How to fish small ponds to catch fish

[@John-gu7jq]

Thanks for the video. Can you add a link on where to buy the rod & tackle setup you used?

[@richstone2627]

Corn meal coated catfish is what I'm craving now. Washed down with cold beer. Good stuff Dave. Thank you.

[@mrkultra1655]

Thanks Dave. I can tell that fishing is one of your favorite things to do in the world, because after all these years, it’s usually the only time I’ve heard you laughing during a video. It’s my favorite thing in the world as well 🎣

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

I love small packout fishing gear. I still carry a small jigging kit in the truck.

[@slickydicky]

HECK YEA DAVE! I've been missing the on the waters edge series! It's probably my most replayed series of yours next to the trappers cabin

[@Nathan-wf3fr]

Apreeciate the true sportsmanship, conservation, and ethical mindset sir. Not enough of that character in the world today.

[@WiggysWilderness]

On the Water's Edge has always been one of my favorites! I've learned a ton from them. I loved the old canoe videos.

[@alexakamarbles]

Always love the fishing videos, thanks Dave

[@haroldmiller6853]

I carry an old Shakespeare collapsible and a micro light reel love it thanks for sharing yours again Dave

[@NewAmericanWoodsman]

Love the Waters Edge vids! Thanks for posting!

[@benterwellen]

Dave, awesome presentation, ty

[@jasonpullan488]

Cool Vid Dave! My favourite packback rod is a Kilwell (New Zealand company) packaway "8ft 6inch spin/fly" good spin rod, but average for a 4weight fly rod, all i need to do is change the handle setup and swap over reel, but the extra versatility of being able to use a fly line, or a compact skagit head like a 160grain OPST commando, give me far more opportunities to catch a fish.

[@shawnsadventures2852]

Epic video love the relaxing day with Dave going on the playlist

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

Looks like and Abu Garcia reel? Great option. That is what use on an ultralight trout rig. You're making me want to setup a small setup for the backpack with a different rod!

[@jasongarling20]

Love love love these! This is a great kit! I carry an ultralight rod reel combo with a small two sided fishing kit with flies, rooster tails, etc in it! Glad we agree! I can catch any and all species with it!

[@Christophersoutdooradventures]

That's the way I see it.. Take smaller lures to catch smaller fish, but the entrails can be used as bait for bigger fish. Good video David! 👍👍

[@Hoggy1963]

Thanks for this. The Daiwa mini spin is hard to beat

[@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969]

Loved it Dave. We might be knocking on a bit but fishing takes us back to being young lads again. Could see how much you enjoyed that. I ran a survival course session on the benefits of carrying a breakdown or telescopic rod yesterday. Was great to see your film pop up 👍. Atb Rick n Billydog

[@marlind.odermatt8108]

I can tell we are similar in that we both love to fish. Traps and set lines are great but in the time it takes to rig them, I can usually fill the pan and then release the rest of them and get my shoulder work out LOL

[@wardmt]

Thanks Dave! Would really appreciate any links to the rod & canvas bag, reel, tackle box and lures - great video!

[@UniversalSovereignCitizen]

Teachers with sound knowledge and 'ethics'! Common sense tells me to learn from these people like Dave. Taking all the fish means eventually you'll starve. Diversifying the food sources and protecting the diversity is an integral aspect of survival. (And the manner of an intelligent being.) Awesome buddy, Cheers.👍 Universal Sovereign Citizen

[@darrinmartin8247]

Dave is the King

[@michaelmerrick5472]

That's a sweet place! Some fun! You caught more than I do in a whole day most times.

[@marksmith4627]

First cast BOOM! LOL, great catch Dave.

[@danielmatthews4262]

I'm gone fishin with Dave C today🎶

[@mark53123able]

Great video! Looks like a nice rod and reel combo. I was just wondering what rod and reel you were using. I would like to get something like that that is light weight and compact

[@zippitydoodah5693]

I keep a Dock Demon in every vehicle I own and one attached to my BOB. LOVE those things. I have two still attached to the packaging in my Bushcraft Closet just in case one of my regular ones breaks and needs immediate replacement.

[@edgit69]

Who makes the fishing reel combo. Thanks and appreciate your videos

[@jamesellsworth9673]

This was a great lesson in the value of light tackle in small water. I can just see a decent fish chowder made with these smaller fish.

[@TAVAAR7]

Of a the fishing I've ever done I gotta say ultralight has been one of my favorites and go-tos.

[@Wolfram762]

Dave that was awesome! Thats a very nice set up. Gonna look into getting myself one. I absolutely love to fish but due to an insane work schedule i haven't been able to get out in an extremely long time!

