Shadowing Practice: Specks Move to Flats for Fall Feast! - Learn English Speaking with Video

I'm going to put it in the oven.

all right i'm out here with one of my two favorite

fishermen my son joel this is his new boat this is

the first time he's taken into the marsh he's fished a few bass tournaments in it

but this is the maiden marsh voyage

and we've got a beautiful fall morning here it's really really

nice the air is crisp we got a massive where is it full moon look at

that full moon right there but we're going to try

and catch some speckled trout today we're starting on the edge

of a lake a big flat near some deep water we

can see what we can do here we don't do much we're going to push into the marsh

and see what we can find there

but we got to fall on tide i'm hoping that's pulling some shrimp out of those backwater marshes

and we're going to catch some speckled trout that's the hope

that's the plan we'll find out in just a moment come along with us

and let's see all right i'm starting this morning with a

versamax pro max cork this really delivered for me my last strip i've got

that about two feet over a tko shrimp in shrimp creole color fishing

that on an akuma tournament concept i think this rod is seven feet yeah tide's moving pretty good dude

dude this water looks great i can see your prop already

we can't find fish today we got to give up find

a different hobby as you can tell the sun hasn't come up yet we're nice

and early ran mostly in the dark lots of bait on

this flat mostly mullet haven't seen any shrimp yet there we

go listing all right first bite of the morning could have

been a little trout it's a good takedown yeah your leaders deep well there's an easy way to fix that

yep that's how deep i'm fishing you're at least a foot longer than me sunrise look at that beautiful

this falling tide may not be on this flat they may have to go closer to the channel

oh there we go oh

that feels decent it might be it might be a I think it's a digger Joel

if it's a trout it's a good one I think it's a cat yeah Rachel is gonna seen

that first catfish on the new boat it's exciting

and it's not even a gaffed off it's a hard head

oh that's a trout there you go Joel there you that's

a keeper trout too let me get out your way with

my little catfish that's a good trout all right first keeper

of the day there we go first speckled trout on the

new boat come on be a keeper be a keeper he hasn't come up at all Joel might be a

That might be, that might be Good trout Alright,

there we go There we go He doesn't need to be measured,

he's definitely 13 Alright Joel,

let's keep it going All the bait I see is bait fit I don't see any shrimp

you got Joel oh that's a good trial Joel yeah that's a good one that's a good one

let's see

if he's got any buddies with him these fish are real

scattered on this flat they're not real grouped up you wouldn't expect them to be yet water temp is 86

oh got one i hope that's a trout i think it is i think it is y 'all

yeah that's a good trout i think it is

i don't know what it is oh it's a red it's a good keeper red yeah you got a net

you don't have a net no oh i got a million nets i'll give you one when we get home

yeah it's a good red

this is joel's dinner for the week we're gonna lose him you got him oh i don't trust you with

that all right we got him that's a perfect eating size red yep you're right about

that man redfish have been tough to come by here

and a lot of these marshes i haven't caught many of them at all the last few months

but this dude is basically about the perfect eating size definitely want to take him home

and feast upon him let's see today you got your first cat your first speckled trout

and your first redfish on the new boat long enough with no sunglasses

of course every bite is right into that sun yeah

that's a good trout man that's a real good trout he's going crazy

yeah that's the trout of the day right there now we seem to be catching more

toward that shoreline you know what i'm saying yeah like you've been casting back this way

which is a little surprising to me because it's it's pretty shallow over there

but that's where they are can't argue with it till i

think you might need to bring damn bring us toward

that shoreline oh you got one never mind never mind uh

-oh he's digging uh -oh i don't like how

this is feeling that's what she said

i didn't see it it's a cat yeah is it a hardhead

or yep hardhead man fall is so much better than summer yeah for so many reasons

we're not even to the good part no not to the good part yet

you're right but still i take this over any summer day

and i'm talking purely about the fishing not about the weather the weather goes without saying

get him there you go glad you got a hooking one yeah baby he didn't come up joel

he hadn't come up all right i'll take your word for

it oh it's a nice trout you're right you called it you called it right so

while the sun's low in the horizon we've discovered these fish

are definitely closer to the shoreline not a ton of water there maybe a couple feet

