  • My name is Tim Scott, a diehard cat fisherman trapped in the winter lands of Illinois. Join me, and my catfishing friend Shawn Liggett and I on our quest to pattern blues on a small midwestern power plant lake that isn't running hot water. Tactics, tips, patterning, and advice.

      I did my first winter trip on the illinois river dec 7 1992, chainsawed my way from the boat ramp to the main river which was mostly open but there were big ice sheets coming down river but i found a wintering area and tore em up in 5 to 12 foot of water on the downstream side of a small island. It didnt always go that well and soon learned several techniques for hooking light biting big channel cats.

    “...flimsy rod”? That rod was perfect. In my opinion, most TH-cam catfisherman use way too heavy rods.

    • @epiccatfish365
      @epiccatfish365  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Where we normally fish NONE of the rods we had in the boat that day would work at all. So flimsy is completely correct to describe the uglystick and skp.

    • @epiccatfish365
      @epiccatfish365  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well i suppose we didnt- although the principle of the rod limit law is to insure that folks dont unfairly catch too many fish that they keep therefore over pressure the shared natural resource is reasonable and necessary we will follow it even if we dont keep any fish. Thanks for the heads up 👍

    Epic Catfish, In the past ( Pre Obama) catfishing in Pennsylvania on the Mongahala river was great at all the coal fired power plants. Hot water discharges kept Flatheads all winter long. We only have Channels and Flatheads in Western Pa. since Obama closed all the Coal fired Plants we have to wait till spring to catch them. Stay safe from the most corrupt State of Pennsylvania. God bless

    Hello, their sir. I have fished the same lake this past summer. I don't live too far from it, so it's become kind of a normal place for me to try out. I usually fish at another power plant lake not too far from this one. I only do bank fishing but have done very well catching the blue. Great videos!! Keep them coming.
