BANK fishing SAGUARO LAKE AZ

The other bank fishing episodes that we have done at Canyon Lake and at the Salt river have been well received by everyone. Thanks so much for watching them. Because the other episodes were so popular I decided to give the Bank at Saguaro lake a try too. The largemouth were being shy that day but we were able to have a ton of fun catching a bunch of yellow bass and what seemed to be an endless amount of bluegill. It was a ton of fun and I hope you find it useful and fun to watch too. As always remember to GET OUT AND LIVE!

I'm Jake and ever since I was a tiny kid I have been OBSESSED with fishing. The Goal of this channel is to take you along on my fishing adventures both good and bad and inspire you to "GET OUT AND LIVE ", Which is what the G-O-A-L Fishing stands for. Being outdoors and pursuing fish, however that looks, has always been fulfilling and life giving to me and I hope to share a little of that with you.

Shore fishing videos are always appreciated.

@Sparrow415 to BKK thanks for the feedback. I’ll try to make sure to include them more often.

[@jed1166]

Suggestion: double the time you take to land a yellow, let ‘em tire a bit. If they are a little worn out, they won’t have as much energy to stab you with their gill plates… works for me.

[@thesonorandesertangler]

Taking my kids fishing this weekend. Thanks for the on the water insight.

[@shariboylan2004]

Great place to bank fish with the kids!

[@J0Gu7]

The master on yellows! Nice.

[@GOALFishing]

@Caught it Outdoors Thanks! I sure do love catching them.

[@73suburban]

That Fall bite is 🔥🔥

[@allanCvillanueva]

Awesome, defiantly need to take my kids out there!

[@GOALFishing]

@allanCvillanueva it’s a lot of fun for kids. Bobber fishing for bluegill is an easy way to get kids hooked on fishing.

[@jordunce]

i swear the yellows flock to you hahaha. i'm jelly. "i caught all of the yellows" - jake. no wonder i can't catch any lol, you caught them all!

[@GOALFishing]

@Jordo Fishing maybe I stink just right for them to come to me😂. I just love fishing for them, they’re a lot of fun.

[@ericbonofacio4695]

Right I tried his yellow spot on canyon, same lures and I got all gills and large mouths smh

[@karif3076]

Fun place for the kids!

[@GOALFishing]

Sure is!

[@davidsena1629]

Nice video that answers my question about if I can catch yellows with a cast master. Good job 👍🏼...

[@GOALFishing]

@David Sena thanks. They did a pretty good job. I wasn’t out on top of them jigging so a cast master is a good option to cast out and slowly work back.

[@ericbonofacio4695]

@@GOALFishing Next time you go in the yak and are jigging again please do the Cabela's mean eye blade again mix in some kastmasters. Also, check out the new rapala blade baits way cool, they look like the Cabela's but more expensive and the "rapala jigging rap" never tried it but it's for vertical

[@GOALFishing]

@Eric Bonofacio I will check them out for sure. I think I might have to attempt the fill the cooler challenge again and have a few different lures tied on to target them. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@davidsena1629]

@@GOALFishing hey thanks man that’s something I’m gonna try next time. Tight lines good luck out there ✊🏼👍🏼

[@trevor3659]

Love the videos brotha. What size kastmaster are you throwing? And where do you park to bank fish at Saguaro lake?

[@user-tj4ig5tq1y]

Where were you on the shore? Is this a current video? 8/2023?

[@jakemartin1999]

Idk why but I laughed when you said you didn't have any lures to show because you lost them all😂. It's so true tho, it happens 🤙🎣

[@GOALFishing]

Jake Martin Especially when jigging for yellows in the rocks.

[@jakemartin1999]

Do you grass carp fish much?

[@GOALFishing]

@@jakemartin1999 no I haven’t done much but I know they get huge.

[@jakemartin1999]

If you ever want to I have some spots to catch some true giants. Just hit me up.

