Fishing Riprap...Secrets I’ve Learned Over The Past 40 Years...

[@ricks5606]

Really like these "on the water" videos! Thanks

[@jordanwooldridge7784]

Randy your channel has definitely become one of my favorite fishing channels, I really like the variety of content from the instructional stuff to the controversial conversations it's all awesome. There isn't a whole lot of genuine people out there, but you sir are definitely one of them, thank you for taking the time to make these videos for us.

[@MotorjockMike]

Randy your videos seem like those that show how magic is done...I sure some folks aren't happy you revealing secrets.

[@murraymoore5662]

A masterclass as always. My favourite structure.

[@bradleyrussell1973]

Man this is better than seminars! Thank you so much, Randy!

[@rcummings1984]

Rip rap is always one of my go to spots whether is a river or a lake it's always a productive spot. In the winter and early spring it holds a little heat and the fish really like to hold on the spots pretty regularly. Thanks Randy you're awesome Brother!

[@mikethomas784]

I'm digging out my top water rod while watching this video. Randy these on the water breakdown are awesome!! Thank you for everything you do

[@jameswhittington2318]

Randy, I have fished rivers and lakes with rip rap since I was a 5 or 6 year old boy sitting on the back of my dads boat. I’ve caught the most and biggest fish of my fishing career. Everything you said is absolutely correct. All of your videos are awesome. Thank you for the information and for being such a genuine man and professional fishermen. You are a testament of what fishermen should be like.

[@rich5916]

This was great! More of these breakdowns of different spots please

[@ericwalker4803]

Randy these on the water deals you have done in the last couple days are excellent. Nobody on youtube is doing it quite like this.

[@ArkansasBadBoy]

This video is just what I needed. Here in northeast Arkansas, I live near a lake that has 3 shallow flats and the rest is rip rap and there are never any big bass caught, but always seeing smaller ones facing the bank where the rip is. I bet all the quality fish are doing as you said and suspending off the rip rap. The water is also clear almost all the time so the fish are probably much deeper than I realized as well.

[@randycooper2046]

Randy, I could tell instantly that you were on Pickwick Lake at McFarland Park, Oneal Bridge and old railroad tussle in the background. Hope to make it to the tournament this fall, maybe meet you!

[@markmoretzfishing]

Randy I really enjoy your insight on your video’s great job 👍

[@papaduck2443]

Randy, great great video brother! That was so informative and well done. Sounds crazy but just the simple act of using your finger to point to exactly what you were talking about made it all very easy to understand. Great job man! Keep em coming like this! Videos on the water explaing how to fish different areas that hold bass are absolute gold!

[@danielgoggans5119]

Dude I fish that marina all the time. It’s so cool to see you and Florence. I wish I would’ve known you were in the area.

[@jonespkp]

These are the most informative "How to" videos.

[@normanham8566]

Great stuff Randy. Thanks!

[@mikeroberts9792]

Pickwick has some awesome areas for rip rap fishing. My buddy caught an 8.5 100 yards from the point you discussed. I love the Wick!!

[@bigredbass7898]

Excellent video Randy. Thats a lot of what we fish here because theres not a lot of structure in our mostly mud bottom lakes. This is very helpful. Cant wait for the next one on riprap.

[@JimGLopez67]

Awesome information Randy Thanks 👍

[@johngalt3568]

Thanks Randy: Informative video.

[@jordanbyates]

My confidence always goes up when I get around rip rap. Anytime I fish a new lake that’s usually the first place I go to first thing in the morning. On my lakes I find, the majority of the time, they hang out where it meets the bottom regardless of depth and feed up.

[@treyferguson2965]

Good tip

[@ronniemitchell9221]

Another good video.... I like you mixing things up.... I like the variety of different styles of content, and different approaches to delivering it. There’s no doubt in my mind, that you could talk about bass fishing for days and days. LOL. Thanks for videos!

