- Simple means efficient, and efficient means more time. The more time I get to spend with baits in the water, the happier I am. Especially if it helps me get to better water. Hope these simple ideas help you do the same, and make your time outdoors a little more enjoyable!

Would like to see more on your tackle and setups. What you recommend and how to set it up.
It's a long winter. I'll be doing several!
I respect drastically how you have the cojones to go fishing like that alone man. People don’t realize the dangers of being alone in those situations! Thanks for the informative content my brother! #Respect ✊🏼 💯 💪🏼
I guess I never worried about it too much. I do keep a first aid kit with me.
It all depends on your awareness, knowledge and level of respect for the river and wilderness. It's always best to have someone with you, as long as they also have skills. Sometimes though, you accept a certain risk level and go on solo adventures....making sure you inform someone of your location is a must. Today Ice Fishing solo was a good example....or when I got my suv stuck overnight on the riverbank...it can be scary and dangerous for sure....its not something I recommend....maybe it's a lil bit of stupidity, craziness and passion for the outdoors....be smart, safe and keep your lines tight.
I do 90% of my camping and fishing alone. I guess I am just old but I never worry. It could just be Im from a different generation. My biggest fear is other humans. The wild is fine most creatures are afraid of humans and avoid us.
@@BUGMAN-22 facts! Lol humans suck. Not all but most do
A true fisherman paddles up river the way you did that day with the wind and all. Props for commitments. Keep up the stable videos. Good luck out there man
I don't know if not makes me a true fisherman, but I do enjoy the challenge
My daddy grew up fishing the Arkansas River in Tulsa. Then we moved to Memphis, fishing the mighty Mississippi (shes no joke) and now I live in texarkana fishing the red river. I am a single mom of 2 teen boys. I watch your videos to help learn what my daddy didn't get to teach me or my boys. Kind of old school and new school. My dad always carried a flat boat cushion in the truck with him. It was some sort of life vest I think, it had straps or handles. Your stadium cushion reminded me lol. I know your ice videos are coming soon. I'm in texas. The thought of a lake freezing to the point of walking and drilling is foreign to me. Take your mom again that was sweet. Sorry for the thesis 😅 just wanted to express my gratitude for what you do. Your giddiness while fishing reminds me of how I used to feel when daddy took me along to the big scary river lol thank you.
That sounds like some great times with some great people growing up! Hope you and your boys have some great times on the water. I really appreciate you sharing that!
I need to do what you do, and pull over and bank fish. I always find myself on the water too damn long in my kayak until I basically have to drag myself out like I’m paralyzed from the legs down LOL because I can’t feel them....
Haha my first kayak was like that. An elevated seat helps A LOT. So does just pulling off to the bank.
@@RiverCertified I think that I am going to buy me a sit on top ascend kayak from Bass Pro
Don’t know what flicks zone is but pretty sure all three of these last comments are the same people;)
I've got to give you a huge compliment not only do I enjoy every one of your shows I now have my wife enjoying your shows also keep up the good work keep up the how-to shows and of course the fishing shows thanks
Thats super cool you watch em together. I'm gonna do my best to keep em rolling!
Like how you explain things. Easy to understand for people new to fishing or people just needing useful tips. Please continue with videos about fishing. My son and I just started watching. He's 6 lol
Why do people give thumbs down on a video like this.?? Spencer, I enjoyed this video. I always enjoy your videos and have never given a thumb down. Keep doing what you are doing.
I don't about that. I'm just glad you enjoyed it!
Good or bad he still makes $$
You're a beast for paddling up that first stretch. That wind was brutal.
Animals eat animal food.
Keep up the great videos!
I like proving to myself I'm not a weeny haha. Glad ya enjoy the videos!
Thanks for the tips they really help me, I'm from Oklahoma
Glad they do! You have some great catfish waters down there man!
Crocs man you definitely need crocs. I bought a pair for fishing on my yak and love them. Easy to get on and off, easy to clean if you get them muddy, and they completely dry within minutes. Never have to worry about wet feet again.
Problem with those is once they are wet or muddy, your feet slips around in em and you have no traction.
@@RiverCertified for about a minute or so after that your dry. But how much traction do you really need sitting in a kayak. 🤔😂
@@TheMulletboy77 its more when im dragging them up a bank at the end of the day.
