Great show ! Always nice to fish new places .

[@AsleepAtTheReel]

Thank You, yes it is!!!

[@loydsharbono9704]

Looks like a fair catching day considering the wind. I hate cold weather and/or WIND! Thanks for sharing the trip.

[@AsleepAtTheReel]

It really was considering when you throw the jig it comes back at ya! 😂. Here again for PreFishing for the tournament and caught some nice ones tonight. Thanks for watching and commenting!!

I really starting to like Bob Sandlin. Beautiful lake.

[@AsleepAtTheReel]

agreed. Fishes a lot like Palestine. I would like to go back during spawn!

[@rogerray2545]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@AsleepAtTheReel]

Hand therapy! 😂😁😂

[@slabbusterrtr7690]

Looks like it has a ton of eater fish in it and probably not as much traffic as bigger lakes which is a great thing to me... good show bud👍

[@AsleepAtTheReel]

It really does. I would love to get back here during spawn. Some of these fish are really long, just don’t weigh much!

[@makinwavestv6659]

Great video, Sarge! I used to fish up there a ton back in the days of bass fishing. One of the other lakes there used to be home to monster Bass. Wondered how the fishing up there was now. Thanks for the video.

[@AsleepAtTheReel]

Very cool! Yeah there are some good bass in there from what I can tell. We caught a couple while crappie fishing. I really like that lake. Last week was the first time I have ever been there then the tournament yesterday. It was really good. Thanks for watching and commenting brother and Happy Fathers Day!

[@Deven210]

Man I wish I lived in east Texas you guys have some Great Lakes. Although I don’t have a boat so it doesn’t matter much. 😂 great video sir.

[@AsleepAtTheReel]

ha ha We are blessed with our lakes! We have some great crappie habitats here. I appreciate the view and the comment. Boats are not everything, I started fishing docks and the bank. I appreciate you!

😉👍

[@AsleepAtTheReel]

thank you Sir!

[@ucantseeme5091]

Come back up to Hamilton sometime, levels are normal...plus lots of tagged $ fish ( no crappie tagged though)...Already had a 5k bass caught....look up Hot Springs Fishing Challenge...

[@AsleepAtTheReel]

Will be there in 2 weeks. Shoot me an email with your number if you want to get out there one morning or afternoon. [e-mail]

Is the thump net basically helping with pulling the fish from the live well at the end of the day? Any other advantages? Nice video. Thanks!

[@AsleepAtTheReel]

Yes and yes. Instead of having to dig through the live well, I just pull up the bag. Makes it a ton easier. On the other side if you are fishing for something like bluegill that you catch quick, you can leave it floating by you in the lake, just tie a rope to it, catch your fish and drop them right in the basket that is floating on the water, or if in a kayak or canoe have it flat next to you. On a video we just shot, we took all of our fish, then went to my buddies boat and grabbed all of his fish, plus some that we had in the cooler from yesterday, put them all in the Thump Net and moved them to the sink to clean. Made it a lot easier. We probably had 40-50 fish in the Thump Net and had room for twice that.

@@AsleepAtTheReel Thanks

[@AsleepAtTheReel]

@@jrh6869 see my video that comes out at 5 tonight. We had about 30-40 fish in that net. It is rugged!!

I just subscribed as my fishing buddy Reggie sent me your Facebook hoping I could reach out to you for some tips on fishing Lake Palestine. Mainly your preferred colors this time of year or under your current Lake conditions right now. Thanks. Nice work on the fish. You got on them really good for the first time on that lake. God fishing to ya. God's Blessings to you as well.

[@AsleepAtTheReel]

Hey thanks. What is working this time of year here are hand ties in grey ghost, BoneHead Palestine special with a 1/8 oz jig and Crappie Monster Margarita with 1/8 oz jig head. When the bite gets a little slow, I will move to a 1/16th but for the most part I am using 1/8 oz. Obviously minnows work great, but you have to keep them alive. Fish the deep water and look for structure. Brush piles are not the way to go if you are wanting big fish. They are filled with little eater fish. Your bigger fish will be in standing timber. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching. I have a video coming out tonight at 6 on the difference between a Rapala scale and a Bubba Pro if that is of interest to you. There is a big difference in how they weigh. Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.

[@waypoint000]

Great video, going fish Palestine this weekend, how is the crappie bite??

[@AsleepAtTheReel]

Thank you. You should have fun. The bite is pretty good. I have a video coming out tomorrow, but I caught the 7 fish that i used for the video all in about 15 minutes. Deep water, but they are about 10-15 ft deep. good luck! Oh, a lot of people have been fishing the bridge. I have not tried it, but there are a lot of people so it should be producing.