[@CBALLZ666]

I love fishing riprap. The dam on my home lake is a key spot I always hit every time on the lake. Especially in the evening when the sun is setting. Can get on a good jig bite or on the 1/4oz underspin with a 2.8” Keitech. Awesome video. Looking forward to seeing the next ones with specific baits and techniques for the riprap. 👍🏻🐟🎣💯👌🏻

[@jimkingsland1645]

Excellent video footage with corresponding informative detail. I’m watching this again and taking notes! Thank you for sharing your expertise and experience. Looking forward to more!

[@greghammett7894]

Funny, going to a lake with awesome rip rap today. Perfect timing, Randy! Thanks!

[@bassfishingchadhill]

Excellent, detailed breakdown...quality information!

[@martinford2496]

Thank you for the tips. Keep up the informative videos.

[@jeremypope9929]

Keep it up. I like the on the water video. Definitely

[@CK_Fishing_]

Good morning Randy. Really enjoy your videos and I always tune in before I go to work. I got the notifications on

[@Milehighsnake98]

Rip rap is one of my biggest weaknesses. I almost never catch fish on riprap even though I know they are there.

[@bradleyrussell1973]

I had the same trouble once. Try this, it made me much more confident in riprap. Take an entire day, shortly after spawn or prespawn. Fish nothing but riprap and observe EVERYTHING. Even those missed bites can tell you something. I’ll bet there are fish there, you just need to find out what they want. A couple of these trips and you’ll be making riprap your holeshot destination!

[@TheJTTaylor000]

That was a freak’n awesome video. Shared with all my fishing buddy’s. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@mikeanderson2447]

Keep up the good work Randy. Enjoying your videos. So many good tips & thoughts. 👍

[@hookshot2351]

Great insight Randy. Thank you.

[@lakecortes]

Superb. Awesome randy

[@TaekeHorneman]

Realy like this kind of video on the water. Thanks 👍

[@bobbymcfarland4386]

Thanks for another pc of helpful information

[@Ehoffman61]

Whoever disliked this fell walking on rip rap.

[@richardc8695]

Man, just another great video!

[@jamiehartzell5286]

Great video, great information will check out rip raps on my lakes

[@dustinpitts2741]

Good advice for sure thanks for sharing it

[@dong8307]

Well done Randy👍

[@duaneshearman4805]

awesome info i appreciate your videos

[@mikeharris130]

Love fishing rip rap, thanks for the tips.

[@jasonjones813]

Love how your on my home lake breaking down areas..This is great..Is rip rap better with moving baits or slow baits..I tend to wanna throw moving baits bouncing off the rocks..

[@FoolisH409]

Yep! Crankbait for me.

[@kweeks10045]

Good advice. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.

[@erichoffman2014]

really good video Randy-Thank you!

[@batfreak6897]

great one today Randy, thanks

[@ronhicks8193]

Wow Randy thank you fish on brother

[@kennethfieldsjr.968]

Good stuff Randy! I enjoy all of your videos and appreciate the info you give out! Can you do a video on finding good quality bass after they spawn and and still in transition back to deeper water. I see lots of videos posted on just catching bass in general post spawn. But nothing on targeting those big bass and quality tournament winning fish still.

[@ericholden5523]

You are the MAN! Thank you sir

[@ScruffyCityFishing]

We have tons of rip rap on our lakes here due to the abundance of limestone. I have a hard time figuring out what to fish. This will help greatly!

[@EliteNugz]

Saturday I caught three bigs on the rip rap. A 5,7 and 10lb bass. Good day. Especially for here in eastern ky.

[@paintergonefishing7933]

I thank on the water teaching is the way to teach good job

[@packwarriors]

appreciate the insights, much appreciated!

[@ChewinFat]

I’ve been having pretty good success throwing a speed worm style soft plastic around some rip rap lately. I need to work on my crank bait technique and lure selection I just don’t have confidence in it yet but hear a square bill can be magical on the rip rap.

