BEEN DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM FOR WEEKS!! It literally has almost caused us to crash our boat multiple times and almost get thrown from the boat once as well, when the motor decides to “unspot lock itself” and go full speed to the left out of nowhere while you are fishing or minding your own business and no where near the trolling motor peddle. Thankfully we finally got it resolved after trying to adjust the shaft multiple times before.

He's okay. He's... He's..
0:03
Another one in the books. See ya. What's up y'all
0:14
Welcome back to the vlog. Devin and I are out here pulling the hot tamale man, the Red Ranger
0:18
We are ready to go hit the water. We're gonna travel to a lake about two hours away
0:22
And so first things first, we're stopping at Chipotle, man. We gotta get a little burrito bowl to go
0:26
And I wanna thank you guys so much for 25,000 subscribers, huge
0:29
milestone and we cannot wait to hit 50k 100k all the big ones in front of us but
0:35
just a quick thank you to you guys so much as we about to take out the beauty the hot tamale
0:39
once more for a good day of fishing before we get on the road let's get a bite to
0:43
huh we've about to eat like kings and queens man we got large chip and two burrito
0:48
bowls to go trying the new caseo blanca we're gonna see what the stuff's all about
0:53
and a couple what we get the izzie yeah what flavor we're on your Clementine grapefruit
1:00
I got no choice in the matter y'all. It's all right. We're going for some big fish tonight
1:05
I'll be okay with whatever flavor. First cast, I'm got the jade around it
1:33
Be my lady, cause you're gonna round it. First cast, getting after it
1:39
She's going Texas rig, I'm got the chatter bait tied on, black and blue
1:43
She's doing natural, mixing things up, getting this nice little pointing at things
1:48
I'm going to lift this up halfway and see about raising it
2:00
Yeah, you got it. Yep
2:13
Just gotta have it at the right spot, I guess. Halfway. But this is what's gonna be a problem
2:18
You might help me with this? It's gotta be lined up perfect to start tightening it again. Here
2:23
Got it? No. There. Oh, wow. Hopefully it's low enough. Alright now our trolling motor is raised up now it should work effortlessly
2:34
Probably should I went a little further out when I did that I think a Mondo worm is probably a good bet you know summertime
2:39
Natural I think there's one in here Yeah guys so you had seen us run into issues with the spot lock in the past and we were pretty sure it was because of the shaft of this whole deal
2:47
The whole beam that vertical beam was getting too low and kind of putting pressure on these wires
2:52
Guys just to expand on this very quickly because it could have actually cost us a
2:56
3,500 dollar trolling motor if these wires got crimped to the point that the whole thing needed to be replaced. Garmin does not
3:03
warranty this stuff. They talked to the dealers about not specifically using like zip
3:07
ties to tie the cords down to like the shaft if you're using their Garmin
3:10
transducers for LiveScope for instance because of the fact these wires are so sensitive you could actually break them and they do not cover that even for the dealers
3:18
that install them. So what they've done on the shaft of our trolling motor is they've actually used electrical tape. So you'll see around the shaft of our trolling motor
3:25
down to our transducer electrical tape. So what was happening was the shaft of our
3:29
trolling motor was installed at a set height right and it slowly started lowering and our spot
3:33
lock started after a couple weeks after it got lowered would all the sudden turn off and the thing
3:37
would just dart to the left at full speed dangerous scenarios man literally happened to us at fork when
3:41
we were underneath the bridge and there's cement columns going down 40 feet and we almost ran into one
3:45
it's not a problem you want to have and a lot of people are picking up these garment trolling motors so I want
3:49
you guys to just be aware of this we're going to get right back to fishing but yes those wires were getting
3:53
pinched too much and you want to raise up that shaft and you got like bang that thing up bang that thing up bang that thing up
3:59
to get it to budge and I'm not showing you guys the table because it's laundry day and everything's dirty
4:04
let get back to fishing oh I have a fish it didn feel like a fish it didn feel like a fish that for sure No head shakes at first
4:33
