On behalf of all the subscribed pond fishers, THANK YOU for doing these videos Tim!!

[@tacticalbassin]

My pleasure!

[@frankh2213]

I was waiting for the cat to pounce on that shaky head worm 😂😂

[@midwestfischerman]

This video is SO DIALED IN to the fishing I'm trying to do right now!!! Matt and Tim you guys make the BEST bass fishing videos!!!

[@unicornsteaks6769]

They get us

[@tacticalbassin]

Thank you for watching!

[@wglennhowells]

This was super helpful, especially seeing exactly how you worked each bait. Too many videos say “use this” but don’t show how, you took the time to show how and that is appreciated!

[@tacticalbassin]

You're welcome William! Thank you for the support!

[@jodycockerham7556]

My only problem is he didnt chose a popper or a buzz bait. My lord buzz bait at 6am oh my gosh is that fun. And 9pm sunset fishing you want to catch 20 bass in 45 minutes throw a popper drive them crazy hands down the funnest it gets pond fishing. Sure its fun draging a crawfish on the bottom buttop water is pond fishing just my 2 cents

[@jodycockerham7556]

@@tacticalbassin maybe do another video and show how you can slam with early morning buzz bait or sunset popper fishing a farm pond or avarage pond you find at a neighbors house. Another good video idea would be like to show people how fun creek fishing with light gear 1 pole small hand full if hooks a few small lures bobber and a minnow or a worm an d how awesome the small mouth fishing is. Get wet walk right down the middle and fish it up show people how to set a minnow trap . I suck atmaking videos but you seem pretty comfortable I used to watch this guy long lime ago named dave mercer and the facts of fishing. Absolutely fantastic fisherman and comedian.

[@Bugzy71]

Thanks for not forgetting about us bank guys. Great stuff as always. 👍🏼

[@walkeronegaming]

I love the fact that Tim sports regular gear in a lot of these videos. It's one thing to recommend gear but to actually show up and fish SLX stuff is really cool to see.

[@trryhin]

Great info! I carry three rods, a casting rod with 50lb braid, a spinning rod with 30lb braid and 10lb flouro leader, and a light spinning rod with 4lb flouro (for the bluegill!) Love a Texas rigged creature bait!

[@sleetherookie2929]

Great bank fishing tips. A below average angler like me with very little tackle, only can fish public pressured ponds. Learning how to fish the conditions every pond has to offer plays a big role for me and that’s why I can be successful.

[@timb8970]

I love the cat photo bomb!!

[@marvinprado1700]

Totally agree! In fact I also use the SLX for my Texas rig and the Sellus as my spinning. The only different in our set ups is that I prefer a weightless fluke instead of the shakey head. In my opinion the shaky head hangs up a little bit more while the fluke glides over the grass and you can really slow down as fish it like a weightless senko. I love versatile baits!! Great video!

[@chrisplummer288]

I gotta agree with you on the weightless fluke. I live in Florida, and they smash that thing when you’re working over grass.

[@catsmasher83]

I try and yak some neighborhood ponds around me every night after work. So much fun. Been enjoying it way more than out of the boat.

[@xxtripl3thr33xx]

Just want to say ty for your vids. Been fishing forever and still learning new tricks. Your content is also a great refresher for techniques I've forgotten that makes me want to get out on the water and take off my old faithful. Sure it's fun to figure out a pattern but knowing what works best and trying to perfect another technique for when times are tough is satisfying and will help you have fun when you can't go to your go-to for whatever reason

[@jeswright35]

I like the Bank Fishing tips!!! Now this is my deal!! I don't have a dam boat to flip, pitch under docks and all that crap.. Thank you!! finally Thank you! I have a backpack , a fanny pack and my rods .. and I hit the banks.. that's all i got.. lol But I catch fish! lol

[@b3nzy581]

Thank you! I went fishing the other day. It got hot!! I watched this episode before I went and picked up some shaky heads and finesse worms. The shaky head was the ticket and I caught several nice bass one being a 3lber. Thank you again. Your tips turned a day that I’m sure would have been a failure to a success.

[@oneblindambition]

Tim thank you so much for the tip with the jig presentation just happened to find a similar pattern of jig and trailer in my stash and got 3 of my 4 fish on it today

[@MrMeek79]

All great choices and I use all. I also like to add a dropshot setup in the mix if it’s not covered in grass.

[@richardporter1455]

Thanks for representing us bank guys Tim. And by the way, thank you and Matt for taking my swim jig and frog game to the next level. I have slayed them this season like l never have before.

[@tacticalbassin]

Awesome!! Thank you Richard

[@markallen3614]

Use to carry 4 rods, and what was basically a small tackle store. Now I carry 2 rods. That's it. 1 will be rigged top water with a frog or a popshadz. And the other will have either a baitfish, or a worm, crawdad Texas rigged. Keep a couple of spare plastics in my pocket. Usually go out early in the morning, just as the sun is rising, and make it a fast trip. I am in Texas, and it gets HOT fast.

[@lucas_t7golfs]

Great video Tim! Tactical's info is unmatched!

[@stephanelavoie2258]

Great information, thank you 🙏🏻. For the moment i’m only fishing bank and i usually travel cyclo cross bike and 3/6 rods and a big back pack . Bought a lots of equipment on your advices like the rods older with velcro !

[@fishinwithunclebear6157]

In FL , when I pond hop it's a frog , speed worm , lipless crank , top water buzz style . And stick baits . I have videos on all of that .

