If encyclopedias still were around, your information would be the the fish slaying section. I'm finding myself going through your entire catalog of videos. So clinical, so to the point, so informative. You are the man.

[@americanman6347]

That was great lots of awesome tips.

[@mattnash5159]

Looks like an amazing community to reside in. You are truly blessed. Love all the video's and all the extra details are much appreciated. Thanks for all the advice Keep the videos coming!

[@ubb4me]

A lot of good information. I had to laugh when you hooked up a small piece of the roboworm and paired it with a small jig head. My brother and I were doing that 20 yrs ago when 4 inch worms were the fad. You left out tube lures which can also work well with a small jig head or drop shotted. Keep em coming, I like all the good info.

[@macprince5667]

[@nwoutdoortv8351]

You nailed again,great video,good tips>Thanks.

[@adamwilson4834]

Great info. In my experiance finesse techniques tend to get you more bites when you're targeting multiple species. I caught walleye, lake trout smallmouth and ciscoe side by this spring with finesse jig setups.

[@aldeureaux5184]

Nice looking sweater n great tips thanks

[@InformativeFisherman]

Thx for watching!

[@witchdoctor813]

I'm bank fishing smaller ponds with skinny water, which of these techniques work best

[@christopherpettersen2359]

Great advice! Can you explain best way to set reel drag on a finess setup? I typically keep the drag set hard, specifically for hard hooksets. However, being new to finess techniques, I am under the impression to keep the drag light, to avoid line breakage and bending hooks out. I am having good sucess with this technique, but still leaning to tone it down. I tried to email you.

[@LJC32309]

Hey bud, need some help. Just got a finesse rig and need to have some ideas on why I am breaking hooks off at the knot. I'm using 10 lb braid to 6 lb floro leader. I've tied multiple knots such as uni, palomer, fishermans, etc. And have been getting frustrated. The only things I'm thinking is my drag is set too high and or setting hook too hard. I've broken 5 hooks in one day playing with the drag and even hook straight to braid to eliminate bad floro. Any ideas sir? Thank you. Very educational.

[@mnlis16]

how slow do you fishing the dropshot? and where is the place you fishing and how would you fishing cold muddy water?

[@mattnash5159]

Nicks Da Man!!

[@blindbhet]

Nice video. Always wanted to add this technique to my repertoire. The drop shot instruction was very detailed. I am that "guy" who plucks the line. Any advice on how long you leave it in one spot before you retrieve?

[@markusaurus1783]

What #test flourocarbon do you use for a leader?

[@xDx0xUxGx]

What do you recommend for a first fluorocarbon?

[@The0722Hunter]

Awesome

[@jonathanedwards7048]

What area of the country are you fishing?

[@LadyBass]

Have you used the floroclear by pline? Whats your opinion on it?

[@InformativeFisherman]

Great casting co-polymer line, I use it for jerkbaits and small crankbaits in the fall

[@ConservativeSanDiegan]

I know you said you live in Cali. What city do you live in?

[@jaydensmall2299]

Great video Nick!! I have a question is bass fishing tougher in the winter?

[@year2ghally18]

+Jayden Small usually, yes. however, when using the right technique, or with the right conditions, it can be the best fishing of your life.

[@jaydensmall2299]

+Year 2 Ghally ! Thank dude!

[@TheTroutman85]

I know exactly where this is at..... Great fishing spot.

[@jacobmosqueda7059]

does the p-line cxx sink good like fluorocarbon or does it float lk a mono line . . . plz write back

[@InformativeFisherman]

Jacob Mosqueda it floats

[@jacobmosqueda7059]

So it wouldn't be good for jerks baits or crank baits?

[@motodaddy9367]

what do you think about using fluroclear as a leader ?

[@InformativeFisherman]

It works great, helps with shock as well.

[@joehaskins5471]

can you use a baitcaster for finesse fishing ???????????

[@dylonreeve4353]

Yes but I would prefer spinning gear for lighter line.

[@FreddyGarcia23]

When are u going upload saltwater fishing in the bay?

[@InformativeFisherman]

I have a few and will have more this summer.

[@FreddyGarcia23]

+InformativeFisherman yea I love ur videos man bt I'm new abt striper and all the Bay Area fishing so I'm learning a lot from your videos

[@samkalter4520]

[@DonOwnsYou]

Nick...went are your hands so shaky?

[@InformativeFisherman]

essential tremors

[@DonOwnsYou]

***** OK. No disrespect. Just something I noticed. Great video.

[@InformativeFisherman]

Yeah no prob, thx!

[@elcentenario24K]

you're bad azz

[@jerrywhatley5168]

how many loops do you use on your uni to uni?

[@InformativeFisherman]

+Jerry Whatley I do 6 & 6

[@BreauxMyGod]

+Jerry Whatley I do 4 with the flouro and 6 with the braid. I actually bite down on the knot or pinch it with pliers to make it pass easier through the guides

[@FishnTheSouthOkanagan78]

that leaf blower (21.21 mark) in the background is really annoying to listen to as im trying to learn from your video

[@sandman7914]

Nick love your videos, hopefully gonna make it out your way in 2018, lookin to fish Berryessa and Clear Lake. Going to try to hook up with Bobby Burgess @burgesscustomjigs, man he is an artist what ever you want he will tie. You may know him since yall fish the same area, check him out. do you have an instagram account? mine is @cinjin_fishing ,love to meet you when I make it out there from Atlantic city, NJ, ,been fishing for over 50yrs but I'm still learning, we all are if we're truthful.

[@kenmaylin4744]

[@Mike-ul1xn]

finesse helps get the stank off

[@fishinghuntinggamingthewes7206]

Team mtb not ltb

[@rubenand4825]
