For sure brother! 6-8 lbs line. Leader was about 10-12 inches and the other rod was about 18 inches. Circle hook was 1/O light wire. Good luck with the kiddos.
@pokedad.fishes right! So I finally got my limit last Saturday! Was a supper fun day! But man, there were a lot of fishermen there. And it was awesome to meet you there! Might be there this Monday if I can swing a day off from work. Lol
You did really well. Is there a certain lake there that is specific for catfishing? You mentioned mealworms, are those pretty small and how did y ou keep them on the hooks? Did you use very small hooks?
Thank you brother. They do have a Catfish Lake that have the big catfish, but they are catch and release only. They do have smaller ones in there that you can use towards your limit. They are pretty small but I put two of them on there along with the marshmallow and they stay on there pretty well.
@@pokedad.fishes Have you tried catfishing during the winter? I know the trout is more popular during this time of year but I like catfish better but I know they dont also stock catfish this time of year, if you've fished them in the past during the cold months and know of which lakes to target please share
Cool video bro I've watched a lot of TH-cam guys fish santa ana river lakes and they all have their own style. If this your first video you seem to be well on your way to having a great channel good luck keep them coming bro.
Thank you brother! Yeah this is the same rod and reels I use during trout season. That's all you really need for here. Plus it makes it more fun when you catch some of the bigger sized ones.
I have one rod with 6 lbs and another with 8lbs test with a carolina keeper. I've been using mealworms and marshmallows, which you can buy at the bait shop at the lake. Shrimp and mackerel work okay too.
I'm not sure about the evenings. I'd imagine they're in the shallows, so don't need to cast far. If I were to fish at night I would not use a weight and just use mackerel or shrimp. I've been using 1/O light wire circle hooks for these setups.
Thank you brother! Yeah this was definitely a rare day of catching this many. For sure, thanks for the feedback. I’ll definitely include baiting techniques used in future videos.
Great video, thank you. I’m planning to go soon. For sure I’m going to support your channel. Sorry to complain but my hearing is off and a lot of what you were saying was difficult to hear over the music
Thank you brother! No you are perfectly fine. It was my fault during editing. I didn’t check my audio levels. I learned from my mistakes good luck when you go out there. Let me know if you have any questions. Appreciate the support brother!
Nicely done man! I’m curious, what kind of rigs were you using? Carolina rigs? And how did you put the marshmallow and mealworms onto the hooks? Thanks!
Thank you brother. Yup light tackle, Carolina rigs, and mealwors (or two) first and then a marshmallow (scented if possible). My other video I give a small breakdown of the setup. th-cam.com/video/-fExhwEgS2U/w-d-xo.html
Awesome video Bro! Already subscribed. I did want to ask what kind of hook you use and what size to put on the marshmallow and meal worms? Also can you make as video showing how you specifically put on the meal worms and marshmallows together?
Thanks brother! I've been using 1/O light wire circle hooks. For sure brother! The next time I'm out, probably this Friday, I'll include how I rig up the mealworms and marshmallows.
Dang this makes me upset. I never catch anything!!!!!!! I guess fish don't like black people LOL. There was a Hispanic guy that gave me EXACTLY what he was using, we walked about 30 feet away... NOTHING!!!!!!!! We rented a boat... NOTHING!!!! and to answer pre judgment, we were NOT the typical loud ruined the day family.
Lol did you just call the Emperial Catfish that SARL stocks racist? lol! I've been in the same boat at times. Fishing same setup as people next to me catching fish and NADA.
I use #1/0 light wire circle hooks and about 1/4-1/2 ounce weights. They weren't that far from the shore so I didn't need to toss the bait too far. Good luck out there.
Can yu detail your set-up? line weight, leader length, circlehook size? Taking my kids next weekend and need some fishing success. Thanks!
For sure brother! 6-8 lbs line. Leader was about 10-12 inches and the other rod was about 18 inches. Circle hook was 1/O light wire. Good luck with the kiddos.
What size are your rods I see they are about 8ft . I never fished that lake...
Nice video! Supporting your channel 🎣
Ayeee! Thank you brother! Appreciate the support! 🤙🏼
What bait can I use to get tilapia any advise please?
Awesome video bro, how far out were you casting?
What do you use for bait
So it’s just mealworm and marshmallows on a circle hook ? What size hook ?
Sorry for the late response. I typically use a 1/0 light wire circle hook.
very good captures my friend congratulations here writing one more to your list greetings and blessings
I believe I met you there at Chris cornor a few weeks ago. Lol. It was a Monday. Awesome to see the vids🤙🤙
Heyyyy David! Thanks brother! It was nice meeting you out there. Nothing like not having to deal with the crowds and fishing on a Monday.
@pokedad.fishes right! So I finally got my limit last Saturday! Was a supper fun day! But man, there were a lot of fishermen there. And it was awesome to meet you there! Might be there this Monday if I can swing a day off from work. Lol
NO CATCH AND RELEASE AT SANTA ANA RIVER LAKES >:(
Nice video, what kind of bait were you using ?
Thank you brother! Was using marshmallow and mealworms all day.

Thank you so much for the kind words. Very much appreciated 🤙🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Good video bro. Is the rod your using a light trout rod ?
Thank you brother! Yeah this is the same rod and reels I use during trout season. That's all you really need for here. Plus it makes it more fun when you catch some of the bigger sized ones.
Where is this place, could you please name the location I would like to go fishing with my family!
This is at Santa Ana River Lakes in the city of Anaheim.
About 30 seconds on last bite on rod...
what line did you use for your main and your leader, and do you have any recommendations for bait there?
I have one rod with 6 lbs and another with 8lbs test with a carolina keeper. I've been using mealworms and marshmallows, which you can buy at the bait shop at the lake. Shrimp and mackerel work okay too.
@@pokedad.fishes what about leader length during the evening, where to cast, and hook size?
I'm not sure about the evenings. I'd imagine they're in the shallows, so don't need to cast far. If I were to fish at night I would not use a weight and just use mackerel or shrimp. I've been using 1/O light wire circle hooks for these setups.
@@pokedad.fishes ok thank you
@@pokedad.fishes do you have a recommended leader length for fishing in the morning?
Really enjoyed your video. Very seldom I have a day like this outing. On future videos, I would like to see how you bait the hook. Thanks.
Thank you brother! Yeah this was definitely a rare day of catching this many. For sure, thanks for the feedback. I’ll definitely include baiting techniques used in future videos.

I like fishing the small lake (Chris’ Pond)
Nicely done man! I’m curious, what kind of rigs were you using? Carolina rigs? And how did you put the marshmallow and mealworms onto the hooks? Thanks!

Good job men nice fishing 🎣

@@pokedad.fishes it's funny but irritating. But always fun
yo where do you get your delicious worms?
They sell them at the tackle shop at the lake
What hook do you use and what weights
I use #1/0 light wire circle hooks and about 1/4-1/2 ounce weights. They weren't that far from the shore so I didn't need to toss the bait too far. Good luck out there.
@@pokedad.fishes thanks
