How To Catch Early Spring Catfish (CRAZY Action)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ส.ค. 2024
- The early spring catfish bite had just started to pick up so I decided to head out and film and cover some tips on how to catch early spring catfish.
My clients called and canceled on me because they were afraid it was going to rain. I was at the marina with the boat in the water and already had bait so I decided to go out and film. I fished the first two places I stopped and had one bite and one fish so I made another move and caught a TON of blue catfish catching 24 blue catfish in 43 minutes.
I cover some early spring catfishing tips and show a bunch of action of me fishing shallow catching a big mess of blue catfish.

Do you like these longer videos like this with more action and commentary mixed in?
yes i do i love your videos :) seeing you in action is awesome
Yes longer videos!@@therealfreekshow
I do like the longer video version with the action mixed with commentary. As for your client, I wish I would have been closer I would have gone with you. Rain or no Rain. Some of my best trips are in the rain. tight lines.
Heck yes!! Cool video Chad
Awesome video! Cool seeing a different side of you. I’ve read your spring fishing book and seeing you put all the pieces together was cool.
I think both types of videos are great! When you have a specific point or two to make, put together a short and sweet video like you’ve always done. But these longer more real life videos are good as another way of teaching.
One thought, I would have loved to seen your sonar as you found fish. What did you see on SI that made you stop? Those type of examples would be extremely helpful. Did you see three or four catfish streaks on SI or was it dozens? Etc.....
Keep up the good work!
I like the longer more in depth videos. I watch TH-cam instead of regular TV so I have no problem sitting down and watching a 20 minute video on how the pros are getting on fish.
Thanks for the feedback Brad!
Man, I cannot figure out how to catch shad. I have been watching and learning from your videos for a few years now. It would be great as a fan to see and learn more about how to find and catch shad.
I also think I speak for many of us that we enjoy seeing bits and pieces of your personal life too. It's cool to see how rockstar fisherman are normal people as well. Just my humble opinions.
Have always loved this channel and most definitely plan on booking a guided trip later this year.
Throw net and not alot of boat traffic

Great video. Yes I do occasionally enjoy some of the longer videos.
Thanks Mark
Man those comorants are going to be drawing a lot of fish into that area, I love fishing around those birds, especially with a plop rig.
Doesn't do much for fishing in that kind of wind!
Have always enjoyed the quick to the point videos with tips. But Seeing fish in the boat while getting the same good info had me watching this video to the end. Thanks.
Thanks Grant, I appreciate the feedback!
Chad that was great. I’m a bank fisherman and in the greater DC south central PA area. I don’t get out enough to fish but if I catch fish it’s because of your advice and the Chunky Catfish
Awesome John, thanks so much. I've seen a lot of videos of guys fishing up that way, looks like fun, one of these days I want to make my way up there. Never been!
Catfish Edge it’s pretty cool to be on a channel cat in the shadow the memorials or in sight of the capital
And God Bless You for sharing your worry and concern for your dog! Thank you!
She’s been a great dog. I know the day is coming so I’m always on edge. Tough stuff!
Chad it sure is very hard! Hang in there and know you gave your puppy a wonderful life! They are our babies and love us unconditionally!
On the newer end of catfishing & these videos are really good! Full of Info as well as great personal tips and pointers. Keep posting!
Thanks!
I got BLITZED by the catfish bite once. It was hard to fish 3 rods. I enjoy your videos, thanks.
Thanks Paul
Sounds like you're fishing clients missed out I wish I could have been by the boat ramp when they call to canceled I took their spot look like a good day fishing keep up the good work love the videos hope you start feeling better
LOL, I told them the fishing was going to be awesome! Maybe I should send them the video :)
Man, these videos couldn’t be too long. Tons of great information here. Thank you for doing this!!! Keep em coming, Buddy.
Thanks
Enjoy the longer videos, love watching and learning from them. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Justin.
Saw the beginning minute or so of this video and thought...man they probably thought you have the rona!!! Then I realized the video is 2 years old lololol!!!
Awesome video man!
i just realized your comment is 2 years old 😂
Great video. Always enjoy watching fishing action shows how your tips work in a real setting.
Thanks Robert
I enjoyed this video. I enjoy the techniques you share while fishing. I like the lay out of your boat also
Thanks
I enjoyed the video and the comments and tips. Thank you.
Great day there . Love your videos thamnks for posting
Thanks
Yes the longer videos are great and the commentary about what and when and why you are doing what you are is very helpful.
