so sometimes you get super high pressure with really crappy water visibility, how do you approach that?

[eugene]

This is like studying the playbook in football, a lot of intricate details and variables. Great, easy to follow information.

My favorite way to fish!
Crankbait fishing 🎣 👌
I got two Crankbait rods, a Megabass flatside special and Skeet Reese S glass crankbait rod.
Using Ike rods for everything else, drop shot, top water, etc

These poor dunk fisherman are just the tip of the iceberg. It's the game that's rigged. I will speak on this.

I disagree I personally think at least in my fisheries the Chatter bait creates better reaction strikes than crankbait. I live in northern NY and fish ST Lawrence and all lakes in NY.

Something I'm working on this year is my crankbait, I've always been finessed but it's time to learn power fishing. I love your enthusiasm and I always appreciate your excitement for the sport nothing but love man

I fish tidal river current here in Fredericton New Brunswick. What is the best crankbaits for slow to medium current. I used flat side crankbaits and rounded ones square bill crankbaits. Yesterday I used DT 10 in chartreuse brown without any luck. River was clear, very low.

So let me ask this, when it’s clear water and warmest water of the year, do you still want a tight wobble with it being clear or can you move to a wide wobble?

[TheJacemer]

Thank god he shaved that goatee thing he had going- he looked like a 1980s NHL goon

[ashleem]

How about this year in lake Murray that moderate wobble crankbait is catching garfish from me
I fish in a cove were two creeks come through used to be loaded with Bass now all this year I caught mostly garfish 2 to 4 ft long it's very hard to do on a kayak that's how I do most of my fishing

Where do lipless crankbaits fall in all of this?

[fivekeys]

Talking about pressured fish I think guntersville bass have seen more lures then a bass pro associate 😢😂

[poeanglersfishingwithbrian]

hay man this one is on point and I don't have many crankbaits but I got one that will get thrown after seeing this. So thanks

Love these series videos. My 11 yr old son is watching them to learn more and we talk about what he hears in the videos and then go out and try the tips. We are in southern PA outside of lancaster. Do a lot of creek fishing and hit lakes and the conestoga and Susquehanna rivers. All from the bank. The tips and tricks are very helpful. We are working on trying to figure out a local small lake which was a quarry at one point long ago. Tough place to fish

[rodcashman]

Great in depth series. Back in the early 80's I used these baits a ton. Just now starting to fish again I'll have to use them again. Thank you for sharing this great video 📹 👍
