoodsToday]

I thought this place looked familiar! By the end of the video i was convinced i knew where you were fishing. Great memories of attempting to catch fish while waiting for my brothers baseball practice to be done. Gosh the nostalgia is real on this one, great job!

[@FishAnything]

Haha that is epic! Yeah, it honestly has way more fish than expected!

[@InTheWoodsToday]

Well u caught more in this episode than i did in 3 baseball seasons lol

[@FounderOf4]

There was a lot more fish in that pond than I would have expected. Good way to find new places to fish Ethan

[@FishAnything]

Heck yeah this place was loaded for being such a small pond.

[@victoralbert1451]

The rod tapping trick works great.

[@FishAnything]

When the bait hovers in their face and I have a semi-slack line, I like to smack the rod and make it quiver ever so lightly. Fish love it!

How funny. For the pas week I've been stopping at the park (actually a private business park that allows the public to come in and fish barbless C&R only) that I usually stop at on my way home from work. All week I've been catching mostly little greengills.

[@FishAnything]

Love it! Glad you are catching fish :)

[@riverratfishing]

Awesome video Ethan. Man when you found the bass, the heat turned up. Great job.

[@FishAnything]

There were bass in other areas too, but it took me a few minutes to figure out the trick to make them eat :)

[@losingbigfish9473]

Really enjoyed the fishing video. I have a few public ponds just like that.

[@FishAnything]

It is always a good time getting out on a local pond and catching fish that you know have seen 1,000 lures. Makes me feel like I know what I am doing haha

[@noobpyrotech9991]

Glad you tried that nanobraid, I was looking at that line. Hope to hear more feedback on that. Also enjoyed seeing the high pressures pond fishing. I start out on ponds like that, and skunked a lot. Once I got into ultralight and finesse type fishing I started doing better.

[@FishAnything]

Ultralight is the key :) and yeah I am not huge on this line honestly. It is good, but I feel that the Spro Finesse Braid or Daiwa J Braid is still my preference.

[@gman69455]

@@FishAnything what is it about the spring and j braid that you like over the nano braid? I use to use that braid all the time but haven’t been able to find it as much lately.

[@chasintrout5531]

First I just want to say how great your videos and products are, I think you should take a look at a Daiwa iprimi xxul, it is a super light rod that will fully load in a 5 inch bluegill, the only thing is that it is mainly meant for micro hardbaits, thanks

[@FishAnything]

Thanks so much! Yeah, I have heard great things about that stick so it is only a matter of time :)

[@nathanmaynard131]

Ultralight fishing is quickly becoming one of my favorite methods to fish. One of my favorite things to do is use my little 4’6” and 500 size reel and a hair jig to scope out new locations. Work it exactly like a streamer

[@FishAnything]

Always a great time! Happy to hear you also enjoy it :)

[@yep.fishing]

I git that exact suffix nanobraid in 2,4,6 and 10. Same aqua cano colour (not good for visibility). The diameter is really low, if visibility isnt high on a priority list id say its pretty good.

[@FishAnything]

It is pretty good stuff, but I still prefer standard 8 strand braid

[@FishingWithChris_Tv]

I’ve got the nano braid in 6lb, I may have to give that 3lb a try for one of my ultralights.

[@FishAnything]

Honestly I don't think it is worth it. I definitely prefer a high quality, standard braid.

[@FishingWithChris_Tv]

@@FishAnything right. The nano stuff is kinda hard to get a good knot tied imo. I’ve been having good luck with daiwa x8 and 5lb power pro.

[@RoamingWhispers]

I haven’t fished a pond in forever. I should probably do that this winter when it’s too cold to wet wade.

[@Alsic2]

Great tap technique. It's so hard for me to catch fish that I can see but you're too good at it. Btw what braid to leader knots do you use. I love using braid but sometime I have random break without any force. I don't know is it because Spro line is too soft or not but I had some random break between lines. I use yucatan knot because it seems like it easiest to me. FG knot maybe over kill for ultralight fishing? Anyways thank you for great videos and products I love them. My bags and gear are full of stuffs you introduced and they work like a charm.🎣

[@FishAnything]

That little tap technique makes the bait dance ever so lightly in front of the fish's face. Can't resist it! And I just use a simple Double Uni Knot. 5 wraps braid, 4 wraps leader. Works like a charm!

[@logannewman4532]

That is 100% the kind of pond where I immediately grab my tenkara rod.

[@missiondiscover]

Yessir...I was thinking that too

[@TheTravelingFisherman]

Really great looking setup, seems hard to find the rod online

[@FishAnything]

Yeah I got it as a gift. It is a Japanese rod so it isn't available on most websites.

[@calebprice304]

How do you recommend the best way to fish the small mule minno

[@FishAnything]

Check out my website - it has some articles on how to fish the Mule Jig which will help. Otherwise, I really like to fish it on a tiny Mule Jig (1/80 or 1/64) and drift it ever so slowly in shallow water. The slow rate of fall paired with the tiny profile drives them nuts.

[@freddyj5845]

Do you like the j-braid more than the nano?

[@FishAnything]

Yea 100%. I’m not a big fan of the nano. It’s not bad but I prefer a normal braid.

[@TheUltralightLife]

That rod thump gets anything on a bed lol

[@FishAnything]

Just enough to make the lure shimmy lightly!

[@miguelbinha]

Punched the air everytime they took the bait 😂

[@isaacrigby]

what was that tapping method at the start of the vid?

[@FishAnything]

It is a way to bounce your jig suuuuuuper subtle by putting some vibration in your rod and into your line. I love it for finicky fish I am sight-fishing.

[@isaacrigby]

@@FishAnything Ha awesome! And another question, not sure if you have daiwa mag sealed reels, but if so, what do you do to oil them? Normal oil, or the magnetic oil that costs more then gold?

[@FishAnything]

Yamaha Blue Current III

[@snotshovelinfection305]

That thing weighs more than my 94 f-150... just had it on the scale today, 5,300 lbs

[@FishAnything]

Lol I am not sure what you are referring to but it works for me.

[@cpsullivan69]

Maybe old wives' tale...but I always thought the leader was supposed to be lighter/thinner than the main line. 3# nano is around .002in, Yo Zuri leader .009in...maybe with stuff this small it doesn't matter? (sure seems to be casting just fine in the video!) Probably more of a rule for larger stuff like 10# braid to 40# mono leader :)

[@FishAnything]

Honestly I prefer to do lighter lb test as a leader but you aren't going to find many lines lower in diameter than 3lb Sufix Nanobraid. It is okay to go a bit heavier as long as you aren't upsizing the diameter too terribly much.

[@joshbekah4755]

How do you like Yamaga blanks

[@FishAnything]

Excellent little ultralight! Super fun and lightweight.

[@catkiller1239]

since i got an ultralight set up i havent touched my bass fishing combos

[@FishAnything]

[@leadlacedanarchy9341]

Those Skinny Bass would be at least 2 pounds heavier if it was a 3-4 foot deeper pond.

[@FishAnything]

It’s a weird little pond but I was pleasantly surprised.

[@borreholic]

How I envy this type of pond fishing where you'll get multiple species wanting to bite artificial lures. It feels 95% of this type of shallow ponds in Sweden have 1-2 small pike in them, some shad/roach, maaybe some tiny perch, and nothing else. Light years away from all the bass/sunfish/crappie in coolness.

[@kunaiwithchain5278]

roach occupies a similar niche to sunfish right?

[@FishAnything]

I have never fished in Sweden, but that would be epic too. Either way, I am very lucky to have a tremendous amount of diversity here in Michigan, US.
