Remember to Finish the Cast!

Fishing Thoughts... Finish the Cast!

Series of video clips where I demonstrate Bass striking the lure as it comes within a rod length away. Don't be surprised when one strikes! 

Great tip to remember when you fish on your next trip. The fish may be tending to bite at the end of your retrieve. Lessons learned this round... Finish your cast as that fish may be striking less than a rod length away.

Try This Fishing Tip, Catch More Fish... Maybe?

Try this fishing tip, and catch more fish. But, you still need to follow through and land it.

Rig a Senko Weedless for Bass!

Here is how I like to rig my Senkos for Bass... weightless, Texas Rigged!

There are other setups that work well that include worm weights and wacky rig hooks with a weed guard. But, over each season, I tend to go back to a weightless, Texas Rig fished using bass fishing baitcaster combos as well as ultralight baitcasting aka bait finesse fishing.

The key is to make sure the hook and worm are aligned, and then try various retrieves to include no retrieve, a drag and stop retrieve as well as a steady retrieve.

Do give Senkos a try.., the Bass Spawn is happening sooner than later if not already. Your bass catch rate should improve with Senkos!

Caruth Park Trout Fishing - Streaming Live from my #GoPro

Fun time limiting out on trout. Able to post an impromptu livestream at Caruth Park!

It includes all the mistakes and missed strikes while recording live. It took about an hour of fishing using fishing flies and other lures before I found what worked.

Ultralight Baitcasting a 1/16oz Rooster Tail - black with silver blade, fished on a slow retrieve was the go to method.

Although I limited out, I should have finished sooner but I kept losing trout while landing them. No worries, great excuse to keep fishing!

Two Fishing Flies Instead of One... Autofocus Issues, too #fishing #flyfishing #livestream

Still working out the hardware issues with my streaming gear. This round I missed the autofocus... meaning I should have went the manual focus as the focus cursor shows when I use autofocus. Apologies for the annoying cursor.

The intent of this video was to demo a fly fishing tip for setting up a tandem rig when fishing two fishing flies. I call it the "hang loose measure" because I use the Hawaiian hand gesture to measure the length of line for rigging the trailing fishing fly to the lead one.

Do check it out!