MIND BLOWN 🤯 With the cooler chair
Great video
It's the little things haha
Great suggestions, thanks! I grew up fishing from the bank for river cats (rats!) There is nothing more fun than seeing a bobber plunge!
Couldn't agree more. Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the tips man!! I’ll use these and apply em to my Saltwater Jetty Fishing 🎣
It will definitely be applicable to that. I spent a couple summers fishing port mansfield and living in Brownsville. Sure was a couple fun summers!
Great tips man. Also love the home made rode holders i made some out of pvc pipe and they work pretty good. As always enjoyed the content. Keep goin strong
Hope they help man. Really glad ya dig the videos!
Since you mentioned home made rod holders I'd suggest a cheap one for folks to make which is pvp pipe and a metal rod thick enough to drill through. Drill through both sides of the bottom area of the pipe through the rod for long screws so you can nut and bolt tighten them down and have them act as a rod stopped. Do the metal and one side of the pvp up top to tighter with nuts. Leave excess metal to use as a spike on the bottom to whatever level you want. You can also buy these online, we call em sandspikes on the coast and down in florida. We use them for surf fishing and they hold up to sharks, but work crazy good freshwater bank fishing. You can adjust how far down you stick them, angle them or straight up, etc. Perfect when you need to hold a line over a snag, waves, or more at the water for light biters. I have never seen them anywhere but in florida and on the coast so many folks may not know they exist but they are cheap, easy to make, and hold better than the walmart screw shaped ones. Cheaper too usually!
Also you forgot an important tip: Don't forget the franks hot sauce.
Solid tips man. As long as it works for you, that's all that matters! They sound legit!
One of my favorite fishing spots is formed by a beaver dam, a central feature of which is a couch.
That's honestly pretty awesome
Still killin it man. nicely done spencer
Thanks Steve. Im still plodding along😁
Spence just wanted to take a second and thank you for the great yr of content in not so great of times and may you and the fam have a blessed holidays!!!
I'm glad ya enjoy it dude! Fishing and filming keeps me happy too
It's starting to get cold here in N.E. Ohio. This River Rat is getting prepared for ICE fishing. Maybe next year I can cross off a flathead from my to do list.
SCUMDOG FISHING
i live in N.W. Ohio on Indian Lake. just enough ice that ducks can walk on it. I'm not pressing my luck. ...lol
i like this guy cause he's not making a living off of YT like alot of the fishing videos. like us he enjoys fishing.
I'm gonna try my best to get on some good catfish bites through the ice this year. Hopefully get some good footage!
Alum creek cratfishing here in Delaware County, Ohio! Nothing but love for my fellow Ohioans!
@@davidj.hudson5226 I've caught a few bass out of the Delaware. Hell yeah Ohioans Unite.
@@fourdeadinohio8303 How deep is Indian Lake? Might take the trip this winter.
TH-cam keeps turning off notifications for your channel. Like the content. Keep them coming
I had the same thing happen last year. I'm glad you enjoy em enough to check for an upload!
Just a tip which may help someone re: stadium seat pads. In the early spring or late fall and winter when the gound is cold bring two. One for your butt and one for your feet. Keeping that cold from moving up through your feet will keep your feet warmer and you fishing longer. You'll be amazed what a difference it will make.
Ideas like this always run the line of comfort vs necessity. I guess it just comes down to person to person priorities. Solid advice though.
I really enjoy the tips and tricks videos! As a newbie to catfishing, they're always very much appreciated. Any way you could tell us what thickness the wire is on your rod holders?
Glad they help man! I think they're 1/4 inch, but I'm not positive.
Well be thankful I spent 53 years in Illinois and 4:15 was dark in Winter. I love these Western Iowa extended days especially durning the warm months when it's still light at 9:30 for me, just a slice of heaven. When we're out with our Rig Camping it's even more fun. There's something to be said for living almost on the edge of the Central/Mountain Time Divide. Question, it does get cold in Iowa, how do you keep the Bait tank from just freezing up? Seems like a simple answer but you never know.
I enjoy it too Harry. I don't like how early it gets dark in the winter though. I drain the bait tank in the winter and put it away. Just did that last Monday actually. I'll take it out sometime in March.