I'm like I'm in grass. That's some weight. My goodness, we're going back and forth about, should we tie in a jerk bait? We're seeing all these little fish just gets smashed out here and
4:40
And we haven't tied on a jerk bait yet. Okay, that's not how you do it first fish of the day, guys. How are y'all doing
4:51
All right, they're playing hardball, ladies and gents. First fish in the night. Look at that solid chunkerousky
4:57
That is why we drove two hours, y'all. Let's see if we can't double, triple, quadruple, or even five times the size of this thing
5:03
With the next one. I know you want to run. Guys, we just made the move over to this side, actually
5:10
We heard all these fish bursting on this side, and then we said, okay, we see this guy
5:14
that's been here for so long, a little further down. Let's just go ahead and check out the reed line
5:18
a little bit further up because we were in the shade, of course. Well, turns out that was the right move. the fish are everywhere busting and we are gonna try and get to catch and I think
5:25
Devon might tie on a jerk bait or maybe just another crank we're gonna see if we can't start spanking them look they're everywhere and box with the baby bullshads
5:32
I think I would get one of the small ones because I assume any bass will eat one
5:35
of the small ones oh oh two casts in a row two casts in a row okay all right
5:49
second cast in a row Alright, so crankbait's okay, I'm sure a drink bait is just the same
5:54
Devon better get to sign them on. Size isn't our specialty on this channel, but, you know, we can provide entertainment if you're looking to see how long it takes to get
6:01
triple hooks out of the bass's mouth. Yeah, that little guy's probably perfect. We'll see you again soon
6:07
Look at that lily release. Yeah. Well, it's a good thing we stocked up on the Guggan Squad pliers, man
6:11
We got some on the front and the back of the deck. Check us out, man. We are 30% off
6:16
You guys can go ahead and save 30% on your bait's tackle and supplies like us at Carl's bait and tackle
6:21
Link is in the description. He probably knew that already, but I'm just gonna point it out. Let's go three for three
6:26
Oh my gosh see this this is madness Absolute madness. Okay, we missed three for three but we're gonna get number three here in just a second not the lily pad though not the lily pad
6:36
Those stems are ridiculous with these trouble hooks This is gonna be sick. Oh my god, there's a feeding frenzy. Oh, it's a big old bath. Oh
6:45
He did hit the breach the surface. He did just breach the surface. That was so cool. Look right here you guys. There's a bat. I
6:51
Just chasing fish, he's gonna eat it. He's gonna bite it. No, like hard pops. No, no real hit
6:55
No, you need to go the other way. Yep, you gotta go that way. See, I don't know
7:00
Okay. Yeah, pop hard against the slack. Yep. Boom, boom, boom. Yep. Yeah, yeah
7:04
Now stop. You have it more time to rest. You go check me out. Like this
7:10
Really give it that slack. Yeah. Oh, oh. Like this. Really give it that slack
7:17
Okay. Yeah. You make it pretty good. Oh, oh, oh, I'm on
7:26
I'm on. That was cool. That was cool. That's how you do it
7:31
It's cool. All right. Look at that little baby. On the jerk bait in two seconds
7:36
Ha ha. I don't even know. That was like second cast. Wesons reteached me how to fish a jerk bait and like as soon as the thing hits the water, this little dude, dink, of course, obviously for the channel, you know
7:47
Uh, comes up and totally slams in. I'm like, oh, it's a fish
7:51
Oh my god. So I don't know. All right here, bye. See you. Whoa! Was that on you
7:56
No, that was... Go over there. Okay. What is going on over here
8:00
Okay, you probably want to come up here and cast this way along those really pads. Oh, there we go
8:09
Oh, nice. Come here. Come here. There we go. Come here, bum
8:14
You'll think. Ow! All right, guys, second one on the MTV. little shad looking jerk bait. Little dink again. Let's get him back
8:27
Save your clip. I'm casting over here with you. I'll stay a little further out
8:35
Oh, too. Okay. Oh, this one might actually be like two pounds. Oh, maybe not
8:40
Dang, I thought I had a, I thought I had a hog the way he hit that. Oh, okay. It is the biggest one in the night, though
8:46
Oh wow Oh wow He actually got a little bit of length right That not that bad Crank and spanking Got them Oh there we go Oh that was I sure do
9:00
I sure do. I doubled up. Double up. We'd be doubled up
9:05
Check it out. First double up of the night. That's what we're talking about. Crank and jerk bait