[@jakemartin1999]

Love the videos by the way. You are inspiring people to get out and live😁🤙

[@highwayman1224]

I've been watching your videos for a few days now and checked out the Salt River but it's really low. Went to saguaro lake yesterday to check it out and I think I'm going to try fishing off the dock tomorrow. All you need is a tonto pass I hope to fish there....I'm going to try to get some bluegill for catfish and I'll try corn and see if I can get some carp.

[@GOALFishing]

@martin waller you need the Tonto pass for parking but you also need a state fishing license if you don’t have one already.

[@highwayman1224]

@@GOALFishing thanks, I do have the state license.

[@GOALFishing]

@@highwayman1224 awesome! You should be good to go.

[@Bass_Bandit0]

Do yellow bass bite in the fall?

[@jeffcollins1172]

I’ve never fished Saguaro, but would like to. I like the bank fishing but my mode of fishing usually is float tube. I also think like you in that I like fishing for bass but I also like catching fish; I’d love to get into yellows or bluegill like this. Where would be a good launch with a float tube to start at Saguaro. Today is March 16, is it a good time for yellows and bluegill? I also like to fly fish but it seems these guys may hang out too deep?

[@GOALFishing]

Jeff Collins butcher jones would be the best with a float tube. I’ve had the most luck in summer with the yellows but I’m expecting the bite to start up soon.

[@yvonneandjohn3979]

Nice catches! We are in AZ looking for a fishing & camping spots, we found a really nice one at horseshoe lake dispersed camping site. Contemplating on going to Saguaro or Canyon lake next not sure, what would you recommend?

[@GOALFishing]

Yvonne and John both those lakes can be tough until the water temp really warms up. Roosevelt, Bartlett, and the Lower Salt River are some of my preferred places this time of year.

[@yvonneandjohn3979]

@@GOALFishing Thank you for the advice, didn't know Lower Salt River had campgrounds so we can look into that!

[@GOALFishing]

@@yvonneandjohn3979 coons bluff recreation site you can camp at.

[@yvonneandjohn3979]

@@GOALFishing Yea, we just looked it up unfortunately they don't allow overnight camping on weekdays.

[@jimmyvespegolf3834]

Great video. Whereabouts exactly are you at on the shore? I stopped by Butcher Jones rec area but the water was very shallow. New to the channel and fishing AZ, having grown up fishing the shores of Lake Erie as a child.

[@GOALFishing]

This was the rocky banks just past the boat ramps.

[@rb9042]

It’s March, are the Yellows biting around this tune from the bank? I’m in Arizona for two more days! How do you work the kastmaster bait you were using. What was the weight on it?

[@GOALFishing]

@Rick they might be moving up but the water temp is still a little on the cold side. I haven’t tried yet this year so I don’t know if they’re close to the bank yet. The cast master is usually 1/8oz and I cast it out, let it sink to the bottom then lift my rod tip up and let it fall slowly then pick up the slack and lift and let fall. Rinse and repeat 😂

[@rickyrozay234]

Do you think you could catch them on a lipless crank?

[@GOALFishing]

@glenn sumter yes I have done it before but if you want to get more numbers you want to go super small.

[@masondavis1231]

What weight is the cast master? I wanna go chase these in my boat I just got!

[@GOALFishing]

@Mason Davis 1/8 and 1/4 have worked well for me.

[@euphofatir]

Any crappie?

[@Justanotherhondaboy]

So saguaro isn’t a good place for bass?

[@GOALFishing]

@Hypnotix Jose there are some monster bass in saguaro! They are pretty tough to catch from shore. Some of the best spots are up a ways on the lake. It’s a long way if you’re in a kayak, but if you have a boat with a fish finder and maps it’s a lot easier to get to some good spots. Every day is a puzzle that has to be pieced together. You have to find the fish and find out what they want that day.

[@Justanotherhondaboy]

@@GOALFishing alrighty Thankyou for the comment !

[@shaunvergara4992]

Bring a hook sharpener with you. Those stock hooks are garbage and don't hold a sharp point long.

[@jessesardina3260]

Why am I wasting time in the yak hahaha

[@GOALFishing]

@Jesse Sardina I know right? The yak sure is nice to have though.