as that sun gets higher they'll probably pull out to a little bit deeper water

and we're just drifting this flat adjacent to some deep water up here

and picking up a fish here and a fish there it's not definitely not hot

and heavy these fish are scattered for sure

but that's always the case this time of year you seldom

find them schooled up basically they're all on this flat for

the same reason they're on here to eat the bait that's coming out of this deep water

but they're not really grouped up they're not schooled they're just

randomly scattered throughout this flat all for the same reason good

thing is the fish are generally keepers we've caught one throwback

and that's you know kind of what you got to find like

100

if you find a body of fish that's all throwbacks you can waste a whole lot of time

101

and since these fish are scattered you definitely don't want to

102

kind of like just pull up to a spot drop the anchor sit there

103

and try and catch them that does work occasionally

104

but less often this time of year than it will later

105

in the fall you just want to drift these flats

106

and throw these versamax pro max corks with your favorite shrimp imitating bait that marker 54 is a really good one

107

right now i'm throwing joel and i both are throwing this shrimp creole tkl

108

matrix shad makes a matrix shrimp that's really good as well chad champagne catches a ton of fish on

109

that he's been catching them lately a lot of fish on

110

that bait is it weird fishing off the back yeah yeah

111

yeah it's weird yep it's nice i mean it's nice not having to worry about all the things

112

that you're having to worry about

113

yeah i'm just fishing

114

he's like oh there we go oh he came off yeah

115

i know dude oh you got him again he came back

116

that's crazy i had a fish on he came off

117

and he came back

118

or his buddy came back it's definitely trout

119

oh yeah got him Joel

120

missed him you got him Joel switch to a mojo shrimp well mine's definitely keeper we'll see about yours

121

oh he came off this dude had a deep i gotta measure this one but i'm pretty sure he's 13.

122

oh yeah he's uh 13 and a half you want to bail on this got one already what's it feel like joel

123

uh i don't want to say it i don't think it's a cat it's a trout

124

it's a nice trout

125

or is it a little red it's a little red that's what it is yep there you go

126

that's next year's crop it's good to see

127

these marshes have been full of redfish that size so glad to see it makes me happy to catch those

128

Joel and I as you can tell and push into the marsh

129

that flat kind of dried up as

130

that sun got up the bite on those flats will last longer as

131

that water gets cooler

132

but we're gonna see we can do in this marsh water

133

actually looks pretty good joel's sticking with the cork i'm throwing

134

a quarter ounce death grip jig head with a green hornet

135

matrix shad we got this good hard falling tide hopefully we're

136

gonna run across some shrimp pulling out of these bayous pulling

137

out of the marshes via the bayous what you got speckled trout there we go all right on the cork

138

in the marsh all right joel

139

and i are making our last stop of the day popping

140

corks in a bayou that's got like you know three feet of depth in these straightaways

141

and like maybe five feet of depth in the in the

142

bends hoping we run across some speckle trout water doesn't look

143

as good in here as it did not our last stop our last stop had a lot more deep water

144

and just not a ton of fish yes

145

well it's not horrible at

146

all oh there he

147

is fish on baby i hope he's a keeper let's see

148

it's definitely a trout oh yeah it's a keeper oh yeah i'm pretty sure he's a keeper jewel don't be

149

so pessimistic i think he's 13.

150

i don't know what do you think might be 13.

