  • I was out doing some bass fishing when I came across a school of channel catfish. I didn't have any catfish gear with so I had to make do with what I had and find some bait to take advantage of the situation!

    Frog tip: bullfrogs will hit a lure if you dangle it in front of their faces. Something like a small, brightly colored rooster tail is ideal. Don't know if you have bullfrogs up north, but it's an easy way to catch some.

      Luckily I paddled by that island earlier and saw a ton of frogs so I knew I’d find some bait there. I should really put a small box of tackle together to keep in my kayak for catfish, panfish and anything else I occasionally come across a school of. I remember finding a school of crappies a couple years ago and having to throw bitsy bug jigs at them lol.

  • @junk250
    @junk250 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Love this Channel, when I learned to fish a long time ago you went to a creek with a few hooks and split shot with no lures or bait. But you had some type of 2-3 ft seine to catch some bait and if you have a hellgramite or leeches or craws on a hook it was guaranteed success. You should seine some awesome bait from the beautiful creeks you fish
