Making All Natural SwimBait on the RiverBank

[@SoCalStyles]

I'll be honest I have been watching your stuff for years... and I don't fish. I don't eat fish, but I like watching your videos every week or when ever they appear. I told my cousin yesterday you remind me a bunch of watching Bob Ross, you sorta start off showing us a plan/blank canvas and than by the end there is a bait with happy trees and fluffy clouds. You're good stuff to watch.

[@djsoutdoors50]

I finally got my first airbrush and let me say I’ve been binge watching your videos lol. Picking up as much information as possible. They are very helpful! Been a subscriber for like two or three years but still rewatch your videos all the time

[@TheNeuteredCat1]

Sweet bro! Keep at it. I been wanting to make my own bait for a while now idk what type to make.

[@204_mod_shop]

Hey dj's baits! I've been looking into a couple brands of air brush kits and I can't really come up with what I'm trying to find. Is there a mix between hvlp and an air brush gun? Just something with a bit bigger of a holding can , and adjustable fan settings, I'm wanting something like this for small projects so I don't have to use a hugr 800ml mixing cup on a regular sized hvlp 1.0 mm

[@MichaelGile19]

@@TheNeuteredCat1 I found a top water walking bait to be a very beneficial bait for understanding the motion to the ocean

You are definitely one of the most creative bait makers on the internet

[@scathelocke]

Wait, there’s other bait makers on the internet?! I guess I ruined the rest of them for myself by starting with Marling Baits…

[@jemnotjim]

I think the giant shad would be an awesome lure build in the future. Those eyes were dope 🤌

[@bobbyhempel1513]

Yes make it look just like the real one; bite marks and all

[@day9791]

@@bobbyhempel1513 that's a fantastic idea, I really hope he does this.

[@benjaminneumann3687]

It’s a goldeye. Ugly fish, but really delicious smoked 🙌🏼

[@loganstebbins5845]

Its a big goldeye actually :)

[@lthomas987]

I love it when the wire bending pliers I sent appear. Makes me smile every time! I love the river bank builds.

[@davidelliott8324]

Fun Facts! This is helpful, not snarky: that giant shad is a Mooneye, also called a tooth herring. Not closely related to shad or herring, it's a prehistoric family of fish. Cool catch, they like to be in current seams and eddies.

[@dawsonlutz2971]

Came here to say the same except that looked more like a goldeye to me.

[@davidelliott8324]

@@dawsonlutz2971 a quick Google search says you're the right one! I've only ever caught Mooneye, and everything looks like a hammer when all you have are nails. The main feature that seems to separate them is whether the dorsal fin starts before or after the anal fin. After= Goldeye.

[@dawsonlutz2971]

@@davidelliott8324 thats the only sure way. For one thay size with two yellow eyes you can be pretty sure. They get a fair bit bigger than mooneye.

[@walleyehunter3652]

just wanted to add another fun fact about this mooneye v. goldeye situation. the eyes are one way of telling, mooneye being more a silver/gold eye with an ovalish pupil and gold eye are solid gold with a round pupil. the other is a mooneyes dorsal fin is either ahead or inline with the anal fin and a goldeyes dorsal fin is behind the anal gland.

[@514fishing_official]

@@dawsonlutz2971 Goldeye!

[@TheValerhu]

Hi Nate super happy for another riverside build. Two ideas: Paint scheme of an Australian snapper, with the bright blue spots they have as juveniles. Secondly making a bait in the shape of a dusky Flathead (another Aussie fish).

[@PureKrudd]

Hey buddy, that first fish was a goldeneye! They make for great catfish bait, pretty well known for having teeth on their tongue. Great content as always, greetings from overseas deployment!

[@rcnorthernyeti5423]

yah thats what I thought it was a goldeye aswell. don't look like any shad I've seen

[@brandonO1995]

Goldeye *. Goldeneye is a duck species :D

[@benjaminneumann3687]

Definitely goldeye. They are delicious if you smoke them!

[@kiwi_comanche]

Stay safe brother. ♠️

[@matthewhostler7354]

Also known for shitting everywhere when you catch them lol

[@mikewittig3212]

One of the things I love about the riverbank build is they don’t come too often. Keep up the hard work nate.

[@kevincharles1983]

You have one of the most organic creative channels on KZbin. I can only imagine how many people you've inspired to explore their artistic abilities

[@FrugalFlyRodder]

I mixed my tungsten with 25% baking soda. Before using it each time, I will shake the container well. The baking soda encapsulates the tungsten and cures quickly with the super glue.

[@leephillips3776]

Sunday coffee and a Marling video . Nice way to start the day. Almost needed 3d glasses for the materials going into the bag. Thought I was gonna catch a pokey thing in the eye. I know you are never going to make a Beetlejuice sandworm and I have come to terms with it.

