http://discovercatfishing.com Best technique for winter time blue catfishing, Once you're anchored on a spot give it 30-35 minutes, to see if you get any takers, if you get no bites it's time to move but you don't want to go far, the idea is to keep a scent trail for the catfish to follow, so bounding down is the best method, what this means, is pull your anchor up and move your boat down and re-anchor where you last placed your baitson the previous anchor. and cast out again, keeping your bait in the same scent trail just a little further down stream. Because some of these channel bends can be up to a half mile long, you may need to bound down 4-5 times until you find the fish

  • yes any type of cut bait will work

  • love the videos, ive taken lots of your advice and have caught fish almost everytime out on the ohio! im fairly new to freshwater fishing and ive found catfishing tobe more exciting than grouper and even shark, i was wonderin if you could possibly explain some good river fishing rigs though. thanks so much for the awesome videos! :)

  • @DefenderJP55 i have plans on some informative how to s real soon, please check back

  • When you winter fish do you winterize your boat very often? or every time you go out, This is my first year to try winter cats.... I love fishin for Big Cats and wanted to learn more tech, tried drift fishing and it was great... let me know.

  • @waysidemike mike i fish pretty much through the winter, as far as my boat, i dont winterize it as im always in it in the winter, i just maintain it throughout the year as needed. good luck and stay tuned new how to vids coming soon

  • Thanks for the video, took some great ideas away from it! Caught a 45 pound blue cat last night!

  • @rossmannel awesome man! trophy blue for sure.
