MYSTERY POND BASS FISHING (TIPS & TECHNIQUES) FLUKE & SENKO

samuelcasandra4169

Ive eyeballed this little pond near my house for over a year since moving and wondered how the bass fishing would be if I ever decided to fish it. I always travel light when shoreline bass fishing, &amp; with barely a couple hours to do some mystery pond bass fishing, I threw a couple bags of baits in my pockets and grabbed a couple rods to investigate. It turned out to have a couple bass swimming around in it! I offer up a few tips and techniques along the way as to how I attack a new pond from shore, so I hope this video entertains as well as helps a few learn a trick or two on how to bass fish a mystery pond of your own!\r \r THANK FOR WATCHING!!!\r \r *Links to some of the bait &amp; tackle I use:\r \r *Gamakatsu EWG Hooks: \r *Zoom Super Fluke: \r *Gary Yamamoto Senko: \r *Lews Casting Reel: \r *Seaguar Invizx Fluorocarbo Line: \r *Line Conditioner: \r *Line Cutters: \r \r *Costa Del Mar Sunglasses: \r \r Links to the camera equipment I use:\r \r *Current GoPro equivalent: \r *External Audio Mic: \r *Open Side Skeleton Housing: \r *GoPro Chest Mount: \r \r *Amazon Associates Hyperlinks\r \r MAILING ADDRESS:\r YouTubeFISHINGVIDS\r PO BOX 1568\r Clarksburg, MD 20871

00:00all right guys Cornell with YouTube fishing vids welcome not a board but a

00:07long tiny little pond right by my house never fished it before got all the baby

00:13geese hanging out let's see what we can do this place is interesting I've been

00:17seeing this driving by it looks like it's got some potential I don't know

00:20what I'm dealing with here but I've got a couple rods on me I've got Senkos and

00:26flukes and a little couple popping hollow body frogs so let's see what we can do

00:31all right guys it doesn't get any easier than this when it comes to pond fishing

00:34for me I like to keep it simple I don't like to carry a big bag I don't like to

00:38carry much of anything if I don't have to so one little bag which was zoom flukes

00:43and still is zoom flukes but I've got nothing more but the little pearl white

00:46watermelon and inside the bag I've added a couple little treats I got my little

00:53baby hollow body frog that's a little live target baby frog I got the little

00:57lunker pocket frog and I've got one more frog in here I think it's a lunker city

01:02that's the popping popping lunker hunt in that little bluegill pattern so I got a

01:08couple really cool little baits in one little bag and of course in the other

01:11pocket can't come to a pond without these guys you know what I'm about to

01:15break out there they are get a little bag of Senkos so I got my Senkos a little

01:20sink effect a little subtle presentation I got some flukes that I can skim

01:25across the surface or let sink or dead stick do whatever I got to do and of

01:28course on the ponds the most fun part is getting yourself a little popping frog out

01:32there because you know there's frogs out here and I got cloud cover I got calm

01:35water so there's little popping frogs going on but for now I'm gonna throw on a

01:39fluke I'm gonna start it with a fluke and see if there's any active fish in here

01:42with a little bit of stained water you know what I'm gonna go pearl white get that

01:47all hooked up I've already got the one rod set up pretty darn easy a little six

01:53foot eight medium action rod with 12 pound test and a four-aught extra wide

02:00gap Galagatsu so let's go ahead and set that up get it on let's throw this thing

02:08out there and see what it can do a little change up from my normal routine I miss

02:16Florida and I miss those Florida golf course ponds I'm used to fishing

02:23here we go how much vegetation in here I thought it'd be a lot more weedy but

02:28there's our fluke let's see what happens

02:38so

02:46you

02:50you

02:54you

02:56hey guys there's bass in this little pond you ever drive by a pond and wonder

03:19I ain't wondering anymore it's a dink but that was my third cast so okay we got some fish in

03:25here that's great let's just see if there's anything bigger than the dink on a fluke

03:41oh that was a good one I saw that one he didn't get much of it though let's see if he comes back

03:49and gets it what I didn't show you guys is the fact that I brought my spinning rod also I bought

03:53my little Stratix CI4 and my Lou's medium action shaky head stick and I actually still have my

03:59shaky head on from the last time I was out on my local lake I'm going to throw this out there

04:04just missed a fish on that zoom fluke I'm going to go ahead and see if I can catch something

04:07on the bottom with this before I tie on a little popping frog

04:10all right guys here's the reason I don't like throwing shaky heads too much on ponds

04:31lots of muck generally ponds have really soft bottoms so Texas rigs a little bit better with

04:36that little you know bullet shaped weight those shaky heads pick up a lot of stuff they're really

04:40made for more hard bottom and that's why I'm taking it off and I'm putting on that popping

04:43frog that popping frog I think going to be the deal I just saw a fish pop and break on a little

04:48bluegill or something so we're going to go ahead and put it on before this sun pops out of the clouds

04:53and it doesn't give me as good an opportunity to throw top water so here it comes a little lunker hunt

04:58baby popping frog of course with a shaky head I've got a leader line of fluorocarbon

05:02and that fluorocarbon is going to be gone I'm going to get rid of that I'm going to go straight

