I've bank fished all of my life and have had great success. I got a kayak for father's Day and it opened up a whole new world of possibilities. Last year my dad got a 14ft aluminum boat and that's opening up another world of possibilities on the water. Even with all that said there is nothing better than hitting the lake after work for a few casts and hooking into some nice fish. Thanks for sharing. As a father this video was dope bro. Love seeing you spend time on the water with your son 👏🏾 👏🏾

Wading the local river was the most influential factor in helping me finally somewhat get over a very long spell of depression last year. It made me want to get up in the morning at a time when nothing else did. I've actually decided to go back to school for Fish and Wildlife Management. Finally found something I can be passionate about. I'm really glad I decided to pick a rod back up last summer.
Thanks B Lat watching that little guy smile made my morning

Man, I really appreciated this video. I have a boat but I live in NY and fish mostly in NJ and it's just so expensive with tolls, ramp fees and gas, not to mention all the electric only and horsepower restricted lakes that I can't use. I'm getting back into beating the banks, it gives me a lot of access, it's cheaper, and it gets me back to my roots. Getting your kid out there, making memories is awesome. You're a good man, and a great dad. Great video bro.

Most of the ponds I fish are farm. Not all are cattle ponds, but they aren't as well kept as the one you were fishing. Lots of small bass competing for bluegill. No cover to speak of. They leak. But, as you say, the bass love top waters. The thrill of the hit is what keeps me coming back.

I took my boy once before I was really into it and we got a few bites but no fish. 3 years later and I feel like if I could get him to go again now that I can always get on small mouths he'd feel it, but he doesn't wanna go.

@robertholler7262 Жыл бұрын
Hey Carl. You don’t need a lot of money to get on the water. I started with an inexpensive kayak and caught tons of bass out of it before I upgraded to a used bass boat. There are still times I prefer to leave the boat at home and take the yak to out of the way spots for peace and quiet and a few hook sets. I love bank fishing too, but being on the water expands your possibilities 100 fold. Think about picking up a used kayak and always wear your PFD.

I've had 1 or 2 in my whole life, but they were with buzz baits so it's kinda half top half under but man when I finally got one it was a different kinda adrenaline, oddly I've never caught anything on a wacky rig which is what most ppl say is the easiest to catch on
@jdove39 Жыл бұрын
@@GalactiCadet another painful admission... I've never caught one on a wacky rig either. I've caught bass on a glide bait, jig, soft swimbaits & drop shots. No spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, topwater, wacky, neko, ned (lost one on a ned), crankbait or lipless crankbait 🤫.
