My TOP 3 Baits to use in the month of APRIL

[@rogerkalata9189]

May / June is when bass spawn up here in norther WI, and we don't have any herring or shad in our lakes, we do have shad in the Mississippi river, which I plan on making a pilgrimage to La Crosse this spring.

[@jamesrose7657]

You’re always on point!!!! Thanks for sharing. How are the ponds coming?

[@ericfishermancouch5712]

Thank Edwin for all the advice and the info on how to use these baits. Think I speak for everyone when I say we appreciate everything. Tight lines sir have a great day.

[@shanelytle8418]

Had to go back and make sure I heard Murray right. That lake is in my backyard and to get some input on it is huge. I appreciate all the knowledge you share especially about these good ole Oklahoma lakes.

[@ronhayes3554]

Thank you for taking time to help educate us recreational fishermen. I am 72 and used to golf but after 6 knee surgeries including both being replaced, needless to say my golf game went south (at least to my standards) and fishing took its place. Also really enjoy your FB posts especially when it comes to you fishing with your family! Wishing you the very best this year.

[@alanboyett5502]

Thank you as always for the bait tips! Never thought about trying the gilly on the Tokyo rig. Good luck this year on the BPT!

[@krisramos7453]

Early May is when they start spawning here! We seem to be holding onto winter this year too. Shallower lakes are 48-50 degrees mid day, and most lakes are still 45ish

[@PursuitofGameOutdoors]

Same in Michigan, water won’t get above 45 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@krisramos7453]

@@PursuitofGameOutdoors Yup. I’m in southern New England. Looks like it’ll start getting a bit better soon but no where near spawn temps

[@PursuitofGameOutdoors]

@@krisramos7453 I just want low to mid 50’s….wreck em on a chatterbait all day long lol 🔥

[@troyroach1277]

Love this channel because it’s usually about a month ahead of me here in Indiana. Helps build the excitement!

[@PursuitofGameOutdoors]

Same up here in Michigan!

[@trevormedley8864]

Swing head jig is always a go to. Had lots of success and won several pot tournaments using it. I look forward to these videos every month! Thank you sir!

[@darylnicholas4601]

Thank you for all the great tips and content. The way you convey your knowledge clicks with me. I took my son out for some kayak fishing yesterday. Man I wish I would have watched this video before we went out we may have had a more productive day. Keep up the great work buddy and thank you for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us.

[@mikegreen3628]

I live in Michigan but I think I’m going to fish that swing head with a tube. I just ordered some Tokyo rigs for the gilly. Thanks Edwin. This monthly tips are Awesome!

[@rileyjfoster27]

Yesterday was the first day I got go fishing for bass. I’ve been fly fishing for trout recently. Water temp was 66-69 degrees. Video was a great help to get my father and I to get to started.

[@LanceChristman]

As a Oklahoma Bass fisherman it’s very helpful to know what to use when I’m on Grand. Been following you for 25 years. Thanks for the content and your time for doing this.

[@joshualangham107]

I'm about one month behind you in northern Ohio but your videos give me a great heads up on tips I can use soon!! Thanks man

[@robertrieckenberg282]

enjoy all of the knowledge and how to work the bait you are presenting always enjoy all of your baits of the month and places to fish each month

[@robertnixon3816]

Thanks for the tips! That Gilly really does work well! Not only beds but weed edges, docks, etc. This is a much appreciated segment each month! Thanks!

[@LarryPage72905]

Fishing! Ponds! Pecans! Knowledge! You got it all ! Thanks for sharing all of those above. You’re the best!

[@shawngreen-hd3il]

Great video thanks for taking time to share your knowledge and explaining techniques in detail can’t wait to try them out

[@galexand07]

Love tossing the frogs.. nothing like a top water blowup! Thanks so much for the expert advice. Love your channel.

[@martyritchie2103]

I absolutely love these videos! They have helped me the past couple of years in our local tournaments! Oh yeah, I always pick you for my fantasy team!!!

[@robertbaker1947]

Thanks for the baits for April video! I appreciate the tips you give with the baits, it has made me a better fisherman!

