I think about if you're sitting outside at a restaurant eating you didn't even notice the noise of the traffic. Until a rice burner or some loud diesel truck comes zooming by. With braids now there's no reason not to make super long casts.
Bingo!! Dont' make a damn sound when out there if you can help it. The big ones are super skittish. Great video and tips
Weird, makes sense but I sometimes catch bass while blasting tunes in my kayak with spot-lock on. Maybe I am only getting the naieve youngsters that like rock music😅.
I fish a lot like Bobby Lane and those techniques work. I make long casts with no trolling motor or electronics on. I catch a lot of 5lb+ bass. My pb is 8 lb 4 oz but I’ve caught a ton of 7+ lb bass.
It also helps to fish waters that have trophy bass…..Kenansville, Stick Marsh, Headwaters Reservoir and Rodman Reservoir , all in Florida
Your giving my long time secret away Tyler.
Now this is a good one … you wonder why it gets harder every year absolutely unbelievable there so pressured all you have to do is drop the trolling motor in ??? Crazy crazy craaazy
I just realized something.. where I fish there is a floating dock. And to the left some pilings to the right just submerged grass. We always go on the dock and fish the pilings or cast straight off the dock to deeper water. And we catch. Fish biggest one that style is probably 4 Ana half. But this made me realize the two biggest bass I’ve ever caught one 7 and one 6 lbs were when I didn’t walk on the floating dock. And fished the pilings from shore. Or the submerged grass to the right of the dock. I wonder if it was coincidence or if the bigger fish left the area when we walked on the floating dock.
I think they hear the waves slapping the hull even drifting. I have my doubts about the Hydrowave as a tool to cover up other noises. Have you ever done a vid on the Hydrowave?
Tyler this video is right on, I just spent the day punching and all I could think about was how bad my trolling motor was spooking them. It’s difficult to drift as you are at the mercy of the wind and current but I’m sure it will pay off
This is one of big reasons I fish in a kayak. Stealth is key for chasing the biggest smartest fish & something I'm always very aware of.
If you like bass behavior studies, you really need to check out some videos on Steve Roger’s fishing channel
Excellent Tips.
Many electronics can be “disabled” by simply pressing the Power button once and selecting “disable Sonar”. Just don’t forget to “enable” before the end of the day or you may forget you disabled your sonar on your next outing. OK! Only happened once to me.
I have a Honey Hole in a Channel in the Florida Keys where the baitfish will line tight to the side walls of the hole and the Barracuda and Tarpon will circle in the Hole. The baitfish will always stay 30’ from me. Using LiveScope, I have watched them move to 30’ away as I move closer to them. But some Barracuda will also setup under fishing boats to eat any released fish no matter what electronic signals are going out.
Be well.
Opposite of Noise=Bad:
My Friend has a spring fed pond stocked with Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass. When anyone comes to the water’s edge in the late evening, the Bass and Bluegill will move in as it is often Hot Dog feeding time!
He can actually hand feed one of the Alpha Smallmouth Bass!
Bro I just caught my PB smallmouth 6lbs even and I was right on top of it over a big healthy overhanging tree on a riverbank, drops off into about 8-9ft the whole tree, dead calm day, 630pm in upstate ny damiki rig baby z too 1st gen jaw dropper then on way in I got a 4 14 burning it in on a retrieve at the kayak. But I hadn’t paddle for 20 mins , just drifting making pitches. Sick video
When I was very young fishing with my grandfather, he used to say to me, “Shhhhhh! Be quiet! You’ll scare the fish!” I thought it was because I was always running my mouth talking non stop, but now I’m thinking he was actually onto something.
I’ve started seeing waaaayyy more 4+ lb fish while applying stealth to my fishing. I never believed it could make such a difference.
Go big or go home! 😎
This made me so sad cause I swear all the fish leave when I'm coming up to em 😢
I paused the video at 9 seconds. Let me guess……#1 LiveScoping…
Meh. Fish memory resets about every year. It’s probably just not tolerant of noise and flights
Moving baits catch bigger fish as well.Yes you can catch big fish on soft plastics and jigs but what I have found out is if you throw a lot of moving baits your gonna be more prone to hook up with bigger fish.
long cast? 60 to 80 feet?
Killer tip
Tyler I've been trying this lake close to me for awhile but haven't bable to catch anything over 3lbs. I've been there watching a weight-in & seen a couple go almost 8lbs. Both days. So I don't understand this lake.
I wear that exact sun shirt you are wearing on sunny days to help me be more stealthy. Love my Finn apparel.
Good information! Something I can't figure out and would be good information is where are the quality bass usually hiding? My cousin and I do local tournaments and we also catch quantity instead of quality. I would rather catch a couple bigs instead of a bunch.
Also being intentional about your casts helps. Not chucking fly balls with a big splash. Sliding those low casts with minimal splash is one more thing by you can do
The fish in my pond won't touch any lure if you step on our dock, because it feels the vibrations, but if you fish from the shore…. You're golden lol. Yes, stealth is very important.
I try to fish for that one big bite when I pull up on a good fish area. I turn the boat around& pull away back from a good spot- drift into a spot- yeah, quiet, far casts, hittin the spot before the bass knows youre there.That is huge.