[@jamesmurry7303]

Your skills at river builds has improved since the first one. Which is one of my favorite one watch.

[@joshuabaros2379]

I think for all the inspiration that Nate has given us, we should all submit some Lures to Nate and who ever he picks out is the best, could win a free guest appearance on his channel. Keep up the hard work and creativity Nate. Always love you videos.

[@brightbkh07]

I watch every video you make all the way through and love every minute of them. Then later I watch them when I can’t fall asleep and your voice and the way you talk in these relaxes me so much I fall asleep halfway through every time! Not saying your videos are boring, just that they totally take my mind off stress and calm my nerves so much! You are my favorite KZbinr by far!!!

[@Ella-ss1ty]

When I see marlin baits in my notifications I know its time to relax

[@Brandonedwardwalsh]

what a great way to start my Sunday. thanks marling. happy times on the water this year.

[@Bowfishin]

Congrats on the goldeneye! My favorite catfish bait. Would make a sick lure

[@braxtonlinzmeier7932]

Finally another riverbank build. I’ve waited so long!!!

[@hiddentruth1982]

the river bank builds. ahh I've missed those.

[@williamparker8318]

Never seen a giant shad before. Good riverbank build. Those 3D molds are very unique. Could be the next best thing. Cheers.

[@BornIn1500]

Well, it's not a shad. It's a Goldeye

[@b.g.7381]

You can catch shad that big down here in North Carolina on the Neuse River mid March to April. White shad or Hickory shad. I've caught Hickory shad 2-4 lbs. They will be full of row and they go up river to spawn and put up a helluva fight. Light rod 8lb. test and that is fun fishing.

[@thepassionateangler4559]

You should just make yourself a tackle bag/box of the tools and gear you would need. Like the pokey thing🤣, super glue baking soda. Hooks, feathers. Maybe even bring the wife so she can tie a feathered treble while you make the lure. Love vids keep em coming 👍🏼

[@stevelemmon5405]

The perfect river lure was nice but the gardening was the bonus I was look for, thanks for the content as always!

[@brycejones9220]

Definitely agree with the others that have already said it. Replica shad / goldeneye needs to happen! Another great video.

[@TheSaunaViking]

I have been waiting for a riverbank build. 👍 Side note: Your “pokey thing” is called a scratch awl. 😊 Also don’t forget to plug in the lead pot… Oh wait never mind! 😁

[@Professional_Foaming]

Coming back after a few years and I'm glad to see this style of video back !!!!!!!

[@MrMiguella]

You should do a monthly mailbag video, show the stuff people send or catch a fish on a subscriber's lure. The more we can interact with the master the better

[@codyosborne9307]

I just adore your personality and wish I had a friend like you. I literally have no friends that fish.

Pretty sure that "shad" was a goldeye. They make really good bait! Nice video!

[@MrMetalmaniac1969]

I'm amazed every time I watch one of your videos. wish I had even a fraction of your artistic and creative abilities. BTW, what you caught was not a Shad, it was a Goldeye. Fun facts for the day. They very closely resemble shad, and come from a family whose name means "shad like", but are a different species of fish all together.

[@billsherk9198]

Just wanted to say that I really enjoy your videos they make me laugh and I learn. If you ever come to SO. California let’s go fishing

[@shortround889]

Next time, make a little pool by building a rock circle. This way you won’t need to worry about it floating away into the abiss 😝. Love how you can make a lure anywhere!!!

Amazing I watched it as soon as I woke up this morning

Those 3d printed cranks look VERY interesting. I'd love to know how they hold up being fished hard. Your bank bait was pretty sweet too. It's a shame the clear coat flake was so dense.

[@dylandegenhardt4781]

I tend to use smaller diameter wire and it also won’t catch in the main drill hole. The key is to put the wire in the pinchers at a slight angle as they close. Works like a charm👍

Nate.. Great video as always and thanks for the plug. Glad you like the baits you actually made a few "Offishal" as I haven't even fished with some of those yet. I did test those square bills to make sure they ran straight but it shouldn't have been wet still which probably means I didn't get enough clear coat on it (I was trying to make the deadline but we won't talk about that though with rule# 1 and all. :) Anyway enjoy the baits and keep the great content coming.

[@Srulio]

For a riverside build, a 2 screw wooden clamp could be almost as good as a vise (that you were missing) AND you could bring pre-twisted wire hardware AND then use a hand-powered eggbeater drill instead of cordless drill. Probably less total weight to shlep. BTW Well done on the tungsten. Ecological brownie points for you today!

Pokey thing= awl. Lol Holy smokes!! Fin is getting so big man! It’s been wild watching these videos through the years and watching your babies grow.
