Yea I would have to say I know you are used to catching really big cats, but for many people these are big cats, just funny to hear you say "He is not that big." And then pull up a 10-20 pounder lol.In my opinion you catch some awesome fish. I love watching man, you have great advice and you make me wish I was right there with ya enjoying the outdoors friend. Keep up the good work.
@basfishermanallyear yea you still use your trollin motor but you pull yourself along a general area, control drifting is contoling the boat on a specific area of bank, such as a legde or a drop.
i never herd of drift fishing till now, can you do this type of fishing in bigger rivers like Mississippi rive and how do you keep from getting snagged on something?
This is why I like catfishermen better than bass fishermen. This guy is cool, and he shares his info with us all without trying to sell anything. It aint about a fancy boot or lures. It's about big fish!
Anyone got any tips on how to fish the Minnesota River for cats and where I should try off of 35w,,,,Just going to try my hand at it this year for the first time... I hear there are some big ones in the Minnesota and Mississippi where they meet.. Got any tips
@akwalung I have tried catfishing on the arkansas river 5 times now. Not a nibble! I have found what i believe to be fish on my depth finder swimming around in 30 feet of water. I am fishing near a dam. I have anchored and fished and drifted. I have been using frozen shad as cut bait. could this be the problem? do i need fresh bait? I reeled the tip to the pole and everything! TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO HEAR TO CATCH SOME DAMN CATFISH AROUND HERE!!!!!!!!!!!
@fortysixgrand thats a tricky river for sure, i fished last year during a cabelas tournament and actually had better luck anchoring behind the dikes, i was fishing around pine bluff AK but right after the spawn in post spawn is prolly gonna be the best for drifting on that river, frozen shouldnt be a problem but fresh is always better. id say get away from the dams a bit and find some open water but it just depends on what part of the river your fishing.
i dont know about you but here in Oklahoma we call those supper
