When nose hooking a dropshot make sure you bring the hook through the bottom and out through the nose. Will give you full movement of your bait without the spin
Mike i know this was done awhile ago but have you thought of doing a Livestream once in awhile? You should be able to activate donations to your channel and you could hse that to add to the funding of your amazing program. You can ask for questions to be sent in a month ahead of time, then answer some of them, but maybe take half the questions from your live audience. Love your show and even my wife enjoys listening to your story!!
Your a great teacher Mike. Im really enjoying your videos, I appreciate you sharing all the knowledge.
Mike i have to thank you again for the great tips. Im glad i got to say thank you in person at Lay lake this year. Keep up the good work.
Ight Ike. I’ve been following you most my fishing career and usually agree and follow your tips. The LAST THING I want to do is BITE a powerbait lol. Especially a Max Scent!!
I've been using the Ned rig ever since spring up here in the northeast
This Georgia heat is killing me. Have to night fish. As always boss, great video
Your Ike in the shop series is awesome..
These are Gold!
Been wanting to try the drop shot presentation. I use weedless hooks for wacky style with the wire that loops and hooks into the point of the hook. Would this hook work well to nose hook a worm for a drop shot?
Top 4 July baits in a hoodie 😂
I wish you would do a video on strip pits and the best kind of bait to use
Okay gonna lay it out there for those that aren’t up on game yet….
A Keitech, Berkley Power Swimmer, whatever your favorite swimbait is on a VMC weighted willow swimbait hook or Trokar swim blade slow rolled along the bottom = 🔥🔥🔥
That’s mike as always great video
I fish heavy cover, 1-3 ft of water. Duckweed, lilly pads and down trees. I catch more bass than anyone I know. Even guys who fish tournaments hahaha. No cheating electronics. I don't need them.
I don't use jighead that much when I fish from the riverbank. What would be the safest jighead size for river current. Slow to medium current depending on the tide going out or in from the Bay of Fundy to Fredericton of the Saint John River.
Ned Kehde designed the ned rig to swim just off the bottom i dont understand why no one fishes it that way.slow dragging it is a light finess texas rig.
Experimenting with modified Johnson Minnow spoons as weedless bank fishing tools this summer.
Like your videos. Thanks for explaining ideas/methods. Find it easier to watch when you do not yell so much. Enthusiasm, yes. Yelling no.
Great video Mike! I've been wanting to try a spoon, and this helps!
Great choices my favorite is cold beer and shade.
