Whats up guys! So a recurring question in the comments is asking why I put a bobber stop above the knot of my chatterbait. Simple answer is the knot I tie gives you 3 tag ends which are susceptible to getting hung up on grass (especially in the delta). The bobber stop helps "cover" them just a bit more from the weeds and you'll get hung up much less throughout the day. Hope that helps!

@valenor916 3 жыл бұрын

Greg, A bait I have not used for over 10 years. Got addicted to plastic baits and put all hard baits aside. This year I am going to get back into them. I recently ordered some shallow diving crank baits, something I have never thrown. The snow is melting in the yard, ground is starting to thaw I can feel spring in the air. Can’t wait to get on the water and fish. Thanks for taking us along and showing how it works.

My kayak is coming the 4th of March I’ve been watching your videos for about a year now. So excited just waiting for the ice to melt here in Michigan so I can get out there and use some of your techniques and fish. Thanks. Neal

Greg makes delta fishing look so damn easy it got one of my buddies thinking deltas on fire 24/7 to the point where its annoying. but in reality its like everywhere else hit or miss, picking right bait/spot, weather, tide, ect.
