Catching Catfish in Strange Places

In this catfish fishing video I am fishing for catfish from a boat trolling cut bait in an attempt to find biting catfish in a lake. The feeding catfish are not normally in deep water when it is hot because the thermocline prevents them from living there. On this trip I was finding catfish in deep water around the old river channel. The catfish bait was cut bait, which is one of the best catfish baits to use.

[@raygissendanner1476]

Great information and video

[@gregburgess6251]

Hello 👋 from Louisiana hello Dieter good to see you 😊

[@DieterMelhorn]

Thanks for coming

[@200IQRez]

How much was your trolling motor

[@DogmanMo]

I've been having a tough time catching them on the chowan river . I've been trying everything live bait ,cut, chicken , nightcrawler ,crickets .Santee Cooper rigs , bottom rigs suspended rigs just skunking

[@haroldsfishingadventures754]

Try fresh cut fish heads, stuff some Powerbait Cut Shad dough in the mouth. Get some King Oscar Mackerel in olive oil, drsin the oil and soak the body pieces in the mackerel oil. Use the mackerel for Mack salad. Hook from under the jaw, not thru the eyes. Good luck

[@DogmanMo]

@haroldsfishingadventures754 I've been tryna to get shad kinda hard from the bank here been using mostly blue gill live and cut bait

[@WesleyWhite-vo1rh]

Do a video on baiting eater catfish

[@davidm6256]

Are you fishing on a river or a lake?

[@PatJones-f1s]

What trolling motor ya using? Do you have GPS to control your troll/drift? Or just foot control?

[@DieterMelhorn]

MinnKota and it does have GPS tracking on it, and I use a remote control that clips to my belt. Thats easier than the foot control with the cable.

[@PatJones-f1s]

@@DieterMelhorn I have an Advanced GPS kit coming for my Minn Kota in the next few days. If you have or are interested in creating a drift/drag video using the trolling motor features and specific rigging I’d definitely watch it 😉

[@waynevaughan2781]

Auto pilot is almost an absolute must if you’re going to consistently drag/troll for catfish. Foot control will work, but it would be frustrating.

[@terryhancock]

He don't use open face that much

[@DieterMelhorn]

SOMETIMES!!! You must watch the channel a lot....THANK YOU!!

[@terryhancock]

Why is he using open face

[@BoxVanMan]

Why not?

[@terryhancock]

@@BoxVanMan because he uses level wind

[@HomesickforAlaska]

He mixes it up pretty often.
He has talked about it in other video's.

[@terryhancock]

@@HomesickforAlaska I didn't know that

[@jimmylowe1233]

That's what the sponsors sent thats what you use.

[@kellyash45]

Why don't you like channel cats?

[@DieterMelhorn]

Love them, I just wish we had bigger ones here.