Thank you
Yes I love your catfish videos keep up the great work
Thanks
Great video. I wish you would have told us about the depth you were fishing, or the terrain. You said is was shallow, but shallow is a relative term. I would also liked to have seen some side imaging screen shots, as you talked about that being critical to finding fish.
Thanks for the feedback
I really enjoy your videos, I would like to see the rod tips when you are getting a bite. You described the bite but I would have liked to see it. I like to watch fish being reeled in but I learn more from the bite.
Thanks. It’s tough to capture it all and with fishing like this you have to get to the rods fast!
I always enjoy your videos and seem to learn something from each one.
Thanks!
Awesome work,as always
Thanks
Another video I think would get a ton of views is how to find fish in the middle of the lake you and some others do. Beginners, like myself, only know how to fish visible structure on the banks, even from my boat. You've done some great videos on how to drift, but where and why are you are drifting to find the fish is the answers we (I) need.
Everytime I drift anywhere all I do is get hung up everywhere. Lol.
These videos are awesome, nonetheless!👍
Thanks
Would have liked to see GPS map of type of area you are fishing . Main lake or Cove etc. Also how deep you where anchored and the depth the blues where at. Great video!
I really appreciate your videos. The wife and I watch them to get ideas for when we go to our lake house on lake Corpus Christi (when it has water).
Thanks
You've got the sweetest looking rods and reels. I love the black and orange!
Thanks!
Heck Chad! I hope you sent them videos! I would never cancel. That’s what rain gear is for! I live in Ohio and want to someday book a charter! I would have to get a motel, lol! But to fish with you in my lifetime would be just amazing!
Thanks love to have you out some day
Thank you for all your wonderful video’s! I am hoping in the next year to plan a trip with my brother. If not I’ll have to come by self. Thanks again for everything you share because I have learned so very much from you!
It is great when they are hitting like that, you`re giving me the fever
It is and the really good bite hasn't even started yet.
I liked your video, I live in Fort Worth , moved here about three years ago. Looking for good fishing lakes
Great video Chad very informative like the longer videos
Thanks
those fishing rods look slick
Those whisker seekers are sick. The ice rod for Kyak fishing is incredible.
Your videos are all good. I know that this one was a video made by one guy and umpty-leven poles out -- That's an amazing feat in and of itself! I don't think you need to worry about format: Anything you do will be enjoyable and useful for us all! I hope you get better soon: Take care of yourself! I'm looking forward to more great fishin' videos!
Thanks Keith
This was a great video. Gave me some ideas on how to locate and catch more fish on my local lake. Thank you.
Thanks
I enjoy both types of videos, keep them coming.
Thanks Martin
I love the newer long style video
Also great catfish action
Thanks
I love this style of action packed and knowledge videos great seeing different ways a catfish can bite and i love those whisker seeker rods i bought one myself your doing great man i wish i can do what you do for a livin keep up that good work hope you feel better brotha.
Thanks Travis
Damn, Chad Ferguson just sounds like a fisherman
Anything you do is good I could use help on the where to Find Places to fish for catfish on the Lake
Thanks!
Man i want that boat. Its Awesome Chad
Thanks
Awesome keep doing longer videos
Thanks
Great video, liked everything, great tips, look forward to your next video.
Thanks
8 or 9 days?? You lucky man 😂
Awesome......nice catfish......
Thanks
Keep up the good work!
Thanks
Dang, I'm jealous. Went to the Brazos and threw 8 jugs and used 3 poles with cut bait and didn't get much...
it happens
Hey Chad hope you continue on the road to recovery. I like the longer video's quite simply for observation purposes. Seeing how and what you are doing along with the tips makes for a better video. Sharing bits and pieces of who you are and whats going on makes an even better connection.
Thanks, these videos are a LOT of work but I had fun putting this one together.
Hello I really enjoyed your content , thank you Ive been fishing for few years now n crazy bout catfish lol so any tips n tricks I appreciate , what is the fishing pole your using n the blue thingy on your line thanks!
We were fishing Lake Worth this weekend bank fishing. Caught some nice shad no catfish only drum and and white bass. I wanted so bad to catch a Lake Worth catfish
Keep at em! Catfish moved out of the shallows for a few days.
@@Catfishedge thanks for tip. We're going to half day sign up for one of your trips
Love the longer video! I do wish you would show the rods prior to the fish biting so we can know what to look for when fishing on a boat, with high winds, and with current.
