Have fished for years as a non-boater is what we called it, drew boater out of one hat, non-boater out of another hat. Totally agree with everything that was said, it’s tough, be prepared and have the mindset that you are going to have a good time, help as much as possible, and enjoy your day, will help tremendously with your fish catching .

This is great stuff man. I have had coanglers that was afraid to ask me to go to the bathroom. Also learn to read the temperament of the boat owner, some talk,some dont, some joke around and some dont. You see him getting ready to move you get ready to move. Everyone listen to Brad he is dead on in what he is saying. Another great topic!

It’s definitely scary flying down the lake at 70 mph in the fog with a stranger. There’s been a few times I’ve wanted to ask the boater to pull over and let me out on the bank... Lots of these lakes have stumps and trees that aren’t exposed and my worst fear is getting matched with the guy that’s starting at his GPS units the whole time during a run

I don't tournament fish but this same approach I take when getting invited onto anyone's boat. I usually try to pay for gas, launch fee and have BBQ sandwiches for lunch in a small cooler. I consider it a blessing to just have the opportunity to fish from a deck of a boat and enjoy the day on the lake. Catching a fish is just bonus.

ONE OF THE BEST videos I've seen on co-anglers. Bradley i fished the Central Opens for 4 years as a co-angler and it was quite the experience. Every scenario you mentioned i had happen. I drew Kelly Jordan at Grand and he was crowding me up next to the bank to wear i couldn't cast. I waited until he cast then made a 45 degree cast and he stopped the boat and said that breaking his concentration. We had a few words then went back to fishing, and had a good day. I ended up back at where he and Timmy Horton was staying and drinking a cold beer with them. Another time on the Red River in Louisiana Terry Butcher was running rip rap so I decided to put a heavier weight on my brush hog ,chucked it out of the back and started popping it out of the rocks and caught my limit in a short time. 50 dollars is what I always gave for gas. I usually tried to help hitch the boat up, help with tie downs, or whatever it took to make it easier on the owner. I seen you at the tournaments but had the pleasure of drawing out with you. I'm a 59 year old angler from Nowata, OK and I hope to get to fishing the Opens. Hope to see you there. Good luck on the upcoming season.

I fished in the back of Dee Thomas’s boat for eight years. I was his team partner but he gave me nothing, in fact he would tighten up even more if I started catching fish. I learned more than anyone can imagine. Those fish back there 100 feet that might have been spooked usually move up pretty quickly. It’s an art and a grind, that you for addressing all these issues!

One of the best Co-Anglers Gary Haraguchi and my dad are friends and sometimes practice for tournaments together. After a tournament on Oneida Lake Gary said his guy had 0 idea what he was doing because the whole day he set his boat in the middle of choked up grass on the very top of a shoal and Gary managed to fill his 3 fish limit and cash a check. That’s good Co-Angling.

What you described in this video is the exact approach I have learned to take as a coangler, and it is how I wish more coanglers acted when I fish as a boater. Great video. I have sent it to a buddy who is fishing his first BFL as a co because it reinforces everything I have tried to teach him about fishing from the back of the boat.

I stumbled across this one last night, well done sir. I fished the Cowboy division of the BFL's for two years as a co, met some great people, even got asked how long I'd been doing it in my first two! I treat my boater and his boat how I want to be treated, never had an issue. I switched over to the front of the boat for a couple of years, took a year off and am back as a co this year. I won't share my horror stories of a couple of co's I had while running my boat! (Well one anyway, don't sit back there and tell me half the day we should go somewhere else, true story.) I always give them gas money first thing in the morning, bring them a coffee and a biscuit if they'd like. I do ask them what they plan to do, but I am ready to go where ever. If I get hung up fishing a worm, I break it off and re-tie. I don't fish many treble hook baits, I can do well with plastics. And one thing you did not cover, netting the fish. I always ask how they want me to net their fish, I was surprised that there were different thoughts on this. Good luck to you and thanks again for sharing.

This is a great video. I've not had a bad experience yet with my boater. I always make it a point to be friendly with the boater because that's my mentality, I just think it makes for a good day on the water, whether I catch a fish or not. I wait until the end of the day to settle on an offer for gas. Ninety percent of the time the boaters I've had absolutely refuses any money for gas. But I will say this, if my boater treats me like a piece of crap then there is no offer for gas.

Dang Bradley, as a co-angler from back in the day you knocked this one out of the ballpark. I fished Central Pro-Am (Ernie Dougherty days), Old Everstarts, Bassmaster Elite's (when they still allowed Co-Anglers) and FLW Tours (again when they allowed Co-Anglers) all out of the back of the boat. You could not have made a better video, period. The Co-Angler has to change his mind set to a different way of thinking. As to what boater/pro I wanted to draw... the older salty gentleman that has been fishing forever but wasn't as aggressive as the young studs 👌. Everything you said was spot on!

I once drew a legend Marshal Deacons on Guntersville and was so excited. My buddies had fished with Randal Tharp in the past so they would always go talk with him and he was always with Marshal. He told me he wasn't on anything so we were just going fishing. That morning he said it would be tough on me at first because he was going to be on the riprap bank like you said. it was early February and freezing. I drug a Carolina rig out deep and just watched him and looked for how it did things. I look at it as a $150 guided trip with a chance for prizes. He really wasn't on them but I learned a ton, because he was checking a lot of spots and trying different baits. I didn't weigh in a fish that day but would not have traded my seat for another. He explained a lot of what he was doing and told me about a lot of his past tournaments there.

