Get5Bass has a new YouTube Channel!!!
Hey y'all it's Frank from Get5Bass. I took a trip back to Michigan last August to fish where I grew up in Southeast Michigan. It inspired me to start a YouTube channel! I've uploaded to videos to date Lake St. Clair Target Weight and Get5Raw - Lake Dardanelle.
The Target Weight video's feature more editing and sometimes multiple camera's. The premise for the Target Weight video's is to set a weight that I believe would get in check range and try to catch 5 that hit that weight.
The Get5Raw videos feature less editing and are generally shot from just a chesty cam. I don't set a target weight, but as always I try to put 5 in the boat.
I'll be uploading 2 videos a week for the next month or so. I've got the following in the cue:
Detroit River - Target Weight (August 2023)
Get5Raw - Petit Jean River (October 2023)
Get5Raw - Lake Ouachita (2 episodes - December 23 and January 24)
Get5Raw - Bull Shoals (December 2023)
Get5Raw - Dardanelle (February 2024)
Greers Ferry - Target Weight (April 2024)
If you like old school bass fishing, this channel might be for you!!!

Get5Bass Team Series Tournament - 04/06/25: Advisory
The weather forecast for this week does not look good. There is a very good chance we could get 6+ inches of rain over a four day period beginning Wednesday and ending Saturday. Get5Bass is looking at the following options for the Team Series Tournament scheduled for 04/06/25 (Sunday):
1.) The weather man is wrong and we receive far less rainfall than predicted. This scenario means the tournament will proceed as planned.
2.) We receive substantial rainfall and the river jumps to 150,000 cfs. This will mean heavy debris in the river channel making boating less safe. However, the backwaters are still fishable with little floating debris. In this case, we will have a trailered weigh-in. This means anglers will be able to launch at the ramp of their choice on Lake Dardanelle. More details will follow if this is the selected option.
3.) We receive substantial rainfall and the backwaters are unfishable with heavy debris. In this case, the tournament will be postponed and made up on April 13th.
I will make a final decision on Friday afternoon and post it in the PM.
Thanks - Frank
