Just three years ago you could find high quality fishing lures on sale for as cheap as $1.00. I don't think prices are ever coming back down and we are stuck paying $6 or $7 for soft plastics. I see chatterbaits on sale for $16 and crankbait for $10. Just a few years ago they were $4. And you could even find them on sale for much cheaper. I"

"If You See Water Like THIS in Winter - FISH IT If you see water like this in winter fish it you just might catch some fish. Finding water to fish in winter can be difficult but water that looks like this is a great place to start. You can catch fish in water like this because its slightly warmer than the water around it. An easy way to tell is that it isn't frozen when the rest of the water is. Winter fishing isn't so bas when you know where to look. I catch a handful of bluegill along with a really nice one. This video shows how you can catch fish in winter and where to look. #fishing #video"

So I put on a float and get the depth dialed in. Then I catch two big crappie back to back. These crappie fishing techniques are easy to follow and I hope you can get out there and catch some crappie right away."

"TOPWATER Bluegill Fishing Yes It's a THING Can you use topwater lures when fishing for bluegill Yes you can Today I am fishing with a floating Rapala jerkbait and I am catching big bluegill using it as a topwater lure. I start out with a typical retrieve and catch a couple of fish. But then after experimenting with a topwater presentation I start catching more and bigger panfish Beginner fishing tip: You don't always have to fish the lure as intended you can experiment with presentations like using it as a topwater lure. It was easy to see that the bluegill preferred the Rapala being fish on"

I am bass fishing from the bank with both lures but only one will come out on top. I start out fishing with the Rapala. It has a slim sleek design and a tight wobble. But today the fish just aren't quite interested. After I tie on the Rebel though I start catching fish. I catch a largemouth bass and a bunch of yellow bass from the bank In today's bass fishing video the Rebel beats the Rapala floating minnow but that won't always be the case. Bass fishing"

I went from catching bass to hardly even catching any bluegill in a matter of days Its hard to adjust to the fishing being this terrible when it feels like I was just catching bass. Thats what the cold weather of winter will do to the fishing. A few cold night will drop the water temperature and it will change fish behavior.

"Live Bait Trick for Bass Fishing Today I'm using my secret live bait technique for bass fishing. This live bait trick works for bank fishing as well as in a boat. I catch live shad on a hook then cast it back out to catch bass on the spot. Where you see bass feeding on schools of shad nothing makes a better bait than a shad from right there Let it swim or even sit on the bottom and the bass will come looking for it. I like this technique when I don't have any live bait with me. I can just catch it and use the fish live bait for bass. #bassfishing #tricks Send mail to the show here: Realistic"

"I Love Bass Fishing With a NED RIG (Part 1) Turns out I love bass fishing with a Ned Rig. With hot weather comes difficult fishing especially bass fishing. So its time to downsize and fish with a Ned Rig setup. I am pairing it with a Creme Scoundrel four inch worm. After adding a little Pro Cure I am ready to fish. I fish for a little while in open water and near the dock. But is isn't until I start fishing in the shade that I start catching bass. I catch my first bass under the overhanging trees. I catch my second bass after walking out on the log. Make sure you watch part two to see more"

"Spring Bass Fishing With a TEXAS RIG (Bass Fishing in The Wind) It's finally time for spring bass fishing with a Texas Rig. Bass fishing in the wind can be tricky with the possibility of backlashes and inaccurate casting. But if you are willing to fight the wind you can still catch bass. Its early in the spring fishing season but I am finding some bass at local fishing locations. Using a Texas rigged creature bait I am able to catch two largemouth bass today. After switching to something smaller I even catch a golden shiner and a bluegill too. TIP: If you want to brave the high winds you can"

"The Fishing is IMPOSSIBLE (But This ONE LURE Still Caught Fish) Even when the fishing seems impossible this one lure still catches fish. I have been fishing for two days in a row and only one lure caught fish the wacky rigged Senko. A soft plastic worm hooked through the middle is wat it took to get a bite. In two days I caught two fish and they were both on the wacky rig. Its been so hot outside that the fishing is impossible right now. When that happens I switch to a slow moving confidence bait. That is the wacky rigged worm. It sinks slowly its easy to eat and it has an irresistible wiggle"
