One of my favorite ways to test new lures (and get confidence in them) is to go to a small pond and fish them. In this adventure I’m joined by a subscriber and friend of mine, Trae Crabtree. Join us as we tackle a pond that he knew about, but hadn’t been to in a long time. Let me know what you think of the video below and please SUBSCRIBE!

I’ve just bought a few of the 1/4 ounce swinging swim jigs.
The lakes I fish are in NW Florida clear and a lot of blue Gill . Grass & stumps. Question what would be a good trailer?
Ps. I love your content and the way you approach the info. Thank you for your time!!
Dang I was waiting for you to turn around and say “I AM TRYING TO GIVE THESE PEOPLE A TACKLE TIP” hahaha but that was crazy 8 hits back to back to back like that.
I don't get why you switch to cast.
Andrew, thanks for doing a bank fishing video. That was fun for me since I dont own a boat. If Trae would have used a thunder cricket instead of a chatterbait he probably would have caught the bigger bass next to this one. Lol.
Great video. You had me smiling the whole time.
Seems like missed alot fish or lost alot at bank but it deff gets bit it looks really good
Now, in the Big Sky you have to get a fish ON THE BANK to count it. Nice try, though. Better bring extra chatter baits. I hate snags. Looks like 6+ to me. I know a scary hole on the Yellowstone River where unfished for smallies congregate to pig out. Not very boat friendly water, though.
GO POKES, you nee to go fishing with a Cowboy~!
Damn! You guys cleaned shop. That weedless swim jig looks awesome, haven't seen that. That log was magical! Trae with the horse! Great vid fellas!
New to your channel. Great content. Fun video. Good day day of fishing I’d say
looking forward to more of your videos
I love pond fishing seems like now though a lot of people have abused the permission to fish these and tore up land owner property or left there trash. They ruin it for a lot of us.
Nice catch my friend

Greetings from Germany
…
Thank you sir! Nice to see fishing from the bank like a lot of us. No fancy equipment just basic fishing with great tips!!
Great little pond right there! Loved it cause that’s how most of us started bass fishing
I do a lot of pond fishing, so I really appreciated this video! I’d like to see more, especially about fishing ponds with silty bottoms.
Andrew can you do a review on the new super duty gx3 baitcaster
Loved pond fishing in Oklahoma.. Was easier there to find somewhere to go and fish from bank. Now that I'm back in Cali I'm having a hard time…
"some times u just have to jump in a pond and catch a big old bass" I was waiting for u to jump in lol.
Always fun pond fishing,you found a wad of em to,good times,that jigs hook up ratio was not so good was it
Lucked out finding your channel… enjoying the content and looking to learn.. thanks:)
Great video! Will that Jig rod handle pitching and flipping jigs in sparse cover and grass?
Hey Andrew! Was wondering if you used a 3/0 or 4/0 for the 1/8 oz belly blade? Just wanted to see what fit better and I have not used them before!
Wow bass on a frog in the winter that’s awesome great video brother
Looks fun. Trying to turn my somewhat neglected neighborhood pond into something with that type of quantity and quality.
I’m not a fan of the swing head things… I could be wrong, but when the lure can twist or move in their mouth, I seem to not get hooked up good and lose way more fish. I’m not anywhere near the fisherman you are, but if I was losing that many bites, I’d change something! Either your losing fish ended when you lost that swing head and started using a direct connected hook, or you just got tired of showing us the lost ones! Good stuff Andrew!
Man where is this pond at?! I gotta come steal your spot man…lol. I'm from Jersey but I'd take the drive for a bite like that! Great video man I'm really liking your channel I'm sure your gonna have a ton of new subscribers piling in
Like the bank fishing. Cheap ass Freddy the frog! We love using jigs with swimbait trailers! Nice video and tight lines from BFG
Man I wish we had some ponds like that!!! Great way to relax and just have fun!! Fish On!
Wow man save some for your buddy. Haha
Great video Andrew


Good stuff andrew
Had a blast brother. Thanks for coming out
