Family is everything, great video LFG
Hey I Got something for you DM🖕!!.
Fish mug is pretty cool. Awesome dad gifts forever!!!
Your voice is just so dang calming.
Love it Justin - LFG GREAT VIDEO
Justin use pink Zote soap. Its a bar soap you can buy it Walmart. Its clean and cheap. Only catfish will bite it. We use it all the time in South Texas Lake Corpus Christi. Combine that with medium circle hooks and you will do well
This video is wholesome af
HAPPY FATHERS LFG. love your edits. I cannot believe you got skunked on fathers even....Love your family to Justin.
Love the vid. You and Richard Gene have the best content
I sure learn a lot reading your comments thank you
My favorite Googan
Thank u for the content Happy Father's day
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LFG I have fished lake fork my entire life
and a good tip is to not bait your lines until right before dark. Use worms or small bluegill because they stay alive longer you can also cut a shad shape out of a pie pan and put that on the hook the moonlight hits it and attracts catfish plus it doesn’t fall off👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌 lake fork, lake of the pines and bob sandlin are the best lake to do that at
Evidently I'm late... I knew you were gonna have another child, didn't know he was already here. Congratulations to both of you.
Your boys getting big
Happy Father’s Day bud! You are living the American dad dream. Enjoy every minute! Keep up the good work
I'm so glad you enjoyed your Breakfast with Family.
Happy Fathers Day Jason💖
The MM is the Guy to ask!
Enjoy Dinner with LFD and Family. Happy Father's Day LFD💖.
JO JO IN VT 😆💕
I have found that shrimp attract all manner of species, including panfish. They tend to get picked off the hook. My favorite jugging baits are chicken gizzards soaked in minced garlic and hotdog chunks soaked in garlic and strawberry jello. I've hooked 40 - 50 lb catfish on these baits.
Salt of the earth dude right here.
Verry nice my friends
Sucses for you
There ain't nothing like it. I thank God every day for fishing. Stay safe and tight lines.
I like the low profile myself 🤙
Not a lucky guy a blessed guy!!
Ivory soap is what we used to use for bait on lines.
Chicken liver never fails me
Great video. Happy Father’s Day
LFG and Bamabass is all I need on TH-cam hahaha another good one brother
Frozen Skipjack cut in chunks. Bait is greasy and cats love it
Happy Father's Day
smash it for Father’s Day greatness
Since you live so close to the water, get you some perch traps and catch bluegill and sun fish and bate the hooks with that. They stay on the hook much better. Also get you some gold fish from the pet store, they work as well.
Gamukatsu octopus circle hook is the best hook for catfish. I would also attach them to the trot line with a 10lb flouro so its more stealthy, even though catfish usually hunt by smell. And as other people have said I would have left them overnight. Ive always had luck with hot dogs, shrimp, and worms for catfish.
heat of summer, catfish are in the deep oxygenated holes... like a creek entrance that has cut a channel and is still flowing... in the local river we are fishing creek entrances, below islands... spots where the water is disturbed and gets more oxygen
We always have best luck with live bait and circle hooks. If a creek or river is flowing into the lake, set up on current seams. Otherwise we set in areas you would typically find the bait you are using.
so i make what i like to call " nuke ems" . just microwave some shrimpies with a little water and some kind of seasoning ( lawrys, old bay, etc.. ) and they become super rubbery and stay on the hook really well. its gonna make the house smell for a bit, but i highly recommend it! catfish seem to like a little bit of the spice.
I watch you for learning, sorry can’t help. Lol. But enjoyed seeing the family, that Ben, I sure see your eyes in him. Looks like a nice Father’s Day was had. 💙 ~ Texas
What happened to the lake life family channel?
Hey was just curious about the lake life family channel, miss those videos guys
Catfish in June is tough because the big mommas on bed spawning. Here my region that's spawning time. Maybe on the next one. I love ur videos thanks for the outstanding content.
Run the over night. Bait about an hour before dark, and check ever 2 hours after dark. That's what we do here in SC on Santee Cooper
I'd try some small sunperch. Small ones, use them live and bigger ones, cutbait.
Pretty sure you ARE the luckiest man alive 😉
Now that was a great video
Wow! I missed some episodes LFG has 2 kids now. Need to catch up. Lol
Hey I Got something for you DM🖕!!.
What's your belt knife? Morakniv 2000 or Morakniv Kansbol?
Good ole Fashioned Fishing video!! Love it bro. Keep up the amazing content!!!
