there's one first fish of the day [Music] oh that feels good hello hello did you guys see that jump i haven't even opened my video yet oh yes not a big guy but we will take it come here little friend [Music] nice best number one of the day little tyke we'll take them well hello everyone welcome back to another episode of maddie up north and check out our first little bath eater of the day this guy was super cute i'll let you know what i'm doing where i am but first we're gonna let him go what a way to open a video see ya [Music] so there you go as i said what what a way to start a video um if you can't tell already i am back in the kayak kayak video number one of 2021 we're already in 2021 so yeah friends i know it's been a little while since i've been in this little machine here um but yeah our lakes on froze i don't know close to two months ago but bass and pike and walleye opener was just a couple days ago so i have been out once so far this year was on this lake doing a little scouting the other day it was a little slow but i caught a few bats and i caught one pike so i'm back at it today to see if i can get some more in the kayak today basically where we're at right now we're pretty much in the spawn so it's 62 degrees water temp um that fish that i just caught a little large mouth was on just a simple worm set up and then i've got kind of everything with me i've got a chatter bait when i want to cover a little bit more water i've got a jig tied up i've even got a frog in case i want to give that a go so i gotta say i got out a little bit late today i had some things to take care of this morning there's been a lot of fishermen out here both boat fishermen and kayak fishermen so these fish between that and having opener two days ago they're definitely gonna be pretty pressured so i'm gonna try up a lot of different things today that is it for now i'm gonna waste no more time i'll explain more as we go but i'm going to keep fishing because the fish they're hungry so this is what i'm getting started with today just a pretty simple little worm setup i've got a eighth ounce weight i wasn't really sure how deep i'd be fishing but um probably could go weightless here but i was hoping it'd be i don't know something a little different that these fish haven't hopefully seen much of in the last couple days but pretty clear water i'm just kind of looking for some harder bottom which as you can probably see isn't really the case right where i am i'm in kind of shadow shallow weedy water but um hopefully drifting in the right direction here it's a pretty windy day so i'm drifting pretty fast in the kayak i came to an area that's a little bit more a little bit more protected but as you can see still kind of drifting along oh yes there are definitely definitely fish cruising around one of the cool things about kayak fishing that i love is uh you know sometimes things are more difficult the wind is pushing me around pretty good but um you can get into some places a little bit more discreetly than you can with a big boat so just gliding on through here as you can see standing up pretty easily and seeing a lot of fish swimming around oh boy oh boy i just went over a big fish a moment to go and got tapped right in that spot usually i try not to drift directly over my fish just a word to the wise but you know what happens nothing nothing else in a little bit here i told myself that i was going to catch another fish before i ate my breakfast but that's not gonna happen so um yeah a little so i mean there's a bunch of fish and that's kind of how it can go this time of year oh yeah this if you are looking for like a healthful nutrient-packed real good boat breakfast this my friends you do like equal parts oatmeal chia seeds if you want if you have them cover it in milk any kind of milk of your choosing cinnamon walnuts blueberries and it is uh dense this is packed with uh goodness fiber protein to keep you going throughout the day yeah there's definitely a good amount of fish but they seem pretty finicky i think part of it so i'm just probably not that good at this style of fishing but getting better every time i'm out um and yeah there's been a ton of boats out here and a ton of people the last couple days so i'm gonna probably try to do something a little bit different i'm gonna give these fish kind of on this whole stretch of shoreline that i've been going over a couple times a little bit of a breather stop harassing them um i found several real good fish real good areas a couple days ago when i was out there's been a lot of boats on them today but i'm gonna probably poke around do some exploring but in the meantime enjoy this delicious breakfast oh there's a fish oh here's something this looks little oh my goodness you guys it's a crappie no way [Music] sweet i didn't even know these were in here i'm not surprised nice ha it's one of the fun things about using a bait like this you can catch lots of different species look how beautiful dark this one is beautiful nice and sizable too check this out this is a fish that i was not intending to catch today but i am super pumped about it we will go ahead and let them go bye quiet little guy well cool how fun you know it's funny this lake too i just found literally by using google maps last year hopping on the dr nara website seeing what was in here and gave it a go so goes to show you try out new spots and you will be rewarded i've had just a ton of fun kind of picking apart this new to me body of water and i've caught a lot of fun fish on it so two fish in the boat mid-morning let's continue so i'm on a part of the lake that i've actually never fished before it's a little bit deeper over here but i'm just gonna give it a go and i'm throwing on a chatter bait definitely a good bait this time of year when you wanna cover some ground water if you will see what you see so i'm gonna give this a go probably won't spend too much time over here but looks a little juicy we've got some weeds we had a little bit of hard bottom some downed trees you know whole shebang this could be a little spot too oh boy just had a good i don't know 10 inch pike literally right when i said this could be a spot little baby pike went over this baby just had another pike swipe at it little guy totally missed it though all right man oh man that fish acted like a muskie another pike just followed in that one was pretty good 25 inches or so just followed in and pretty much nosed up to this i almost went into a figure eight oh there's a good one oh yeah good pike oh boy [Music] oh did you guys see it i just watched that fish take it just side swiped it oh it's a good pike stay on stay on oh boy this guy is not super happy and i like it no [Music] no dang oh that was a good pike and he just got off oh bummer i just went back to grab release gear and ah darn well that was fun you know how it is with fish all it takes is one bad move i went back to look for some something to help me land it and bang he was off just like that i really need to start bass fishing with the net hey yeah yeah [Music] all right friends well it does look like i'm gonna get blown off the water by this front a little storm coming in any minute here so i'm gonna take a few more casts but i'm gonna close out this video now in case i don't get a chance to when the rain starts coming down so you know if i were to do this different i mean right now would be an awesome time to be throwing a jerk bait you know it's windy it's kind of gray out but all that stuff is in the car but one of those days i just wish that i had a little bit more time the fish are definitely finicky they've gotten a lot of pressure over the last couple days but certainly was a fun day out here gratifying to get a couple fish in the kayak a couple more things that i want to note before i let you go first of all this time of year remember bass spawn at different times so if you see some up shallow don't be afraid to spend some time a little bit deeper too in that you know 10 to 15 foot range caught my biggest bath of my life this time last year out a little bit deeper also one last thing i wanted to say i filmed a morel mushroom foraging video a few weeks back i actually went back out foraging about a week ago and i found morels on the property that i was looking at and i cooked up a really really awesome meal so i put that on the blog so if you wanted to follow up to that video check the description below for a link to that um and yeah i know it wasn't the most exciting day of fishing you know that's how daddy up north videos up and go but my goal with these videos is to get out here and to show you all how nice it is to be out here and to encourage you to give something new a try and give this beautiful sport of fishing a try so that i hope that you enjoyed it and i hope it encourages you to get back out there it's not always about the biggest fish it's not always about the most fish in fact it very rarely is for me but still a beautiful day and that is that so i'm gonna call it um thank you for watching and please give it a like and let me know what you thought in the description below okey-dokey that's it see you guys
