 Welcome back fishing freaks to a beautiful autumn day out here We've got a lot of work to do today and one of the things we need to accomplish is going out there and getting some gooey gooey catfish or some sort of fish out on the water. I just can't resist taking the new boat out woke up to the Sound of gunfire shotguns firing in the distance. It is the opening day of duck season So I'm sure there's gonna be a lot of John boats running around out there today Since it is fall and there are critters running around. I'm just gonna check the trail cam real quick We got the crows, more crows, doves, possum Mr. Fox, foxes and possums. Over on this cam, Mr. Fox, a lot of foxes, a lot of possums I usually see the foxes literally just with my eyes during the day and in the evenings I got a lock-up to chicken coop. That's my next project I got going. Quick little segment on how I got the boat Rigged out today. By the way, while I'm filming this I still haven't posted the first video where I got the boat So I don't know its name yet that you guys named. This is how we got everything set up today. I have my jugs So I basically just put all these in a bucket. I've got my weights in there. I call these jugs They're really not jugs, but you get the idea. These are multiple line jugs and some of them have counterweight systems in there So they'll tip up. Actually, it's pretty nice. I've also got a milk crate Set up a milk crate in here. It's perfect just for putting tackle trays. I've got some various Tackling here. I'm only gonna carry one rod out with me today Don't have much room and don't want to get it too complicated in here We have our bait. We have our cast net all of that stuff And we're gonna have fresh shad and bluegill that we caught yesterday Ready to catch some delicious kitty cats. Hopefully so while I'm waiting on the jug lines I'm gonna be also be doing some other fishing Today is just a perfect example of why I got this boat because there's there's so many trips I want to go on in my bass boat where I'm like, man, I just don't want to mess up my boat You know nasty shad catfish cue. It's literally duck season right now We'll probably hear some shotguns going off as we go along and you know, I could go scouting For duck hunting spots or go go scouting for small game play. I can scout for hogs All can be done in this little guy taking it up in the dirt So what I'm gonna start out doing is cut up some fresh bait and throw it along this creek channel here Since it's getting colder. I think the catfish are gonna stay a little closer to the creek channel I mean pretty much all species for that matter I'm gonna place them in different areas of the creek like one's gonna be at the mouth One will be kind of midway one will be back and then I'll just throw a couple of randos in there By the way, if y'all want to do this make sure to put the current date on there So you got to put your contact information and the date that you're doing it Parks and Wildlife doesn't want you setting out jugs that are gonna be there for days days days So you get a ticket if you don't have the proper date on your jugs What I do is just carry some extra duct tape in my bucket and then I write the date on a little piece of duct tape Just cut it off and covered up over the old date So that way I don't have to keep scratching out with like a sharpie or something on the on the float itself You just rip off the other tape it comes off fairly easily and then just put you a fresh piece of tape on there That has the new date as I'm gonna start out with some shad the shad is a Well, I won't say fresh caught but literally caught it just hours ago probably like 12 hours ago I'm gonna cut up a couple of these pieces. Just cut them in half Right here on the deck This is exactly what I don't want to be doing in my in my past boat get it all disgusting I think I'm gonna drop two different ones here. I'm gonna drop a shad one. So I'm gonna have three I Got three hooks on here So so we'll kind of spread out through the water column the first one will be at like four feet second one's gonna be about 12 The next one will be a little higher in the water column. I'm gonna attach a weight to this So I made my own weights You guys can make these at home really easy to just take some Dixie cups and Put some quicksum in there with a little wire on top and it's a lot cheaper than then putting some blood on there weight clips on with the little fast Fast clip you can get all this stuff at any sporting goods store. This is I think this is like 40 pound liter on here I just put a little Little circle hook on here Slakes not known for having a lot of blue catfish but Blue catfish love this stuff So let that down kind of slowly I'm sure nothing's gonna get tangled. It's gonna cruise on down the way here first ones out Like this next one. We're gonna do a bluegill Next step we got our blue geese Let's give it a chunk out of here. I Get the correct depth by pulling up on the line like that's tight right there And then I'll wrap the excess around the bottom there and just tie a half inch A half inch right there at that T and that'll keep it fairly tight and then the weight system See that's down And that'll float like that when it's down. It's reset it You just hang it hang it like that and then it rolls and it's ready to go Go with a little bluegill tail Look at that pure white meat of that bluegill man. Sure our lines aren't tangled here and then we'll Let it go. Well, this is all this is all new challenge doing the stick steer and doing this all at the same time Okay, then we'll do our half itch Down here half itch just like that make sure our weight Slides down and that one's good to go Baby, so we got three set that's as far as I'm gonna go back in this creek There's one other guy way back there. I think he's set some lines as well But I've got one close to the back. I've got one middle I've got actually I've got two