At 73 years of age I have not fished since I was in my twenties. Grew up in a family of dedicated Minnesota fisherman but I never really cared. Now I am interested! I am taking my adult Down's Syndrome daughter fishing now and we are enjoying learning something together and spending quality time together. Nat, your videos are just what I need to get restarted. Am going slowly and not running out and purchasing lots of stuff. Your instructions and information are great. Thanks again from Norm in the Black Hills of South Dakota where we have lots of fishing opportunities.

Thanks for another one Nat. I started my fishing journey using a spinning reel, I just feel like it’s the best for me. I also learned how to tie a trilene knot really well because of your videos. I know I’ve commented multiple times, but I appreciate you.

I really like how you use slow mo and other video effects to make it easier for us to see the points you are illustrating for us to learn from. Very effective! Great video, as always!

Thanks, i previously my reel would close itself whilst i was making the cast and it wouldn't go far, but now since i started to turn the reel like you said my casting has improved a lot

Great explanation. I’m fishing a bit for fun now and this helps a lot. My first time casting was not the best haha

I was not aware that the line has to be close to the rod. Thank you for the information.

Thanks I’m learning to fish and while I enjoy doing it a lot I’m always screwing my line just trying to learn how to perfect it thanks

Another tip, and a pet peeve of mine, is you don't switch hands. The hand on the rod always stays on the rod, and you reel with the hand you open and close the bail with. If you like to cast over your right shoulder, then the reel handle should be on the left, and vice versa.

Hey Nat, love your videos they have helped me immensely getting back into fishing. Was wondering if you could give a pointer for a setup. I have a Mitchell 7'0" medium-fast rod from last summer with new 15 pound suffix mono line that I'm using for all-round fishing and have so far caught bass and walleye. Is this a strong enough rig to handle northern pike and/or muskie? I'm fishing in a freshwater lake that drops off real quick and DEEP, but there are some fairly weedy shallow zones in the main bay, and the fish can be fairly large here. Based on your videos, it probably wouldn't be quite strong enough, and in that case do you have any recommendations for what I could do to 1. modify my current rig or 2. setup a new one that targets the bigger guys? I also need to verify the rod/reel/line compatibility of my current setup after watching this video to make sure everything is right. Thanks again for these videos!!!

Hi nat, first off love how straight foward your vids are but i was curious i saw you answering others questions so thought id see if youd help me. I got a penn battle 2 4000 reel with a 7ft star rod stellar lite to go with it and wanted a good multipurpose line to put on it cause we have alot of fresh salt and brackish fishing in my area and just want a good multipurpose fishing line with little hassle like leaders and such, i prefer mono but am open to other options main one ive been looking as is the 14lb zebco cajun mono but am just not sure, if you do get back to me i really appreciate it if not no worries
