TACTICS FOR SUCCESS ON SHALLOW WATER BASS n WALLEYE WITH A BONUS HOOK IN THE FINGERS
Had a great day of fishing for bass and walleye on Lake Erie. Baitfish lures were what the fish wanted on this day. Had an unfortunate incident with a treble hook and two of my fingers that presented quite a challenge. A pair of needlenose pliers and a couple of bandaids kept me fishing and out of an ER. An interesting day to say the least

Finding Shipwrecks with Your Electronics
When to use side imaging or side scan on big water. This episode of R & J Bass Fishing on Rumble we discuss using side scan and some of the things you can find along the bottom of a lake. I was on a recent fishing trip to Lake Erie where I committed a good part of the day to scanning the bottom and was lucky enough to stumble across a couple old broken up boats along the bottom. I had my ice fishing underwater camera to drop down and see what they looked like. It's amazing the amount of fish that these types of structures hold. You will see a variety of fish that use it for cover and habitat. If you are interested in the electronics or one of the underwater cameras there are some links below.

Crystal Onyx Cave
This video was from a visit back in 2019 just after the cave had opened back up. I was able to locate some old videos on a removable hard drive. We used to have on these videos on YouTube before deleting them.
I thought those on Rumble might enjoy them. "Cleon Turner found the cave in 1960, Ray Gossett financed the development and for five years they created trails, stairs and bridges. It opened for tours in 1965 and was owned or operated by Ray Gossett, Wesley Odle, Ed Hay and Ed’s widow Karen. In 2009 it was sold to Cumberland Cellular, which has the towers atop of the Knob, and they closed the cave.
Scott and Sara Sendtko had toured CRYSTAL ONYX Cave many times and in 2010 they returned for another visit. They were disappointed to see that it was closed. Because of the nature of their business, they had been thinking of moving to Kentucky. They had the good fortune to track down the owners and buy the cave.
It took four years to sell their place in Michigan and get established in Cave City. Then in 2014 they started working on rebuilding the cave. In 2015 they bought the campground and surrounding property. Over the years Scott has replaced the stairs, bridges and railings, lowered and re-gravelled the trails and installed all new LED lighting. He has also opened up new areas of the cave. It reopened on May 25, 2018 after being closed for nine years.
They have a great love of the cave and Scott feels it is his calling to rehabilitate the cave and share its beauty with his guests. "
Great information on their website. https://crystalonyxcaveky.com/about/

STROLLER RIGGING SUCCESS
Had a day this spring where I didn't matter what we threw, it wasn't working. Had a stroller rig set up and gave it a try and what a surprise. Whether it was from the fish not seeing it before or the planets in perfect alignment the fish loved it and I've since expanded these stroller baits to my fishing toolbox. Take a look.

Stumbled Across Seeing Bass with a Drone While Taking a Photo
Locating bass with a drone may not be a new concept, but when you see it for the first time it can be a cool experience. My wife and I were walking along a secluded beach along the shores of Lake Michigan. It was an anniversary week for us and something we enjoy doing. I took the drone along for a downward angle photo of the two of us on the beach with nobody around. While getting the drone positioned, I noticed in the shallow water not far off in the water giant smallmouth swimming around. I took note of it and we came back a couple days later. I had my fishing rod with me this time. I wanted to see if I could reach them from shore. I did some research on the area and noticed there wasn’t a boat ramp within 20 miles of the area. It wasn’t somewhere I was going to be able to get to by boat in a short amount of time. Check out the footage in this video if you would like to see what the smallmouth look like from an above view.

SPRINGTIME LARGEMOUTH, P.B. 7lbs 4oz
Fished an inland Ohio lake this spring. Water was slightly stained with temps in the mid 50s, fish we're moving up. Among the other fish that I caught was my personal best largie. A black and blue chatterbait was the lure that did the most damage although fish were also caught on creature and spinnerbaits. Thanks for coming by and I hope you enjoy this fishing action

FEED THEM BAITS THAT TRIGGER STRIKES
