Yeah The Magic Bait Bucket Should Work Tom
Magic Bucket Bait 🐟⭐️👍
Sweet, magic bucket for the win, alright 🎣🤘🏽, great catches amigo🐟.
Can't fish with the Magic Bucket out here, just have to used more pack bait. I am with you when loud people show up time to go. Thats why I like fishing early morning. I really enjoy the people who set up by you and then turn their rap noise on full blast. Good video thanks
Yep, people are.....people. Thanks David.
Howdy Tom, Just watched this video for the first time. Great primer as the water starts to warm up and the carpin’ season approaches! Nice to see twitching rod tips and hear jingling bells and screaming drags! Keep up the great work in 2024!
Hey Art, good to hear from you again!
We can't spod in my State, but I'm always interested in fishing techniques. Some nice underwater footage w/cool audio today, that was nice! Seeing you have your so-so days also helps keep mine real. Hey, that's fishing and what makes stelar days really wild. Thanks for the Magic story, Tom.
Yep, the not-so-great days make the great days even better. Thanks James.
any video for grass carp fishing? grass carp fishing is also fan. like all your videos....my idol.
Thanks
That spod reel is the one i use on two of my poles right now. Been using them for 2 years now.
Nice 👍
Sitting here on the bank watching your video and putting some of that cold warter catfishing tips to use. Salted mackerel cut bait is killing the cats. Are still in the deep freeze out there
We finally got some temps above zero, which is nice. Good luck with those cold water cats!
I noticed in your last videos of this season you'd done a great job of keeping your weight off. Have you hit a mark you are happy with now or will you just keep punching new holes in you belt?
I don't have a particular number in mind. Just going to keep eating healthy and staying active and let the body be the weight it wants to be. I didn't do anything drastic, just removed processed food and alcohol from my diet. Thanks for noticing.
I bought a method feeder with just holes and a float on bottom. No good for corn kernels.Floats sideways
Tom, have you found a difference between spod baiting and spreading broad area with some type of throwing tool?
Nope, the spod just enables me to get the bait out farther than can be thrown from shore.
How long does it your pack bait to breakdown in the water? You seem to pack very tight.
No idea. Breakdown time doesn't matter to me, as I don't bury the hook in the pack bait.
One minor disagreement Tom. Some authorities do things for no apparent reason. Max two rod limit here, at a cost of $80/yr. I asked a Warden and he said to keep people from over harvesting. Huh? If you are enforcing a rod limit, you can enforce a creel limit. Other one is that in some areas of the state, chumming/baiting is legal; in other areas (mine) no. The irony is that the state would like to eliminate carp; but makes it hard to catch them. (Of course they sponsor bow fishing slaughters during the spawn.) Bureaucrats will do their thing, whether it makes sense or no. That's my opinion. Change my mind.
I don't disagree. On the bright side, you seem to have it better than the people of Minnesota. One rod and very strict bait regs. MN is the land of 10 thousand lakes, but I purposely don't vacation in MN because of the fishing regs. Iowa fishing regs booklet is 24 pages, MN fishing regs book is 92 pages. Can you beat 92?
No offense man, I'm the exact same way, but you are not a people person! You hate jet skis, boats, other people around you. Just cranky 🤣🤣😂. I'm a shore fisherman too so I can relate
No offense taken. Getting annoyed by annoying people and annoying things is not being cranky. Apparently being a people person means putting up with other people's crap. I'm not a fan of that. No, I'm not a people person.
Great video, make sure that the spool of your reel is tight, because if it suddenly slips that braid can cut your finger ,better to use a finger stall.
