Jerkbait Fishing for Bass in my Jon Boat (Conquered the COLD Front)

[@Beartaria_kayak_angling]

Debo - thanks for being one of the few unpretentious people on KZbin. You have taught me so much, you have me laugh, and you've helped me to understand myself better as an angler through your advice and your realistic assessments of your own abilities. You have a gift and I appreciate that you share it with us.

[@DEBOSFishing]

That means more to me than you could understand! The thabks goes all to you for watching and supporting man! I'm just a dude who likes to fish and share my experiences with y'all. It's humbling to hear things like this 👊

[@datruthhurts3984]

Well said my friend.I think you articulated in words many of our thoughts

[@dacefarrell9772]

agreed

[@andrewwolf4963]

Me - i own 20 jerk baits of more Also Me- I’ve never caught a fish on a jerkbait lol😂😂😂😂

[@woute5490]

Lol sounds familiar. I always think I’m fishing them the wrong way.

[@DEBOSFishing]

I'm the same way with these big glide/swim baits! We gotta change that and take ONLY those out some trip!

[@andrewwolf4963]

DEBO'S Fishing yeah man i agree. i been telling myself for two years that i need to leave my soft plastics at home and just focus on swimbaits / top water/ jerks/ cranks and jigs . I rely way too much on chatterbaits and worm/creature/craw/beaver baits

[@andrewwolf4963]

DEBO'S Fishing you’d think i’d know better as every single PB i’ve ever had was on a spinnerbait, jig or whopper plopper

[@chrislehman9735]

Man I need a Deboat. Bank fishing is rough right now.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Dude...it's tough as heck. All the normal spots are filled with folks!

[@chrislehman9735]

@@DEBOSFishing oh I feel ya bro

[@LeatherNeck1833]

I was once told, "You can tell if the crankbait you're throwing is what they want by which hook they get. Back hook means 'sorta because I'm hungry', middle means 'let's dance', and front hook means 'I'll be your huckleberry'". Great feeshin' Debo!

[@tdeeb6359]

Love it!!!!!!! 😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

[@DEBOSFishing]

Hahaha that's good! Yep, hitting the front and it's game on!

[@franswiegmans9586]

Hey mr Debo. The one thing i like most about the vids you make is that you are just so down to eart, no ego, no brand boosting crap just a guy that loves to fish. Your opinion on things is something i value because you give honest and true feedback. Plus your sense of humor and one liners are just awesome. Please don't ever stop making video's, looking forward to see Debo in a wheelchair fishing for the dinks at some old age home pond... Keep the lines thight. Frans from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@DEBOSFishing]

Hahaha I hope I can still fish when I'm that old! Thanks for watching man, that means a lot to me 👊

[@yakangler419]

Debo- you’re missing out on your merch payday! You need to make a 70’s style Tshirt with a sparkling decal that reads “Debo Dink” ... the public won’t get it, but that’s the point. It would be sweet

[@glassmw9823]

I’ve said this too :)

[@tdeeb6359]

I am currently working on a shirt design. I’m also trying do embrace the dink and Tackle Junkies. Think it’s gonna have to be 2 different shirts. But who here “doesn’t” need another fishing shirt??????

[@DEBOSFishing]

Thanks man! I've had a few folks ask for some. I need to look into that!

[@heliofish1014]

DEBO: loses one nice bass "son of a biscuit" Me who can't even catch a single fish for 3 months "Bruh"

[@DEBOSFishing]

Lol I'm sorry man, I guess it is about perspective!

[@poststalone1496]

I haven’t gotten on a good jerkbait bite in months. When it works, it works wonders though. Won’t be able to use a jerkbait on my trip tomorrow either. Going to a slough that has heavy hyacinth mats. Frogs and punching for me.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Thats very true. When you find one, you usually find a few!

[@jonboattommy3421]

Just a pointer. If you say “Boom goes the dynamite “ during the hook set they never get off. A high kick is needed for the larger fish every now and then.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Man...I needed to do a full reverse roundhouse kick to save that biggin...🤦‍♂️😭

[@andrewpisanofishing9545]

Maybe you should do an in-depth how to fish a jerkbait video. 🤷‍♂️

[@DEBOSFishing]

I'm not a pro with the jerkbait but I could share the tips that have helped me!

[@mre4875]

"Hmmm, how well do you have that hook? Well let's see" (slams it into the side of the boat) Not sure why but that made me chuckle. 👍🍺🎣

[@DEBOSFishing]

Lol a few folks pointed that out. My boat flipping skills are sub par 🤣

[@nelly9845]

What model of trolling motor do you have on the DEBOat? I'm looking to get one for mine.

