The wrong bait in the right spot will catch fish but the right b as it in the wrong spot won’t . Completely agree that confidence is key !!
I’m moving towards simplicity just not quite there yet. Thanks for reinforcing this concept. Like anything else KISS( keep it simple dummy).
While most people dream of a fishing trip where five-plus-pounders devour your bait two out of three casts, it would get boring after a while.
Yes sir, its more about location than your lure.
Excellent video! Thank you from a new subscriber
Its more about finding the areas with fish and then picking whatever bait you can effectively present in those areas. Throw something similar to what you think they are eating in a color that kinda makes sense based on water color etc and you should get em.
When you started the video I thought this youngster is talking out the side of his mouth. After listening further I thought this kids pretty sharp and knows what he’s talking about. Thanks
Agreed!
This is so true, I caught myself when spring hit just basically trying too hard, way overthinking everything. It was frustrating when I realized it, lol, I reached down and tossed just an old school worm I learned on and first cast. “Keep it simple stupid”. <><
Sounds like you are a proponent of the k.i.s.s. method of fishing. This is a really awesome method of fishing or pretty much anything else in life. If you are going to be successful at fishing, you MUST be within a single cast length of the fish you are trying to catch. This is as true as true can get. Mastering the fundamentals is the key to achieving success. In anything. Great advice, Tyler. Thanks. 👍🇺🇸
Just use a lure that u have confidence in.. I dont fish for bass (eu) but on pike i fish a lot of the same baits.. Mostly covering a lot of water.. its about finding the areas that contain fish.. the lure isnt that important. If i find a hot spot i might go back and throw another bait.. it isnt that deep.. I never keep more then 5 baits with me.
All this yr I told myself ima take fishing more serious I haven't cought shit this yr pic worthy I need to go back to brush hogs and square bills
Great thoughts, Tyler! 👌🙌
Agreed 100%!!!! While seeking out where the fish are hanging out, it's always a good practice to use what you are most confident with that will cover a fair amount of water. Once there, pretty much everything will work if applicable to the conditions (depth being the primary factor). I was out on the kayak today on the local river, and once I located the fish, I caught Smallies with every single bait I had tied (three different soft & slow variations, one soft paddle tail, and a Whopper Plopper 60). Any one of the baits would have worked all day long once I got fish-adjacent). Nice work, Tyler!
I can’t believe how much money I spent on crank baits, jerkbaits, spinnerbaits, chatter baits, 12 different varieties of one hook style and all the rest of it, and I catch the vast majority of my fish on a wacky jig and a bag of plastic worms.
It’s hard not to buy all the up to date lures just to try out. But it always seems like I always end up going back to my confidence lures that I know will catch fish.
You can only improve upon feedback, not what you think works.
do expensive rods catch more bass?
Keep it simple is what ur saying thank you Tyler
I’m slowly coming around to this mind set. It’s hard not to try all the cool lures in your box that you have spent a ton of money on. It’s also disheartening and enlightening at the same time when your most productive lure is pitching a .49 cent black and blue Berkley pit boss.
Great advice Tyler!! You’re 100% correct.
Tyler, I have fished for forty years. i have read magazines and books about fishing. But I have learned more watching your videos than any other resource. Please keep the great videos coming. I know you have done this in the past; however, perhaps you can spend future videos discussing a specific type of lure and how to most effectively fish them. Also, as a collector of vintage fishing tackle, it would be interesting to hear about using lures that have been around for decades that still work. A friend of mine was recently fishing a lake in east-central Michigan and had good luck using Little Cleos and Johnson Silver Minnow Spoons; two lures that have been around for almost 100 years.
Shhhh don’t tell my wife that😂
Hey Tyler do you like the Spro Chad shad as well as your Storm Arashi glide? I know they have a little different action but I was just wondering what you think between the two.
Had a buddy that smoked camel cigarettes back when they gave you camel bucks for smoking their cigarettes. They sent him a lure that looked like the camel on the front of the pack.. HE Tore the bass up with it.
I love my bass hat
Tyler, is BFS fishing worth the money invested?
Exactly!! Just fish.
