I WAS NOT Mentally PREPARED For ALL This BOAT TRAFFIC!! || Lake Gaston Bass Fishing

[@GunnFishTV]

Does your local lake get hammered with boat traffic in the summer?? If so, what lake?? #boattraffic

[@ethanrobertson9341]

Lake Austin man it’s the worse.

[@gregunderwood5566]

Chesdin

[@deltabass9697]

I'm in the Mississippi delta Lake Ferguson holds about 50 tournaments a year we got tug boat traffic oxbow lake connected to the Mississippi River

Chesdin after 10 forget it

[@ryanhotaling3959]

Lake anna is horrible from memorial day to labor day

[@Mark91486]

Coming out of Lizard Creek right after dark last summer. Turned left to head towards the dam and almost ran right in to a pontoon, not a light on the boat.... When I told him his lights were off, he mumbled a few words, put his beer down and fumbled around trying to find the switch. I love Gaston for all it has to offer but it has changed a ton in the past 10 years. Used to love night fishing out there, paranoid to do it now. throw a couple of those spot in the live well, you wont be disappointed! Tore them up a few weeks ago, I had heard they were good eating so we kept a few. One of the better fish I've had!

[@GunnFishTV]

No doubt they are delicious!!

[@Army_Outdoors_88N]

precisely why i love my little 73 acre lake on my Army base. Never crowded and idle speed only!! Caught my PB out of it a couple weeks ago. 4.86lbs!!!

[@bfangler8393]

Had a tournament up there mid last month, and YEAH. BOAT TRAFFIC.......... and then a little more boat traffic.

[@jasonsmith2439]

We were up there this past Memorial Day weekend and it was literally a circus lol. I wish they would ban all wake boats and jet skis. Never seen anything like it before in my life and I have lived in the area all my life unfortunately

[@ChrisFerrara154]

Were coming down Friday for a week of vacation to Gaston/Bracey area, Can't wait to get back down there.

[@GunnFishTV]

I'm going back Wednesday!

[@ChrisFerrara154]

@@GunnFishTV Give me a shout if your at Gaston between the 11th and 18th.

[@scalesandtailsoutdoors]

i have done well on Gaston with the club i used to fish with, but your right about boat traffic. i will say you have never seen boat traffic like we have on Lake St clair. lol

[@GunnFishTV]

I bet it's insane there!

[@alanmiller7157]

Great video, summer time lake Gaston you looking for punishment and that reel blowing up that do it lol ,, yes sir time to go to the skinny water

[@michaelmetz9198]

One lake in Kenna WV I looked behind me there was a caravan behind me a circus lol

[@alanmiller7157]

Yes I fish lake Marion on Santee cooper a lot and the boat traffic gets stupid crazy, like you said theses boaters will run you over , here I can get in the stump trees or swamps and get away from a lot of it but Gaston there no we’re to hide .

[@wesnewman6708]

fish have been in the grass their but the bigger ones in 15-20 feet of water on drop shots during the day but shallow on frogs later in the day or early morning.

[@GunnFishTV]

Yea I had planned to fish until dark but storms ruined it for me unfortunately. I hadn't been there since winter so I just wasn't mentally prepared for the boat traffic. Those small lakes spoiled me lol

[@Lray4x4]

Don't worry I wouldn't throw the chatterbait either, I can never get bit on one.

[@GunnFishTV]

Wait until my next video. We smoke em on it!! Lol

[@GunnFishTV]

That was a mess though

[@Lray4x4]

@@GunnFishTV I am glad they work good for you, I have used them several times in the past few years and always end up switching to a swim jig or spinnerbait instead. I have about a dozen chatterbaits and have never caught a fish on any of them LOL.

@@Lray4x4 it'd not my favorite lure but some days they are awesome

[@chandlermanning5538]

Man I just went with a buddy this past Saturday out of the pea hill ramp them boats out there were crazy but we wacked them in that shore grass and draggin jigs ! Shout out from the 757 too!

I had a good weekend at lake Chesdin this pass weekend. the blazin worm work good for me with the filthy frog.

[@GunnFishTV]

I gotta get back out there!

[@BassDudeFishn]

What about Kerr Lake AKA Buggs Island? Any better than Lake Gaston?