Living the dream young man, I really enjoy what your doin. Thank you
I try my best not to take any of it for granted! Glad you enjoy the trips!
Your right simply and go fish!!! 🎣🐠
I like to think so haha
Great video. I have a boat but love fishing from the bank probably as much or more. Bought a new backpack tackle box at Walmart the other day that has a small lined soft cooler in the top that’s pretty cool. Big enough for a couple drinks and a sandwich or something.
I can relate. Sounds like a slick set up!
The Cave Of Wonders is every fisherman’s dream
😆😆😆
Like the fishing. Not crazy about the hat. Go Reds!
Haha everyone is gonna beat up my cubs next year. Glad ya enjoy the videos!
I enjoy watching your videos. Fun, entertaining and informative! I look forward to implementing your techniques the next opportunity I have- I expect to catch a GIANT
Hell yeah man. If ya do, let me know!
Just made a few homemade rod holders the other day! They turned out great! Can't wait for this damn iowa weather the figure itself out so I can either go ice fishing or try out the new rod holders!
I short drive north or south takes that decision out of mother nature's hands. At least that's my plan this weekend haha
The fish Gods honor those who pick up others trash !
Amen to that!
Nice bank fishing tips.. I carry one of those stadium cushions in my truck. Your garage is cleaner than mine.
Glad ya enjoyed em man. I did just clean it up, so you might have a case now haha
Good points. And most of the time I'm fishing from my boat on the big crick I end up tying to the bank lol. Almost always bank fishing. Just have access to spots on the bank I could get to otherwise. Cool vid my friend and keep your powder dry young man. May need it before long.
I imagine when I get a boat ill be doing things very similar. Just got my fish finder in the mail. Im excited. Take it easy sir!
@@RiverCertified Have you ever tried a castable sonar like the Deeper Chirp for bank fishing?
Nice tips...thanks, Spencer!
I hope they help!
First off spencer you are the Deadpool of bank fishing.... Second I need you to market those rod holders!!! I need some!!!
PS what does a Creek chub catch clean and cook taste like !!! ......
Great Video !!!
Haha I'll take that complement! I might be working on making something happen with those, but there's a lot of hurdles to jump over yet. You might be waiting on the creek chub catch and cook.... for a while haha
River Certified 💯💪🏽🔥
Great video as always brother sofa in the river 😂 here in Dallas Texas on the south wing of the trinity river can find everything idiots dump and all the city’s waste goes threw there out to the Gulf of Mexico cars bodies safes all types of things smells so bad when passing than people eat the fish why idk waters contaminated 🤦🏽♂️
Yeah, it's pretty crappy when ya have to see all that. I want to fish the trinity bad for flatheads tho.
Can you go over each of your rig setups as well as your hook setups and explain which hook setups you use for each of the seasons.
Check out my tips and tricks playlist on my channel. That should help
Another great video Spencer it's been getting colder and colder here in Indiana I am rabbit hunting more than fishing now but I know when you can you will pull in another big flat head be careful
Nothing wrong with switching it up. I have rabbit hunnted since I was a kid. Glad ya enjoy the videos!
I need to make some of those rod holder.. ;) Happy Fishing ;)
They're honestly pretty slick!
If a couch in the water is a first for you then youre fishing in some nice waters. Im stuck fishing the Trinity River alot of the time and on any giving day amd if i needed to I could collect all the materials for a fully furnished house.
You need to head on down to the Fla Panhandle about now. We are catching the big Bull Reds along with with both speckled and white trout (tasty) and also some big Sheepsheads. Caught 2 the other day one was 23 inches the other 18. Come on to Apalachicola or Port St Joe or pretty much anywhere from Pensacola to Steinhatchee. The pre winter bite is on bro!!!😎👍👍
I keep thinking about it. Bummer part of teaching is I only get two vacation days during the school year.
River Certified lDamn that sux dude! Maybe you could come down with a fake case of the China Virus and get yourself a two week vacation and Bam! You are on your way😎
A few points of this video I really like..first the bait tank...awesome...the little tackle box..and lastly how muddy your kyack is...I dont have a bait tank...I carry one small tackle box and my kyack stays dirty from worm dirt and mud..lmao..great video..I really like the bait tank in the garage...I have been contemplating one of those..
