Thanks dan

What lake is this refering too?

You do realize YouTube videos are edited right. 99 out of 100 trips you are not going to catch fish almost every cast. If you really want to watch YouTube and learn look up Tactical Bassin. They are very informative

Yes big brother I was not born yesterday, that is a good one, larry nixion’s videos are informative too, I grew up watching fishing shows they even hired a guide fished days and showed 20 minutes of fishing

I love Nixon also. He was (often) a big line bank beater like me!😀

thank you

D1988 thank you I bet that day was a blast one of these days that will be me....

yes C ive been watching tactical bassin and they are really helpful

I have four boar ramps on my lake one on the creek and three others on different parts of the main lake. Every time I go fishing I stop and think ok what ramp do i need to go to. are they in the creek are they in the main lake then i choose one. When i get there and have fished for hours with no bite i think to myself dang i should have went to the other ramp.

oh well it will get better because it cant get worse. i only have a 12ft jon with a 5 hp merc so i cant just make a run to the other side of the lake it would take all day. I have to pick an area and stick with it or load up and drive to other ramps.

thats the reason i asked if they are in the creek or main lake.

Lake types:

Some lakes are far more predictable than others, and therefore far more successful.

We like to fish like buying a lotto ticket, hoping to get lucky and win, we cannot be consistently successful fishing based on luck and hope!

A Cove lake like grapevine that has no natural cover and very little shallow water?

Verses a natural lake like caddo, that is very shallow and has very little structure, and massive expanses of unproductive cover.

A natural lake like Caddo is the most difficult lake to be successful, the most difficult or even impossible to predict locations of fish!
They are scattered everywhere, like finding a needle in a haystack!

Yet a cove lake like grapevine is the easiest lakes to fish, the most predictable locations of large schools of bass! Located on defined migration routes that lead from the deepest water to the shallows.

But we prefer to fish caddo, it’s our comfort zone, shallow water, visible objects to cast to, I have fished some of the most beautiful Bassiest, snakiest, looking water there is with absolutely no fish there, and I have fished very ugly water like strip pits where the bass are stacked up on deep points like cord wood!

Rarely does our comfort zone and the basses comfort zone actually match!

The basses comfort zone is main lake deep 30 to 35 feet sanctuary out in the middle of the lake, to fish there you are going to be way out of your comfort zone, dealing with high winds and waves, and burning sun and heat in summer, but our comfort zone is a protected cove casting to docks that have very few fish.

Knowledge is the key to success!
90 percent of the fish are in 10 percent of the lake!

thank you G!

went to a friends tank. worm dragging on bottom. its small but it is my PB.

my sons PB caught on kiddy pole in holder behind him. not sure the weight.

Everyone sucks at fishing, blindly casting for a needle in a hay stack! Trying to catch the 5 percent in heavy cover.

The best advice I can give is ignore anything gruber says