[@GilAcee]

Great stuff Edwin! I saw you fishing the Gilly in that KZbin video and as soon as they reached my area I was on them. They are awesome this time of year but I have had trouble getting hooked up when I use an EWG through the side. Coming out the top has given me a much better hook up. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with all of us.

[@kristophermeierotto8051]

I'm in Missouri. And this stuff is just gold brother! Can't explain how much we appreciate you sharing what tons would never give away! Thank you

[@astrophysicistguy]

Frogs are a big deal down here in Florida and that rigging with the Gilly is really neat! Thx for everything you do to support bass fishing!

[@ryanvarner6520]

Great tips!! Helps me narrow down what to tie on before I leave for the lake! Thanks again, Ott!!!

[@knightjordan3]

Awesome!!! Love the tips. Thanks for the opportunity. Wish you would've kept the gilly tip on the down low lol it helped me catch a couple bed fish last year. Definitely a game changer.

[@clayhudson3722]

it was a privilege getting to meet you at redcrest the other month, thank you for taking the time to talk with me. I did buy some of your pecans. the creme brûlée was mine and my kids favorite. so good and I'll be ordering some more. thanks for the fishing tips like always

[@DanielBoone337]

I flipped a Tokyo rig in beds on Toledo Bend with a bluegill colored swimbait on it and crushed them this whole spring. It's like they can't handle it on their beds and for some reason they tend to get the hook most of the time unlike when they pick up a Texas rigged plastic off the bottom. I didn't get a double digit this year but had a couple in that 8 to 9lb range and a bunch of really solid fish. Great video as always keepem coming brother!!!

[@LMc-Ky]

Nice baits Edwin! Thanks for the info. I’ve been following you for years and learned a ton. It’s always good to here you man.

[@keithboyd1460]

Always look forward to the monthly videos! Going to have to try the copperhead color frog. Have never thought about fishing a bluegill bait on a Tokyo rig. That is why I love the videos. Always something new to try. Thanks again!

[@thekidfishing5745]

Great video. Your way of rigging the gillie I have to try. Your monthly videos always get me start off each month with confidence

[@southmountainautomotive5919]

Always look forward to the new videos and your recommendations on baits to try. Good luck on the circuit 👍

[@jstrawser2389]

love your videos and all of the knowledge you bring in every one of them. We use them to help our student-anglers on our high school fishing team.

[@haroldlease901]

Great information. Getting back into bass fishing and it's great to see some new techniques. Go get em' this season!!

[@bafirewrestler]

Looking forward to having my son and his partner try some of these baits out this Sunday in the OKHS Fishing tournament on Grand! Thanks again Edwin!

[@dwayneredhair2681]

Great info. I like that I can take fewer baits that are recommended rather than lugging around more than needed. Plus; also, the rods needed to go catch them fish. Thanks for the suggestions

[@keithpowell2786]

Thanks for the April tips, they are awesome as always. Best of luck on the tournament trail and be safe in your travels.

[@jeremyboudreaux9313]

I am glad you mentioned the Tokyo Rig for bed fishing... I tend to forget about that one. Especially with the Gilly!

[@bradhensley1134]

Thanks for the tips on the swing head jig, i've been trying to learn how to fish that lure for a couple years now without much luck of hooking up. Can't wait to try your way of setting the hook

[@strat-a-caster2016]

Love these videos. Honestly learn something new every time. Thankful for all the tips and tricks!

[@eschiti1]

3 of my favorite baits to throw year round!! I haven't thrown the Gilly on a Tokyo Rig yet, but will definitely try it out!! Thanks for all you do!

[@joshuatousey8103]

Love these baits. Every time i see watch these, i learn something new.

[@leeclack4121]

Thanks again for the info, really enjoy these even though I’m way south of you in Texas and we’ll soon close on the spawning season and notice a lot of comments north of you still in low 50’s and we’re approaching 70’s soon but I do what I can to keep your tips in mind. The tips on cranking have really helped me catch more and better fish.

[@ChrisCrockett-n2m]

Never thought of using a gillie on a Tokyo rig. Looking forward to trying this. Thanks for the tips and all that you do. Hope you have a great season

[@carterallen8717]

April is definitely my favorite moth to fish out of the year. The big ones always get me excited.

