I'm stuck on shore now at 77 yrs. old. Not safe in a boat or yak anymore. Still learn from every video. Please keep them coming,

[@papaduck2443]

Hey Jim, good for you! I wouldnt look at it as stuck on the shore. You are just mastering another way of fishing. When I was a kid I fished from the shore all the time and I always had so much fun and enjoyment. Fishing makes you feel like a kid again weather you are in a boat, kayak, or on shore. Get after it my friend and enjoy it. God bless you!

I’m loving the Florida videos! - Native Florida man here. 🎣💪🏼

Glad you like them!

[@Flukemaster]

Wow, thanks!

[@michaelburk9171]

Thanks, great advice. You stress perfectly rigging flukes so this might drive you crazy. But ive rigged flukes through the side where the nose and tail curve up a bit. The fluke will plane up and over cover and jump nose up on the jerk. But when you get it in to holes it can sink with a falling leaf action. This has worked for me in very shallow water. The weighless flukes barely make a noise when they land.

[@iancalame225]

So great to have Fluke back with frequent content. Great job and please keep it going!!!

[@stephensturgeon9310]

Man , I am addicted to the top water bite!

[@LukeNewmanlaw]

Hello Sir: Last week I watched this video and your grass lake video. They got me pumped up. Friday afternoon I rigged up some of your ideas, signed my kid out of school early and we hit the water together. We have a grass and pad-choked pond about 10min from the house. We didn't crush them but we found a good pattern. I am picking up some Gambler Big EZ baits today. Thank you for what you do.

[@Flukemaster]

Good stuff! Thank you.

[@envyfishing5676]

I’ve never fished pads but I just love watching flukemasters videos!

Missing out on

[@envyfishing5676]

@@jase_baits1702 I’m from Texas where pads don’t grow here, if there were I would definitely fish them

[@marciel3054]

This whole video was a Florida staple. Good stuff Gene. I have all those baits and setups in my arsenal, but I still struggle in the pads if they won't chase. It's hit or miss for me. Going to try and slow down my next outing.

[@dalereed658]

Glad you're producing new content, this was helpful. Much appreciated

[@bassfischer4273]

Superb reminders, thanks Gene! Tight lines.

[@bigredbass7898]

Great stuff Gene. Ill have to try this out. God bless.

[@stevesmith7164]

Good video Gene, thanks for the tips 👍

[@raygissendanner1476]

Any time!

Thx you Gene 🤜🤛

[@gemarimancingTV]

Nice spot Mantab yes keren

[@allenfowler1794]

Love the videos Gene. What happened to Friday Night Live?

[@TheAverageFisherman99]

I see that and immediately think a top water frog. SPRO. Bullfrog color. After that, a pit boss rigged weedless.

[@jwbattlejr7315]

Gene, when are you going to have a meet and greet in Florida

[@bryanwilliams4620]

Those pads aren't thick. I'd try spinner bait buzz buzz inline spinner in addition to what you suggested.

[@jamespetit1]

Nice video. What lakes have you been fishing lately ? I fished hernando and Henderson this week, been tough. All runts.Fishing the same baits too.

[@Flukemaster]

I’ve been fishing Jackson, K-ville, and Headwaters

Which rod power/action do you throw that weightless swim bait in those pads?

[@Flukemaster]

Medium Heavy Fast

[@tonyb-50]

@@Flukemaster dang, with 20+ flouro, I need at least 1/4 oz weight for that setup

[@darkzhd2766]

What reel is that at 1:45 - 1:50? Is it shimano?

[@GFWoodchuck]

Looks like a 13 fishing concept reel to me.
