Another in the GoPro Mobile Fishing Livestream Series! This one has me at Lake Glenn in Arlington, Texas!

Fishing with an Ultralight Baitcaster Combo - Shimano Scorpion 17 BFS-XG Reel, Bass Pro Shops MicroLite Fiberglass Rod, and 4lbs Stren and using Z-Man Micro Finesse Ned Rig in Green Pumpkin and a 1/15oz Jig Head.

Bait Finesse gear cast the rig easily save for the windy conditions that had me clearing a backlash or two.

Managed several Bass, no Bruisers but lots of fun on the ultralight gear!

Here is a shorter, edited version of the GoPro Mobile Fishing Livestream!

Ultralight Baitcasting Lures - Let's Talk Fishing #livestream #fishing #tips

This round I continue to work through streaming hardware issues as I learn to use the system. Gotta little more "learnings" to do!

That said, I managed to show the different lures I use when ultralight baitcasting aka BFS Fishing. They range from inline spinners to small crankbait and other lures as well as a few vintage ones from the past!

Of note are the 1/16oz Rooster Tails that seem to work on local ponds.  Additionally, there was one vintage lure I used to catch a nice one - see video below.

Do check it out!

Try These Trout Fishing Lures 😃 #fishing #ultralightfishing #tips

What is in our tackle box when ultralight baitcasting aka BFS Fishing? Here is a video short detailing what we like!

Of note are the Super Dupers in Copper, Gold, Silver, and Rainbow Trout! 

• Fish them low and slow when the trout are holding deep. 
• If active in the upper part of the water column, then fish them with a steady retrieve.
• Additionally, if no takers on either retrieve, then try a "stop and go retrieve" by reeling in, and then pausing for a second or two. 
• Wait for a strike as Super Duper slowly sinks and flutters on the pause!

Also, Mepps Inline Spinners in Copper, Gold, and Silver hold a spot in our tackle box.

• Fish them with a steady retrieve and when the trout are holding in the upper part of the water column.
• Adjust the retrieve by reeling faster or slower until you get a strike. A "stop and go retrieve" may be called for on occasion. 
• But, typically, it is lure blade color and the trout's location in the water column that matter more.

Rooster Tails in a variety of color combinations are another lure we keep handy.

• Start with the Fire Tiger, White, Yellow, and Black. And then, expand to other color combinations - blade, lure body, dressing.
• Fish them like the Mepps but take the slow retrieve on step further and reel it slower! The Rooster Tail blade will spin at the slowest retrieve which will come in handy when the trout are picky. 
• But, do take note, when sight casting to passing trout schools, a faster retrieve may be called for when on trout breaks away and you see its V wake head toward the lure!

Rainbow Trout Super Duper

Ultralight Baitcasting for Trout on the Blue River in Oklahoma!

Fished the Blue River for trout this round. Opted for Super Dupers and Ultralight Fishing Gear. Three of us fished - two fished with Ultralight Spinning Gear and yours truly fished with Ultralight Baitcasting gear.

Cold front rolled in the night before dropping the temps below freezing. Anticipating trout tending deeper, decided to fish Super Dupers.

Stopped at Scotty's Blue River One Stop to restock on Super Dupers - picked up Rainbow Trout, Silver, and Copper Super Dupers to add to the gold and silver ones I  already had.

After a quick check at the low water crossing, went downriver to fish. After finding the pattern limited out with three trout each!

PS: Yours truly wore hip waders and went a little too deep. Lesson learned where Pants Waders or Chest Waders.  Also, we did have a wading boot blowout after many seasons. Secured the sole with rope to make it last one more trip. It worked... and has now been retired.

Ultralight Baitcasting Anyone?

 How about a quick trip to Lake Glenn for ultralight baitcasting with the Kastking Zephyr BFS reel. Started with an inline spinner but turned out the Rapala Husky Jerk was what Bass wanted!
