      Absolutely love them things. Going to have to make a trip here soon and just actually target them, the blues are just a little easier for me. Thank you.

      He ended up getting him a nice one that day. But I tell you what Wednesday he took over the show, no matter what they were on his side of the boat. Ha ha thanks Rod

      Thanks Calvin, unfortunately, I botched things up out on the river with my camera and forgot to save two really nice fish. It’s a lot of fun but it’s also a lot of work invested into it with the wind and depending on what kind of bottom I’m drifting in.

      I’d say they’re slowing down a little bit, the bigger ones anyway. This was a week ago but I was out Wednesday and still managed a few.

  • @timbaker3396
    @timbaker3396 ปีที่แล้ว

    Appreciate the videos and enjoy watching the rods bend. I've spent a lot of time watching videos on how to properly use your electronics. Can you show what you are seeing in one of your next videos when you say you see fish down below?

    • @riverlunacy
      @riverlunacy  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That’s a great idea. I’ll try to make that happen, I actually have a couple videos already coming, but it will be the third or fourth one out. I’m not the best with the electronics, but I can tell on the screen when the fish are coming up and sniffing at the bait, you’ll see a line come from the bottom right up, it’s like a nervous looking screen

    • @timbaker3396
      @timbaker3396 ปีที่แล้ว

      @RIVER LUNACY I've learned quite a bit on how the colors of the marks on the screen show up can sometimes tell you if it's a scaled fish like gar or like the skin cats have. My issue is how to read them if they are lying real close to the bottom or buried in the mud.

      Yeah, it got rough yesterday with the wind and barges, I had to troll downstream to get a few more fish. It got so aggravating I decided I would just drag back up to my starting point where I ended up packing up and all of a sudden the darn planner board started ripping across the water as I was spot locked ha ha.fish on. Thanks 🙏

      If I’m drifting, I run two cameras one on each side. I use looping mode on 20 minutes and super view. Thanks for watching and keep your eyes out. Been fishing like crazy but it’s not been so hot with our river being flooded but they are coming.

      @rebeccaandjosh yes, that’s an awesome fish. We still have a few monsters hiding. welcome aboard hope you enjoy the videos, like I said, keep an eye open make sure you hit the bell, so you’re notified, usually one through two videos a week, but with the circumstances it’s been a hard deal right now. Guess we’ll find out what happened Saturday night

      @@riverlunacy I typed up one reply. I don’t know what happened… anyways thank you! It was definitely a nice fish! Also I’ll be tuning in from time to time! But I’m a content creator, myself and we actually fish daily, weather permitting! We do a little bit of everything, but primarily started out, kayaking the rivers, catching any and everything! But I enjoy fishing for anything! Later on last season, we ended up picking up flathead fishing! My buddy, took us out, drifting for blues. Rebecca caught one he caught one, and we sat up in some creek mouths, and that’s when I landed my PB flathead. We haven’t had the proper set up to record at night yet, so I don’t really have any footage from our Catfishing adventures on my TH-cam! Plus my Facebook really took off. I’ve become a digital creator there and became monetized and that’s where I’ve been more focused on putting my content.. If you have a Facebook you can look me up, Josh Wheeler you’ll see the flathead in my profile or I think you can search Josh.Wheeler.12 & it should pop up! Good luck Saturday! What area do you fish? As of right now, my buddy introduced me to the Marietta area for drifting! But I’m sure it’ll expand soon as I learn more!

      This video has some cast netting. I haven’t been after the moon eyes in a while just because I’m trying to really get on the water quickly and the last time I went for them was very poor. Skipjack are far and in between. I usually get a load of those early spring and late fall so I don’t have to try and mess with them through the summer. appreciate you watching. Hope you enjoyed the video.

    • @riverlunacy
      @riverlunacy  ปีที่แล้ว

      They do not freeze very well, but they will still work. I usually just use wax worms. I don’t fish for them very often just because they are so time-consuming and hit or miss.

    • @riverlunacy
      @riverlunacy  ปีที่แล้ว

      I’d say you’re more than safe with a four and a week with zero current. The only thing that would really push your line up would be the wind pushing you.

      You might even want to try a 3 ounce. It’s just really gonna matter how much wind you’re gonna have that’s gonna be the only thing that will lift your line. Really just wanna make sure you’re straight up and down. Always figure the least weight you have the better that Fish is going to take off with the bait

    • @riverlunacy
      @riverlunacy  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I’ll try to throw that in sometime when I am actually catching them on the main strip itself. It’s hard to record out there doing that and deal with the trolling motor along with current. I usually go up in a creek and throw for shad. I lost my favorite nut yesterday out on the main Ohio river. Throwing for shad. Right in a tree ha ha