Good stuff Lfg! You have a beautiful family sir
Hey I Got something for you DM🖕!!.
This time of year I would suggest challower water.
Leave them out over night, I like to use perch, cut up drum and chicken gizzards as bait but shrimp works too
You should try squid. My friend buys it at our local Asia supermarket !!
You guys need to do a Googan Squad hand noodling tournament!!
Zote soap cut in cubes works for trotlines. Turtles and gar don't mess with it.
Hey I Got something for you DM🖕!!.
For during the day set Jugs in the mouth of creeks about 5ft off the bottom. For trot line try setting them on some mud flats in 5-10ft of water. Maybe shallower and let them soak for a night. Cut bait for blues and channels, live bait for flatheads. How we do it here on Missouri lakes
We always let them sit over night down here in south Louisiana fishing mostly rivers and bayous with good moving water.
Need to try hog lungs!!! Great bait, stays on the hook way better than shrimp.
Best piece of advice I have is get some good fresh bait. Shad blue gill white bass crappie,something like that. I set jugs out on my lake on Father’s Day I only had 15 but there was another guy out there had over 100 jugs and I didn’t see one of his bouncing with a fish we were fishing the same spot practically and only difference I can figure was bait. The fish weren’t tearing it up by any means only caught 10 but good enough to eat on.
use some white bass chunks overnight
Love the videos bro
Put them out before sunset and check them the next morning
I use wild hog liver on my lines and it works well
We have more luck with singular jugs. We use two circle hooks on the liter drop shot style with loop knots. We drop them deep though in the channel. Some 60-70 deep, though most 40-50 (depends on the depth of your channel obviously). We drop them on the wind direction side of the channel and let them drift into the other side. We use live bait, shad preferably. On a good day we'll bring home over 100 lbs of blue cat, and routinely catch 20 and 30 lb. blues.
Shrimps mixed red jello powder and garlic powder work wonder
Live blue gills LFG!
Trot lines are illegal in WI, so this is all new to me. A neighbor growing up had a huge rack of lines and hooks for fishing in the Mississippi. So I've seen the gear but zero experience.
Use catalpa worms and set it late for an overnight soak.
No Sig Hunter Games this year?? I figured that’s where you had been!
We use chicken liver and cut bait from fresh blue gill
Loved this! Favorite "Googan" vid for a long time. Haven't gotten out fishing this year enough. Watching this brought me back to Canal Life in Seville Florida. Ran lines with my Grandfather and got around on a golf cart. You've got it going on, get to live the "retired" life but for prime time of raising your kids. Absolutely love it and you deserve it Mr Rackley. Happy Fathers Day a day late
Definately try leaving them overnight or at least longer
Damn LFG, I thought Flair was bad with a cast net. You guys all need practice. Hey, I use one to catch my chickens when they need caught.
Hit me up🖕🖕 Got a prize for you!!
Cut up drum or bluegill. Usually works for me.
Have u tried live craw fish as bait on your line
Catfish bite been slower than usual in my area in East Texas.. dern weather ain’t helping either.
I like me one of those hats.
Reach out for your package ☝️
i jug fish in ohio 1-2 times a week and use chicken liver only for channle and blues then i use cut bait or live creek chubs/sunfish weighted down on the bottom for flats just got a 30 lb blue last week at hoover the lake by me
You will get those kitty cats next time
rackley when i was on PK i used white bread and slayed the cats at the bro in laws house and they couldnt catch any...also side note i caught some on saucy swimmers fron yall(googan) in the shad color
We always let our jugs and trot lines sit over night, but that’s just the way I was taught.
Same here with trot lines, but not jugs.
I have that cut up chicken breast makes good catfish bait.
Worth a try.
Fresh bait, got to get cast net working!
Reach out for your package ☝️
Cut pieces of chicken breast with nothing added to it have been working for me using jugs, trout lines, and suspending baits on Rayburn and Livingston the last few weeks.
Hey I Got something for you DM🖕!!.
LFG runs trot lines in one video, lunkers cuts them in another
Next time you put some just out try putting on some small chunks of unscented ( bar ) soap. It's a trick I learned from several old timers in Mississippi for catching catfish. Only catfish will eat it so you will have no unwanted bi-catch.
Ivory soap is what we used, warmed up butter knife to cut it in chunks. Then a lighter to the hook and it goes right through
@@joegtippett I thought they were pulling my leg until I caught a 55 lb catfish and thought I was going to have my third stroke 😂. Justin just give it a try and see if you have the old timers touch.
