Fishing Here for the Last Time Ever!

This is the last time bass fishing on lake fairfield. The gates are now closed to the public and we will miss a great Texas Parks Lake. Changing conditions today have me switching from casting lures like crankbaits, to more soft plastic and jigs. With the spawn just around the corner, every hour can change fish behavior.

To anyone reading this comment, I hope you catch your pb bass this spring!

[@todddickinson3262]

You too brother!

[@FullTimeFishing]

@@todddickinson3262 thank you!

[@Jaden_The_Celestial]

Already caught my PB this past weekend. 21 inches long and about 6 lbs! When it first hit I thought I got snagged for a second there. lol

[@josephbrallier6768]

I'm trying my best, bud!

[@fishingthesoutheast5404]

​@@Jaden_The_Celestial it's an addictive feeling...when I caught my 10lb pb I was almost speechless...check it out on my channel I was shaking with excitement

[@todddickinson3262]

If there’s anybody else putting out content that’s consistently riveting like LFG does, I haven’t seen them. It really doesn’t matter what the subject of his video is, you can always bet that your gonna be entertained, and in my case, educated. Thanks LFG, for always putting in the effort, and for sharing your knowledge and experience so generously.

[@marcosbenitez5712]

My favorite googan member for sure , love the videos ! 👍🏽

[@bish-hopboi]

Pretty much the only googan that makes fishing content anymore.

[@FullTimeFishing]

Check out the channel if you’re interested in more fishing content!

[@Cerus98]

@@bish-hopboi - The others never have. Always been clickbait, frathouse nonsense.

[@landonmarler7608]

Im from fork and I’m a real big fan of ya and somehow you always teach me something I didn’t know about fishing. It’s crazy the amount of knowledge it takes to guess all the conditions and what the fish are doing without even using your phone. Just the good ole fashioned fisherman instincts.

[@shaunroberts9361]

Dude LFG. You are Nation wide. I have been watching you for over 5 years. And you have come along way. I am the one that sent you that huge pine cone we get up here in Northern California. Anyway love you edits and cannot wait for the next one.

[@radarfishin]

Okay, I’ve never been a fan of Googan. Never bought their baits, well recently I got The MotherLoad MTB and the Googan Lipless Crawl Crank was in there. Took that thing to a massive pond with a ton of rip rat and concrete slaps, and smoked the living life out of them bass. Definitely a fan of them now.

[@juanarappagis4192]

You're daughter picked up that chicken like nothing 🤣 I thought that was so awesome!! Great way to honor the lake 👍

[@TdTd-xd3wy]

When you coming to lake eufalala in Oklahoma for crappie fishing they running slabs my buddy and I caught our limits both days with on pole each on a 14’ Jon boat 25johnson off the cliff walls off hwy 69 come get some sir come get some 2.5-3 hrs from ya

[@clifffrazier4696]

Hey Justin, Just saw in the Dallas Morning News where TPW is going to open Lake Fairfield for day use starting the 14th.

[@d.moutdoors4377]

Glad the fishing got better for you they shutdown the turbines around my area and the fishing sticks compare what it use to be sadly

[@KB-eg9kg]

This MN angler is green with envy right now. Our lakes are frozen with 6" of new snow on them, and bass season does not open until mid-May.

[@bvandy8181]

Man I remember that place when it was full of Red fish and Tilapia used to just cruse from the fishing point to the out flow and back trolling rattle traps behind the ole 2 man.. I haven’t fished it since the last big kill off doesn’t look like I’ll get another chance…

[@Thumpaholic]

9:54 it's like watching a guitar 🎸 string go Thump!!

[@TheDedloc]

About 4 years ago I got really into bass fishing and I came across LFGs channel and I was so weirded out that he would sniff the bass when he catches them... I dont release a fish now without giving it a good sniff lol

[@anvy1231]

11:18 I remember driving home from my first fish after prom. I said the same thing

[@byronmcgill2656]

Know you gone miss that lake dang. Another good vidge

[@TdTd-xd3wy]

And also the trout fishing here on the white river/ tail water of beaver lake dam is hot sir

[@kennythao9558]

I like using neko rig rings for wacky rigging they do just fine plus I like fishing the neko rig either ways

[@RKHarm24]

Have you ever fisher Flowing Wells on Texoma for Crappie? I know a couple of guys that have 3+LB mounted on their living room walls. This was back in the 80's. No telling what it is like in March 2023.

