Throwing a SWIMBAIT Saved My Fishing Day! (100 Ponds Ep. 32)

[@THEDEUCE.GOESFISHING]

I like to watch fishing, real fishing and no one smokes them every single day. I go searching for ponds now because of this series and one fish is a success any day. Cause some guys went that day and didn’t catch any. If you don’t think the bass are biting go to a weigh in.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Exactly why I show these kinda days

[@dabearsfan3533]

TYLER, I THINK ITS INPORTANT TO SHOW PEOPLE THE REALITY OF FISHING , SOMDAYS YA GET SKUNKED, BUT THE DAYS THAT YER YANKN' 4 LBRS IS WHAT MAKES FISHING SO GREAT! MY OPINION, SOMTIMES THE STRUGGLES ARE THE BEST TEACHING TOOL.

[@TylersReelFishing]

YESSIR

[@virgilproductions]

Agreed. We all struggle and it’s nice to see everyone in the same situation sometimes

[@Jifnei]

I’m in a 4 run slump rn… tough times but I stay grinding

[@Triumphant-7]

I've been to one of my secret ponds and on one day it yielded 6 wipers and a large mouth (3 of the wipers were 4+ #, and one on the verger of 4 #), with 2 wipers and a largemouth lost. Went the next day with my kids expectant of another epic day (both days were epic on the bass forecast app) and it only yielded one ice cream cone bass (to quote what Tyler says), so even bodies of water that are known to yield lots and/or large bass, can also have days that will frustrate and skunk you. I have not caught anything on that body of water since and it has been my go to when I do want to catch. The weather was also not helping during that period, as I think it was turning the fish on, and then a cold front would roll in and switch them off completely.

[@johnkohls9591]

Thanks for showing the reality fishing, please keep doing things just like you are.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Thanks, will do!

[@johangermishuys308]

All things in balance is what KZbin needs. Absolutely want to see the reality of how things go during fishing. It’s called fishing, not catching and the method you use to break down what your talking as your working your way through helps and teaches all of us patience and understanding of what we can do in our fisheries.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Well said!

[@NASPELTZ]

Shallow water + swimbait = success… great video, gotta love a swimbait bite

[@TylersReelFishing]

You got that right!

[@RippinLipsOutdoorz]

Looks like a cool vid! Edit: First!

[@cgenerun4237]

I like the struggles and the glory days. And the pond series is a fav of mine.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Glad you enjoyed both!

[@itzw00dy]

Nothing like sitting at work on a Saturday and seeing a TRF video post!

[@TylersReelFishing]

Awesome!

[@bass_stache]

Catching bass is always good. However being authentic and showing how fishing can be regardless of who you are is way better and I trust instills confidence to everyone watching.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Thanks for watching buddy!

[@EricB_LakeOneal]

A lot of ponds are horribly mismanaged. There are 2 examples right here in this video. Typically this is because the fish populations are out of balance and there are too many bass. Best thing you can do for your local pond is harvest skinny bass.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Yep, exactly. I have a really cool conversation with a fisheries biologist coming soon

[@pacman_17]

I enjoy the 100 ponds series even if the fishing is tough. I like to hear the thought process, even in your lake videos. I feel these pond fish get conditioned to bite during low light conditions due to fishing pressure. And because they see so many normal size lures they don't bite them as well. Sometimes you have to resort to trout lures. I've been exploring JDM lures and their finesse techniques so I have something to fallback should conventional lures fail.

[@blakemiller9037]

Pond bass most definitely get used to seeing big lures and the same lures so it’s good to switch it up even if it’s just a little change but in these colder months up north here I resort to micro stuff because not only is it an easier meal for the fish but also you can catch other species if they are in that body of water. I’ve spent last year trying new techniques and it’s paid off and so I’m gonna a do that this year too, hope you try some new stuff and advance your fishing 🎣

[@TylersReelFishing]

I’m 100% gonna be throwing more small lures than big in this series. Seeing they trend too

[@mdomino7885]

One of my favorite things is to watch the struggle of fishing. I truly appreciate the knowledge you bring to the game. Keep making these types and always throw in the good days of many and big bass. Gotta learn and teach at the same time.

[@TylersReelFishing]

I appreciate that!

[@allannortje6440]

You know what Tyler, I believe you will be hitting the 15 pounders regularly, all you got to do is believe ! Tap into that superiority.. And Pray ! Xd

[@FrameDataVGC]

Dude no way I fish that second pond like every week! Hearing you break down everything you're thinking as you fish was super helpful for my understanding of where to fish there. Thank you so much! (P.S. I heard you say you grew up around that area so if you know of any fire ponds there please lmk)

[@TylersReelFishing]

You had any better success at that 2nd pond?

[@FrameDataVGC]

@@TylersReelFishing there are some days where I’ll catch 5 or 6, but they’re usually pretty dinky. Honesty that 3 you caught is the largest bass I think I’ve seen there

[@thats_cat]

Appreciate the video, Tyler. I’m here to learn not see unrealistic fishing. The big catches are great and the great fishing days are awesome, but seeing the realism of fishing is the choice for me. I had a recent successful day on the pond and your tips helped with that. Lost the biggest one in the pond, too. 😢

[@TylersReelFishing]

Dang man! Maybe she’ll bite again some day

[@josephcancino71]

Totally enjoy the struggle and keeping it real. Lots of information, this year I would like to see large hard plastic swimbaits and best time to throw them here in north Texas. But great video and thank you for keeping it real and God bless!