[@owenOutdoors2]

Once you pick that square bill up you will never put it down

[@robertdyer2442]

Really enjoy this video which you answered my question but then it brought up like reservoirs with walls retaining how would you hit that

[@danham3344]

This was a great video Randy, Thanks! The only rip-rap on my local lakes are long stretches of Boulder size rock on the face of the dam. Have you found this kind can be productive?

[@iraregister7589]

On my lake, all those rip rap jetties where people bank fish have tons of man made brush piles all around them to attract crappie. They definitely attract bass as well.

[@joebrann4612]

For what it's worth, when braid first came out, I used it, and immediately noticed a lack of bites, my Uncle and I fished local ponds, and it was VERY obvious they could see it. The Fluorocarbon was the best as far as getting bites, and on giant fish also.

[@jeffniebanck6387]

Great stuff!!👍

[@wesleyklees4374]

Randy, since your on the Tennessee River system, talk specifics for this fishery, main river vs creeks etc..

[@CMDAVISs]

I know u can find somthing. Btw Randy , I was wondering why I have never seen bass fish at Sardis mississippi? I fished a st.jude tournament and there were very good weights and the lake is huge. I mean have you ever fished lake Sardis? We went when they were dropping the water and made preddy dark good fishing. Its a nice resivour. And by the way I caught my fish on rip rap at that time ! And it was 50 degree water lol

[@sbaner5]

Hey Randy, could you do a video on swim jig vs swim bait. When is one better than the other

[@markellenberg4111]

Have you noticed that sometimes fishing the bait with the current or against makes a big difference especially with different current speeds?

[@SSS51706]

Good stuff. You keep posting multiple videos per day and you will catch Johnny soon. 😁

[@emilianobanzi9432]

love that type of video !

[@MrJhara]

best of luck out there today!

[@bobbyreichert4533]

Hey Randy, hope your doing well Brah. How about fishing rip rap at night? Any insight on that? Really like these on the water videos!!

[@mr.skeptical3071]

Loving it!!!!

[@talarico_fishing]

I gotta stop watching these videos, gets me for like $50 every video 😂 love the vids!

[@gabrielhadad3130]

Lol, same thing

[@randyblaukatintuitive]

Lol

[@jonconner3019]

Hard to stay tight to the bank when blowing though, so what do you do then?

[@rich5916]

Please do a video on really dirty water. Like sub 6 inches of visibility. Pressured pond.

[@tombaker3813]

Randy it might be a lot to ask but could you do something on technique? Or is that too much to ask? Thanks

[@lufkin412]

What about rip rap that only goes into about a foot of water or so?

[@johnstrand2247]

Riprap is like docks. On a busy lake, the pressure is unbelievable. Ask anyone who lives on a lake. They are just like a McDonald's Drive thru at feeding time. Those fish have seen the same artificial so often that they just lay there and pout.

[@fishing_amy]

I always hit that riprap too

[@JayDavis81]

You could do a whole other video just on boat ramps. They can be a life saver looking for a final keeper.

[@treyferguson2965]

Especially when the water is colder, they hold alot of heat, and you can most time always catch a fish on boat ramps. I've fished tournaments before that ramps was my pattern man. Late winter early spring with a swim bait or square bill !!! Good to go. You can catch alot of retreads at alot of em too lol.

[@JayDavis81]

@@treyferguson2965 ya, I know of several tournaments that have been won in super tough conditions, just running boat ramps. Ben Matsubu on Texoma comes to mind. I think David Dudley had one but I can't remember which lake.

[@chrisunderwood2119]

Riprap on windy days = 🐋🐳

[@FoolisH409]

I like the rip rap on Rayburn by the dam but that part of the lake is WAY to pressured.

[@matthewc9965]

Rip rap builds the confidence if your lacking it

[@dougc7632]

Speaking of fishing structure, if you were going to fish an area that had the structure of Randy's bottom teeth, I'd recommend vertical jigging or maybe a drop shot to hit that gap. (I hope this makes his next viewer insult video.)

[@x--LeethaL--x]

PW has plenty rip rap