[@williamschneider6811]

I have been throwing a shakey head with a South African, or a green pumpkin candy bottom hopper worm, and have been doing quite well during March. Until the bites stop I plan to continue through April. Love your channel, keep up the great work.

[@BernieBolton]

Always love your videos each month is a treat waiting for your videos. I have tried many of your techniques and I have caught more fish. I still have not mastered slow finesse fishing yet but I'm giving it one hell of a try.Thanks much God bless.

[@bigdawg580]

Hey thanks a bunch E, your tips always give me a fresh look at things to try! Looking forward to giving the Berkley Gilly a go for bedders.

[@TJ_Loves2fish]

I appreciate these videos so much. The bait suggestions are good, but the tips on how to fish them are what I appreciate most.

[@ZebOldham93]

Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to make videos for us. I am still looking forward to a pond and lake build update!!

[@KCJonesn2Fish]

Thanks for the bait tips. I’ve been really wanting to try flipping the gilly using a flipping hook and nail weights so it sits up naturally on a bed but the Tokyo rig looks like it will work much better. Thanks again.

[@terrygeren9611]

Edwin, thanks for sharing your knowledge on good baits for this month. The Gilly had never crossed my mind.

[@guyb5333]

Great information. Always enjoy baits of the month. I especially appreciated the description of the different frogs. I haven't fished frogs before but I may give it a try.

[@chrismcclear4290]

Awesome advice as always and would love to try these techniques here in Northern VA! Good luck with the rest of your tournament season. Also, loving the "After the Cast" channel.

[@Just_DrewFishing]

Awesome video. I’m definitely going to try the gilly on a Tokyo rig. Thanks for the tips. Good luck out there on the tour. Looking forward to the next one.

[@zacheryboggs9700]

Edwin, I enjoyed watching you guys on the “Bass After Dark” podcast. The respect and admiration you showed for Mr. Brauer was cool to see. Good video… I enjoyed the swing head info.

[@Jmusicnotes]

Thank you Edwin! Awesome video! Been using those gillies too...major confidence bait for me! I'm gonna try that swing jig for sure...have never tried that! I always appreciate these videos to learn about new technics...as you say..."think out of the box!"

[@Paulyzbassn]

Hiya Ed, I've been watching your videos for a number of years and always get another tip to add to my arsenal. Thank you from Northern Michigan! Up here my local lake temp hasn't hit 40°F yet... And it is gin clear. Have fun and God's peace everyone!

[@PursuitofGameOutdoors]

Down on the west side we have been catching them on blade baits, a lot darker water than up north tho. Water is about 46

[@georgebrewster7861]

What an awesome time when they start blowing up on the frog. Can't wait to get out. Thanks for the time and work you put into your vids. Tight Lines! 🐟

[@AaronCrews-k2y]

I enjoy the knowledge you share.vbut I'm on Lake Seminole and it fishes like a Florida lake. Here it's post spawn with a few main lake sand bar bedding fish. very few to be sure. It's spinner baits, Texas rigged worms , Carolina rigs and flipping

[@robertrussell6466]

Love the top baits of the month videos .. gets the adrenaline flowing to go try new baits and techniques.. so please, keep cranking out the videos..

[@jimholliman2822]

These baits will be great to take to my local reservoirs. Thanks for the suggestions. Best of luck to you this tournament season.

[@rustyward9900]

Thanks for sharing. I love fishing the month of April. The Berkley fishing tackle is awesome, everyone should try these baits. I love fishing with jigs. I will be looking for the Fusion heads and PowerBait Shape 108. Thanks for the fishing tips. Good luck in your next fishing tournament.

[@NeilGraham.I.M.F]

I will say I really struggle to catch bass when the water temperature is under 58° or so. Up in Northwestern Pennsylvania, we are not ready for the spawn yet. But by the end of the month, I can see these being big players. Until then. Thanks for the great videos telling the techniques, Baits and how and when to use them

[@leviberg6479]

Love these videos. We are right in the heart of the spawn here in Southern California. I'm going to have to give that swing head a try. Great baits as usual.

[@davidratliff8776]

Going to for sure be throwing the wobble head this spring here in Virginia in our highland lakes! Thanks for the great informative videos !

[@KoltinShawver]
