The Ultimate Guide to Catching Stocked Catfish in Urban AZ
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ส.ค. 2024
- Catfishing Arizona’s urban ponds can be tricky, but with a small amount of knowledge you will have it down in no time. There are so many locations to choose from that all get filled up with fish.
Arizona has a stocking schedule for the urban ponds here in the valley, they are filled up on 2 different seasons throughout the year! This leaves plenty of channel catfish for people to catch.
Catfishing can get very complicated so it’s best we keep it simple. Sometimes people do the most for some stocked fish, when you don’t need much for these guys.

Just fished the Riparian and a guy had his rod pulled into the water while it was leaning on the middle wall!!! He literally jumped in the water and was able to find his pole... the fish was still on!! He landed it and it was about a 5 lb cat!! Amazing...
Whattt? That’s insane! He got it back tho that’s what counts hahaha
Now that was a great video. Complete setup,bait,hooks & underwater shots with great fishing action. This will help anyone to get out & fish. Well done Mark!🎣👍😉
Thank you my man that’s the goal!
Them ponds are nice to fish, fished them 2 weeks ago when i was in the valley. I got lucky with 2 but just done some catch and release, literally almost took my pole in the pond 👍
Great video! Really love to watch your videos!
Awesome! Yes they can pull hard haha. I appreciate your support 💥
@@TheFishinMagician20 keep up the great content enjoy the videos 👌
Great video as always. I like to use 5 ft 6 inch medium power rods to catch these AZ ponds because most of them are 1lb to 4lbs but sometimes you can catch a 10 pounder or two 😃😃
Yea I get it haha, play with them it can be fun forsure
Some easy fishing in Arizona. Love your videos bro. In ponds similar to that here in Louisiana people charge you. There called pay lakes. We use range cubes (cattle feed) for chum. Beautiful fishing spots there.nice and clean. There would be people shoulder to shoulder here in a pond like that open to the public
i have heard of places like that! It can be very eay here but alot of people struggle. Thank you for the support!
Super impressive tutorial, thanks! I’d kill to fish with my Dad again!
Thanks! I am cherishing it forsure
Yuhh great fishing because of these stockings catching 15+ cats between me and my buddy consistently
Heck yea bro 🔥🎣
But hopefully keeping only 2😮
Can wait!! I bet it’s going to be great as always 🎉🎉
You know it 💥
Very informative! Makes me want to fish there 🎣🎣
I’ll remember you said that hahaha
I think I’m ready. Thanks for the info
Any time!
Just started watching you a couple months ago and I’ll tell ya I’ve learned some things lol
That’s the goal bro! Thank you 🙏🏼
Great video. Good info, and look to be having fun. I believe they are stocking trout next weekend in one of our city ponds. This will be the second time. I'm looking forward to this. Be blessed. My friend.
That’s awesome, stocked trout are a blast!
The game warden said they pushed it back to December because of the heat
As always, I enjoy your videos.
Glad to hear it!
We used cut up pieces of hot dog that sat in the sun for 24 hours. We crushed it at Desert Breeze, Gila Springs, and Kiwanis Park back in 1992. Before everyone moved to AZ and #$#$## it all up.
I bet it was insane back then haha
Nice job bro!!! I missed the first stockings here in Tucson but definitely going out in the next few days, Or the next stock. I lnow I only have like 2 stocks left before Trout come in. Keep it tight bro!!!
Heck yea man! You’ll get on em!
Can’t wait your video are so amazing to watch
I appreciate you! This one should be fun!
Nice man super informative, killed it 💪🏼
🔥 thank you bro
Well put together video brother.
i appreciate it man!
I would keep my limit for meals to pay for my fishing license in food.👍 Very nice stockers. Thanks for sharing.
Heck yea man I am not against it 💥🙏🏼
Great tutorial video Compa! Keep them coming like this.. Can you do some vids out here in West valley?? Saludos Compa Marcos!
Thank you man. Yessir I need to get out that way forsure 🙏🏼
I gotta admit that you are fun to watch but I almost always use cut bluegill for bait!! My best day was 90 fish , all cats at Cortez! If you have ever heard of A.Z. that's me !!! If not, I really don't care cause it doesn't matter. There are very few people who can even get close to what I do!!! If you would like to learn, I would be more rhan happy to show you what it takes, It's pretty damn simple really!
Where did you get those heavy duty rod holders? I need those because I have kids LOL!
lol! my buddy custom welds them for me
I like a medium action 6 pound line and catch 5 pound catfish and bass its a thrill and theres not really structure to get hung up on
Heck yea
Remind people to check their drag before putting the rod in the holder. A little too loose is better than a little too tight.
Nice sharing friend, amazing
Thank you!
Great in depth video! One question though, what size was that treble my guy? Gonna try my hand at punch bait
Treble was size 3 👍🏼 good luck
Great tutorial vid.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Good day !!
Great day!

