Things NO ONE Tells you about FINESSE Fishing for Bass

In this video we go over things no one tells you about finesse fishing for bass during our trip to Lake Lanier. We review fishing lures like the Ned Rig, Finesse Jig Swimbaits, and the Neko Rig - how to fish them and what you can do to catch more fish with finesse fishing techniques. In this video we focus mainly on spinning rod tips using light fishing line in clear water.

I really like how you aren’t trying to sell anything. No subscription boxes, affiliate link etc. Lately I get the sense that all these “fisherman” are just on someone else’s dime and are trying to make money from their fan base. Nice to have just talk fishing.

"The Only place im truly happy" feelin that. Good stuff dude

[@wesstewart9264]

You said it. For me, it's hunting and fishing. But those are the only times I am truly happy

[@byronhendrixfishing8393]

Sight fished one with the Nichols ned on Lanier Saturday 3lb male. Worked him for an hour with flipping set up left him for 20 min came back second pitch with the ned and got him. On camera too. 🔥🔥🔥

[@pamelaklemp5615]

Mikey, the BOG-ster is the💣😁. So 😎, I love 💕😘 seeing his interactions with you and your catch. Lanier, that was my home lake for about 7 years. Then 3 more years again later on. It's a hard one to fish but super rewarding when you find them being active. Noah (of Kickin' Their Bass TV) that's his home lake and his dad (Big Steve) still lives there on the lake. Both are You Tubers. Ask around for them before you leave! That would be a BANGER hook-up!!! Well, Mikey, super video and good luck on Lanier, it's an AWESOME 😎 place.

The dog is looking like your really going to make me wear this. Lol

[@Austin_Torres]

Hey Mikey I love your videos man especially how you started it today with Bart waking up and he still has his jacket ready to go you truly have a best friend there and a good blessing makes me wish I could’ve took my old friend before she passed but she put a smile on my face your continent has inspired me to be a cotton creator also myself I would love to have your eyes and perspective for when I do the same type of contact creation but most importantly I have to make it worth everyone’s time to even do it but I’m still trying tight lines Mikey. I hope one day. I can make it out to Alabama and rent a kayak and explore a bunch of waters out there looks like a great time and a great place to be keep doing what you’re doing bud I always enjoy your Content take care

[@fishingwiththeks]

Hey Hey, finesse is so much fun, when you find them in an area for sure. Mikey, I’ve got 4 Curados, 1 e5 and 3 e7’s and I get them serviced every year in Georgia, my buddy Adam Cawley @reelintegrity keeps them in super shape. What spinning reels are you using now🤷🏻‍♂️. 🎣🍀🎣✊

Any luck with the Okashira? I've been wanting to try for cold water bass and but now considering trying it for post spawners! It worth the buy?. And is that net rubber? Thanks!!

[@southerngurlfishing2561]

I love bogg he's great ❤but you might wanna watch him licking the bass it removes there protective slime coat and makes them more susceptible to Disease , call me a Jeremy Wade fan but him being a biologist he explained it very well lol just a thought love the channel :)

[@kayakfishingforpredators9107]

Boggs licking fish Is NOT like touching fish with dry hands. When fish do the make baby fish things their bumping each other or grind to sediment to make their bed. They also bumping vegetation like sticks or wood under water when they lay their eggs. Boggs gentle licking a fish does NOT hurt them (maybe a little) and the protective slimy layer is going to be replaced that same day.

[@southerngurlfishing2561]

@@kayakfishingforpredators9107 lol I think a dog's sand paper tongue is a little different than mud or sand or grass that is Wet in its natural environment also have you ever caught a fry guarding fish? they are covered in sores and tail half eaten away so yeah I guess your right taking there slime off causes no damage at all 🤔🤦‍♀️ and I mean I'm sure you know better than a fishery biologists haha

@@southerngurlfishing2561 you comparing Sand ( small, very small rocks) with a rough tongue? Lol you reply is Full with FALLACIES. That Fry fish you’re talking about: did you study its behaviour BEFORE you caught it?

@@kayakfishingforpredators9107 man look at you with your big words haha 😄 I'm glad you think you sound smart still until you post your masters in fishery biology your big words and you trying to sound smart have no standing lol fact of the matter is my comment is not up to debate with other fisherman, nor is it an attack on Mike's decision to let his dog lick the fish , it's not illegal the man can do what he wants hell you can feel free to lick the fish if you please I really don't care haha my point was to simply pass on good information to a fellow fisherman that I'm sure takes pride in the sport and the well being of the fish we fish for as we all should!! But thanks for your 2 cents anyway have a good day God bless 😁

[@kayakfishingforpredators9107]

@@southerngurlfishing2561 hmmm your first reply is LOADED with FALLACIES. And your 2nd reply is even more loaded with fallacies Take a breath when you reply a comment. Maybe form sentences and end with a . Then start a new sentence with a capital letter. It does NOT become easier to discuss any opinion if you attack a person with a different opinion. In other words you disgrace your opponent BUT do not bring on some logical EXPLANATIONS for your OWN OPINION. A WET sandpaper tongue ( of a dog) is NOT equal to sand/ gravel/ rock nor equal to a DRY HAND that grabs the skin of a fish and squeezes it down a LITTLE to unhook that fish.

[@OldMysticFantasist]

Appreciate the fishing tips & experiences & love Bog's horny sweatshirt. Just trying to decide whether he's thinking "you spend all day out here catching these things & if we're not gonna keep them to eat, I'm at least gonna taste them" or if he's trying to console them with a kiss to say "it's OK, my human will release you in just a minute." 😜

[@mastermouaable]

There’s too many way you can catch fish. The easiest would be live bait. Put a live nightcrawler on the end of your hook and blow it up. Just cast it out there and let it sit; every now and then give it a little reel. This is your do it nothing fishing style. It’s not a popular way to fish because it’s live bait and you won’t be cool.
