Discovered your channel couple weeks ago , and man let me tell you that you are far one of the best fishing channel . Why because your video ia ao instructive and always learning with your video . Great job

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Thank you! That means a lot to me.

[@rodneychandler82]

​@Steve Rogers Outdoors totally agree with Benjamin 👍 . Enjoying your Videos , learning a lot from

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

@@rodneychandler82 thank you!

[@rodneychandler82]

@Steve Rogers Outdoors pleasure buddy . Looking forward to more of your Vid's 😁

[@williamyoung1087]

Such great detail and the underwater stuff is amazing, not sure anyone else does it like you do, thanks for all the advice, it’s awesome! You are a natural teacher

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Thank you!

[@lannyseals2084]

Great video! I found this pattern by mistake last year, I was fishing a lay down with a jig from my kayak and seen bass busting bait behind me and dropped the rod with the jig (line still in water) and tried the busting bass with other rod until the jig got hammered and rod almost went in and it got me looking further down the lay down from the bank and has been very productive since and told everyone that asked that I was catching them different ways because my waters are so over fished it's getting harder and harder to get any bites

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

That is awesome! Thank you for sharing this.

[@lannyseals2084]

@@SteveRogersOutdoors no prob Steve! Thanks for taking the time to help all of us become better angler's, much appreciated!

[@erokfishing]

This helps way more than you know. I’ve been doing terrible on lay downs but I’ve been throwing right up to the exposed areas.

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

I’m glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching.

[@daniels4227]

I cannot stress how much I love your videos. I've learned so much from you!

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Thank you! And I appreciate you watching. It means a lot to me.

[@LeeSHuff]

This Guy Should Have Way More Subscribers!!!

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Thanks! The channel keeps growing, but hopefully, soon it will really take off. I appreciate you watching.

[@learningtofish7036]

Thank you Steve

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

You’re welcome!

[@MrJohnB-qs6dp]

Awesome video!!!! you're right, we all want to throw to the tree closest to the bank when we should be as you say working the laydown backwards. Great tips and underwater coverage!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!!

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Thank you! It is definitely easy just to focus on what we see.

[@sonnygreen9698]

So true, my lake is pressured every weekend, what you said makes perfect sense, especially when your fishing behind others, you gotta be different in your approach and this is one way to accomplish that task. Great stuff man !!

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

It sure has helped me when there are a lot of others out there. It takes me a while to wrap my head around it and commit to it, but that first bite sure helps!

[@neilgwinn7378]

Another really cool video. Thanks buddy

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Thanks!

[@LowBrowFishing]

Your amazing underwater footage never ceases to amaze me! I lost one of favorite jigs just today fishing a submerged laydown way off the bank. They can be treacherous, for sure, but they can also be so rewarding!

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

I’m waiting to someday film one that has a pile of lures stuck on it. I know there are few that have what seems like half of my own tackle collection.

[@LowBrowFishing]

@@SteveRogersOutdoors Lol! I keep a huge treble hook and a spool of heavy nylon rope in my truck, just in case I find that log at the little lake that has more than $100 of my favorite lures snagged on it! I can never seem to find it, even when I think I'm right on top of it in the little boat! But when I do...I'm gonna hook that treble and rope to it and attach the other end to my truck! I'm getting those jackhammers back!!!

[@johnbutler307]

Steve thanks for your videos.

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

You’re welcome!

[@yuh8me]

Great advice I make that mistake of always throwing at the bank first gonna try this out. Thanks

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Good luck!

[@lainthdavidmartinez3974]

Great tips Mr Steve. I can't wait to apply this on my next trip.

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Good luck!

[@normanwiggins1320]

Yes that's me toss right up there in the sweet spot and didn't get bit must be nobody home. Wrong he's out there on the end of that lay down. Nice underwater footage of the bass traveling from on laydown to the next. I need to fish more between lay downs for sure

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Until I witnessed that I never spent as much time between them as a I now know I should. I learned a lot in that one.

[@Rooster0529]

Good grief! The way I position my boat I could have been drop shotting for those deep bass right beneath the boat. Something new to try this year. I love how you have video to support these concepts. It helps drive it home with us doubters.

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

The last Elite on Seminole was won drop shotting wood I believe. Some of those trees go out there a long ways for sure.

[@shannonkirby9295]

Hey, Steve, great to see ya. Great video, as always. Lord, I wish it would stop raining. 😂. Be safe

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

It is supposed to rain hard on us today too. And if the rain quits, then the wind is horrific. At least around here. Take care and hope you can get out soon!

[@LillyLegacyWWOD]

This is why a drop shot on the end of a lay down is so deadly!

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

It is! I believe the Elite Series event on Seminole was won a couple of weeks ago doing just that. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's what I saw. Thank you for watching!

[@DoctorSess]

Excellent footage

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Thank you!

[@r2videos965]

Enjoy your videos. Could you indicate (in description or video) water conditions/time of year in videos?

[@somewhereinsd362]

Great video again as always... thank u ... Steve do u have any experience with nitro boats, considering the z19 pro ... as a new bass angler any thoughts good or bad appreciated

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

I do know that Nitro has really improved their boats over the years. They are a good value for sure.

[@dee8263]

This was a gem. I imagine a pegged a Texas Rig would excel here. What are your favorite lures for combing through lay-downs?

[@kidiraq8381]

My biggest takeaway is that Steve needs to bring a rod when he’s diving down there! 😆

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Right! By the time I am done filming they are gone. Lol

[@rickvann3489]

Fish them just like working a beaver lodge...

[@SteveRogersOutdoors]

Excellent comparison! Thank you.