[@Ted-F-Strassburg-III]

I never did see any mention or a link on the gear used.

[@sturisa]

Nice fishing Dave , enjoyed watching!

[@theguywitheyebrows]

well dammit dave we need a link to the combo, love the video. you shamed us in your 30 min fish, but we only got wet divots in the desert so i won't compain much. keep'em comin dave, love the content.

[@donaldkimballjr1138]

Great video Dave.

[@DavidCanterbury]

Thanks 👍

[@internetcatfish]

I've had good luck keeping brim from swallowing the hook when using a bobber that is small enough to just barely float the rig and a hook that's big enough they can't inhale it immediately. If you get that setup weighted just right, the bobber will go under as soon as something starts messing with your worm. Usually, the only brim that will swallow it are the size of your hand or bigger, which can be enough to make a meal with just one fish.

[@JoelPerri7777]

I’ve had the dock demon for a few years, just switched out the reel cuz it sucked, and put on a $25 shimano reel and it’s awesome. Telescope rods are out, dock demon in!!

[@amateurshooter6054]

Thanks Dave

[@trynsurviven2440]

The Dock Demon is a great little rig.

[@slickydicky]

Also! I can attest to the "big hooks catch big fish, small hooks catch all the fish" rule. I tied me some small wooly buggers in size 10 a couple years ago and took off to go catch a few bluegill for the skillet. And I wound up catching my biggest smallmouth that day! A 17 inch 4 pounder! And then I cleaned up on the bluegill not long after

[@kurts64]

Love the fishin vids! 👍👍 🎣

[@attila2a746]

Great Video ! Thank you !

[@cjemtp0470]

please do a short video of that rod and some of your favorite tackle

[@christopherrenfro8582]

Love the video u should more fishing videos love these

[@dutchviking2584]

Love the On The Waters Edge videos. Watched each one several times. What line do you have on the reel? What rod are you using in this video? Thanks again.

[@143DREWID]

Even for fun ! I packed a 1982 Abu Garcia 52 Cardinal and 2' two piece rod into Ecuador mountains just to catch some small rainbows. So worth it. Have multi piece spinning rod and real in my backpack. So many easy breakfasts.

[@kjamtx]

Used to be a little Fishing buddy thing 30yrs ago. Rod and reel with fold down rod, pop-up handle for hooks, toss it behind the seat of your truck. would definitely handle those lil fish. don't remember about accuracy of the casts but get the right weights and get good it would get the job done. Ill try to figure out the name, but you seem to be promoting that. lol

[@pinhookfishingclub]

Heck yeah my fav series!!!🏆🎣

[@adventurecraft482]

Hey Dave! Could we get a link to this rig? Thanks!

[@jenhamilton]

Yes what break down pole is this?

[@voose3839]

Huge tip for these spinning reels. If you dont want the slinky line. Put a backing on the reel, and spool up with braid first. Then learn a leader knott. It casts farther, no mess with the line falling off the reel, more sensitivity, plus you will have that braid if you need it in a pinch.

[@Sagivisrael]

What type of rod can you completely remove the handle from?

[@YankeeWoodcraft]

I got my grandson an Ugly Stik Dock Runner. I liked it so much I got myself one for my pack. I've seen guys catch massive fish on them. Both are awesome rigs so there's no reason to have to improvise one in the field "if" you're smart enough to carry fishing line, tackle and the tools needed to create something out of scratch. If I have to craft a fishing rod in the field, that means I lost my pack. If I lost my pack, I'm pretty sure I lost the fishing line & tackle in it too! 😂

[@Jesus_is_Lord7777]

Dave mind sharing a link to purchase that setup?

[@UniversalSovereignCitizen]

Lol... Every fisho' knows there's always time for 'one more cast'. Was this video originally an hour and a half long???😆👍 Polaroids good for better seeing the safest spot to cross river or reef when I'm in the boat. That smile's infectious man! Keep acein' it. Universal Sovereign Citizen

[@Gunn4u]

Great video Dave. What breakdown ultra light system is that?

[@DavidCanterbury]

Daiwa mini spin

[@robertweldon7909]

I could not agree more about ultra lite fishing gear. I have an old Shakespeare ultra lite rod with slip rings to mount the reel. So I can slide the rings down to the bottom and mount a fly reel. The thing is about 6' 6" and does not break down, a small draw back. That's OK I have another break down rod that does the same thing, but I really like my old rod best' That pond could use a bit of culling out (dinner for Dave) Try out an old fashion Hula Popper for bass in that same pond at about 6 PM. mimic a swimming frog. Pop, Pop, chug, chug, wham bass on. It's worked for me for many years. ;-)

[@ebony5766]

That was fun! I haven't been fishing for a while, you just got me amped up!

