The lakes are amazing up there with no boats no people not many homes and so peaceful. I live in the Chicago land area and believe it or not the fishing is excellent and loaded with amazing river systems, minus the peace and quit, you just have to put in the time and you will find the fish. Thanks again for the great video.

I hit two different lakes in a kayak today. Got totally skunked on one, but hit a slumpbuster on the other so it all worked out. Glad to see you're catching some nice fish!

@markhogquist2000 11 ай бұрын

I threw my bird only once. It was so loose and rattled bad - very noisy. That coupled with the Shimano Metanium DC I was using was a bit too much. The bait felt kinda clumsy and I got line wrap quite a bit. I should probably try it again after watching this. Chuck rock, rip rap, etc. - always a good spot to start on a new body of water. Thanks for making my morning a little better 👌

I don't mind other anglers at all if they are being quiet and respectful. I would like to be able to fish a place not ringed with houses though. Even the lakes tucked away in the state forrests have houses on part of them in my neck of the woods. It is a rare treat to enjoy nature and only nature.

Best fishing channel on KZfaq. Hands down. I learn more AND relax and truly enjoy more from watching you just fish than any other channel. So many channels get caught up in the jargon and the "I'm the host of this channel" mentality they forget that one of the best ways to teach is to simply SHOW. But they aren't about teaching as much as advertising themselves and their sponsors so there's that. You just fish, and forget that you left the camera rolling every time it feels like

Yepper I was going to say that lol. Same principle as the Heddon Crazy Crawler. Caught my 1st Largemouth over 5lbs. on one year's ago. Later they changed the metal and it seemed thinner and would bend easily like Matt had go on there. Great color on the bird lure too! Had a Mann's Baby One Minus that color that the 1st evening out with it I caught 25 Largemouth. Two over 5lbs. Also twice caught a fish on each hook! Best night fishing Largemouth I've ever had. And I have had a few lol sorry just saying. It was great growing up in Southeastern Ohio with all the farm ponds and I grew up between two Limestone Quarries that had beautiful deep ponds stocked in the 60s

I've been watching your channel for about a year now. I've seen you use rat lures and bird lures to catch fish, as well as of course other types of topwaters, but never ye old Jitterbug. Since the Jitterbug has very similar action to the bird lures but no wings to bend or break, I'd love to see you do a series, or even just one video using three different sizes of the Jitterbug. Could be FUN!

There’s over 1,000 lakes within maybe a 90 minute drive from here. Probably a few hundred have public access. A lot are highly developed where there’s jet skis and pontoons cruising around non stop if the weather’s nice. A lot have stunted populations of small fish and many lakes less than 20ft deep had massive die offs the past couple harsh winters. All that narrows it down quite a bit trying to find a quiet lake with decent fishing but I’ve found a few this year. I tried another new lake last week and got a couple 20” largemouth on the frog!

@markstott6689 11 ай бұрын

@@ndyakangler A 20 incher at long last. I'd begun to think that they'd been fished out. It never ceases to amaze me how virtually every species in your neighbourhood will try swallowing a large chunk of plastic no matter how brightly it's painted and how much commotion it makes. European fish appear to be far more reserved lol. I'm sorry to hear about the die-offs. If it's not extreme high or low temperatures it's blue-green algae. I shall continue watching in the hope that you can show us some more of North Dakota and Minnesota. I know it's a long shot, especially this late in the summer, but have you considered doing an overnight camping and fishing trip in the kayak? 😊😊❤️❤️😊😊
