This video was created mid-September. I have been a little slow doing the editing. I made the mistake of turning on the camera at the beginning of the trip and turning it off at the end. It takes a lot of time to find the scenes that will be part of the final video. I normally turn the camera on when a fish hits and turn it off after the fish is landed. Makes editing muuuuuuuuuch easier.

The gentleman fishing with the is Roy Cannon, Sr. His son is a TWRA officer and at the time was my next door neighbor. Roy wanted to learn how to catch Stripers and Hybrids on Tims Ford. We started at daybreak catching live shad with a Deep Hole cast net and during the day we trolled the "Spread" system (with Tadpoles), Urigs, and finally with live bait. Urigs produced the best though we caught good fish on all three techniques.

Here is the link to the video:

We had a GREAT day on on the lake!

You guys were killing it! How do you think all the rain last night will effect Tims for Saturday fishing?

Lmao....ive gotta ask:
Do you ever see other guys fishing when your out there and if so, do they compare to your catches or do they just troll by with amazed looks on thier face?
Youve got it figured out man! congrats on the success and great video!

I have witnessed the man in action, even fishing the same large school. I am content with running two rods on downrigger or adding a couple of more on planer boards max. We would catch one or two per pass, where Aero would hook four or five.

Great video! I really enjoy catching fish "pulling" more than trolling. you get a chance to really fight the fish, rather than dragging it at 2-3 mph.
But don't get me wrong I'll drag em all day long if that is what works!

Don't know about rain. Probably no effect. Not going to keep me at home.

I like both methods but there is a difference between using 8 pound line and 80 pound line!

The fact that you are using 8lb is awesome!

That is why I put it in neutral to fight a fish after hookup, better feel of the fish. Just my preference.

I look forward to trying 8# with the fluorocarbon leader. I really appreciate everything you have shared. It has all worked for me!

I usually put in at Holiday Landing. Good ramp and docks and very safe. They also have big shiners for sale at the dock in case you want to try them. Once the water temp hits 55 degrees, they will hit the shiners.

It is a long run from there to where I have been catching fish recently.