[@johnprestonii871]

Lol “the Lunker rig has a larger gap” 😂 that’s perfect 😁🦷GAP 🦷

[@fishingwithollie1021]

My wife grew up fishing on that lake with her dad, it really sucks its being closed down. I'm glad you honored the lake and the people who have memories there.

Do you focus on a windblown bank Preferably a wind is coming in from the Southwest

Heck another video love it . Hate to see the lake . Love your videos lfg

It would be great to see you do a cacth and cook overnighter maybe even a couple days yeah.

[@nascarmommam5915]

Enjoyed the trip. Sorry it wasn’t the best, but usually that means more I learn for some reason. 🤷🏻‍♀️. I’d say it still was a great trip and just a start to the fishing here in Texas. Keep the dangle going. ~ Texas

[@lesliebyrum8934]

Just out of curiosity how your eggs coming along with your laying hens remember I watch one of your videos and some of them are blue and white and yellow pretty cool stuff

[@cliffhall5602]

good Cracker Barrel ref...

[@andrewcushing8008]

Did anyone else see the green and gold casting reels he was using. Was just courious if those could be prototypes for new casting reels from googan

[@brucemohon740]

LFG Love all the content. Thanks for all you do

[@ksoutdoorsports]

To bad about the lake. Can't wait for the Crappie to fire up, this year should be fire!

[@vuexiong6087]

When you said what should you start with? Instant chatterbait went in my head. Watch the tacticalbassin and Takahiro Omori vid recently and they got some monsters

[@Lethal1160]

Awesome video buddy, it's a shame the lake is going private! Seems like some good fishing and would probably be killer once the water really warms up

[@stephanelavoie2258]

LFG , why are you fishing the lipless on braid , is it a particular reason? Thank you for the video!

[@echoearth1296]

hey do you know by chance an approx. time of when the bait casters will be out? really am wanting one for my new rod

You should throw a jackhammer stealth blade that should get you a fish

[@micheal23388]

How do you keep you reels from getting backlash when casting out? When you cast its butter

[@billsa-bob8945]

I find it sad that Texas Parks was leasing this land. Texas should be protecting outdoor resources. Goodbye, Fairfield Lake State Park.

[@afp75]

Just read the press release about the park and it just a shame that they couldn't come to an agreeable compromise for the Texas parks system and the old and new owners.

[@ryanwilcox8866]

Commmmmon!!! Crappie!!!

[@marcosbenitez5712]

Went fishing today and they where hitting the red crankbait like crazy biggest one was 4lb

[@FullTimeFishing]

I never have luck with red but I’m trying it more this year!

[@kadenbrady2729]

i wish up here in Washington the bass would eat stick baits and jigs but they don't they only eat big paddle tail swimbaits and chatter baits

[@mitchellwest174]

Love your videos

[@kenwillis8487]

I’m betting the new owners see more profit potential running a private campground! Possibly even plan on putting up some cabins!

[@allenwilson9656]

It's goin to be a gated private sub division

How is the single 36volt battery holding up?

Man, this video has me itching to get out. I mean I won't, but I'll at least think about it 😅

Should’ve got a limit of crappie or white bass while you were there!

You have a great looking family . It would be great to put your family more in the videos

I looked this sale up and found out the State has spent 72 million in improvements at Fairfield over the last decades. They should take any improvements they can with them

Which reel are you using?

[@paytonwalker129]

Wind picked up had to switch back to the ole shimano😂😂

[@jacobcounty]

Serious question… why do all you guys use left handed reels?

[@hunterpro_1]

A lot of righties use them so they don't have to change hands to cast.

[@lRickGrimesl]

Idk why people do that they’ll be right handed but have the handle on the left side on a spinning reel I always swap mine

[@joshuanieuwenhuis2073]

Right arm stronger for setting the hook

[@marcusjohnson7896]

im the same way right handed but use lefty

[@thatfishingguy11b]

Likeeeee where’s he going?

[@brandoncarden6293]

Hi buddy how are you doing

[@TennTom_Times]

If it was the last time I'd ever get to fish a public lake for that same reason I'd be coming back with a limit of edible fish each day.

[@rickfromthecape3135]

Why are they shutting the lake down?

[@allenwilson9656]

Was sold to an investor. Going to make a private gated sub division out of it

I don’t care what I catch or how big, I just want to cast my line and catch whatever.

[@MAJJJJJJ]

Listen I like this channel. And the thing is when you smell the fish. That's a little odd. You smell it for so long and just a hard sniff. Your the only person I have seen do that. That's your trade mark. Can you smell it

again its becoming video game fishing!.. Doesnt matter whats on the hook.. if you can see the fish