I'm glad ya got a kick outta it man. Dirty kayaks have more character if ya ask me haha
I need some of those home made holders like yours lol
They're slick man!
@@RiverCertified no doubt. I’ve got the Walmart specials, several home made versions and bass pro specials, but the home made ones are big and bulky, the Walmart ones I don’t trust (even if they did handle a 11lb striper), and the bass pro ones don’t go but maybe 8-10” into the ground.
Cool video as always. I got excited when I saw the live suckers I thought we might get one more flathead video this year haha. Oh well you keep it interesting with all your tips and multi-species fishing. Wish we had those wipers you guys have out there they look fun!
I have a video with one little dink flathead in it I'm sure I'll get around to editing before too long. Wipers are definitely worth a trip man!
@@RiverCertified cool I can't wait! I'll take dink flatties at this point.
I like how the sunglasses and hat go opposite ways
It does the job
I feel so much better now that I see your tackle box is messy too lol, I get mine organized at end of winter but by end of fall its a nightmare. Also my thoughts on channel cats, they remind me of cocky teenagers with big attitudes who need an attitude adjustment that I am happy to supply to them lol.
Yeah, I'm gonna have to re-arrange it I believe. I find the best way to correct a channel cats attitude is with a fillet knife. I don't think I can recommend that for the teenagers haha
what.
Nice hat! Go cubs
Hell yeah man!!!
Yesssssiiirrrrrr!
Loved it do more of these. Your a pro in front of the camera. Respect!
It's a long winter. You'll definitely be getting lots of them!
Right on Spence! ✊🏻👍👍🤘✌🏻🎄
Glad ya liked it!
@@RiverCertified - yeah buddy!
Awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for the tips man
Gladly!
Good video👍🏻 Thanks Bud !
Glad ya enjoyed it!
Keep em coming
I'm gonna keep doing my best!
For rod holders I started carrying a single piece of pvc pipe, a small hammer and I just drive holes into the ground and put my rods on the holes instead of carrying multiple rod holders.
That'll work man!
Great show!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another one done Spencer. That said I'm in Colorado and fish year round. Of course I fish New Mexico sometimes too. Enjoyed the vid. Later guy.
Sounds like the life man. Glad ya enjoyed the video!
@@RiverCertified yeah Kris Flores is a buddy of mine.
Keep em coming!!
I'm gonna do my best!
In my experience, bad choices are recipes for good times🤓
Haha at the very least memorable times
If you survive
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger..... Bears will kill you!
@@chuckstith838 holy poop Batman. Spencer see if you got those videos I emailed earlier. They may have been too long and didn’t deliver.
Chuck...I swear we just had a momma bear and three Cubs come hang bang my sons truck and almost mine about two hours ago before I ever saw this message! Pretty sure momma smelled the skipjack that I tend to keep in the back of my truck! I just got about 7 shad out the back before we drove to the mountains of Gatlinburg. We had been here for a few hours and we had bears climbing on trucks and pooping in our yard!!! I had emailed Spencer the videos and then looked at my YT notifications shortly after and about p’d my britches when I saw your comment!
Gotta have the right weights
That definitely helps
Thanks for the handy tips. Would you go into the river to catch a big flathead catfish with just your hands and no fishing gear?
I've tried it a couple times. Its not my favorite.
I'm ready fish today nice man
Good luck!
@@RiverCertified thanks I don't fish catfish on full moons just me but bass today
nice video, if your fishing you are relaxing. less is more, younger is better lol. stay safe.
All true sir. You do the same!
Good advise but I am not smart enough to follow it. lol
Over the years I have paired down repeatedly yet it always creeps back up as I find that I need or want something I don't have and it gets added for the next trip(s). Last month I broke down and fashioned a gear carrier out of a golf push cart in an attempt to keep the walk down to, and up from, the water down to one each. It works well in the yard, yet to see if it functions well in the field.
In my defense, I account a short trip as 8 hrs. I am advancing in age but that does not count as an excuse as I carried too much/just enough in my younger years as well.
On those long trips, comfort becomes a major priority. It's tough to stay out there if you're miserable. I get it. Good luck fishing sir!