[@TylersReelFishing]

Hard plastic swimbaits is a video I’m hoping to do in the next few weeks

[@dabearsfan3533]

YEUH! 100 PONDS BAYBAY!! LOVE THIS SERIES!

These look like my local ponds and super pressured but ur techniques have helped me alot. Thanks sir.

[@TylersReelFishing]

So glad!

One of the main reasons I like your channel is the variety of content. Pond fishing, boating, kayaking, big fish, little fish, catching, not catching, the master classes are awesome. Thank you for the content.

tyler i’m absolutely LOVING your videos i mean they literally give me chill bumps because im so excited to learn or watch you man you are the reason i catch so many decent fish i’ve learned so much from your videos.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Glad you like them!

[@Coop-_-Dog2]

For you 100 pond series can you fish the pond at Dan Nickolas park NC? I work there during the summer at the paddle boats and everyone that fishes it struggles to catch fish there but I’m not sure why because the pond gets stocked with fish about once a year. I bass fished it yesterday and couldn’t get a bite and a was throwing a small white spinner bait

[@TylersReelFishing]

I’ll add it to the list!

[@Coop-_-Dog2]

@@TylersReelFishing thanks man if you let me know when your coming I can try to fish with you if that’s ok with you. If you want I can give you me phone number but not in the yt comments

New sub. Watching this series backwards. As primarily a bank angler, definitely a lot to learn from this. Great tips. I would like to see the difficult days on video since we all do it. Thanks man. ✌️

[@lloydburke1090]

I like the reality of these episodes. I'm really bad at catching bass and stopped trying for several years. Now I'm learning and getting better, I like your channel the most and hopefully will get better and better at actually catching!

[@mrpresreaganb]

I wouldn't necessarily say I enjoy it..but I will say it helps make those skunk days feel a little better. It's tough being a pond/bank angler sometimes! especially in areas like Austin where every accessible pond is heavily pressured

[@tonygonzalez2186]

I love that you struggle cause we do too. And you determination and what techniques you use. It teaches us to persavere, to not give up but go big or small. Thanks for the info. Much needed. Mississippi river rat from iowa. God bless tyler

[@jacobcoates5841]

Keep it natural man. I definitely don’t like to watch you struggle but I do enjoy seeing how you break it down and figure out what to throw when you are struggling

[@Triumphant-7]

Yes I enjoy the reality that not every body of water yields fish let alone big bass. I have more bodies of water like this than ones that are so stacked its like a fish every cast to ever second cast. I love that fact that its real life and not going ok that pond skunked me and I will not use that video footage for a youtube video. Please keep up the good work and keep preaching Jesus. Jesus is the way, the truth and the light, we will only enter heaven through him.

[@wyatt_hutson1]

I need some advice my moms birthday is coming up and she loves fishing but we can’t catch very many fish, what are some baits i should get her and what are some tips for her to catch more fish?

[@jacobcoates5841]

Man I love swim baits but every single time I buy a good one I get snagged and lose it smh

[@kylesmith3211]

I like watching videos like this, it's more real than a video where people are just catching fish after fish, and big bass all the time...its discouraging for me to watch videos like that and then go out and get skunked..so I feel like I learn just as much from these kinds of videos than the videos of people just killing it....sometimes it's not my "fault" I didn't catch bass, even though it always feels that way lol

[@TylersReelFishing]

Definitely not always your fault!

[@festusthecat]

In all those Texas ponds, can you keep the fish?

[@TylersReelFishing]

I feel it coming one of these years!😂

[@calebhintz4096]

Dude seeing you struggle in the best way possible are some of my fav videos you make. I'm trying to get more into bass fishing in northern UT and everything is small and very pressured and I feel so dumb so often trying to catch anything and knowing a professional angler who's been doing it for probably a decade+ longer than I have struggles sometimes is so reassuring 🤙 thank you for making videos where you know it's going to be tough

[@TylersReelFishing]

Of course!

[@bassjack9374]

Obviously a day catching a ton of fish is more entertaining to watch, but I think me and a bunch of other people think it’s relatable to watch a “pro” like you struggle, to show that you shouldn’t get discouraged, and that bad days happen to even the best of us. So I think it is good to post even on the slower days.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Sounds good!

[@JacobMora862]

[@CantrellMosley1]

I think Game and Fish should always stock bass yearly in local ponds. You have to catch and release anyway. Makes for awesome local pond fishing. Imagine a 8 year old catching his first local pond 3 pounder. Once the bass hit 3.5+ relocate it to a lake or bigger pond and keep the cycle going.

[@TylersReelFishing]

While that sounds good in theory, you actually want to re-locate small bass, not your big reproducers

We are in Pennsylvania. We have a couple ponds nearby that we try when we can. It has a lot of the snotty slimy grass or algae. You have to clean your line and baits everytime basically. Any suggestions on fishing ponds like that. It's also only 40-50 degrees air temperature here right now.

Thanks for he response. We did hit the river for an hour or so and caught one smallmouth on a tube. Tube are usually the deal for the river but it was a costly trip.