9:09
Me and you on the boat? I don't know if we have gotten a double up on the boat. This is my best one of the night so far
9:15
That's the best one of the night for you? Oh, that's pretty sad. This is only my first fish
9:19
That's pretty sad. We gotta keep cranking. Oh, look out there
9:32
Oh godgum! Okay, what are we working with here? He's okay. Oh, Jesus, that's a real
9:52
Yeah. Another one in the books. See ya. Oh, my gosh
10:06
I think I got them. I think I got something. Maybe. Is he on
10:11
He's on. I got a little something. They're feeding out here. When you wonder if you have to fish
10:18
You probably know it's not that big. Oh, self-release. I almost got trouble in the back, head, knees and shoulders
10:24
Shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes. Well, at least we know where to cast
10:28
They show you where to cast tonight, guys. That's good because we really don't know what we're doing when it comes to fishing. So go ahead and subscribe now
10:33
Gosh, dang it. Oh, as soon as they hit the water. As soon as the creek they hit the water
10:46
All right, so I just actually up the side. of my jerk bait. This is going to be the Guggan Squad Scout. Holy moly. That's funny. So it's
10:54
basically a top water crankbait bite. Anyway, I switched over to this a little bit of a bigger
10:58
jerk bait is because the other one was just a little too small and this rod and reel
11:02
setup is just a little too stiff. This line on it is a little too heavy and I was just
11:08
getting kind of backlash after backlash just because it was such a small crankbait
11:11
We had the tension cranked up. We had the brakes on max. It would just still wasn't doing it for me. I was getting
11:17
irritated and whenever you get backlash after backlash you just kind of like want to just get really mad now I'm working with three treble hooks so watch out fish I'm coming for you
11:27
she's raking them up yollie I was wondering Devin wasn't recording for that we'll use my footage she just got that like second cast on the scout um let's see how these three trouble hooks don't work I'm
11:47
actually really freaking nervous right now. Awesome. Almost kind of like a ghost yellow color. Doing work
11:53
Like second cast. Let's get them. Time check for you guys. You can see the sun above the
12:01
tree line still. It's 805. Sunset is at 837 it says so we probably have literally like an
12:07
hour left to fish. I'm feeling good about getting these videos up like closer to 6.30 p.m. now because
12:11
I've already got today's video up. What I had been doing is almost like filming a vlog like this and then trying to get it up by
12:17
midnight and that's not really the way to go. So I'm gonna try and get you guys these vlogs at a
12:23
reasonable time from here on out. I might have already said that in this or the last video, but I'm gonna shoot for 630 every day. I don't know if it's gonna happen, but so for instance
12:31
tonight I won't have to worry about getting this one up this evening. I can edit it and actually try and just schedule it for tomorrow at 630. You can do that on YouTube. You can schedule
12:38
when your video goes live. So I'll schedule it for 630 and then I don't even have to worry about it
12:43
I can literally be out here fishing or out somewhere fishing and the video will go live at that
12:47
time now Devon's on and that's exactly what we did today I scheduled the video
12:52
and it went live as we were out here so oh she's oh you got some serious grass right
12:56
there that's a grass fish if I ever seen it what do I have I got grass too check me
13:00
out there's a lot of bass around here I wonder if they'll hit the Mondo worm now we kind of keyed in on the location where we know there's some numbers
13:07
maybe I get a big on something a little different I would throw that plopper for a minute switch things up we'll both try something different
13:13
Devin may throw this wopper plopper here for a second we switch it up since we haven been getting as many bites on the moving recognize baits that plopper would really draw them the surface whereas what I throwing is going to get the guys hanging out down on the bottom and we see if we can connect on some different baits for you guys
13:32
First one on the morn on the water warm. All right. Oh golly, second time tonight. We wouldn't
13:41
believe it, but I am the master of not getting these things in the boat. That's okay. That
13:45