151

hooked well all right he makes it so these bayous are a great fallback

152

if the lakes get too rough and it's really really gotten windy today

153

or if that bite just slows down on those flats

154

because of warm temperatures these bodies generally have deeper water than

155

the flats a little bit cooler temperatures the fish can retreat to that deeper water and come up to feed

156

so that's why we're fishing this this time of day oh

157

he's ripping drag it's a drag ripper what we got joel

158

oh man feeling trouty oh yeah oh that's a good trout

159

joel that's a real good trout nice trout man oh yeah

160

come on all right good fish there we go there you go one for the box

161

162

163

166

but the one he sang with that duet with that girl um the same guy same guy whoever he is

167

he's off the Bud Light label just might run the pool table

168

i get that far all right that's it

169

the song he sang with that girl is it's a breakup song she broke up with him

170

even though like she committed to being his forever and he's like devastated which you would be

171

because this girl is hot whatever her name is damn it

180

181

182

hope you're happy now yep that's it all right you know

183

that song no i think i heard it get him joel

184

keeper keeper i'm hoping so oh yeah definitely keeper good trout good trout

185

let me see you see that thing yeah that's a good fish good keeper

186

keeper huh oh yeah it's a keeper i just got to get him in the boat

187

no it's a red red fish sorry little dude but i'm glad to see you all right here we go

188

oh joel what you got that's got to be a red

189

that's a trout i don't think it's a trout i it's

190

a red it's a good trout i think it's a small red let's see let's see i'm thinking

191

hoping it is oh dude a little red dude i'm

192

so glad to see these fish

193

so last year i caught none of these little reds none and this year has been just abysmal red fishing

194

so it's great to see these fish that are undersized like 12 to 16 inches

195

been catching them on every trip lately not even really fishing for them they're just kind of everywhere

196

and for the most part those fish will not be keepers until like next spring

197

or so then they'll be 18 to 22 inches but it should be a great spring for redfish action

198

time for Todd's Tackle Talk all right fall is by far

199

my favorite season to fish the marshes here in south Louisiana

200

and we're kind of entering the heart of

201

that really really good fishing the reason it's so good is

202

because all the white shrimp

203

that have spent the summer growing up in the marshes are being dumped out

204

and speckled trout are moving in every day to absolutely destroy

205

those white shrimp it just makes the fish very predictable they're

206

constantly feeding they're getting fat trying to get ready for the winter

207

and you can every single day use

208

that to your advantage this is the time of year i mostly fish shrimp imitations like this tko shrimp

209

that i fished on this trip now years ago i got this tko shrimp in a pool

210

and it looks really really terrible it's got zero action it doesn't move much at all

211

but what it has is the absolute perfect fall rate it falls just like a shrimp you know you pop

212

that cork it jerks up and it falls like of shrimp and those fish just cannot resist it.

213

To them, it looks like the real thing.

214

Now, there are other shrimp invitations that are also very, very good.

215

I mentioned in the video the matrix shrimp.

216

I have not fished that bait yet.

217

Actually, I've got some ordered and on the way and I'm looking forward to putting them to use.

218

Another very, very popular and productive one is that marker 54 shrimp.

219

People absolutely swear by that and love it.

220

To me, the look of the shrimp is far less important than that fall rate.

221

If I'm fishing a soft plastic paddle tail this time of year, i'm going to team

222

that with a 16 ounce death grip jig head i'm talking about fishing under a cork

223

if i'm obviously fishing jigs on the bottom completely different scenario.

224

But if I'm fishing under a cork, 16 ,000 death grip jig head, because that most imitates a shrimp on the way down.

225

It's got that perfect fall rate.

226

I'll link to that pool test video, or you can just go look at the pool test section of the Marshman Masson channel.

227

You can definitely find it yourself.

228

Now, one personal note, this trip was absolutely a thrill for me.

229

It was truly one of the best days of my life, fishing for the first time with my son on his boat.

230

If you've watched this channel a long time, you know that Joel and I have fished together for years.

231

You know, he's grown up, graduated college, got a real job.

232

He doesn't fish nearly as much as he used to, but he bought a boat a couple of months ago, and it's just kind of like the passing of the torch type thing.

233

He handled himself very, very well.

234

He's an absolutely outstanding fisherman, and it was just such a great day.

235

I cannot wait to repeat it.

236

Thanks for coming along with us.

237

Hopefully, you enjoyed it, well, half as much as we did.

238

All right, if you did, please give the video a thumbs up.

239

Also, subscribe to the Marshmab Maslin channel on YouTube, and until next time, if we don't see you in the marsh, we'll see you right here on Marshmab masks on.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
