Another cool video Sean I really enjoyed the chest cam angles and the commentary mixed in with the actual on the water footage. Keep up the amazing work I am really digging all the new content, hopefully you can do a video soon throwing glide baits or A-Rigs. As always tight lines and please stay safe out there.

Loving your videos!


. Can you inform us what jig head and weight you were using on the Spark Shad please? Thanks
Awesome vid Sean! The chest mount for sure. Small finesse swim baits do it for me in the winter time when nothing else works. Thanks again for sharing
Great video! Damn all those rods in the background. You make me look like I don't have a problem.
That fishery has definitely improved since the 90s. Good job and yes on the chesty video; the audio is so much better. I'm curious about your crankbait bite. How far from the bottom is that Money Badger running when it gets bit?
Great video! I just got off the water and I’m watching your video before I unload the kayak lol I prefer the chesty view for sure! Better sound and I can see what kind of casts your making and I can see your retrieve! I went out with a plan to throw finesse swim baits then I went to dragging drop shots and jigs but eventually I just put it all down grabbed my crankbait and covered water also lol very similar day to you it looks like
great vid and advice, Sean. Change things up and don’t be stubborn. Ya know, I have about every brand of finesse swimbait, but I never fish the green pumpkin color. It’s always some shad variation. I may give that a try because I fish green pumpkin worms obviously.
