Battling Big Wiper Schools in a Tiny Boat (Wiper and White Bass Feeding Frenzy)

I dropped my tiny boat into a lake full of hungry, frenzied wipers. The result was non-stop drag peeling, boat towing action. It was a blast.

The boat at about 13:00 was a walleye boat. We have those here, too. They seem to have their own rules and moral codes that allow them to do whatever they want. Which is why it was awesome to not only watch you crush wipers, but nail some nice walleye, too. Keep it up!

[@BackroadsAngling]

I think the guy in the boat would argue that I am fishing near the passage way so he has every right to go through. It's true but I think common respect between anglers would suggest that if someone is sitting on a big school of fish maybe you should pause for a second and wait for things to die down. Or turn on the trolling motor at least instead of the 200hp. Thanks for watching!

[@DarrinOchsner]

I was wondering during your last video if the next one would be at the lake with your boat. Always nice to seem some more wiper & white bass action.👍

[@BackroadsAngling]

Ya, I think I ended off the last video watching fish out in the middle that I couldn't reach. I learned my lesson that I needed the boat so I could follow them wherever they go. Thanks!

[@DwightPerkins-i7t]

If you had been in a yak you would have gotten a tow by that first one Lol😎

[@DpuckFishingandOutdoors]

Those wipers were taking for a ride! Thats pretty cool to see them boil that water up. Great catches.

[@BackroadsAngling]

If you get one of the bigger ones they will almost make you feel like you are getting towed by another boat. It's quite a shot of adrenaline when they start boiling that's for sure. Thank you!

[@timjohns191]

This has rejuvenated me in 100 degree drought weather here in south Texas, got some new ideas, great video

[@BackroadsAngling]

I hope you get some rain. We have been dry for a few years but this year it has really turned around! Thanks!

[@trophyarmorfishingadventur9194]

Love the video!! Will need to put wiper fishing on the bucket list!!

[@BackroadsAngling]

Thanks! Definitely put them on the list! They are a blast!

[@FishingKit]

That boat was def a bass hole but that was one heck of a day. Looks like the wipers have been treating you pretty good too

[@BackroadsAngling]

It's a good thing I had a small fish on the line because if it had been a wiper and made a run it would have gone right under the guys boat. A good reason not to fish crowded spots on the weekend! Wipers have been biting pretty good. Not as fire as what you're seeing but still pretty good.

[@timjohns191]

This is some badass, sorry for that but the best expletive for it, action. Days are so rare and I am so envious. And thanks

[@BackroadsAngling]

You're right it is rare to see them so fired up. I just try to enjoy it as much as I can when it happens because I don't know when I'll see it again! Thanks!

[@huntersfare]

That has got to be a blast.

[@BackroadsAngling]

Yes it is. I highly recommend it.

[@AGdaRiverRat]

Epic vid bro 💪

[@BackroadsAngling]

Thanks!

[@KaisFishing]

Great video as usual! You really have a knack for finding some big wipers! Some nice walleye too! Have you ever caught a muskie chasing shad?

[@BackroadsAngling]

Thanks, I have plenty of very average days at these spots too. Occasionally I get lucky and stumble onto some good bites. I've never actually seen a muskie mixing in and chasing shad although I wouldn't be surprised if they did on occasion.

[@georgelee795]

Is it a better morning bite or evening bite for wipers and white bass?

[@BackroadsAngling]

It's really random. As we go into the later part of the summer I would say evenings are best but could you run into a big feeding frenzy in the morning or even in the middle of the day? Yes, it's always possible.

[@mosey7693]

i need to go here in the mornings, is there any catfish?

[@BackroadsAngling]

@@mosey7693 yes this lake has plenty of catfish

[@sriket87]

Yeet!🎣🔥

[@BrianSkitt-y4k]

👍✌️ Soldier out on the water early morning fishing no matter if it's for wipers small heads large heads the raw food right??? Keep up the good work Soldier✌️👍

[@BackroadsAngling]

Thanks!

[@jgs1703]

How far down are you keeping the swimbait? I was consistently hitting 2 to 3 lb bass out there for a while recently in that area.

[@BackroadsAngling]

When they are boiling like this I keep it within 2-3 feet of the surface. There are a lot of largemouth in this area.

[@TULUSRECORD]

Good

[@BackroadsAngling]

Thank you!

[@timjohns191]

Would have loved to see the one 13 min in

[@BackroadsAngling]

Yes, that one and the next one after that. Both seemed like really good fish. I had a lot of fish come off on this day unfortunately.

[@timjohns191]

First couple seconds were damn exciting, gonna stay for more

[@BackroadsAngling]

These fish were giving me a serious drag test for sure!

[@EngineeringHooksets]

Really cool seeing you catch all those fish on my lures! I bet if you tried an A rig or a double jig rig (looks like 3 hooks legal in Iowa) you could get some multi-fish casts

[@BackroadsAngling]

The EFH lures have been working really well for the wipers this year. The size and color is a perfect match the hatch lure for these shad. The A-rig would be interesting when they are schooled up like this. I will try it next time!

[@authiennhat]

Is this at rathbun

[@barrymeyer5001]

I like watching you fish with your boat if that was me I probably would come back with less equipment than I started with that is exciting fishing great job and I appreciate you telling what your bait is and how you fish it

[@BackroadsAngling]

Sometimes I come back with less equipment too. This boat is super portable and efficient but the one drawback is the lack of storage space. I tend to drop pliers and lures over the side from time to time. Having the water right below you means no second chances on anything you fumble. Thanks for watching!