Thanks. I’ll try in the future it just eats camera batteries when I try to
Film like that
I’ll Keep that in mind. It just eats camera batteries when I try to do that.
That makes sense, I don't know a lot about filming like this.
Love the video
When fishing in ponds for channel cats does a big weight scare them away? Is 2 oz too big?
I like to use much less weight for channel catfish
Nice job 👍👍
Thanks
Liked your vid. I was wondering where you get your shad at that early hour. That's almost always my biggest
Struggle is being able to get fresh bait
Jesse, it changes constantly based on water temperature and time of year, sometimes it's easy and sometimes it's a lot of work. In the early part of spring it's often a lot of work but as the water warms it gets much easier. I've got some tips on the website and here on my channel as well and also have a book that's all about shad and finding them through the year.
Ok thanks for getting back to me. I will check out the info you suggested
good video needs more tips. water temp, picture of side scan, depth.
Thanks for the feedback
Great video. Does it make a difference if you are fishing with 2 different kinds of shad? Like Gizzard and Threadfin? Do the fish prefer one over other?
Usually has more to do with the size of the bait. Match the hatch!
Catfish Edge ok thanks!
That was a great day of catching fish, congrats! I saw 1 of the rigs you were using it looked like a demon dragon style rig but looked like you had a swivel of some kind going to the hook can you show me that rig?
Look at the video right before this one on drifting rigs
Catfish Edge I went back and watched that video and you didn’t show how your rig was connected to the hook, it looked like swivel in this video. I’m just curious if you’re using a way to connect the hook than I’m used to seeing. Thanks for the videos.
@@glennscatfishing th-cam.com/video/igkyK7IkMno/w-d-xo.html
I like this style video. Things I learned after watching your video are 1. Keep moving until you find the fish (I'm bad about not doing this enough), 2. Use high visibility line - only two of my catfish poles have the high visibility line, but I'm changing that ASAP, 3. Use fresh bait - I always use frozen skipjack, bluegill, and other frozen cut baits and don't ever catch 24 fish in 43 minutes. Are you removing the scales on your bait, like using chunks of skinless meat? I just found your channel today and I subscribed. Tight lines and keep the videos coming.
Thanks
I have not knowledge about fishing but your videos are owesome!! What bait do you used when you said small pieces? Meat?
Fish
Were would be the best spot in a Reservoir when the weather is in the low mid to upper 80's for catfish ? Im in Arizona.
Where the bait is
Are you able to use the santee cooper rig on a grassy bottom lake?
Yes
Great video. Please add a little segment about presentation and setup. Some of us don't have a lot of experience catfishing and the knowledge would be helpful.
Thanks. It's hard to squeeze everything in!
Love video
Thanks Terry!
How does boat traffic effect how catfish bite? Does heavy traffic scare them to where they won’t bite? I don’t ever see boat traffic during your videos.
In shallow water it impacts them a lot. I try to stay away from other boats.
Hey Chad what type of reel is those?? I use the 2pc 9.6 rods love them
Abu 6500 Pro Rocket BE
love spring cat. New SUB, hope to catch you back
Have you caught any blue cats at lake Fork? All I catch is channels.
Not one.
Where you get the jacket and pants your wearing?
That's the Hodgman H5 Storm gear ----> gocatfish.in/H5Jacket
Just realized, you had the rona!
That’s probably what it was. Didn’t know it at the time though.
Gteat video chad
Thank you!
hi catfish edge can u help me i'm desperate to catch a catfish and i've been trying to catch them but they just don't bite
I've been trying to catch them in a tributinary to a dam and i'm using worms for my approach but i haven't had any sucess can i've also tried other kinds of approach but thats also useless and next time im going catfishing to the tributinary again but this time i'm gonna use chad and can you please give me any advice to help me so that this time i'll get good result.
John go to my website and read / watch everything up you can. That will give you enough to be dangerous!

Lol ... no
Do you ever fish the river
At times. Mostly lakes.
I've never used a santee rig would you recommend it for a river and long of a leader should i use
Leader depends on where the fish are holding. Check my other vids and website, it’s covered in depth
Ok thanks
What kind of bait you using?
Fresh threadfin shad, was covered in the video.
Bet those clients wish they didn't cancel lol
LOL, I told them the fishing was going to be awesome! Maybe I should send them the video :)
