We ganna ignore that dinosaur just casually walking behind him!? 2:35
I remember Tims tackle box Mr Tim and his brother use to give me a hat every year !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks-I have some of these and never knew how to fish them
I was just debating on using that type of hook actually ordered some from tackle warehouse for flipping saw old video of Rick clunn 1970 vid using this style with a bait keeper
I’m going down to Toho this weekend for the first time I planned on flipping grass and looking for deeper clean hydrilla. I have no electronics on my boat…any advice would be greatly appreciated!
There's lots of good hydrilla on the south end of the lake right now. Just look for the bigger open holes in it!

Grateful for this video. On my lake (upper Midwest) a quick yo-yo retrieve just above the coontail grass works wonders and nearly anywhere with any retrieve when the wind is well up. 🎣🪷💨
Sweet video! You guys kill it!
Appreciate it man thanks!
7 pounder? Nice fish
I grew up fishing Apopka area lakes and ponds. There was a time when I fished nothing but a 3/4 oz trap for a year.
hard to beat it!
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
great vid! new supporter here
Agreed!
what size, oversize front hooks do you recommend, when removing the rear trebles? May have to try removing the rear trebles, as here in florida, like you know, i generally fish this bait in 3' - 6' of water.
Just one to two sizes up from the original trebles is all you need to go. It can help a bunch when fishing in the grass!
Will it work in Texas too?
Yeah it will work anywhere as long as you're throwing it on top of grass!
@@OrlandoBassGuides I was joking, because you said Florida is if it wouldn't work other places. However if you're honestly going to give real advice my question is; would it work in murky pond water? Because that's really all I have around me. That and muddy looking creeks.
Yeah it will work in murky water. Just make sure you're throwing around grass. Rattletraps always work best around grass. If there's a clean bottom or brush around then banging a square bill crankbait into the bottom or off the brush tends to work better.
Thanks, Greatly appreciate the tips. I'm a big fan of the rattle trap.
You bet!
New subscriber here....I'm liking the channel👍 I was checking out your website.....do you offer artificial only trips? Also, when exactly do you stop doing the 8 hour trips? Thanks.
Yup we offer artificial only trips! And June through October is when we stop doing 8 hour trips because of the heat. The bulk of the bite all happens in the first 4 hours during those months with the heat we get. Let me know if you have any other questions.
4 or 5 round bend for flukes and large worms.
I use both 4/0 and 5/0 hooks. It just depends on the size plastic and how much weight you want to add. Typically if there's no wind or a light wind I'll use 4/0 and if there's a heavier wind I'll use a 5/0
That's a pretty good idea. I ain't ever seen those nail weights before
Yeah they change the game when it comes to fishing a fluke!
Grest vid and content. Just subbed to the channel for future vids. Keep up the great work and keep them coming. Tight lines man
Thanks!
Logs and rocks too
Could always use Googans Klackin claw... rattles build inside
that actually sounds pretty awesome, haven't seen it yet
Their SCALES HITTING TOGETHER?!?! WTF?
I might fish for bass (and many other species) but in my years of fishing i have come to notice bass fisherman know fuckall about fish.
Gives me confidence anyway.
It got hot out down here all of the sudden! I live in the same area. Would you use a leader for clear water? And, I take it you’ve tried belly weighted hooks and like the nail weights better?
Yeah I'll use a leader or just straight flourocarbon if the waters clear or if there isn't much wind. And I've got a friend who's tried belly weighted hooks on them and he's never done any good so I just stick with the nail weights. You get the best action.
@@OrlandoBassGuides I thought my neighborhood pond was dead. I caught 7 doing this yesterday. I would have caught more, but I definitely set the hook a little too hard. I’ve been using spinning gear for so long, and I had to dust off my baitcaster for this. Thank you!
Glad you were able to catch them off it! All it takes is using a lure that matches the action of the bait and you can crush them anywhere!
Good morning sir/fisherman
Good morning!
Finially a cameramen eaten by shark!!! History Made.
Time to get swimming
Just purchase EWG brands where the hook point in positioned above the line tie - avoid the brands that have the hoop point aligned with the line tie.
I made the switch to straight shanks. Big difference.
