How To Fish With A Cane Pole

Welcome back to bait

fish

ing it's hot it's going to break a record today it's going to be very hot so let's get into the shade here so yesterday I was at Walmart looking for ultra light rods to replace some that I recently broke. I didn't have any more ultralight, so I needed to get something and I couldn't really find what I was looking for, but I found a walking stick and I thought, hey, it's less than six dollars, so it's about time I made a walking stick. video I like

fish

ing with rods. I fished with several things that are like rods.

Because it's a very hot day and not really a good time to fish, I'm supposed to do it almost mid-morning. something else this morning but it was canceled at the last minute I decided to run out here and fish now before it got too hot, it's going to be really hot on the way home but not now it's just too hot now so fish with a wiggler net , TRUE? Now, and this heat will probably produce something, so coal came, well, let's get to it, yeah, let's get this bad boy off the trailer, so before I interrupt my own sentence, what I was about to say is that this

pole

it is not

cane

. just one

pole

it's a complete kit as you can see let's come here on the light it comes with a float a little bit of wine a little thing to wrap the line around a hook and I guess that split shot so this is a bamboo pole pole 10 feet is 2 pieces, obviously I haven't even taken it out of the package yet, let's do it, make sure you don't cut the line, it's a little loose there, just open it up, be careful, careful, careful, rip, here we go, they're probably a four pound probably tells me it here somewhere so I'm looking at this trying to see if it says what pound tests it comes with and it's probably like four pound it doesn't say here anywhere it does say cancer and reproductive harm so it's It's a little dangerous to fish with this I guess, so here we go, we've got it unpacked here's the tip you see, this is where you tie your line here, a little metal ring that's tied with this rope here wrapped really tight, with luck will hold up quite well. when you put them together you want to make sure they're nice and tight here's a little rig that comes with it like I said maybe this is a four pound test maybe a little less this is basically a panfish rig now let's try use your rig first before I used mine and this is maybe a size eight Aberdeen hook.

I mean, it's a fishing hook, it will work. We have red wigglers. It's a little breezy here, let's take a look. what we have in this is for st. John, maybe it's too windy to float fish right here in this spot I picked. I chose this place for the shade. There are other places we could go that are a little out of the wind, but let's try this first because I see fish right here, the water is clear enough just off the shore to hold this line. I'm going to tie a normal knot. I'm not sure how much line there is in this, we'll find out.

I said, let's get this down where you can see it, like I said, it doesn't actually say anything on the packaging. It's time to deploy this line, let's see what we have to work with. Well, the line is deployed and here we are at the end. of the rod, as you can see, we just took the end that will work, that will work unless it's a very big fish because I don't have a net, but we're going to do it or now we're going to slide it. just a little bit to give us a depth of about two and a half feet almost three this is not a split shot this is inline and it just slides we'll try we'll try we really really want to use my own stuff let's look at this it's actually tied wrong , they have this, I didn't take it apart, it looks like it's nailed, this is a straight hook and it's stuck in there, it's probably tied tight, it has a tagged end, come on.

Cut it up a little and chop it up. Here's the bait, take out one of these and let's take a piece off of it. I'm threading this on the hook shank, something like that, there's quite a bit of fish in the pan, right? We may have too much depth here, but we're just going to turn it out and angle it up when you're fishing with a rod. It's good to keep the rod up. Keep it like this. You will see. Sometimes people just stand there with the stick pulled down, the problem with this is if you get a really big fish and it runs and you go to pick it up and you don't pick it up in time if you have the stick parallel. into the water like that, even so, what can happen is that a big fish can just pull and if it doesn't break your line, that is, you can just throw out that first segment and just run across the channel with half your rod to want You want to keep it that way if the fish doesn't bite, it's too slow and you're not going anywhere.

I don't see any problem with this, but you have to be careful what you are doing because you don't do it. I want to lose half of this rod I keep getting bit I'm trying to go get some water I'm being risky here I'm just putting this rod out trying to keep an eye on it and that float goes I make a mad dash but I don't have to get the water out yet, It's hot today guys, stay hydrated, this place just doesn't work. I want to go see if we can find a more productive place, as you see, I'm finishing this.

This keeper is just here to keep everything organized so you can break the

cane

and make it easier to walk under the trees and all that. Now normally, if he had a quick pivot, he would have used it to make it a lot easier. I could just take this leader. in and out of the rod, so that's something to suggest to you, okay, new place, there's a lot more going on here, there's a lot of structure right in front of us. I usually fish for cichlids here, but there are fish here too. Got a little over two feet deep under the float here we go Wow The OOP trees gave us some bluegills here nice rod poles are a great thing for panfishing, let's see if we can get something bigger.

I see a lot of panfish here with bluegills and some bass. I don't see anything super big, but there is one that is quite big. Let's see if I can supply it without changing the depth. It's here in this shady place. Well, that's not him, but it's another fish. It's about the same size as the first one maybe a little smaller I want to find something really big because it's fun to land a big fish on the rod there's a bite look how that float moves that float will always stay on its side with that a little bit of lead, if you had more, let it go up when you get a nice solid bite that floats, it will stay up ooh, you said it, big cichlid or yes, there's a big cichlid right here hanging around my bait, oh no, it's still hanging.

I see it outside, it's a dark shadow, here it is, oh, cute, it's a good size. It took me forever to do it. That may be the case, but I'm glad I saw you. Wow, that's a good size. These are an invasive species, so by law I can't, can you see the teeth, man, you're so big, you've got teeth, little teeth, these are really ferocious feeders, yeah, because it's an invasive species in this area, I have to keep it. Fortunately, it is of considerable size. That's enough, so here we go, it's almost 11 o'clock, yes, I'm overheating, time to finish this and cool off.

I haven't finished fishing for the day. I'm just going to go cool down somewhere and then go back out and record another video for solar noon, which is about an hour and 20 minutes away, so there's plenty of time to cool down before I finish this video. I want to talk a little bit more about this rod, but here, when you remember, when you get a big fish, play with the curvature of the rod, look what we're doing here, tilt it back so the fish is close to you and you can grab it. or put it in the network.

Now I would recommend this particular bamboo rod. If you're traveling somewhere, you don't have any fishing gear, you want to do some fishing, you know, if there's a little worm under a float, you find this at Walmart for less than six dollars, you can go fishing, you got it. with the line you have everything you need line hooks weights floats hopefully it doesn't come with the extreme heat that came with this video it's hot right now it's supposed to get around 100 degrees out here and then it's very humid so yeah, I think this is a pretty good rod for its price.

I'll probably use it again later, but I'll use my own stuff. My own rig. Their rig is fine if you just want to catch a few fish. Your rigs are fine. OK. I like to share comment. subscribe let's refresh until next time
