That looks like so much fun.i have poor circulation and at 61 I will stick to my jon boat.great video and really nice kitty's.tight lines brother from boiling springs sc
It's what I grew up doing and I'm going to do it for as long as I can is probably the best choice of words I've heard from you on this channel ever. Awesome
Those are just the best days fishing just walking about trying your luck and finding the target every now and again 😀 love it Spen more of the same please big fella
Coffee most definitely enhances the fishing experience. I enjoyed a nice cup while catching some saugeyes this morning. Always enjoy the content Spencer.
If I ain't watching your videos I'm binge listening to your podcasts while mowing, working, fishing etc. It'd be too cool to book a guide trip with you, gotta start saving or something! Definitely on my lists of things I definitely want to do lol.
Fun video Spencer. I’m waiting for your blooper real. Imagine, a whole video of Spencer falling down muddy banks, falling out of boats, breaking stuff, and knocking over his cooler full of hard won baits. I’m waiting for it.
I love to use slip bobbers. I use them to catch bass and stripers. Large and extra large minnows work great. I love the videos when you use this set up
The channel cats are so much fun. That is what my local lake has the most of as far as catfish go. Summer time rolls around and they get out on the gravel and mud points just like the walleye. So I usually catch a ton of them while walleye fishing. So much fun on a medium light action rod. They absolutely love night crawlers!
Watching these videos are bittersweet for me having lost my mobility ten years ago due to spinal cord injury. Used to be my favorite method of fishing😥 already gave up hunting about to do the same with fishing and life altogether. Really bad day.
@@RiverCertified me to man, me to. Been getting my ass kicked by the roof but hope it will yield soon enough. I need to get the nothingbox out for a few hours and relax. Cheers
It is the time of year for Leppard frogs and creeks like that. Hard to keep them off your hook once you start catching them! We just had a great trip doing it, got tired of catching so many!
Thank you for another very enjoyable video. I get alot of pleasure watching. Also thank you for cleaning up other people's nasty trash. It speaks very well of you.
I learned slip bobbers from a cousin for crappie fishing. Great way to get your bait to the fish. I have also used them in NC mountain streams for trout. Deadly! Good video, Spencer. I recently acquired an 8' light salmon rod that would work well for this technique. Thanks for the lesson. I agree, sometimes you just want to "see what happens". You have some nice channels in your streams.
So nice to see you fishing my favourite way! In England we call it trotting. Also float fishing. It's just that when the river flows it is called " trotting" and we use rods around 12 - 14 foot long. If you ever come across the pond, look me up and I'll show you how we do it here! Nice job Spence, see you over the weekend! 🤓
No M8. Haven't been out for about 7 years since I had 3 strokes and SM a little unsteady on the old pins. You know... But I have been improving slowly and hope to get my rod out in a week or so. I'll keep you posted ! ! ! 🤓
We used to float pound and half carp under one liter bottles around brush piles and bridge pilings on the big crick. When they went under they were just gone. Slammed. Dick deep water at sunset is phenomenal 🤠. Love crick wading. Used to do it for bass in southern Mo. Blast. Those was some good eaters😲. Great vid and keep your powder dry and your pantry stocked young man 💪😎🙏
Grew up chasing channels as well, and still do. Confess to have always targeted the sunfish while wading, though, and usually smallies. Never even caught a cat by accident. Fun time, Spencer…thanks for sharing!
thanks for doing river/bank style fishing. - feel like bank style fishing hard to come by these days on yt only say that because most people will fish just like this, general public lol
Back in the early 80s I used the same float rig on a brush filled catfish lake on Ft. Benning. Was taught by a good friend to grease the line with Vaseline to make it float rather than sink.
I'm going wade fishing in about 15 minutes. Throwing raps for eyes and smallies....might give a look for some fresh chanterelle mushrooms while out there also.
@@RiverCertified kids swimming in a few of my holes but managed a few eater eyes, handful of smallies, one snot rocket, a 12/13 pound channel so ugly I don't think his mom even loves and two baby largemouth that were actually a surprise since they aren't supposed to be in this river. All on #5 shallow shad raps.
Is that spot you at the start of the video in DSM city limits? That storm sewer that is exposed in the river there is in serious need of repair, and some rip rap apparently.
Im 59 today and still wading and float fishing. Never gets old. Great Video as always. Something about that float going under love it
I turned 50 last month and wade fishing is still my favorite thing to do.
And that's just one of the reason's you're a legend Scott
Happy birthday!
@@bluesdad54 Thank you
@@RiverCertifieddo you have a video of how you set this bobber up ? I can’t find one anywhere and debating on to get it or not .
I have no idea why I watch these videos but its oddly satisfying especially when you cook and eat the fish lol
Haha that's like the best compliment ever
That looks like so much fun.i have poor circulation and at 61 I will stick to my jon boat.great video and really nice kitty's.tight lines brother from boiling springs sc
Honestly I'm learning a lot from watching your videos so thank you and keep it up man! Bobbers Down 🎣
Glad to hear it man. Bobbers down. I love that haha
Hammered that thumbnail so fast! Thanks for what you do but I appreciate you bringing us along
You bet. I'm glad ya enjoy the videos man!