around the middle and then right now I'm gonna go out to the main point area and set some like one at the base at the mouth and then Just you know, just a couple out on the the main river channel out on the big points and see if we can Big leaves and I've got one rod one reel with me not the one you're thinking of but literally just a spinning rod We're going to our different spots, right? efficient aiming so I've got a mini recon on right now, so it dives Six to eight feet approximately. I've got eight contest on here right now. I'm gonna sit bottom So I'm just gonna go along this bank see if I can pick up anything white bass crappie any sort of Bass species. Oh Just got one. I got one. I got one. She ass feels like it's trying to come up right now We got we got something for the cooler Got something for the old cooler Well, it's pretty good This might be a large. No, it's a big white bass. Oh my gosh. It's a Magnum freaking Magnum, baby. Oh Yes Yes, sir. What about this? I Have no depth finder on here, so I really I have no idea What is going on? Just using my senses Out here in my Jumbo now catch a fish all around That fish in my pass a bit hard now get a little cocky do little Jumbo jangles How about it now first fish lead In this boat. Oh I think it's really funny. That's a white bass We are about to lose you guys in the water. Wow Definitely not like my bass, but another popular technique that people will do too is they will Just drift they'll drift shad lines. I'd like to figure out how to catch some really big blue catfish I'd like to hear from you guys in the comments if you know some techniques that have worked for you Okay bonds away Let's give her a proper rip. Shall we in order to remedy this situation where you need to Switch tanks here. Yep. That one's empty. I've never switched tanks on this boat, so I hope this works Okay Got that on there Fill the lines with a little pump and let's see if we can get this thing started where we got baby. Oh Wow, this has a little weight to it. Oh, we got another white bass. Yes, sir Mega fatties. Oh, there's another one. Oh, yeah, I still got them. Gosh, these things are running up in the creature right now They are running up in the backwaters Okay, we picked up a few extra fish along our way here at this time our lines have been set for about Three hours. This is the really fun part that I like. It's it's the surprise You know or any of those things gonna have a monster catfish. Maybe they'll have nothing. I don't know but It's the anticipation for one time me and Rob did this. There was a nine almost a 10-pound bass on one of these It's crazy. Anything could happen on these jug lines jugs out. There's one that is not tipped over and sitting over there I'm looking for the other one. I don't even see it Something just looks funny with this One of them will just cut like somebody Is either a jack wagon cut my line something that sucks because that was my Best one, but I'm looking at two. These are the ones in the middle Of the creek and they're both tipped up. So We'll see if there's anything on there. I don't see see them bobbin, but they definitely got hit I don't think there's anything on there. I'm gonna leave that one Okay, so this one's bobbin a little bit. I think we got something here Yeah, this one's moving This one's got some movement to it Okay, let's see what we got. Yep. I feel one I feel one on there Nice kitty cat baby There's a nice channel cat That's a fat channel cat there And looks like he ate bluegill The one farthest back in the creek Look at that guy. Let's keep it the old feel See what we got Yeah, I really don't feel anything. There's a stump Wow big tasty bluegill on there Nobody wants it. What the heck This is the one I was hoping would just get bam boozled That big bluegill head on there Unclip our weights let our little snap just put it back in there Wrap it up and put it in our bucket Alrighty y'all this is what we ended up with today Got all our jug lines put up A very very fat channel cat I mean this guy has been eating good And channel cats in texas they normally don't get very big You know, this is probably around the average size. He's just mega fat blue cats What I was really going after today closer to the main lake and whatnot. They are much bigger They have a lot more meat on them But that channel cat is one of the fatter ones I've ever caught and we ended up with some white bass, of course Wouldn't be a day on the lake without some white bass in this boat time to take it in as usual I'm going to put these on ice and then clean them later and we'll make some Gulled and christies with them and as I've been out here my first video going up with the new boat went up So I've been going through some of the comments and y'all have me cracking I think we're gonna have to get some some proper lettering And really name it on the side of make it look clean But oh my gosh, but we'll let the video sizzle a little bit and see what else you guys come up But there's one name that just keeps popping up. Alrighty, let's take it on into the treehouse Drank it up every time back home again Fish or ice down life is good at the treehouse Now if any of y'all are wondering about cooking these catfish cleaning them, how do you skin a kitty cat? Well, I've got videos I've done before I will link them down below It's always good to do it again. I enjoy doing it I would cook these up today But Steph says she is cooking a pizza and to be honest with you Sounds pretty gosh dang good But I caught just enough for me and stuff to have another meal together So I will include that on another vlog very soon and go ahead and just smash that like button for putting fish in the cooler That's good times and on the next video the John boat is going to have a name. Thanks to y'all I'm going to go review the comments right now. So stay tuned and I'll see you then Right there my friends Is going to do it for today's dangle