05:07braid so it's going to be 15 pound test braid because it floats no stretch I don't want keys I want

05:13my cutters get those out all right so we're going to lose that leader line and that shaky head

05:22we're going to get a straight polymer knot to my popping frog

05:28yeah there's stuff there's stuff popping right now on the shore there's stuff moving up out of

05:35nowhere things are starting to happen so let's see if I can get this popping frog on before

05:39gets too hot and sunny they'll hit it all they'll hit it all day long though don't worry about that

05:47hot and sunny stuff I'm talking about guys they'll pop and frog there's weeds and vegetation

05:50have it tied on it's an awesome awesome way to get them to come up and a fun way to catch them

05:56so just a nice polymer knot

05:58you guys like to be stingy on your braid normally guys when you're doing that polymer knot you're

06:06supposed to pull that tag end but don't worry about it with braid pull that main line and save all that

06:11line if you want and then cinch it all the way down one more pull and you got a polymer knot without

06:18wasting too much braid off your spool generally want to pull that tag line on any kind of mono or

06:26fluorocarbon to avoid any burns in the main line so there you go

06:30popping frog time guys here we go all right let's see if they're happening

06:35okay guys nothing on the popping frog so they didn't want that might just not be the time of day

06:59might not be the type of frog but I'm going to go ahead and cut that off I'm going to turn this

07:02spinning rod into a Senko rod so I'm going to take that 10 pound test that I had on that shaky head

07:09and I'm going to go ahead and put a little leader line a 10 pound test fluorocarbon I'm going to go

07:13ahead and get my 4-0 extra wide gap and then throw on a Senko so hang in there with this water being

07:19kind of stained it's really not that big a deal to get this leader line fluorocarbon on here but

07:24I think every little bit helps so I'm going to go ahead and do it so 10 pound test fluorocarbon

07:31Albright so I'm going to do my Albright knot here if you guys ever seen this or not I'm trying to do

07:38this without boring you guys and hopefully I won't be too slow about it this is 15 pound test braid

07:46a little bend over

07:493 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 I'll do like 16

08:15for good measure this is like I said 10 pound test 15 pound test braid it was any lighter if this was

08:21like 6 pound test on my drop shot rod my Albright is going to be 20 to 24 wraps on my 10 pound test

08:29braid I'll let it go real slow about it guys bring that in real slow even real slow don't let those

08:39loops get on top of each other you're going to get a real clean knot that way look forward a little bit

08:45hopefully you guys can see that but that's a really clean super strong knot I'll just trim the

08:55hinges one pull on the main line tag in one pull on the never too much guys just a little bit to get

09:09that night not cinched down there's a perfect Albright knot solidifying the connection between your braid and

09:16leader all right so trim it down and we'll tie on that

09:204 aught extra wide gap for a 5 inch Senko and we'll game on here in a second

09:29there it is all right so that's going to be your

09:334 aught it's not the super line one guys you know this rod system medium action and it's not a hundred

09:41percent straight braid it's got that little cushion effect with that 10 pound test fluorocarbon leader

09:46so with a little bit extra penetration with no worry of straightening out your hook those standard

09:52extra wide gaps are all you need the super lines have got a lot more mass to them and you'll lose a

09:59little penetration if you're using too light a rod or too light or or stretch your line all right

10:09keep those lines parallel perfect and wet it down just loop it around again guys this is where you

10:18want to pull on this is where you want to pull on your tag end on your palm or not remember that

10:23keep everything parallel as best you can pull on that tag and you lose a little line but you don't

10:27want to get that main line burnt and there you go all right 10 pound test to a 4 aught extra wide gap

10:3410 to 15 pound test main braid and my phone's ringing

10:39see if anybody important nope

10:44fishing's always more important

10:48all right there we go all right guys so like i said i got two bags here in my

10:57pockets we're traveling light so there's the bag with a couple extra hooks some flukes and a couple

11:03popping frogs in one pocket in the next pocket how easy is that guys how like can you travel for pond

11:11fishing bag a green pumpkin five inch senkos little little cool dip on it get a little orange tip tail to

11:21it okay guys and here's your senko deal everybody knows this but maybe not if you all if there's

11:29few of you guys didn't know that there's your five inch senko texas rig i work the seam guys there's a

11:34little seam there it helps keep everything perfectly lined up so straight in the head just about to the

11:39point where that bends and come right out where that seam is and if you come out where that seam is

11:44you'll be able to go back in where that seam is and by doing that you've got everything perfectly

11:49perfectly straight so come out past that little bend and that's where you want it to come out

11:54so just line that up with your thumb go right back in at that seam and you're going to have

12:00everything perfectly lined up i come out virtually perpendicular a little bit off perpendicular

12:04back out the other seam on the other side and there's a perfectly straight senko and of course

12:11if there's a little bit of weeds skin it so there's your senko guys that's my routine for getting that

12:18going so time to get this thing out in that pond see if anything wants to bite here we go

12:25all right guys senko strikes again that'll do it for me nice little fish on my mystery pond i can't

12:45believe it i can believe it but how many how long have i been driving by this pond only to wonder and

12:53now to have it val val validated is where i'm trying to find here we go nice little fish in
