Hey Chris,Can I bump in my Lake using my trolling motor and following the creek channel with the trolling motor on around.2 on speed and bump like that?I wanna do this but don’t have rivers like that here.
You can but in my opinion you would be more productive dragging. The reason this is so productive is you are presenting your bait in a natural presentation in current.
I've been bumping on the Missouri for years. We called it walking tho. Mainly on composition transitions like he said. Rock to sand on channel ledges is the best. I'd like to say I don't do much anymore cus I'm old but it's really just lazy lol.
Normally around where I’m from the dams are the only place to get the current needed to bump but you can do it anywhere as long as you have the current. When we get high water around the upper Ohio it’s a good chance to bump as well.
Maybe this is why I've never heard of bumping or drifting because the Ohio is 30 min from me and I don't have a big enough boat for that river but I have 3 other rivers near me but no dams on them on is about 50 urds wide then the other one is a bit bigger at 150 yrds wide the the Wabash river separating Illinois from indiana is a little bigger then that but there are no dams and I'm 10 min from all 3 rivers so I dont fish the Ohio so i was wondering if you need the current or if you could just bump any part of a river id like to try it but know nothing of it I just throw a line out and pray to have a good day never learned of transition spots or bottom type all good info just dont have a sonar things I am looking into getting right now I'm do it out of my yak or a friends boat
Definitely try it there are a lot of guys that fish the Missouri River like this and it’s kinda like what your talking about. Definitely need some current but just look for places on the bank and outside bends.
Thanks so much for this kind of info Chris👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻, Bumping is something I want to try so bad!! I tried it from the bank like you did a few vids back but didn’t fair to well🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
I was just up that way this past weekend!! Done a catfish crazy show with Ryan Casey. There are a lot of good fish in that area and a great place to fish. Thanks for watching
@@slungercatoutdoors That is Awesome, hope you enjoyed yourself, he knows what he is doing for sure! He makes a lot of people's dreams a reality in the catfish world.👍🤗
I normally use the trolling motor to slow my speed down to like half the current speed and then just adjust my sinker size to be able to walk bait down the river.
@@slungercatoutdoors so you just slow drift down river while letting line out or you just have your bait on the bottom close to the boat and basically just let it bounce on the bottom as you go
I agree, bumping is fun.
Looking to learn a little more about bumping this year. Good info 💯

New subscriber here. Hit them hard man!
Thanks for subscribing I appreciate the support!!
So when bumping do you prefer J hooks or Circle hooks?
I'm a circle hook guy personally

Your very welcome and thanks for watching
Hey Chris what's your input on flatheads and them not liking light
If your fishing at night and in shallow water I try to use as little light as possible!!
Thanks for recommending that Revo reel. I love mine for bumping. It's worth the extra money.
They are definitely a good reels!! I’ve used mine now for a few years and love them!! Thanks for watching
What brand/ make , # test , 3 way swivel do you recommend for bumping ?

Great video as always. I've heard people bump while at anchor. What are your thoughts on that? Thank you!
Cool video never seen this done do you only bump dams or can you bump and fast current water and do you go up river or down river

I do alot of fishing in lakes in Kentucky, would this bumping technique work in lakes or is it mainly rivers, really enjoy watching your videos
It’s mainly a river or current deal. But if you have current in your lake than yes you could.
So what kind of boat does your dad have that your using?
That’s a tracker targa deep v 18 foot
Please don't tell me the Shovelheads are still on the beds. I fish the Muskingum and that's all we have besides a few little Channels.
Yeah a little around heat won’t be long though
Thanks so much for this kind of info Chris👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻, Bumping is something I want to try so bad!! I tried it from the bank like you did a few vids back but didn’t fair to well🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Your very welcome! Definitely try it it can be a blast!! Thanks for watching
Great video buddy, I'm still in the process of learning to bump the Mississippi river near Alton IL.👍👍👍👍God Bless!!!
I was just up that way this past weekend!! Done a catfish crazy show with Ryan Casey. There are a lot of good fish in that area and a great place to fish. Thanks for watching

Catfishing in a boat in my favorite spot for cat fish oh boy Someday I will be out there
Love the positive vibes!! Keep it up and thanks for watching
I caught a 47 or 48 inch musky today Chris
Wow those are nice ones congratulations
How fast would you recommend letting your boat slide down river
It honestly depends on the day and current speed but a good place to start is half the current speed.
@@slungercatoutdoors would this change at all if you were specifically bumping for channel cats?
No it would be the same
Some nice little blue cats there. I have seen a decent amount of videos lately bumping for catfish. I might have to give this a try sometime.
It’s definitely worth a try! So much fun and very productive at times
Chris, do you anchor or use your spot lock , then just let your bait bounce down the river or what?
I normally use the trolling motor to slow my speed down to like half the current speed and then just adjust my sinker size to be able to walk bait down the river.
@@slungercatoutdoors so you just slow drift down river while letting line out or you just have your bait on the bottom close to the boat and basically just let it bounce on the bottom as you go
Awesome videos you be putting out I have a question what rod rack are you using for the back of your boat
That’s a home made rack out of 3 inch c channel aluminum and some aluminum t post on the sides.
Excellent video. Where do you lauch at to get to the down river side of the dam?
I normally laugh out of Wheelersburg boat ramp it’s just down river from the dam. Good ramp as well. Thanks for watching
When you getting your new boat
Should be any day now!!!😁
Bump them fish I wanna try it. I love holding a rod and fish trying to rip it out of your hands
Lol it’s so much fun!! I wish we had a fishery like the Mississippi to be able to do this more but it’s fun nonetheless. Thanks for watching
