ON TARGET | Inactive Catfish on Shallow River Systems
For anglers, education about fish and their habits is both critical and inevitable. Some outings are more instructive than others, and impatient or inattentive anglers are likely to miss out. This catfishing expedition reiterated to me the critical importance of patience and precision. While catfishing I always strive for precision in my bait placement, but precision becomes even more critical when the catfish are inactive. In the case of this trip, many catfish were actively spawning and were thus inactive in their feeding regimen. Though fish were not actively feeding, I was able to pick off more than one solid catfish by precisely adjusting my position and placing baits right on their nose. Judging by the aggressive surges of these fish I estimate that their eating my baits was an aggression response. While aggression may have motivated fish to strike on this outing, fish do not have to act aggressively for precision to play a key role in angling success. Actively feeding fish will range out farther for a meal, but the closer you get a bait to a fish's mouth the more likely that that bait gets hit. Like us, catfish put a lot of effort into their laziness. Easy offerings are always best if you wish to keep on a consistent bite.

SMALL RIVER Catfishing with Worms
มุมมอง 3Kหลายเดือนก่อน
With big bites hard to come by during the heart of the spawn, I decided to bust out the light tackle rigs and give worms a try. I was going for smaller fish but more bites, and I did get more bites! However, my skill with the tiny catfish has diminished with time, and I lost as many as I caught. Furthermore, two of the catfish I did land were anything but tiny. Landing big catfish is always fun...
Suspending LIVE Bluegill for Catfish (Plus Bonus Fish)
มุมมอง 1.3K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
It took a while, but I finally found the year's first flathead catfish. Maybe the use of live bait helped, or maybe I finally just got on the right spot. Regardless of reason, I was sure excited when I felt the characteristic 'thump' of a flathead catfish bite. I hit the river trifecta, landing both species of catfish - channel and flathead - plus a big bonus carp on a light tackle rod baited w...

    Oh no, come on man, you don't have a scale? I was trying to guess what that cat weighed and was definitely going to ask at the end, but I was thinking you'd guess too, and that our guesses would probably be pretty similar. But, um, they were not, at all even, close. I paused the video when you said your number and I haven't read the comments yet, but I'm also not going to say my guess till I watch the rest, then come back and see if I can look any closer, and maybe change my guess if I see something I didn't consider before. And I'm not a pro or probably even that good at cat fishing compared to a lot of folks, but even here in Montana where I'm at, I catch quite a few cats every year, and I do my best to weigh them all, which helps me in the future when I do have to guess. And I also know how easy it is to guess their weight higher than it really is, because they DO look big, and especially if it's one of the biggest ones you've caught so far. I do that very thing, and that's why I'd rather weigh than guess their size. I'm thinking or wondering if the camera made a difference in how I'm viewing it, maybe I'm getting a way different perception, because there's quite a spread between our numbers, and I guess I'm just assuming you've caught a ton of these and therefore should be a good judge of it's weight. So yeah, I'm not calling bs on your guess, but maybe a little bs on the fact you don't have a good scale with you!

    • @fishstandard
      @fishstandard 25 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I don’t recall what I said in the video, but I’ve learned to avoid commenting on weight on film! Folks get hung up on a number when the experience and enjoyment is really what counts. That’s why I rarely carry a scale. Thanks for watching and good luck on the water!

    • @fishstandard
      @fishstandard 25 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I suggest using some kind of cut or live fish (read your state’s regs to find out what species are legal). Pick a good bait and stick with it until you start to get a better feel for where to locate fish. After you start to figure out that piece of the puzzle then you might experiment with bait offerings. Learning what locations hold fish is key. Focus on location at first and keep everything else simple. I use a Carolina rig with cut or live fish almost 100% of the time. Good luck!!

    I’ve been watching your videos for over 2 years and I’ve noticed the water is lower than last year when you were catching all of those flatties. Do you think the water level had something to do with it, I’m from OK and fish the Arkansas river north of Kaw at the Kansas line and I always do better when the rivers up and flowing good, but other people swear that when the waters low the fish are easier to find and are normally starving. It’s only a matter of time before you find the flatties again brother.

    • @fishstandard
      @fishstandard หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you for the continued support! I’m not sure what has caused the limited flathead bite this year. We have been in a drought cycle for over three years now, and the water level is certainly lower than it was last year (lowest I have ever seen). Last year I felt the awesome flathead bite was due to lowered water levels that had the fished pushed into deeper pockets where they were easier to find. For some reason, this year as the water levels have further declined the fish are no longer where they were. Any reason I can give for the changing bite is really just speculation. I have landed a few flatties recently, though none of extraordinary size. Look for those videos coming up soon!

I’ve yet so roll mine, but when I saw you take your spill with that MONSTER Flatty I knew anything is possible. If you ever wanna do a video somewhere else I can take ya on the Arkansas river right at the Kansas/OK state line. I do really well with channels, blues and flatties. I also am able to fish with two rods but I just use rope with a rebar stake and bury into the banks rather than the brush clips. I’m not a fan of getting a big fish on the line, and realizing I’m snagged. It’s much easier than fry to release my anchor point to go try and get the fish out of the logs.

      Pretty much. It’s a safe bet that fish will be holding in or around brush in comparatively deeper water. I get as close to the cover as I can. If there’s a fish there and I can get a bait close enough they will probably take it.

      I paired a KastKing Rover 60 baitcasting reel with a 7’ medium heavy Ugly Stik catfishing rod. I run a basic Carolina rig almost exclusively - 80lb mainline braid, barrel swivel, 40lb monofilament leader, 8/0 circle hook. Rod and reel combo cost around $90 bucks, though that price is probably around $110 now. It’s a solid combo for the price. You can get something better but would be hard pressed to find better quality at this price point.

      While catching fish for food is an extremely important reason for angling, it is not the only valid reason. Your state wildlife department probably has some information available to help address your question. Funding received from the sale of licenses is critical to conservation efforts and would likely be near the top of the list.