was a little one no wonder he didn't get a good hold of the hook see what happens on these Mondo worms y'all is they have to consume a lot of this worm just to get to the hook point and there's a
13:56
little bit of wiggle room for those little guys to get away from me pretty good those big ones will probably gobble it up you have no problem setting the hook on those things and keeping them penned but
14:03
I'm even using braid right now wearing some thick stuff I'm just going straight braid having done that on a
14:08
Texas rig in a while but there's a big risk of uh breaking off and all this junk right here
14:14
if you catch a real big one and them getting you tied up in this stuff, you really would like some heavier lines
14:18
So that's why I'm choosing straight braid. And I was just letting that one chill down there
14:23
But I was for sure that was a bite. He was swimming with it. See if we can't do that again
14:27
Yeah, they're not quite going crazy for the plopper, huh? I am curious if they'd hit a frog just because you can get it to cause disturbance
14:33
in some of these shallower areas. I have a white frog because they've been hitting white colors
14:37
The white frog is in the front little pocket of the backpack. Yeah, that's really good. I wanted to use that
14:42
That's that Weston Swin bait we just got in the MTV. That would probably slay. You could even throw that in here. That might be a really good bait to throw right now
14:50
We're gonna see if the frog will work. I definitely hear the frog start to chirp now. Throw this CPAR 9 around a little bit. That's something good. There's bass
15:01
I'm gonna throw what's gonna get them. Go deep or something. Oh! Got one
15:10
There we go. Yeah, I figured once we started to see him jump again, we just need to Throw what they're gonna eat for sure. But we know they're gonna go after him. Alright, little buddy
15:17
I don't know if you're suitable for the live well Speaking of where is one that's suitable for the live well
15:24
Oh yep there we go yep I was just about to uh I don't know what I was about to do but I was just about to do something here we go
15:32
Oh well oh he just got some fight. I was like don't mess with me now how big are you
15:38
They are back on the crank bite ladies and gents. That's probably fish number
15:42
How many do you think? Are we in the teens or not yet
15:46
There we go. Get you some of that. Solid little bass, solid little junker
15:51
We will see you later, bud. Oh, you know what? I need that Allen wrench
15:56
This thing loosens up a lot. This is cool, y'all. I'm logged onto my devices here
16:02
I'm going to check out the 102SV. What if I hit chart
16:06
Oh, no way. Okay, but what I want to do is see the screen. Download charts
16:10
No. Chart settings? User data. Cancel. How do I get to perspective mode? Well, we made a move. You all we saw some fish jumping over here and I figured
16:18
I wanted to give you all a change of scenery, but we haven't got too many bites and light is fading to where the gopros won't be able to last much longer. So
16:26
we're making some of the final cast of the evening, I presume, and then we're gonna go put this thing back on the trailer and get back to the house. If we don't catch anything else
16:36
we will see you back at the crib. It's on. Back at the house, man. Thank you guys. Thank you
16:42
so much for joining Devin and I on another awesome episode on the hot tamalee catching a bunch
16:47
of fish for you guys and having a lot of fun filming a little bit of a different style of editing again we're trying out some new things I hope you guys dig it we got zeke chilling we got
16:54
max up here marshmallow we got mylo and otis all in the corner everyone is in the living space
17:00
and I probably should get this laundry done before she gets home and then also maybe cook up a little
17:05
dinner for her it would be nice she's back at work behind the bar at bob steak and chop house
17:09
and I am still furloughed and it sounds like Texas is now kind of pause
17:12
their openings of restaurants and stuff, so I might not go back to Valet for a little bit longer
17:17
It's all undetermined, man, but we're having a lot of fun filming these videos for you guys
17:21
and I'm gonna keep cranking them out as long as I can, one a day. I'm gonna schedule this one for a 6.30 p.m. upload
17:26
It's now 4.10 in the afternoon, and I'm about to get out and film tomorrow's video for you guys
17:31
Wish me luck on my excursion, and we're gonna try and get these things up continuously for you guys
17:35
as long as we can. See you tomorrow