[@paoslee]

Jerkbaits has been my best lure so far this year. Before this year ive had no luck on the jerkbait. Loaded up on a few vision 110s and flashpointers. My go to jerkbaits. Also got me a MB destroyer 110 special because the bite has been awesome.

[@josha.6544]

do you throw them from the shore, I'm afraid to throw mine lol but I feel like they catch fish.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Nice, those will definitely catch em! Thanks for watching 👊

[@paoslee]

I throw my megabass 110 on my kayak/boat and from shore i use lucky craft flash pointers.

[@BassGeek]

Jerkbait, topwater, man those are two of my favorite ways to catch'em.

[@DEBOSFishing]

It was a fun trip! I'm not great with the jerkbait but it was definitely the deal there!

[@robertbain2435]

Jerkbait...$12. Losing count of how many fish you’ve caught...priceless.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Hahaha well said my friend 👊👊👊

[@bofa83]

I can't remember if you've ever said in a video, but what's the largest bass you've caught? IT WAS FINALLY MY CALL OUT!!!!!

[@DEBOSFishing]

My PB is a 7, nothing huge. Thanks for watching and supporting man 👊

[@leannemotley8982]

Good, good day!!!! Once it starts ain't no way we can walk away! I had never thrown a jerk bait before so I bought one of Walmart's Ozark Trails jerks. Took it to a pond and they could not get enough!!! So fun. I have bought the 6th Sense Provoke but have not fished it yet. Hopefully, tomorrow after work!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Nice! Awesome to hear you're finding some on the jerkbait! Thanks for watching 👊

[@odestog8903]

ALWAYS the best! Thanks DEBO! 👊🏻 If it weren't for the dinks I'd wonder if I was on the right channel lol 😉

[@DEBOSFishing]

The dinks are frequent around here 🤣👊 Appreciate you watching my friend!

[@dgs.creates]

Man..if I only had some sort of floating device. Nice viDebo...minus knocking the fish into the boat🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️😣

[@DEBOSFishing]

It is huge getting off of the bank right now. So much pressure from other shore anglers! Yeah, my boat flipping skills are a bit rusty 🤦‍♂️🤣

[@kevinfranklin635]

I love your attitude. You're informative and entertaining without being a cocky jerk. Good job and thanks.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Appreciate that a lot, Kevin! I'm just a dude who loves to fish 👊👊👊

[@treylawrence8152]

Debo--is that rod you were throwing the popper on the Sellus? If so, how do you like that rod? I'm wanting to upgrade my spinning setup but on a limited budget and I keep seeing really good reviews of the Sellus for the price.

[@DEBOSFishing]

It is the sellus! So far I like it a lot!

[@ericdelfosse6089]

Dude it’s amazing the way you catch fish ALL the time. Do you ever get skunked? You crack me up with your commentary though.

[@DEBOSFishing]

I've been skunked a lot lately! It has been some tough fishing. All the people out has made it tough!

[@christopherwiggins1705]

Have jerk baits never tied one on.... perhaps I find inspiration here..... hummmm

[@DEBOSFishing]

Heck yeah, give them a go!

[@its_not_me999]

Top water is my favorite, frogs and poppers are so much fun. I've started using a jerkbait this year, caught a few Debo dinks but it is also very fun.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yeah, Topwater is hard to beat in my book!

[@tx9cuda]

Looked like a lot of fun. It's amazing how ambitious the smaller ones can be.

[@DEBOSFishing]

No kidding, they were smacking it with bad intentions!

[@alfy7729]

Awesome stuff man! I’ll take the numbers over size any day!! 👊👊

[@DEBOSFishing]

I'll take a numbers day like that any time!👊

[@tammys2552]

Hey! Trimmed the beard... looks good! Thanks as always for the fun videos

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yep, had to trim it up! Thanks for watching 👊

[@robhill8197]

Hey, at the end of the day you don't need to catch 25lbs in 3 fish to have a good day. Them dinks'll do just fine. Also did you notice the one you caught on your hand paint seemed to hit it higher towards that red bill. Interesting.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yeah, I'll take numbers days like that ANYTIME! Hmmm....may be on to something 🤔

[@joegross5902]

If I may ask sir, what reel were you using to throw the jerk bait? Thank you and another great video. Stay safe and God Bless you and your loved ones.