Some nice cats.
Thank you 🔥
what pond is this if you don’t mind me asking?
What is this pond called?
Is this Chapparal pond?
where is this pond?
What pond in az is that?
I catch a lot of cats at Encanto park using beef liver 👍
Beef liver is a great bait 🔥
Where is this pond located and name?
Watching you bait that hook i could smell the punch bait. Is that weird or do I need a shower.
Did they put blue dye in the pond? Water is not a true blue for water.
yes they dye them because of the sun here
@TheFishinMagician20 Wow really. Are they safe to eat?
Where do you get your bait is it from liar corner
@@edgarmuro7790 copperstate tackle they have Stryker. Tell them I sent yah 🙏🏼🔥
@@TheFishinMagician20 I’m going to stop by tomorrow and check it out 🤙
Can you put the names of the lakes that
you’re at in town?
What pond is this?
Discovery park?
What type of bobber do you use?

What pond is this
Where can I buy some of that bait?

How long of a leader do you use?

@@TheFishinMagician20 thanks for the fast reply! I’m in CA but I ordered some stryker going to test it out this weekend!
@@hectorm270 good luck bro no problem!
Yo wat up 🤘🏽
My man good to see you
Sticky bait always works
You know it!
#matchthebatch of pelletized bait
Hahaha you know it man
Wonder how @Reelfishingaz feels about the title of this video...😂
Lol what you mean?
Seconddddddd
Dubs
Wow ur bass minimum is 13 inches? Ours here is 21
In the urban ponds yes
Where do you get the Striker Bait?
Some local tackle shops have it, but they have a website. Strykerbait.com
I'm surprised with the choice of gear. Far more heavyweight than needed for those size catfish. 5/0 size circle hook? 1/0 is way more than adequate. Medium heavy rod? Any standard 6' medium rod with 10# test line is all that's needed. Cats in the 1 to 6# range can easy be handled with this much lighter and cheaper gear.
Sure they “can” be, but this video is geared more toward beginners that maybe don’t know how to play fish as well. You’d be surprised how many fish people have broken off here on 15-20lb test. As for hook size, these stockers will swallow a 1/0 easily. 5/0 circle hooks keep them hooked in the lips for catch and release. I also mentioned 3/0-4/0. As for the price they have cheaper gear in all sizes. Medium heavy, heavy, medium, light, etc…
Do what ya' want! I've been fishing these lakes for 30-40 yrs. 4lb outfit for trout and 6lb for cats!! Largest fish was a 50 lb flathead from Cortez about 10 yrs ago! Happened during trout season on 4lb line and #8 hook using power bait trout!! Gotta admit I lived in Florida for 7-8 years and caught plenty of 80-140 lb tarpon on nothing heavier heavier than 12 lb Ande tournament line. Light tackle specialist. What you're doing is great for beginners but there is one whole lot more once you get into it!! Light line,no weight and natural baits put in the right places can be absolutely murder, I have taught many people how to do this!! And I have no qualms at all about teaching others!!! Still kinda fun to see what you're up to!!!! Keep it up!!!!! A.Z.
@@TheFishinMagician20 this comment below this one. 140 pound tarpon on 12# test?!? Dude is HIGH
FIRST!!!!, one to be fifth
😂 whatever works
#1-Grab a fishing pole with line
#2-Tie a #2 hook on it
#3-Bait said hook with almost anything
#4-Cast your rig as far as you can
#5-Wait for the disgusting and stupid bottom dwellers to bite and hook themselves
Done (with my ultimate guide to catching the dumbest fish ever)
((wipes hands clean))
It can be super simple, but you’d be surprised on how many people are unsure of where to start
bro u say the same shit every video like u say stuff that even beginners know
@@myriamcardenas5715 super ignorant comment bro. you’d be surprised how many people don’t know things. I get the same questions every video sometimes, “what’s your setup?” “What line rod and reel?” “What’s a good bait for catfish?” Some people just wanna start fishing and literally have no clue where to start.
@@TheFishinMagician20man people these days. Love your content btw and was wondering what this pond is called. Thanks and have a good day.
What pond is this ?
Discovery Park in Gilbert