[@JoeEmmonsJr]

Where did you get those two bags for your fishing pole?

[@Joe-x5n1g]

That one u called a bluegill was actually a green sunfish

[@djangowolfe610]

Where can I get the rod

[@Attemptedvelocity]

10:48 that is a nice fish

[@hk45c62]

Dave, do you have any experience with the Emmrod fishing rod system?

[@DavidCanterbury]

Have video on my channel buddy

[@mikehawkins4342]

Dock demon is my go to.

[@scottmcley5111]

Id have to rock a slip bobber, but i like the ultralight!

[@leswallis8158]

I have 5 different telescopic rods 2 dock runners 1 spinning with Lew's spinning reel,1 spincast with a zebco micro 33 they took over the others place

[@tjs2909]

Thanks Dave! What rod is that?

[@DavidCanterbury]

Daiwa Mini spin

[@ericorsinger1518]

Where do you get a rod and reel like that

[@SpamMusubi308]

Do you swap out treble hooks for single hooks? Barbed or barbless? Thanks Dave 😆👍

[@DavidCanterbury]

When I’m trout fishing

[@slickydicky]

Also also..... you've convinced me to get of those rods. 50 bucks ain't bad at all

[@cyclops214]

Bluegill are actually pretty good tasting fish you can catch about 10 or 15 of them fillet them and fry them. They're so good.

[@bobbyd4400]

Is the reel an okuma avenger

[@feartheoldblood]

Smoked fish is what I'm cooking this weekend, if I catch anything

[@BFG-rr9cv]

What's the name of the gear?! The rod and reel?

[@damion6055]

Where did you get that rig?

[@DavidCanterbury]

Daiwa mini spin

[@JAB671]

I have read that if the fish swallows the hook and you don't want to keep it you should cut the line instead of trying to pull the hook out. Supposedly, most modern hooks will rust away after just a few days and the fish will likely be fine. I don't 100% know if it is true or not but that is what I do, just in case. In fact, even if it is a fish I am going to keep if it swallows the hook I will still cut the line because I don't see causing it any more stress than necessary and I can retrieve my hook when I clean it. Of course, if I were survival fishing and only had a couple of hooks then I would probably approach things differently.

[@Lindisfarne666]

Small ponds like that have a habit of becoming stunted and benefit from removing small bass if legal

[@younggun9956]

I miss the good ol "on the waters edge" series. Cherokee with a canoe on top. The good ol days

[@ljandtboal]

Rooster tail?

[@weerobot]

[@shawnsadventures2852]

Look out Bill Dance !!

[@jayroser9876]

They must be done spawning?

[@jonm4342]

13:22 "just one more cast"

[@davidrosenberg5453]

Fish onnnn!!!!

[@ivanwesley8182]

You can cut up one of those bluegills and use them to catch catfish or turtles 👍

[@billhatcher2984]

I would have kept the big sunfishes they are great eating i would have tried to catch about 6 or 8 of them and had a fine dinner

[@Jerryshipping12]

What rod and reel is that? Link?

[@DavidCanterbury]

Daiwa mini spin

[@shepherd3716]

Why is it when one is fishing from the bank, one wants to cast out into the middle of the body of water, but when one is fishing from a boat, one wants to cast to the shoreline?

[@TracieHunter-v5p]

How do you drive by' See a pond and fish there? Every time I try this three or four landowners come out and threaten to shoot me

[@stevestumpy6873]

[@shcmoly]

And if your just catchn & releasn you can crimp your barbs for an easier release, of course you may loose a few too but thats fishn.

[@ZBielski]

Now im hungry for fish 😂

[@columbo1966]

If you are away from humans (the wild), catching fish is surprisingly easy.

[@Dankbudzz]

Ah the hardest part of fishing trying to leave 🤣

[@henrydale8783]

Damn!! Make it look altogether too easy...

[@timmccabe503]

Do you sell that outfit at your self reliance outfitter store?

[@dustyjoe45auto]

Edit- this rod sold out everywhere after the video dropped. Coincidence?

[@nickp.2432]

Flyrod is the only way. Cheating if you aren't flyfishing, least that's what gramps taught me. 🎣

[@mikehawkins4342]

I have probably caught more fish with my Rothco pocket fisherman than anything else.