I think I might have to go wading for some smallmouth or walleyes soon. I'm glad ya enjoyed it man!
Have fished the same stretch of river he's wading. Plenty of nice smallies upstream!
I wait all year for the wade fishing bobber videos
Good to know. I'll have to do some more because its a whole lot of fun!
Coffee most definitely enhances the fishing experience. I enjoyed a nice cup while catching some saugeyes this morning. Always enjoy the content Spencer.
Right on man. Glad you're on the fish!
Cool video I Don't walk into the water much but it's nice to see somebody fishing for cats That aren't in a boat
Glad ya enjoyed it Dennis. I like to do it all. Bank fishing, wading, kayaking, and boating. Whatever helps me catch a few.
That was refreshing for me because it looked so refreshing for you .
Not too many people realize that catfish do run up stream yeah you're right glad you put a video out today
It's crazy how much the move according to the papers I've read. Thank you for watching!
If I ain't watching your videos I'm binge listening to your podcasts while mowing, working, fishing etc.

Now that is a great idea haha
Old school tactics !! Love It !! Tight Lines Captain Spencer 🐟🐟🐟
Another fine River Certified Production
Thank you as always sir. Hope you keep enjoying them!

Always enjoy the videos. Probably my favorite fishing channel. Thanks as always for sharing brother!! 👍🏾👊🏾✊🏾🙂💯
I appreciate that man. I'm gonna keep doing my best!
First person I seen using baitcaster to catch catfish awesome 👍👍👍
good fishing rod assembly and the right position for the float 👍

Sounds like a heck of a good time to me. Glad you're catchin' em man!
Good explanation of your rig and nice demonstration. And nice point of view filming. 👍
Thank you sir. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Love seeing the little bit of rigging info in the video. Thanks for another solid video man. 🎣

Coffee is a prerequisite for every activity, and especially true for fishing. Forty years ago it would have been beer.
Love the variety. One of my favourite vids of yours yet. Thanks man!
Love the video, just walking the creeks and fishing deep spots. This how I was brought up and brought up my oldest son.
Fun video! I love fishing rivers.
God bless all here.
Looked a stunning day there, alot vetter than what ive had up on the roof. Pleasure as always Sir
I'm sure it's a lot hotter on the roof. Hope you find some time to get on the water.

Took my lunch break just to watch your video
Thanks Spencer

Love the small creek bobber fishing it looks like a Blast.
Lol couldn't help but notice the ole Lews Speed spool. Love them.
Bought it used off of my buddy Ryan's kid and absolutely love it!
@@RiverCertified right on! Get more of them! Walmart used to sell them for 86.99 or something
Drifting bobbers is one of my fav technics. Those we some good channel rats man
Water is suuuper low on the river out here in tulsa but this video gives me hope. Might have to give it a whirl this weekend. Keep it up brother.
that's fun fishing! I been using a peg float with 1/8 oz worm sinker and circle hook. usually dont have them drop it ever . little resistance
Quality viewing! Lightning was nice!
Hey Spencer that's a great way to spend a day .,Great fishing. Great video.