Put either fresh bluegill or fresh ad and let it sit overnight or be out there and watch it what's time you have vast people going around trying to pick up catfish on it LOL
LOl, i saw your lines on the lake and thought "who the hell puts out a line in such a busy area". Now i know lmao.
Lake gowers of our lake won't leave shit like that alone.
Hey I Got something for you 🎈💯
Anyone have advice on catfish bait? Chicken livers don't want to stay on the hook. And hotdog jello mix falls off during casting also
Sorry i have no advice on trotlines. My only experience was rescuing a pelican from one on calaveras when i used to live in texas. Happy fathers day lfg
Cats may be spawning, they don't bite when they spawn
I've been waiting to see this love the different styles of fishing you do man awesome fishing content!!
Hey I Got something for you DM🖕!!.
Looking forward to the crappy video! And you're right you are a very lucky man. You're living the life that I'm working towards so keep showing us how its done buddy!
Take 3/4" PVC and cut it about 18" long. Stand then around the inside of your 5 gallon, then put a 1 gallon round icecream bucket in the middle. It takes 30 tubes to line the 5gallon. Then put your leaders in the tubes with hook on the edge of the PVC. Put the rest of your trotline in the middle of the bucket and you shouldn't have any tangles...
Always use circle hooks when catfishing and make sure that your bait is run through lengthwise on the hook or poked through more than once. That will make it harder for the fish to steal the bait without getting itself hooked. Also, be sure that the point of the hook is not buried in the bait and sticks out past the barb. I find that when I rig my bait up like this, I have more success. Another thing that could be happening, is that your bait could be getting stolen by sunfish or whitebass or turtles. This has happened to me a lot, but since rigging my bait better it doesn’t happen as much. It looked like some of your lines were next to shore in shallower water. I would try deeper water with it being so hot and see if that makes a difference. I also want to suggest using a different bait. I’ve used shrimp and night crawlers, livers and shad with success, but the best in my experience has been little sunfish. Nothing beats a fresh food source that comes from the water you are fishing in. Little sunfish work well, but if you can catch shad in your cast net that’ll work really well too.
Hope that helps. Good luck!!
I agree with the Flair’d(lol) side of the point needing to be exposed. It just will not work if it can’t dig in with a gentle pull. But fish will not clean the hook entirely while a turtle will get every last bit of it. Since he has never had any bit of the bait left I’m going towards turtles. And he will have to learn how to make turtle stew or relocate them. Turtle stew is yummmy btw.
@@jalvp1195 I forgot to mention that I’ve had crawfish take my bait as well. I’ve noticed when it’s a turtle, it always seems to be the same turtle. Lol.
I’ve never trot lined or jugged, but I use circle hooks when I pole fish them. They hook themselves but I’ve had them get off while reeling them in. So what I do now is I set the hook once I’m sure it has it. Not as hard as you would for a bass, but hard enough that it digs in. When I do that I never have an issue with the fish coming off. I wonder if the fish are falling off the hook with the trot lines because there is no one to set the hook. They also could sit there unattended for hours and I suspect that increases the odds of the fish coming off the hook. It’s possible LFGs hooks may not be sharp either. I recommend Mustad ultra points or Trokar.
@@Kyle-vo9rp was he after catfish? Because catfish are on the bottom.
Use stronger bouy’s and heavier weights. Try chicken gizzards or hearts soaked in garlic. Works great in my area.
did u tie the string on the baits?
From what I was taught by my grandfather about running jugs I've found that it is best to let them soak up to 24 hours for the best effect, but I've had days when I've caught 60 fish on a trot and I have had days when I've had 6 fish on a trot so its one of those things that with conditions that change so much it's difficult to truly gauge what the catfish will do
Try fresh bluegill cutbait
Bigger floats loose lines lose fish milk jugs one for every 15 ft of trot line create a drawn out W or to structure, with sharp hooks, I lived with on a acidic lake had to replace my hooks every three days with sharpened hooks!!! My average was 14 lbs on my bream lines, 2.5 lbs on my Charlie lines but was a Private lake!!! Baited at sundown and at 10pm, earlier just meant smaller or bait stealers, always baited before a storm or timed them leaving their spawning beds!!!
According to an older friend of mine catfish start spawning mid June! Could be shallower!
Try using thin gauge j-hooks instead of circle hooks.
i’ll tell you what has been working for me live perch on trotlines or cut bait perch or hotdog
Use live perch and leave them over night
