Fishing Mistakes I Learned the Hard Way - Fishing Basics

Cool vid

Got skunked today, this made me feel better. Thanks.

bro this is gem

Power master

I just got the 2000th like🤓🥺

I have a trout set up for streams and it’s easy to catch but once I throw a from or fake worm on the same setup for bass I get skunked all day. Should I change my set up and if so what do you recommend

Im 27 and getting back into fishing lately, live in minnesota and that texas bass and knots tip hit me like a truck

Very very very good video.

Couldn't have said it better! cheers!

One of the big mistakes I made, was buying too much fishing gear at once.

When I got back into it, I spent hundreds of dollars on gear that I ended up not using. I stuck to only the a few basic lures and some basic terminal tackle. I suggest stick to the basic lures, like a crankbait, plastic worms, inline spinner and a topwater. once you understand how they work, you can expand and find out what works in your area.

If you are in any way saltwater fisher, rule number one, spin is a scam. You will have more luck buying fish in the market than investing in catching it haha

bro got a gps for fishing

I've also got a tip for beginning fishermen.
It's a good idea to use line that is tested for a lesser weight than your rod. That way, if you catch a chunker and the only way this fight will end is with something breaking, you spare the rod and take it out on the cheaper line instead.

Hey nat. Im 29 and just picked up the hobby after not fishing since i was a kid. Im struggling to know what lures to use and where to fish. Im in wisconsin myself. Id love some pointers on what to use where

I love these videos!!!

Great advice. Thanks for posting.

Edit: subbed

I'm in Michigan

Great video just subbed

The brown trout was a monster!!!

I’ve bin fishing for 2 YEARS now and I haven’t caught any thing I’ve watched many tutorials but I hope this video helps if u have any tips plz tell

My favorite go-to knot for fishing has to be the Palomar knot, but the Uni knot is arguably stronger, so I might have to switch lol

I almost never get skunked when I go fishing.

But that's because the first thing I ever do when I go fishing is break out my tiny flies and go micro fishing.

Hey you're from Wisco too!

Rock solid advice

Love it

If you had to choose one rod/reel set up for a beginner bass angler what make/models would you suggest? All the 'pros' say to get a good 65# braided line which I did, but now I'm looking for the R&R

I've been fishing every few months for the last 4 years and haven't caught anything yet lol I feel like these tips will definitely help me out!

Yes, pros do get skunked, There was a tournament earlier this year at Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri and on the final day one third of the competitors failed to catch a single fish.

I always used a black rubber worm in the weedy areas . I still do 40 + years later .
I carry such a variety of tackle on my kayak that I hardly get skunked . But , even if you get skunked , atleast you got out there and had some fun.

I just caught a 70cm pike with some random lure I found but then a random man came to me unhooked the fish and set it free without me taking a picture I said I want to take a picture and he said ye ye big I know it’s big

Just picked up fishing here in Texas, excited to learn with your vidoes and my own experiences!

This is a great video and I think this should be a regular series because there are so many things to learn that I wanted to give up many times in the beginning and I'm still in the beginning after only fishing for a year

Just came home from a 7 hour fishing trip trying to get a decent sized trout from a spot I’ve heard has tons of big ones.
..all I got was one that was smaller than my hand, lol. At least the video made me feel better about it.

hahaha I also only use inline spinners I caught my pb fish on it in scotland while traveling but where I live the spinners isnt working

I'm in New England and yeeeeeah on that southern tips for big bass

Getting skunked is like 75% of fishing. It's all about the act fishing!

Fish on.

Pointing your rod tip at your lure is good one but in lakes and ocean. In shallow waters, river and rapid moving water it won't always work. Point is to make the lure swim naturally and that means directing it over rocks, plants etc. The lure can also sink too much if you point the rod tip at the lure.

Whats the weedless verson of 1/8 oz inline spinners? 😂

Hey Nat,
Would love for you to do a guide on setting the hook. I'm a beginner and am rather frustrated at how many hooks I've had that are poor quality (fish is barely on) and cases where the hook is unremovable. Thanks!

👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

I always get skunked when I'm fishing with lures. Anyone got tips?
