berkeley tri-lane green line i got two little split shots on right there and typically this time of year we fish these creek mouths because the creek water is much cooler than what's out here this like 83 degrees out here go up in the creek just a little little piece and it's in the 70s so you've got cooler water discharge and then the fish like it the minnows like it got a lot of oxygen in it

honor she went lord let's catch another let's do it ronnie they hitting them gizzards right there yeah man we've been here 15 minutes ronnie got him a nice small mouth a couple of nice strikes now folks we only had like a few of them gizzards but now we caught several of these these are thread fin shad and uh so i just put one of these on i don't even know if there's any more gizzards in there ronnie we might have should have took time to catch more gizzard you know basically folks if y'all knew the live bait fishing especially in this river like ronnie and i are doing i mean you basically got two type baits you got gizzard shad and you got thread fin shad and uh i mean these fish will eat both of them the only difference is a gizzard shad is a little bit more hardier than a thread fin shad thread fins are a little bit more sensitive and they're harder to keep alive especially for a long period of time but now especially this time of the year i mean here we are end of july and i mean it's supposed to be well today it's not too bad but it's been like yesterday was like a heat index of like 105 something like that so it's i mean it's hot and uh but basically you got two that that's the two main baits that we fish with out here on the river now sometimes we get lucky and we catch uh shiners golden shot wild golden shiners now that's a really good bait too but you don't catch them very often get it ronnie ronnie is he still on it oh that's gonna be another one of them that's another is that is that a stripe we don't know i know i keep saying it now but uh we don't know i'm gonna have to get up there i won't i won't do that again i'm gonna throw it out there leave my bail i'm gonna go up there with this net and get ronnie's big fish it's gonna be another one of them stripe i believe i believe that's what's in here today i think it's a bass you think it's a bass i do really i don't know no it's a stripe right yeah nothing another stripe what is that in there no salt water hybrid so far we ain't caught nothing but salt water strike we think you find out right here oh ronnie he's pulling oh that's another good one son whoa ronnie are you doing the dance with him ain't you he's doing whatever he wants i mean here we uh it's just oh yeah it still takes a day those things are so far they just stay out that's when it's just all this to it you get this on a thread fin yeah that's good no that might be us well no no it's salt water got him whoo ronnie congratulations sir yeah that's what i'm talking about now drop her down there ron a little we'll see

that's a nice white bass that's a white bass right there y'all some people call them stripe but actually white bass razorhead is what i call them because they'll cut you and uh so actually i call these minnow eaters that's what they are minnow eaters and that's pretty nice one right there yes it is well so far we caught saltwater stripe white bass smallmouth bass on this live bait when you uh when you throw smaller baits like this right here this thread fins like we're fishing with now because we're basically out of gizzard shad bigger gizzard shad you're gonna catch you're gonna catch a smaller fish and you're gonna catch different kinds of fish on the smaller bait uh that's that's one thing about using that big gizzard shad you eliminate catching the smaller fish like i just called like that white bass right there because they can't get it in their mouth good not a big gizzard shad get him ronnie ronnie wait a minute i may have one too i got one too ronnie we both doubled up
