Catch MORE FISH From SHORE!! (Bank Fishing Hacks)

[@edbrown3047]

I always appreciate the bank fishing videos. Probably because I can relate to them more. Thanks for continuing to post them man.

[@RiverCertified]

You bet man! I like how simple bank fishing is and way cheaper than hauling a boat around.

[@jonas2431]

Me too awesome video sir

[@jonathonfajardo4270]

@@RiverCertified do u think a medium rod is better for circle hoooks

[@RiverCertified]

@jonathonfajardo4270 if you use braid I think it definitely is

[@jonathonfajardo4270]

@ why just curious

[@RiverRat-2112]

Always clean up when you get there, before anyone else gets a crack at it, you never know what you will find. Over the years, many knives, tackle and lures of all kinds, booze and beer, brand new reels still in the package, pliers, bait, new spools of line, stringers, snacks, sunblock, propane, insect repellent, rod and reel combos, rod holders... Most times just trash but sometimes goodies and always some good karma.

[@RiverCertified]

@@RiverRat-2112 without a doubt. I actually found an abu 6000 i fished with for many years doing that

[@MicahQubeck]

River booty. Used to do fish sampling for the state and we’ve found everything from kayaks to high end tents. Crazy what people leave or forget.

[@JosephIrwin-f9x]

At the start of trout fishing this year i found a 100 dollar knife. Took it home and cleaned and sharpened it and shes good as new ha.

[@leonacrowley164]

I love your bank fishing videos. Because I don't have a boat. Thanks for sharing.

Been a fan for a long time and I just want to say thank you for picking up trash I'm glad I'm not the only person that does that. That's the exact reason nobody lets other people go on their property no one respects it we only have one mother earth great video bud

[@RiverCertified]

You're spot on with the permission thing. Honestly I like doing stuff that gives me something to do and helps out. I'm glad you do too man.

[@petemaverick4538]

That’s awesome that you pick up the trash. You’re a good steward. Great example here bruh!

Sweet! I mainly bank fish now, love to feel the rod bend and hear the drag talking. Nice flathead, a great eating fish in my book. enjoyed the video as usual

That blue at 20:00 I would've kept for my big aquarium Either I'm way farther in the clouds than I think or the colors on that fish was gorgeous

[@RiverCertified]

Haha it was definitely a pretty one

[@RicardoHaruoIriguti]

The flathead made the grand finale! I love bank fishing, it’s simple and easy, you got some really good bank fishing tips! I caught a bunch of small fish bank fishing two weeks ago! Thanks for sharing!

[@RiverCertified]

It's definitely the best way to fish sometimes! Way cheaper when I can make a trip and not have to haul a boat too. Thanks for watching man!

[@robertwilliamson6958]

I bought a kuiu stalker 500 for hunting. Liked it so much for that, and it’s molle loops to clip stuff on, I bought a new one for hunting so I could use the OG for dam/bank fishing. I love it for packin water via the bladder slot, I pack in some plastics in the main compartment, strap a couple 3600’s to it, clip on pliers scissors and a stringer, off I go. Gives me 2 hands free to take too many fishing rods with me! 😂

If you're thinking about the ten foot hell cats. Do it! I was one of the first to get mine. And for a heavy, they are perfect. More M/H than H, in my opinion. Good parabolic bend too.

Happy Christmas, Spencer

[@attitudeadjusted9027]

My river box is the same as yours. Small and efficient. Been using backpacks for years and your right, simple. If i wont fit then i don't need. Man those was some eater fish. Guessing that cricks contaminated? I knew youd catch one right in front of you🤠. Great vid and keep your powder dry and your pantry stocked young man 💪😎🙏🏾

[@RiverCertified]

It's probably the most polluted river I've ever fished but a pile of flatheads in it. Thanks for watching sir. Hope you do the same!

[@sealofakatosh]

You move the same way I do man. A bag, small tackle box with assortment of gear, couple rod holders, couple snacks n shiet, etc. The NCR here in Oklahoma is typically shallow enough to walk through most parts for miles & there's a ton of honey holes where the fish get caught up. Water rises, new fish move in & its fishin heaven if ur willin to trek for it.

[@RiverCertified]

Man that sounds like a cool place. Hope you keep catchin em over there.

[@pazcodigital]

When you said to make a guess what kind of fish was biting I was like I don't think I'm betting against Spenser when it comes to flathead fishing lol. Also tell Ella Happy Holidays and hope to see her on a flathead soon or a catch and cook. Be well.