Great video with a lot of truth. The one thing I would challenge is the conversation about how the pro intends to fish. For the most part, yes, be prepared for everything but for example, if we are on Rayburn and the pro says we are fishing brush piles offshore all day, I'm leaving my punching rod with 65lb braid at the hotel. Don't expect a lot of information from the pro as Bradley points out but I think it's a fair question of deep or shallow or both because that can impact what you put in the boat the next day and how you mentally prepare for your approach to get bit.

This is hands down the best video I have ever seen for co-anglers. As a boater, I have won a couple of tournaments and several top 10s, but I have never once gotten a check as a co-angler and I have tried it many times. It seems like my co-angling experiences have just been nightmares one after another, but honestly I have to say I always learn a lot! One thing you never mentioned- and this happened to me and Ill never forget it- I was in a BFL on the Potomac, and in the 1st 10 minutes I hooked a really solid fish on a senko- At the time I thought it was like a 2 pounder. My boater immediately offered to net the fish, and I was like "Nah, Ill just swing him in the boat..." but when I got that fish to the side of the boat I saw it was every bit of 5 pounds. I very stupidly still tried to swing it in the boat, I just totally choked... My flourocarbon snapped and that fish just swam away. The boater said "Dang! I wish I had had that one! She was a hawg!" So I would say this- when in doubt, if your boater offers to net a fish- get them to net the fish!!!! It wont hurt, especially if you aren't going to get many bites all day- You need to make them count! Thanks for a great video- You can tell when someone has real experience!

Glenn May of bass resource won events from The back of the boat w better casting skills. This helped me develop a good sense of possibility, as a non boater,I am there to contribute, to the boater,and that included a small gearbag containing 3 3700 sized boxes,5 rods or less for my co angler rod pocket,and drinking water,and snacks that we shared the boat cooler for. I would drop my rod and grab the net when the boater would hookup. We would communicate where he was needing the help,and id scoop the fish add the tag,right down the weight,and go right back to fishing .this saved time writing down weights to color coded tags,so culling up was simple and efficient.

Ask if you can turn the console sonar to 2D, big help in back knowing depth, structure or any marks ( have your drop shot ready for a mark), know how to remove rear running light, don’t spend first couple hours trying to fish around light pole

Great tips! I really liked the tip about grabbing ahold to something to keep yourself in the boat. A lot of guys seriously do take sitting in a boat choppin down the lake for granted. The other tip I really really liked was "you are not competing with the guy in the front of the boat". This tip alone would be one that all co's should focus on, because whenever you do encounter those tough situations 9 times out of 10 other co's are dealing with the same thing.

This is great advice. I've fished as a co-angler for the last 5 years and wish I understood some of the things you mentioned when I started out. As far as running in the fog, I recently fished a tournament where a guy beached a boat on the rocks in the fog after takeoff. Takeoff was delayed due to fog, the fog eventually lifted where we were at but once you got out to the main lake it was so thick you couldn't see the trolling motor. The boater in this case slowed down to avoid running off course and another boat came within a rod-length of hitting him which spun him around and ended up on shore. Luckily nobody got hurt, but it could have ended up much worse.

And would definitely welcome your opinion on what Co Anglers can do to be effective, stay out of the pros way, and have a good experience. Based on your video, I think I’m approaching this the right way. Be there to learn and soak it all up. But, as you said, read the water and do your own thing. Thanks! This is a great topic.

Good luck. I agree with everything he said. One additional point of importance that he didn't really touch on is adaptability. Be prepared for anything. Just because your boater says he's going to one thing, or that he's been catching them by doing x,y,and z doesn't mean that that is how the day will pan out. Conditions can change literally overnight.

Thank you. I'm always in the back of the boat. I kayak fish but often go with friends in their boat. In addition to my gear I also take a small cooler with water and cookies to share. I make sure I don't intrude on his space. I like you videos and I subscribed.

Very beneficial and informative video even if you aren’t a tournament fisherman. I’m getting old and I actually enjoy co angling foe the relaxation. after 50 years it’s good to let someone else run the boat and work their ass off. And, I have found that the lead fisherman can’t see some of the good spots until the boat passes by.

Thank you Bradley for the time it took to make this video. Very good info I'm thing of enter my first fishing tournament. The first week of September at lake Murray. Thanks for all the help. Kind of looking forward to it. Fish or no fish the entry fee plus gas money. Is still cheaper than renting a bass charter. Plus it will be my second time on bass boat in about twenty years. Thanks again.

Great topic Brad, and should get lots of views! Just a simple little thing that I did, I had a little light, with a red laser like beam, that I would give to my Co so I could easily spot him, as he waited on the pier to be picked up. ... it worked great. At times, I would back the boat down the ramp, then jump in the boat, an let the Co take over to dump me in.

Your videos are more informative than any other pro videos out there! Not selling me a bait/ rod/ line, just info. Another angler out there doing similar videos is Randy Blaukat. I’ve been subscribed to your channel for a couple of years! Keep ‘em coming!

That was Excellent. I fished with a very good Angler in Canada years ago. He started the first day racing through spots. We would be trophy muskie fishing together for seven days! My blood pressure was screaming. Then I thought: This guy knows more than me! I said to myself: “Shut Up, Sit Down and Hang On!” I asked him, “Brian, what do you recommend I throw? Was a successful trip after that. That was a good Life Lesson. Be well.