A lot of people blame the hook for losing fish. But really, it's how they are setting the hook. If you swing all the way to Oklahoma with all your might to set the hook, it's more likely that you are quite literally ripping the fish's lip. It don't take much for a sharp hook to penetrate the mouth of a fish. Quit swinging like you are trying to snag a carp and I bet your hookup rate will go up.
I was wondering about that myself. I use straight and EWG for different rigs, and have no trouble pinning a bass and keeping it pinned on any kind of soft plastic if it is rigged properly in the first place. I do keep my hooks extra sharp though. A few quick passes with a good hook hone works like magic and only takes seconds. It does seem that very few people any more, know how to actually properly sharpen a hook.
Always use these as a last resort and i always say "if i dont get even a bite on this there aint anything in here"
They have got to be the most boring bait in the world but man does it work!
Would be nice if I knew what it looked like.
The plastic stick worms. Literally just straight. Yum dingers or gary Yamamoto senkos. They sell them anywhere they sell bait.
Look at Ryugi EWGs. The hookpoint is not inline with the hook eye, but far above.
Never use ewg hooks, so I can catch more fish than you while I continue to use ewg hooks😅 soo many clickbait fishing videos, and this one might take the cake.
Used MIster Twister keeper hooks for years. Maybe I should go back to them.
So what do you use on super thick baits like the fat ika and yamatanuki??
he uses a size 4 mountain trout hook for TUNA 😂
It depends on the bait, but typically if it's a thicker bait I'll just use a bigger size hook for it. Or if that doesn't work, then a 4/0 to 5/0 straight shank flipping hook works well. Some people use flipping hooks for all their soft plastics over both EWGs and worm hooks.
You didn’t show the worm hook clearly or show us how you rig it up on this hook, compared to EWG hook.
I use a 4/0-5/0 offset worm hook. And you rig it up the same as you would with a EWG. I texas rig all my soft plastics
What about people that have experienced where they have a better hook up ratio with ewg hooks, and say they are better for weedless rigging.....
naw man, you can't use those for creature baits, at least use a flipping style straight shank hook. You say you still miss a fish those worms hooks and you will on some baits. Just bend your point sideways or buy some decoy or ryugi offset that are made that way.
Yeah you're right, for flipping creature baits and beavers I always use a 3/0 or 4/0 flipping style hook with a snell knot. You need the extra gap of that hook to overcome the bigger weight infront of the hook. But for flukes and any type of worm I like offset worm hooks.
There is more to just dismissing EWG hooks than that. I like to use the right sizes which are both compatible to the size of the target fish's mouth and the baits. Typically I am mostly using 1/0 or 2/0 on smallmouth and they work fine with swimbaits. I am not working mats vertically... I do agree that I prefer to use an offset worm hook when I can, however some baits just don't fit those hooks as well..
You're right, I did forget to mention that I still use the EWG hooks with the point above the eye for soft plastic swimbaits because you have to in order to rig them correctly
No sir, wont catch me putting ol faithful away, i dont share your problem. We'll keep catching fish on EWG.
If it's working for you, keep on using them! Especially if you're not losing any fish on the ones you use
It can depend on the brand.
Nice clickbait. Maybe include IMHO in the title.
they make EWG hooks where the point is bent outwards a tad, making the hookup ALOT better.
Yeah the best EWG hooks that are still worth getting are the new Hybrid ones some companies are making like VMC
ngl but the googan hammer hook is like in between the off set worm hook and ewg and the hook up ratio is great
Yeah some of the new hybrid EWG worm hooks some companies are making are a lot better with the hook being above the eye
The ringed EWG hooks will change your mind especially for flipping.
I'll have to check those out, I've never used them!
We’ll I have missed almost non on Senko so I’ll stick with them for that but not for flukes intuitive angling has a in-depth video on g finesse hooks on flukes and it’s 99 percent hook up ratio but I do like those worm hooks too
I haven't seen Randy's video on those hooks. I'll have to check it out!
Its true. Before a cold front best fishing
No doubt!
Do fish not like sunlight?
Most fish aren't able to adjust the pupil size to cope with a lot of light, so when the sunlight is strong, they tend to go deeper. It's also easier for the fish to be seen by other predators in sunlight.
@@Vassenden_yt thank you :). Just got my license a few days ago. This helps a ton!
This guy sounds a business corporate owner. He does not understand the hard work that makes his money. He is a rich spoiled brat 😂
The rougher the better. Better action on the lures.