[@earljenkins1302]

Spent many hours on the banks of the Tombigbee with my Grandfather when I was growing up,, brings back memories. Enjoyed the trip.

That's a river I want to visit. I bet you have some great memories.

I need to find myself a backpack that will work for me, that will free up a hand carrying the tacklebox, hoping to get out along the bank of the Mississippi or Missouri one day here before Christmas.

[@vbarranch4424]

What I lol'd is the forgetting the grips... So i bought two for the boat and one for the bag and one for the cleaning station😊

I definitely need to get another set to toss into the bag. Thanks for watchin' man.

[@Carlosm02tx]

I sent dam fishing the trinity here in Fort Worth tx and caught a decent gar(my first ever) lol and my cousin caught a 4lb bass

[@randylippert6416]

Lazy man's fishin , you think about it when you're in a boat you casting towards the bank and when your bank fishin you cast out away, who new!! Great video Spencer 👍👍

[@RiverCertified]

Yeah it's funny how that works out. When the water is rising, I still try to toss one on the bank, even when I'm fishing the bank. Thanks for watching Randy!

[@Darmstrongfishing]

If you cast and feel a deep whole that’s a good spot too. Try cut carp if you can get it

I love to bank fish . Sad so many waterways have been polluted to where u aren’t supposed to eat the fish living there. I enjoyed the video and those were some nice cat’s. Great info on the back pack also thanks

[@RiverCertified]

Yeah man it's a shame. Thankfully they aren't all like that. Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@Darmstrongfishing]

They hangout in those eddies close to the bank . Where the water circles throw close to that.

[@driveabout1world872]

As always, it’s a great video. You fish off a boat, a kayak and walk the bank. How about using an E-bike?

[@RiverCertified]

I've done that a little bit. There's some spots I'm definitely gonna hit on the e-bike next month. Thanks for watching!

[@RiverRat-2112]

I have streamlined many times, and then I want something I don't have so next time it goes in the bag, and then again, and again.... pretty soon I am not streamlined again. LOL I see you never made the rod carriers I suggested. I would send you one but they are so simple to make that there is no sense wasting the postage. So simple that I can't figure out how to sell them. lol

[@RiverCertified]

It's a vicious cycle man! haha I appreciate the offer. Im pretty good at losing things like that

[@MrGimpy]

@rivercertified enjoy the videos. You bank fish a lot so I have a question. I'm disabled and bank fish for cats. I have a problem cast really far because I have to sit. Is there any technique to cast farther in a seated position? I use spinning rods and just got a baitcaster.

[@billyhorton5779]

Bank fishing is what I call real fishing. No fish finder, 40-thousand-dollar bass boat, or people needed. A fisherman has to know what their doing to land a fish. Odd that people that are in a expensive boat only want to come where a bank fisher man is and start throwing out casts! Moving from location after 45 mins, is what I call "going on Safari" catfish style!

[@josephrobinson8894]

[@troyvaughn6060]

@ I love your videos

[@madtownangler]

I try to fish at places that most other people don't go to. I also for years had a longer rod, heavier line, and heavier weights That way I could cast farther than the other people at one spot I used to fish and at the beginning of the night the fish would find my bait first

[@RiverCertified]

We definitely think the same there. Thanks for watching man.

[@benjimanphillips7642]

What river is that since you say you won’t eat anything out of it?

[@LifewithJames]

I like bank fishing because of the simplicity. It’s nice to use my boat but it’s nice to just grab my fishing rod and tackle bag and not have the hassle of hooking up the boat trailer/launching the boat/loading the boat back/unhooking and emptying out the boat when I get home.

[@fishing_fam84]

@RiverCertified it's definitely a fun river. I just got my first kayak, so hopefully that's going to up my chances for a bigger one. Awesome video 👍

[@N-D-Outdoors]

Dams are where I go when I want to be crowded and catch no fish, all the ones around me are in major cities. I've fished 3 different dams on the same river probably 30 times a piece and have caught exactly 1 fish, that's fishing for catfish,saugeye,and small mouths all at once.

[@RiverCertified]

They're definitely all about timing. I try to figure out the conditions they are good in and get there before everyone knows they biting.

[@N-D-Outdoors]

@RiverCertified in ohio it don't matter the conditions there will always be more people than fish at the dams. I do alot better just finding a deeper hole a mile or so down river, preferably under a bridge.