[@ladder197]

Great video. The ticks are no joke this year. I was down over a week due to a tick bite at the pond.

[@tacticalbassin]

Sorry to hear that! They are bad EVERYWHERE. Cant stand those suckers (no pun intended)

[@johngfishing8814]

Loved it Tim, thanks! I'm a pond guy, and in the summer months my bread & butter have been the texas rigged creature bait (I'm killing it right now with the Nedbaits Mad Paca, black & blue). The jig is my #2. Finally, I've been texas rigging big curly tailed worms (10 inch worms) in june bug and having good success with that.

[@danlewis1885]

You can almost ditch the swim jig and take a Zoom Ultravibe Speedworm and either swim it like a swim jig or fish it like a texas rig/shaky head.

[@twiggsherman3641]

Getcher self some 5/16 ID silicone tubes from amazon, and chop them up to act as sleeves for your yum dingers. I use yum dingers for neko rigs, and they last forever, and with the silicone tube instead of an oring, you rarely ever lose one when ya get hooked up.

[@r.barefoot8386]

Going to have to try that idea! You can also cut the ends off your old tube baits and slide them onto the ends of your stick baits for a skirted wacky rig 👍

[@twiggsherman3641]

@@r.barefoot8386 I take 10-15 strands of silicone skirting, line it up with the length of the dinger, and put a normal oring over it on top of the silicone tube. The oring helps keep extra pressure on the silicone tube, and the skirting holds up really well after a fish catch, you sometimes have to untangle it though.

[@erniesanders3724]

Tactical Rocks. Thanks for the tips Tim. God Bless from Western Kentucky.

[@tacticalbassin]

Thank you Ernie!!

[@richvestal767]

Last weak I caught two small bass in a creek channel, off a heavy pressured lake, one on a coppertreuse Ned rig and the other dragging a shakey head.

[@MrPhoenix1800]

I have the heritage backpack I can fit 6 3700 trays in there plus two smaller trays. I always have at least three rods with me. My ponds are so pressured it’s not funny, I would say that the ponds here in Az get hit harder then the lakes. Not to mention the 115• summer days. I just try and find golf courses if I can get away with it. And hit the lakes every now and then with my kayak.

My daughter has slayed all summer on megabass darksleepers. Just slow rolling em

[@BrownBaitCo]

such good information! did anyone see the cat???

[@hunterbull7804]

I only carry 1 rod if I’m going to the pond. Usually my Megabass P5 Super Destroyer because it can throw everything since it has almost a dual action. I have a Steez AGS 7’2” H power Pitch on the way which will also be great and a conquest 842s which will probably get a ton of use throwing wacky rigged senkos which I catch the most fish on. I only like to bring 1 rod because I don’t like setting my reels on the ground and having a bunch of dirt and grime in them and also I don’t like getting bit by ants I didn’t know we’re on my rods

thank you for doing shore videos. also... i really want you guys sun glasses but wear prescription. with they be available with anyone who can do prescription lenses?

[@countryfriedfishing]

Walking the bank really is the best fishing when their shallow. We as fisherman complicate things to much. When your on the bank simplicity will catch more and bigger. If I got 3 rods on the bank then that means ive planned for failure. Frog rod and worm rod really is all you need.

[@brandonmansker7772]

Hey Tim this video only talks about lightly pressured ponds. Do you recommend the same baits for heavenly pressured ponds that set all these same baits year round

[@ernestbrown5178]

Would u recommend a chatter bait over a swim jig?

[@stoneysdead689]

I can definitely attest to the ticks being present- man I got ate up a few days ago. LOL- I hear ppl online talking about going to the doctor cause they got a tick bite- man, if we went to the doctor every time we got a tick bite we would literally be there everyday. I get at least 1 a day- usually 3-4 a day- and I have for years now, no problems so far. We just pull them off and put some alcohol or peroxide on it, some anti itch cream- and forget it. Yeah I do worry about stuff like lime's disease but, when you live where I live you have no choice but to get over it.

[@LeskoBrandon2x]

[@kentbrown5369]

Great video. What bait would you recommend for bottom contact when the bottom is covered in moss

[@walkeronegaming]

Try a weightless fluke texas rigged with an ewg hook. takes a while to sink but it won't pick up all that junk from the bottom

[@funkymojo111]

I carry 3-4 rods and almost every kind of tackle and lures. My pack probably weighs around 35-40 lbs. The only thing I'm not carrying are condoms.

[@TJ_Loves2fish]

I've been carrying less tackle lately and enjoying myself more. There is something to be said for simplifying.

[@gatormclusky55]

Did the same thing...cast maybe 2 -3 times move on around the pond....did that all they way round...with a orange and black bottom popper ...Worm.....shit I can't remember the name....I'm not home.... anyway....same bait ...5 fish...1-3 pounds

That type of grass is the worst!

[@walkeronegaming]

You talkin like snot grass? Flukes are good for not picking up too much of it. Tbh, I fish that with a chatterbait and when it gets clogged up i pretty much reel in and set the hook on it. tends to break it free and you can feel the vibration letting you know it's clear

If you don’t have a lot of weeds here or the weeds are kinda on the bottom throw a Carolina rig on a light 3/8oz weight on a spinning rod with our finesse Beasty Bug Jr craw as the trailer or another finesse style worm or craw , it’s a dynamite option for when the water is super hot and they aren’t moving much or eating much and that subtle free weightless look is needed
