Adapting to weather has been an area I’ve worked on for years. Through my mistakes I’ve learned a lot about how fish behave when weather changes our lakes and rivers. I’m hosting a class strictly dedicated to how you can adapt to weather for more successful fishing trips. These classes are live so I’ll be able to chat back and forth with you and answer your questions on the spot. Here’s the link to join if you feel like this is an area that you can improve in your fishing. ⭐️ sufschool.com/

Your kids will look back on these days and smile ear to ear showing their kids how to fish

[@cameronmanly2441]

The most fun fishing I have ever had was when I was young with my dad fishing out of a 14 foot 1976 sears John boat we worked on together. Walmart spinning rods, learned how to bass and crappie fish out of that boat, to this day it was still my favorite boat from the memories alone and it was very cheap, still I think we have caught more fish combined out of that old boat than my bass boat today. You are definitely my favorite, stick to your roots and not forget where you came from, keeping things simple that any of us working guys can enjoy. Thanks again B. Lat

[@bjodaddyo]

It costs a lot more to fish nowadays because the fishing industry get people to believe that you need certain gear and tackle to catch the biguns that they portray on ads and people, myself included, equate better gear catches better fish. So the saying goes that some gear and tackle catches more fishermen than fish.

[@anthonyminggia6794]

Exactly!!

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

The industry caters to the trends of the buyers.

[@S2pidMedia]

You don't need to spend a bunch. But I will say this... The difference in quality of a budget reel compared to a 100 dollar reel and a 300 dollar reel is extremely noticeable. I have a curado dc, a kestrel elite, and a revo rocket, and the quality of those reels can't be denied. I personally don't like to spend less than 100 on a reel because they just don't feel as good to use, but I do still have a bunch of budget set ups that I accumulated over the years, and they still work fine, they just don't feel as nice performance wise. Mostly I let the kids and people I teach to fish use them because if they break something, I'm not losing much.

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

@@S2pidMedia you got that right!!! Reels and fishing line is this easiest to tell the difference in.

[@S2pidMedia]

@@BrianLatimerFishing right. And on the flip side, rod technology has become so good, that a relatively inexpensive rod performs like a high end rod from 10-15 years ago. And you can bargain shop so easily. I pick up nice tackle on the cheap whenever companies decide to give the same old model a new look. 60% off a 100 dollar reel or rod? I'll take 2! 🤣🤣

[@DanielBoone337]

I couldn't agree more man... I have really nice things now but I grew up with next to no money fishing the same kind of way you mentioned. I worked up to what I have now but at the end of the day if I lost my big boat and all my "fancy" stuff I can go back to paper maps an aluminum boat with a flasher graph and 1 rod and reel because that would get me back on the water and doing something I've loved to do since I was a kid.

You don't need to drop $$$ on rods/reels/bait. I went to lake Toho with a guide service. The weather was just too nasty to drag my boat to FL.

Thank you for this... My best club tournament last year, I caught my bag on 1 bait (Rapala OG Slim). I did rotate through a few (spinner bait, shakey head, buzzbait, DD Crankbait, Rattle Trap, Carolina rig) before I figured out what the fish wanted. I fish as a co-angler. I out fished my boater fishing behind him that day. Probably caught 5 limits that day, crazy...🍺🎣 Fishing with in my means...

[@CobyMiller-xc1rz]

Thanks for all your videos! I bought my first combo in 35 years last spring. Returned to fishing after all that time. It was an Abu Garcia black max from Walmart, about $60. Better than anything I’ve ever used before and caught a bunch of 1 to 3 pound bass. So I’m totally hooked. I gave the combo to my nephew this summer and now I have 4 setups in the $150 to $250 range including the BLat sick stick. I’ve bought lots of baits and tackle and I’m looking forward to fishing and learning more this coming season. I definitely have enough to fish with and need to “pump the brakes “ on buying more. Thanks for your wisdom and encouragement Brian.

[@S2pidMedia]

I expect prices on stuff to start coming down. Covid spiked prices way up, but a lot of the people who took up fishing as a pandemic pastime will go back to their old lives I think. This should make prices correct, hopefully. If not, my kids won't get any college fund, they'll just get a couple hundred pounds of soft plastics each.

[@DFWdarin]

I agree. I spend money nowadays but I used to go bass fishing with one pack of hooks and one pack of worms. Simple

[@thesonorandesertangler]

I have an entire wire rack full of tackle 😂 I basically buy in bulk when the sales are good. I know what I like to use and what I'm running low on. My son still likes to fish with live worms, so I'll grab that with whatever miscellaneous hooks or weights that I'm missing for a specific trip the day before. So, it's like $10 here and there. I have 4 storage totes of soft plastics and a ton of plano boxes for all my other baits. Once you know how you like to fish it's pretty easy to put together a budget for the year if you track your spending. Black Friday and Independence Day sales are usually the best times to do buy in bulk.

