    The reflection of the clouds on the water and you in your kayak would make a beautiful picture

    You are the catfish magician Justin. Holding one fish, got another one hanging over the side waiting for you to get to it, and another one bites a 3rd rod. Also, it's funny seeing you catch flatheads suspending cut bait 2' off the bottom when so many people swear you NEED live bait to catch flatheads. Every video I watch of yours teaches me something new.

      +Casual Carolina Fishing All the flathead fishermen I know swear by livebait. I have fished live bait more this year than in any previous year and have still caught more flatheads on cutbait than live. Not sure why that has been the case but I am always thankful anytime I catch one.

    Thanks for sharing Justin I'm from North East Texas and started watching your videos a few weeks ago thanks for your input on how to catch Catfish you have helped me to break the code. Have been able to catch Blues on a regular basis now we're eating a few but now that we have fish in the freezer it's all catch and release. Can't wait to get into a nice Flathead.
    Thanks again your videos are a blast to watch.

    You mentioned you were drifting, not trolling. What is difference in your book? Also what kind of rig set up for both? Thanks so much. Great channel.

  • @tercelfish00
    @tercelfish00 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    What kind of mounting hardware do you use on your rod holders? Screws? Bolts? Rivets? Has to be pretty solid for those take downs.

    Justin where did you say you got your double hook Foley spoons? I've looked everywhere and can't find them.... If you don't mind telling me, I would greatly appreciate the info...

    • @KayakCatfish
      @KayakCatfish  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Foley spoon doesn’t make a double hook spoon. At least not to my knowledge anyways. Catfish Sumo makes the double hook spoons. You can find them on their website and amazon.

    Love your videos. Have a similar setup on my kayak. Lake I fish has a lot of 10 to 15 foot depth. Would you still drop your baits straight down in that shallow of water?

    • @KayakCatfish
      @KayakCatfish  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Gary Romano I would probably still keep my baits 1-3 feet off the bottom if I was fishing those depths. Being that it is a shallow lake, I would probably do more anchor fishing too. Thanks for watching!

    • @KayakCatfish
      @KayakCatfish  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The two I use are actually 5500s. If I ever have to replace them, I will probably go with the 6500 though for the extra line capacity.

    How would you recommend reading a river with no lake map? Just curious how you approach this. Thanks!

    • @KayakCatfish
      @KayakCatfish  7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +Big Cat River Fishing I would rely on google earth and my depth finder. I would look for visible places that should hold fish such as river bends, creek mouths, points, etc. Once on the water, I would use my depth finder to locate the break lines and fish the same way I currently do. If I were going to be fishing the same area regularly, I would probably just take an entire day and make my own map for future reference.

    I just went out to fish for catfish at a local lake because i was inspired by you. I had perfect size live bluegill and all the right gear but i didnt know what structure to fish. Could you (or anyone else) help me with where to start looking for catfish??

    • @KayakCatfish
      @KayakCatfish  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +PonyFoot123 Check out the Buck Perry structure fishing books. Those are the best resource I know of for learning how to read structure. They have helped me more than anything.

    from my point of view, looks like you could loose your rod. how do you secure your rod n the holder?

    • @KayakCatfish
      @KayakCatfish  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      A person who is concerned about loosing rods overboard should leash them to the kayak. If one goes overboard, it will be because I knocked it over. The fish are not going to pull it out of the holder while suspend fishing.

    • @KayakCatfish
      @KayakCatfish  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +M Holder If your phone is a smart phone, there should be an app store on it. Search Navionics in the store and it should come up. I have an iPhone so I'm not sure what it would look like on other devices. I am going to try to put together a video on using navionics over the winter when I'm not fishing as much.

    Ahhhh. Now I know. You cheat and use a fish finder. Real men just fish.... like Steve and I. Lol. Kidding. Nice flathead. I’ve been thinking about getting a fish finder. I really wish you would quit it with the dinks. You’re making me look bad. Maybe you should come up this way (to Norris Lake, or Douglas Lake) .... then we could get some we can eat.
    Ohhhhh noooo.... you just schooled me on the fish finder at the end of the video. Me and my big mouth.

      +Scott Taylor Haha! Your boy Steve has a fancy high tech graph on his kayak too. I am all catch and release. Even if I could eat them, I still wouldn't have an interest in doing it, especially with the big ones. Takes way too long to for them to get that big just kill them.