Great stuff
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love your videos man! Just wish I could catch a damn flathead lol
I bet those folks that were on that bank fishing before you probably caught Kyle schwarber
I hope they let him go haha
I really enjoy watching your videos. Your fucking funny lol and you seem to know your shit. The fact you wish others well at the end is the cherry on top. You make me want to make videos..I've been thinking about it for years. Regardless thank you for your time and effort.
There's a spillway type of thing close to where I live and there is literally car doors
Thata kinda cool really
What's your PB on doors?
@@chuckstith838 50 pounds
Great video as always .How do you keep the water temp cool in your garage bait tank in summer? I got the same setup works great in spring ,fall, and winter . But summer i lose alot of bait after there in the tank for a couple of days i know its water temp .Just curious didn't know if u had a/c in your garage or like a aquarium cooler .Or if u even have a problem with high water temp ?Any info greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work .
I honestly don't do anything, and haven't had much of an issue. With that being said, bullheads and sunnies are pretty durable.
@@RiverCertified yeah creek chubbs and suckers is what I lose mostly in summer. My sunfish usually don't have much problems either.Bullhead could live in anything I believe lol.Thx man can't wait to c ya on the next one .
Watch out on them slippery slopes Spence
Despite my efforts, I can't find fish in Northern Illinois from November to April. I don't know where they go. I've tried everything.
I used to run into that problem catfishing. Maybe I'll make a winter catfish how to video with the things I've learned
@ STAHL'S BLUES - The catfish are dormant with the water temps below 50° during those months. They find deeper holes & are not as aggressive but can be caught. You would be more likely to catch a blue cat as they aren't affected by water temps.
Just subscribed to your channel. Great points, thank you. Go Cubs!
I got five tackle boxes I take every time I go fishing one of them for lead only and it weighs about 40 pounds the others are lures and hooks and line and floats
You must have a strong back.
I love rubber boots. $20 from Walmart. They have more than paid for themselves in the amount of places I have been able to get, my gear i have been able to get back or gear other people have abandon.
Mean channels are always good lol, Good Points As well, Sometimes if I'm going far I'll throw hooks sinkers etc into a Zipper seal bag throw in backpack and take off , The small kits you use work great for the backpack too ,I need to seriously invest in a couple, Rain here has Everything Screwed Up for the river ,it's raining now with this second front passing thru now , tommrow afternoon jigging for Flounder Down on the Coast line in a couple of spots I know , sometimes good sometimes not so good , but hey,,,that's A Fishin mission either way,,
Sounds like a good plan either way. Hope you can get em dialed in. I'd kill to see a 2 inch rain here. We're bone dry. Hope you found em!
@@RiverCertified Struck Out, One On and he wrapped me in some Concrete or something, salinity was extremely low from rain the night before plus the front came thru had things off ,just a guess but logical, previous day's rains have alot if fresh water Which reduces the salinity and the saltyer type fish seem to longer out a bit more outta my reach for now , didn't know my favorite pier got some damage due to the freaking Halloween Hurricane so it's closed ,that sucks bug time I have caught lotsa fish there and some big Drum at that 25 -30 pounds fund to catch but not my thing , anyway, River stage Here is about
14 1/2 or so and I think falling ,no rain and a warm-up towards End of the week if everything holds that pattern and get back Below about 10 ft, I think maybe the River will be ok again ,if not I have another idea or two for a little Fishin Mission , maybe back to coast for another attempt for Flounder and maybe some Trout , ,, Keep ya line tight ,
@@donniedickerson8077 Better to strike out than to not have went at all man! Hope ya find em next time!
Hey spencer, I was wondering what rod holders you use for bank fishing?
Great Video. Do you have one on when you made the bait tank? If not I would like to see a more indepth video on that bait tank
I do. It's in the tips and tricks playlist on my channel. Hope that helps!
Like your videos a lot man! I am a 51 yr old life long channel cat fisherman and i have only caught 1 flathead in my life... so this year I started to change my rigs, baits, and equipment to target bigger fish. Now that it is December in Missouri, do you think I am wasting my time fishing from the banks, or a dock, on larger lakes?
Fishing is never a waste of time, but with that being said, I wouldn't target flatheads right now. You might run into some nice blues depending on the body of water you're fishing.