[@jerodjmoore]

I agree with you-it’s an investment that can have many different set budgets and always able to be upgraded, but I’m lucky to pick up posts of stuff as a “fishing nerd” and too much stuff complicates it at times. A goal this year is to limit what I go out with-will I be like, “awwww shi$t I shoulda brought BLANK…?” Sure, but that’s what makes it a sport where learning and experience is key.

[@LivingLifeOurWay365]

I'd say if you have $300 to just get into the sport of fishing as a new angler you can definitly get everything you need to start. From a handful of baits/lures to rod/reel/line. And then maybe what $1000 if you get yourself a cheap kayak, fishing bag/box(s), rod/reel/line and then your golden. Sure it seems like alot but right as a beginner your looking at that and your like I can't afford that. Believe me when I say if you buy everything but a kayak/boat of some kind and save to get it at entry you can afford to buy a kayak on cheaper end after a month or two. If it's what your really wanting to do you will end up doing it and buying one. So go and do it at the beginning. Get all of it in beginning and then if you don't like fishing then you have a kayak. Use it for leisure. And you won't regret it even if it's a SUP.

[@rileymcgill9893]

Gotta say this perspective is not true the majority of the time. Getting a descent aluminum bass boat WAS 8-10 thousand bucks about 10 years ago. Comparing bass fishing cost to 10 or 15 years ago is flawed in and of itself. I assume that's the time period you're speaking of. It used to be cheap to start fishing and i understand where you are coming from. Buying a boat and lures is far more expensive than when you came up and when i came up. Im 32, things have changed in 10 years. This stuff aint cheap no more

A bag of worms cost 5 bucks. Please explain more so I can understand. I’m interested to hear how you know what I’m connected to.

@@BrianLatimerFishing That was a bad choice of words from me. You are correct that at its core, it can be cheap & easy to start fishing. My issues are with the increasing costs of decent equipment Rods, Reels, Hard Baits, Electronics, Boat supplies, etc:. Keep the great videos coming, I always learn something from them.

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

@@SOAngler I just did a video with a 50$ combo. Did you see that? The ROD and the reel!!! That’s pretty cheap. I can’t remember a time that equipment was that affordable.

[@SOAngler]

@@BrianLatimerFishing I definitely watched it. I watch all you stuff. Again I'm a fan. I really liked the video of you and your boys comparing a $500 combo to a cheaper one. great stuff.

[@johnm2617]

😮 You can catch fish with cheap rods and reels < and cheaper baits < matt Robertson uses ugly sticks !

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

Matt is on a different level.

Bass fishing is funny like that. Pros use 100k worth of gear to catch 3lb fish. lol

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

What’s funny is people that don’t fish tournaments think 3 pound fish are small!!😆

[@paullowell3342]

@@BrianLatimerFishing in a tournament a 3lb is great. My pb is only 5lbs so I get it. In a tournament that would make your day. I’m just saying bass are pretty small compared to other fish. Then again trout fishermen lose their minds anything over a lb. I love fishing. So many things to do

[@MrYelporgobble]

Baits is to ridiculous expensive specially hard baits

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

Interesting. What are you using that is so expensive? what is a ideal cost for you?

[@MrYelporgobble]

@@BrianLatimerFishing personally and this my opinion $5to$6 for a hard is the ideal price , hooks have gotten expensive, lead weights have even gone way up yes I still use lead cause I will never pay the price of tungsten, I still use some old Berkeley cherry wood rods and catch a lot of fish on I do have some more quality rods . But I know price of everything has went up thanks to government and that’s pretty much out of our hands. But I agree on somewhat of what you say in this video on the price of stuff . Yup soft plastics are cheap for this day and time but hard baits is not.

[@MrYelporgobble]

And I do understand u can take $20 and catch fish I’m not knocking that so don’t think I am. But in reality like I was growing up and I’m sure you was too along with everybody else when we see a pro advertising a bait and the wow of the advertisement oh we gotta go out and get it. Like when terminator spinner bait first came out it cost $10 back then and that was a lot of money for a spinner bait . But we get caught up in the wows in fishing. Best of luck this year and good fishing to you my friend.

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

@@MrYelporgobble that topwater is 9 bucks. They have a ton of crankbaits for the same price on my website shopblat.com. There’s some really affordable tackle that’s good stuff for you to use

[@DatGuy960]

Sorry, Dawg, that is not, in fact, true. It is very expensive now and almost out of reach for most people. I couldn't disagree with you more.

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

I’m listening. Explain. You certainly don’t owe me a agreement.

[@michaelloucks4448]

Brian are you nuts bro bass fishing is more expensive than ever. I'm sorry Brian but bass fishing is getting out of control.

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

You set the boundaries on how much it cost YOU.
