Ladies and gentleman, one of the best Kayak anglers on the planet right here. Way to go dude, can't wait to see what you do at Nationals!

@niknotster25 Жыл бұрын

Quite funny how you both caught a Carp on the crank baits! Seems you both figured out the same pattern for catching them in the tournament. Must say I really love catching bass on cranks myself. It’s such an aggressive bite. All the best for Nationals Damian 💪🏼🎣

🥳WTG Damian 🥳 enjoyed watching your video today thanks for sharing your day 🤟 the one caught by the buoy was kewl .... seams like it was mezmorized watching you do the pop pop wiggle wiggle thang trying to get unsnagged and couldn't resist eating it soon as it came loose LoL ..... I watched greg's video yesterday and seamed like Crank'n um was the ticket.. If all i had was a crankbait to throw I'd Be a happy camper...... 2 questions Sir ??? GEAR RATIO ?? what is your preference for throwing Cranks 🧐 do you ever use snap clips or always tie direct and do you think a snap clip effects the action of the bait any ??

@dthao92 Жыл бұрын

Thanks! I prefer to throw cranks on a 5 gear. I don’t like snaps, it does help with the baits action but I’ve had too many issues with snaps failing on me in the past.

SOOOO many questions - Why are you not livescoping them? Are you cranking the bottom or through the water column on suspended fish? How do you like running the Torqeedo and Xi3???

@dthao92 Жыл бұрын

The fish I’m targeting are not suspended. They can’t be seen on the forward facing sonar. The are tucked away in the bigger rocks. Day 1 I was using my livescope only to look for structure. Day 2 I knew where all my structure was at so I didn’t need to have my livescope on. I love having the option of using both the motors. Torqeedo for speed and the Xi3 for spot lock.

Another great video. Well done out there throughout the the year & at clear lake! Hey, what is the name of the knot you tie on your cranks? I've seen you tie it before & always forget to ask. Do you ty it because of ease or is it stronger than a palomar knot in your experience? Thanks

@dthao92 Жыл бұрын

Thanks, sorry I dont know the name of the knot. Yes i tie it due to how easy it is to tie. Im constantly retying and changing baits so this the knot i like using. As in strenght wise, its a pretty weak knot.

Attention viewers... look at his graph! He is always around deep water with fish or deep cover/structure. He fishes high percentage areas, that's why he is so successful. He understands fish and their movements based on a seasonal pattern. Learn from this, it's good stuff. listen to what he says and how he makes such fast and accurate adjustments. Every one of his videos will teach you something if you do more than watch him fish. it's fair to say you are watching one of the best kayakers in the game. Congrats and best of luck at Nationals. Can't wait to see you break it down out of California.