Greetings from South Carolina. Wish ya had a coffee cup.
Same man
Do you ever use stink baits? Like those ones in the tubs, secret 7 or any cheap brand
Not much man
Junnies cat tracker works great in water over 74deg
Hell ya I'm going out to catch some dirty IA channel cats after watching this. I'm currently out of Creek chubs tho was going to ask if you ever used bluegill for cutbait?
@@kennethwatson4489 oh I know them and bullheads are the best for flatheads but this time of year in Iowa flathead fishings pretty much done. I was just wondering about cutbait tho I've never used cut bluegill creek chubs are my preferred channel cat bait
Cut gills lots of times get the big fish. Not sure why. Especially the head chunk. Might not be as effective in this cold weather.
I'm in S.W. Iowa near Creston and caught tons of 8-14lb channels this year on cut bluegills. The last time I went was Nov. 6th and I caught 3, 2 on the same gut bag and 1 on the head. In my opinion, if there's bluegill in the water you're fishing it'll work as bait, cut or live.
Crocs, covers all bases
I used to wear those. They're just too slippery when they are wet or muddy
Started with a view of a couch and ended with you extolling the virtues of good seating. Went full circle on us there, Spielberg, or shall I say Spenceberg? Lol
How far is far enough for moving (walking) while bank fishing?
I like to overlay all my videos with a deeper meaning. That's a lie, considering I live my life 30 seconds at a time🤣 I used to walk up to a mile or mile and a half for flatheads. Now I just kayak haha
I have those rod holders. Can't remember where I got them but can't find them anymore.
I ran into the same problem. That's why I got em welded up.
Hell yeah man thanks again. I had to change my name from thecripple I guess a snow flake reported it lol, Heading out to the trophy lake this weekend cant wait lol
That sounds about right. Hope you beat em up man!
Great tips!
Glad you think so!
Are you gonna do any Ice fishing? And of so possibly Ice fishing catch and cook?...... Cant wait for the next video catch a monster bro.
Oh most definitely! I'll be chasing cats this weekend though and I'm gonna try to catch a monster!
It looks like yall are having a mild winter thusfar.
How does it suck to get a gar? Unless it's too small for the bait, then I understand.
I miss warm
Same
So you're not going to brace the cold and fish on the river? I know you'll be ice fishing mainly but figured you would atleast venture there. Good video brother.
I might be holding some footage to not blow up a spot😁
The only giant I have ever caught was in the bathroom at a frat house my freshman year. The frat guys all thought it was awesome, I didnt. The awkward eye contact on the quad every day the rest of the semester only made it worse.
Hahaha thats pretty great
River certified whats the blue hue to the baitfish water? I would like to see your baitfish tank set-up?
I have link to it in the description 😀
Is there a reason you choose J hooks? I was under the impression that circle hooks worked better for catfish. Just curious.
I enjoy having the option of setting the hook, even when the fish doesn't full commit, especially in cold water
@@RiverCertified Thanks for the reply 👍
I can tell the bite has been a lot lighter since its gotten cold outside. I'll grab up some J hooks and work on that hook set.
@@gryphon37 set hard with mono, simply reel and lift if you're using braid
How do you tell how deep it is when you cast?
Brother, where are you at? Des Moines, Iowa? I am in Joliet, Illinois.
j
I'm in the des moines area, but fish everywhere
@@RiverCertified Do you ever catch any sauger or are they more in a swift river as opposed to a calmer moving river?
@@gregorycrnkovic1660 very rarely
@@RiverCertified Very tasty they are(too much yoda).The Fox runs into the Illinois around Ottawa, Illinois makes it a great place to get them. There is a cooling lake at the La Salle nuclear power plant in Seneca, Illinois that has blue cat as stout as fire hydrent!
Do you ever run your baits out in the kayak. Then go back to the bank?
Not in the river. I have a few times in a lake. Used to do it all the time for sharks.
Go Cubs Go
Hell yeah!
Really hopping someone can tell me what's the difference between 1P and 2P on these rods. I'd like to pick one up!
1P=1 piece. 2P=2 piece. Hope that helps.
@@RiverCertified I realized that right after I posted and felt dumb 🤦🏾 thanks haha