Very informative. I surely enjoy your videos. Learning a lot.

I’m planning on night fishing after a monster storm system. Do you see a downfall in fishing after a storm
Adam Sandler goes bobber fishing Fairwinds great video
I wish we had cats here lol awesome video man thanks again
I hope you get the chance to go on a trip for them someday. Thanks for always watching man!
@@RiverCertified One day for sure and not a problem at all man
If the rain will ever stop in Kentucky lol I’m gonna go wading after watching this!!!
bobber fishing for catfish with a baitcaster reel is crazy to me
thanks for doing river/bank style fishing. - feel like bank style fishing hard to come by these days on yt
only say that because most people will fish just like this, general public lol
Love wade fishing. You should try with cane poles
You actually read my mind haha
@@RiverCertified I used to do it a bunch when I was a teenager
Back in the early 80s I used the same float rig on a brush filled catfish lake on Ft. Benning. Was taught by a good friend to grease the line with Vaseline to make it float rather than sink.
Bobber! So exciting!
Thank you for the catfish knowledge it's been helpful
What an awesome and fun way to fish. Keep up the great content bud
Glad you enjoyed it. It's one of my favorite ways to fish.
What’s a good rod for this method. I’d like to use it for the California aqueduct. Circle hook or j hook this method
I'm going wade fishing in about 15 minutes. Throwing raps for eyes and smallies....might give a look for some fresh chanterelle mushrooms while out there also.
Good luck man!

My favorite. Honestly.
You should think about a "hat cam" which would allow us to see much better i.e. more than your sleeves, reel, and pole. Just a thought.
Loved the video and have a great day of fishing
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I have been wanting to try a float from a floating dock. Gf had a Monster that slimed up the line & got away? Turtle?
What rod/reel combo is that you’re using?
What is that Rod and Reel set up ? The links you provided goes to different rod and reels.
The reel is a Lews Speed Spool and the rod is one I built a long time ago.
@@RiverCertified Hey what some low profile reels that have bait clickers ?
@@bargainhunter2404 Okuma makes a few different models. Check them out.
Love to know which tackle back pack you are using.
It's a grundens. I think it's linked in the description.
@@RiverCertified Thanks, I looked in the description and didn't see it, maybe I overlooked it.
Nice dude!
Thanks!
You were absolutely correct about Frank's red-hot! Used it on halibut nuggets and just blew my nips off.
Dude that has to be amazing!
Nice video man love your videos keep up the good work and go catch some more big ones
Thanks man! I'm definitely gonna do my best!
@@RiverCertified your welcome man and I know you will
Love these bobber videos!
Good deal. I'm definitely gonna do some more!
What name brand float are you using? And where can I purchase them?
Nice, looks like a blast
What bag are you using??
Where do you get that rod at and what kind is it
Enjoyed the video Man. Nice fish
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Every video I’ve seen so far are great Man. Congratulations on your success
Is that spot you at the start of the video in DSM city limits? That storm sewer that is exposed in the river there is in serious need of repair, and some rip rap apparently.
What rod is that you are using ? Also is it a one piece ?
Picking up is good. Interesting video. Thanks.
Thats my type of fish'n ! Love to wade rivers.
Hell yeah man! I'd do it more if I wasn't so wrapped up in catching flatheads.
Do you bobber stop shop till you drop shot, shop drop?
Narm sain ma'as?
Looks alot like upper French Creek in W PA.
What were you using for bait if your don’t mind sharing ?
Bluegill in this video
Once again river certified> 618 fishing.
I'm still blushing hahaha
All day
great video, not very many doing wade fishing videos. nice river cats, too bad you weren't cook and eat. stay safe.
Thanks Brian. Hopefully I can find some time to do a wading video with a little shore lunch before it gets too cold.
Man, I wanna try catfish, it looks wicked good
Love the bobber floating...great content and something new, love it
What kind of rod are you using?
Slappy gets folded nice one to end the day with

I still highly recommend going fishing haha
Awesome video. Do you do waded guild trips?
Love the channel buddy!
Glad ya do man!
It's been fun watching, too.