[@fishcacher7438]

Kerr is much better, bigger lake and a lot less maniacs!

[@GunnFishTV]

Kerr is alot better than Gaston. Much larger lake and no vacation homes on it

[@nickallen9583]

Kevin you might want to go to the diamond shape drop shop weight works really good in grass,wood .

[@timburch8211]

Tough day buddy,but that's how gaston can be. Kept fighting until mother nature said go home Kevin, gotta love it,good job man keep up the great work

Heck yea man congrats!!!

[@leecanady6749]

Great Footage, I know exactly what you mean about boat traffic and getting of the water.

[@gregunderwood5566]

This time of year i get to the water about a hour before daylight and fish till 10 or 11 or till icant stand it or till i see the first wakeboard boat then call it a day 😂😂😂

[@GunnFishTV]

Haha that was the plan on this particular day too but had family stuff come up

[@Richard-cz1vz]

Another awesome video bud, can’t wait to see the next one 👍

[@robertw.2219]

95 degrees and boat traffic. I'm just not that mad at 'em anymore.

[@DblTapTV]

I made the mistake of trying to fish Gaston over the Memorial Day weekend... between the ski boats and waverunners.. yikes

[@danielmarcy6872]

That was a busy day indeed, I had my Ranger tied up to the dock of the first spot you hit in the video. We decided the boat traffic was a little too much so we put the bass boat up and broke out the seadoos 😂

[@GunnFishTV]

I saw ur boat I believe. It was tied up to the dock. Red or burgundy with metalflake?

[@danielmarcy6872]

Yessir that’s the one

[@ChrisGnarley]

Hey that's fishing. I enjoy these videos too,every outing is different. Been hot af here.

[@blakeherrmann9784]

Got to take the good and the bad .hey you got some fish that's awesome keep up the great work thanks again for another great video. Late.

[@waynef.8158]

It pains me to know all my friends that are in some sort of bass fishing competition end up spending $60-70k on a boat, $10-15k in electronics and they all end up 15 ft from shore…drifting in the current with a 300hp outboard and 47 poles all rigged up. God bless America and our obsession with chasing fish. Cause pussy is sooo much more expensive!

[@GunnFishTV]

[@michaelcorleone314]

You made the best of the conditions, I give you kudos for even going to Gaston....ughhh! Just out of curiosity, are you using Duckett rods, and if so...what's your opinion of them?

[@GunnFishTV]

Yes my flipping and jig rods are Ducketts. I have used them for years. I really like the action of them and never had any issues

[@michaelcorleone314]

@@GunnFishTV Appreciate your thoughts of them....looking forward to my purchase of one. Look forward to your next video.

@@michaelcorleone314 get a Silverado or Micro Magic. Stay away from the Green Ggost which is the lower end rod. I have one for my Arig but it is a much heavier rod than the others

the biggest bass i ever caught in my life happened during a backlash lol i spent probably spent 30 seconds picking out the tangle and finally started reeling up the slack and i thought i was hung up pulled and he pulled back lol 7.9 pound bucket head lol

[@GunnFishTV]

Heck yea man!!

[@Kilo1Nation]

You and me both hate boat traffic brother. I don't mind sharing the lake, but people can be inconsiderate. Can be frustrating!

[@GunnFishTV]

Yea I kept out the part where a pontoon almost hit me as I was fishing the shoreline. The verbiage wasn't KZbin friendly

[@fishcacher7438]

Lake Gaston has the most inconsiderate and mannerless boat owners Ive ever encountered. Straight Maniacs.

[@GunnFishTV]

I agree with you there 100 percent....I honestly have no clue how it's not more boating accidents out there

[@fishcacher7438]

@@GunnFishTV every weekend someone runs up on a boat dock, an island, even Eatons Ferry which is hard to miss. If you are out on that lake Iin summer at night, You are putting your life at risk. It’s a disgrace!

[@GunnFishTV]

@@fishcacher7438 definitely true. I've fished there at night several times and have encountered several drunk boaters. It's crazy

Not mentally prepared on Memorial Day weekend? I’d get it if you were fishing 5am to 9 or 10 but the middle of the day on a major recreational lake🤷🏻‍♂️

This wasn't memorial day weekend lol. This was the weekend before that. I wouldn't touch that place on memorial day weekend!!