[@DEBOSFishing]

I was using the Lew's Custom light slp. Thank you sir, appreciate you watching!

[@MrCandunc]

Great work Mr. D! Love your vids....tnx

I’m gonna have that stuck in my head at work tomorrow. Pop, pop pause

Haha I thought about it a couple times after editing! 🤣👊

[@jimmyengland3724]

Jerk bait is my favorite type of fishing, I have caught a lot of bass and the "biggest crappie I have ever seen".

[@DEBOSFishing]

Nice! They are fun to throw. Especially when you get on a whole school like that!

[@osculum666]

Awesome day! Thinking about pulling the jerkbait out today so we will see

[@DEBOSFishing]

Nice! Hope you found some on it!

[@upstateangler9575]

The jerkbait has been the only thing I can get bit on up here . Water temps in the high 40s still and fish are stuck . We have a warming trend so cant wait to be able to get bit on chatterbait or something else lol. Hope all is well

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yeah, jerkbait is killer like that. I'm ready for some stable temps here!

[@thechoctawangler7270]

Awesome!! Love it when they are munching! I just had a similar day with the topwater popper.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Nice! A day like that with a popper is a TON of fun!

[@jira6011]

I own a lot of jerk baits an never use them... guess I’ll try them off the kayak🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@DEBOSFishing]

On the yak is a perfect time to throw them!

[@southerncastin2552]

What rod and reel were you using for the jbait and what else would you use this combo for?

Thanks man, it was a great time! Thanks for watching 👊

[@reelfishing002]

Thanks for explaining that lure, I’ve always either jerk it all the way to the boat or just keep reeling because my arms were so tire from the previous action. And now I know , you vary it and you pause.

[@tdeeb6359]

Really helped me too. 👍🏼

[@DEBOSFishing]

Yeah, mess around with the retrieve. Once the water warms up you can pop it all the way back. With the suspended jerkbait it will come to a dead stop. That's often when they smack it!

[@duanecovert2885]

It's a great feeling to catch a fish on what you created. Tight lines

[@DEBOSFishing]

It's a very cool thing! Thanks for watching man 👊

[@CallahanHarry44]

Nice Debo! Anytime you catch that many fish its fun! Just want to say nice beard trim. You look human again. :)

[@DEBOSFishing]

I'll take a day like that anytime! Thanks man, it definitely needed to be cut!

[@CallahanHarry44]

@@DEBOSFishing Ya, and a lot less to catch a treble hook in. I had a buddy with a beard like yours before the trim and sometimes when he shot his bow he rolled it up in the string! You would hear a scream when he release the arrow. :)

Now that is how its done BRO!🔥👊👍

[@DEBOSFishing]

Thank you brother. Hope you're doing well!

Jerk bait was working it. I bet it's even better when you catch them on fish you basically design. What combo were you using for the jerk bait?

Definitely can be a bait that catches a lot of fish! Tight lines my man 👊

[@DEBOSFishing]

Was a damn fun morning in my book!

[@azscout9071]

Got to love a good jerkbait bite! I've had a lot of luck with the cheap vision 110 clones. Those provokes are good jerkbaits as well. Keep them coming brother!

I was just out on the kayak this morning. hooked onto a couple nice size Donkey on the square bill. Also managed to stick myself with the barbs. Glad to see you you so your thing watch and learn from the master.

[@DEBOSFishing]

Nice! I haven't found any donks this year. Hopefully soon! Keep on catching them and thanks for watching 👊

[@Rooster0529]

Debo, I usually watch fishing videos to learn something, not to just watch people fish, but I'll have to admit watching you have a great day on the water is inspirational. We have had some lousy weather here in MI and the bite has not been great. What did I learn? 1. If you're thinking about it just go! 2. Try different baits and even different colors. 3. Try shallow and try deep. 4. You need a bigger anchor. Love your vids bro!

[@DEBOSFishing]

Hahahahah yes, I do indeed need a bigger anchor 😂👊

[@gregphelps1989]

Makes for a fun day catching em like that

[@DEBOSFishing]

I get it out once it warms up. It has a leak so I don't like to get soaked when it's cold. I'd get it out more but at of times just because of time.

[@synaptik111]

Nice! I'd love to try more jerkbait fishing, but the water around here is a little too dirty for one to be effective most of the time. TBH I wish there were more fish who's appetites overloaded their brains!! 😂 😂 😂 Tight lines D! 🐟 🐟 🐟 🎣
