Fishing Planet - Ep. #60: American Shad in Neherrin River, North Carolina!

[@jeffreyhendricks3932]

As always Hawkeye, your videos are spot on. Not even 3mins at the spot and nailed one. Thanks.

[@HawkeyeM]

No problem man! When this game came out, every youtuber focused of how to catch all the big fish on this map. I noticed that no one had produced anything on the American Shad. I spent the better part of a week locating the buggers as well as the best bait and times. So far, the techniques have remained the same!

[@Squatchcraft]

Great info filling a very needed gap. Great to get back from out of town and find a sweet video waiting for me.

[@HawkeyeM]

Thanks Dula. Yeah, I was a bit worried. I spent a lot of time testing and trying out different things. Luckily, my knowledge of the species and of the shad family in general helped out! I hope everything is okay with you and your family!

[@doubledragon2074]

Hhaha when you talk about rage quit over unique bass loss at the beginning of the video it reminded me of a fishing trip I had with my dad. He hooked the biggest bass I had ever seen it was large mouth we got it all the way to the boat and just as he raised the fish up to grab it out of the water the hook bent and the damn thing got off. At least he had me his youngest son as a witness hahahah.

[@HawkeyeM]

LOL! I think all of us have some amazing fish stories to tell!

[@mrsspiritwolf]

@@HawkeyeM why don't you use landing nets like we brits do lol

[@vapelounge6110]

Cool video.. I do alot of fishing in the ohio river. Catch alot of shad and skipjack in the ohio at the Robert c byrd lock n damn... I live in huntington wv. Where r u located Hawkeye. I love your vids by the waym. been a avid fisherman since I was probably 4 or 5 years old.. I'll be 34 on August 22nd. J was iffy about this game but started watchi jb g your videos decided I had to get it. Your videos and hard work st making them has helped me tremendously in game and levelijgnup and making money.. thanks for what ya do sir.. have a good one and keep them lines tight. On the game and in real life... I'm going bass foshing in the morning I got 4 months of my mystery tackle boxes setting on the shelf I havent been able to put to use due to health issues so tomorrow I'm gonna put then to use' I subscribe to mtb for bass. Just the 15 dollar a month box.. then tomorrow afternoon / night I got invited to go catfishing with my buddy st the dam on his boat so hopefully will be catching some 40 plus pound flatheads or blues instead of 20 to 25lb flattys on a game lolm. Even got s killer deal today on a brand new unused in the box blue abu garcia 6000 with the clicker. Csnt believe the guy sold me it off of the Lego app for 40 bucks. It's a 120 dollar reelm. Fish on brother

[@HawkeyeM]

Jeez...Sounds awesome. Yeah, the wife and i are going to do some fishing next weekend. Probably go to a place called Deam's Lake. Mostly Channels, but you might get the occasional bass. I live in Southern Indiana across from Louisville, KY.

[@danielsheehan6677]

Red worms are just as good.

[@yfz450rider39]

Being a fisherman in real life, does this game accurately represent fishing? Pretty awesome fishing simulator?

[@AJ-nm4bh]

It's very nice

[@tyler6929]

Holy Sh%+. Fishing planet looked so much different 5 years ago

[@werewolf34mixboxsteam72]

ran out of shrimp will they bite anything else? ive been trying for several days without a single catch on them

[@jjohnson9009]

Great video Hawk, I was jiggin for em and coming up with nothing and had my leader set too low when I went to the float so good intel on that one!

[@HawkeyeM]

The leader depth does vary a bit to bit depending on the barometric pressure. If it is low, set it to 20 inches. If it is high, 25 to 30! Just test it a little. Glad I could help!

[@MbBadd]

how do you know the pressure reading for that day?

[@IceDaemon]

Nice catches.

[@barticoch]

Worked like a charm! Used Natural eggs, thanks!

[@bolbistroganovsky7052]

Hawkeye I dare you to go for the largest fish ever caught in the game. 👍🏻

[@HawkeyeM]

Challenge...ACCEPTED!

[@AuthorNancyKimball]

Thank you!! Second cast.

[@donaldhorton5362]

thanks a lot for this video I loved it and it was very educational God Bless you.

[@HawkeyeM]

No problem man!

[@strikecast6847]

Will Minnows work?

[@saul100sharingyoutubevideo9]

it is a sturgeon in your game check your baits and there are bottom feeder and to types of sturgeon the White and Green sturgeon

[@sharkeez5522]

It would be cool if you could use shad and minnows you catch for bait

[@HawkeyeM]

Yeah, I agree!

[@logandixon6207]

Omfg it worked! Thank you!! 😭💞

[@notdrastic6528]

First shot with spawn sack thank you

[@NateZ48]

Got 1st place in a competition because of this video thanks

[@HawkeyeM]

No problem. When I made this video, NO one had made any videos on the American Shad in Neherrin. If you don't know where to look and what bait to use, they are difficult to locate!

[@NateZ48]

Hawkeye M ya i could not hook into one for anythimg

[@ronniejones7436]

Can the American shad be caught on am minnows

[@HawkeyeM]

I have caught them on a number of things, but I believe small minnows was one of them.

[@macokizlong14]

U have to pe spoiled to use shrimps as bait in real life :)

[@didgelzp5551]

Thank you this video helped soo much xD

[@HawkeyeM]

No problem. Believe it or not, I was the first to showcase where and how to catch the shad at Neherrin!

[@didgelzp5551]

Nice xD we're lovin your videos :) a friend and I just started playing a couple of weeks ago :p keep up the good work :)

[@brunosousa1977]

Amazing . Still working

[@HawkeyeM]

Yeah, it took me a long time to find the best location, place, and method for catching those guys!

[@joestanley2240]

What version is this

[@american_chevy616]

If not shrimp what else could I use?

[@HawkeyeM]

Sometimes they will go for crawfish cut

[@mrsspiritwolf]

small minnows, natural eggs and spawn sack, preferred lures are spinners, shads, grubs, worms and tubes.

[@wingsdestiny3693]

Hey I'm just across the river from you

[@HawkeyeM]

Cool! Are you in Louisville?

[@wingsdestiny3693]

No I'm in chapmanville right now

[@jamesreighard7253]

Question hawkeye is the unique walleye still in NY if it is plz try to catch it also I sent a friend request in the game John4130 lvl 19

[@HawkeyeM]

I have heard that it was removed, but it may have been just a rumor. I was also told the Unique Bluegill had been removed, but you saw that they do exist! I will do some experimentation and see what I can find!

[@jamesreighard7253]

Thanks for looking into that

[@imthatkidgamer652]

do the Shad bite on lures?

[@HawkeyeM]

+imthatkid gamer Not in NC. I am testing that in Michigan.

[@tannerpadgett3649]
