In this video I totally bust my boat right after catching a huge bass flipping heavy cover. I also drop some fishing tips, techniques, and rod and reel setup for flipping and pitching grass for spring bass.
I can honestly say the first 5 casts with my fishing rod this morning cost me $3000. I made a horrible mistake out fishing the lake after I caught a bass on a jig, I nearly broke down in tears. I guess this is why I should go bank fishing!!!! We try to run through some less talked about patterns for fall fishing and fall bass location as well as what fishing lures and soft plastic worms and baits are the best for catching more fish this time of year.
Going full HOBO – I got the new fishing truck I wanted to find a deal on a bigger truck like a RAM 2500 and I wanted to be on the road homeless but literally feel at home sleeping in the truck. This is step 1 in the process of travel video road trip fishing! I originally wanted a Ford F-250 but price point (poverty LOL) and some other travel features drove me to the Ram 2500. It’s gonna be like living in a van – almost literally but the larger bed and some of the DIY tweaks I make along with adding a topper are going to make homeless road trip life feel pretty homey!

Fishing for bass is a contact sport on Lake Okeechobee and sometimes you end up bleeding from injuries – especially when you punching for bass! Well that’s what happened to poor Bass Quest when grabbing a 7+lbs Lake Okeechobee bass that I had punched out of heavy cover and he ended up bleeding all over the place! In summer you can’t beat targeting heavy cover using the pitching technique to present fishing lures to fish setup in water around heavy cover. When it comes to fishing techniques it’s one of my favorite and it’s such an intensely INSANE way to catch fish on any lake.
Sorry Bass Quest for making you bleed!!!
Key fishing lures were a punching rig with a Hawg Tech Tungsten weight and a Gambler 4″ Flippn Tube paired up with a 5/0 Owner Hook.
It’s the final fishing tournament with the old bass boat before we move all the gear and graphs to the new Triton fishing rig! Fished a super clear lake with my good buddy Charlie who is a stick out there! Different format tournament than your standard fishing derby – got to sleep in and rig rods in the morning . Had time to shoot some video about the rigs we’re using out there too and what catches fish in super clear water situations during the transition between spawn to post spawn. But all in all it’s the final voyage with the old fishing boat. She will be missed but change is good! Can’t wait to get the new girl out there and break her in with some giant bass!
