When you have trouble with short striking small (bait) fish, you can add a small trailer hook or 'stinger' to the main hook. For me it increases my hook-up ratio on the short strikers by at least 100%.
As always good video with great information about bait. I use primarily blue gill and only catch smaller ones. Need to try the white bass out and see if it helps me out. Ty for another helpful video
I do the same for my bait I fish only with live. good to see someone else catch their own bait as well. I Fish Puget Sound saltwater for lingcod. They kind of look like catfish but they have huge teeth. The season is May 1st to June 15th just got over, my biggest around 65 pounds. Looks like you get some about the same or bigger? Great videos Dave
Thanks for sharing the info Dave i fish the Cumberland River here in Nashville man we use Bluegill primarily now i know why we aint catching any fish over 20lbs i swear its the bait 😁
@@wakingforbacon6439 what’s your bait presentation for the bluegill? I don’t hook up nearly as much with bluegill as I do skipjack. Looking for some pointers to even the playing field since I can 100% always catch them for bait unlike the skips at times.
Dave ? 😮 What happened to Demetrius? Are you tryin to take over his channel ? 😂😅😂 Go get'em Dave ! BTW... Don't know if anyone mentioned it but That WAS A BETTER FISH !
Dave you ever think that maybe it's so dang hot b/c of them there overalls you're always wearin'? You know they make nylon pants that aren't shorts but keep you much cooler and still offer sun protection, if you're into that sort of thing.
I'm glad you have not turned off y6 çommits like your friend has he doesn't like the comments I say if the heat is to much for you get out of the kitchen
My camera dont like heat either. I cant film after 8am down here. Oh Dave,,,,,every now and then you gotta empty the boat out and wash it. This is a good time to do it to. Empty it out,wash it good and let it drain. Leave it parked in the sun with the latches open and it will be fully dry in a few hours. You would be amazed how much weight an old dirty boat can lose after a good cleaning.
Oh I see you throwing them back. Do you ever take any home???? I get hungry for catfish. Every time I see one of your videos just kills me to watch you throw them back safe trails.
Let me help. The waters he's in are not the type of waters you wanna eat the fish out of. There's been things spilled and whatnot all in his area. Now if you like 3rd nipples on your kids go ahead 😅😅
I used to live in Knoxville and I always went up the French Broad River to where the Little Pigeon River empties into it just outside Sevierville. That is where we went for flatheads that were good to eat. We always threw anything over 10 pounds back because the smaller ones were better. I never wanted fish much but that was where we went when we wanted catfish. Cut the filets up bite-size and deep-fried in my secret recipe…best tasting 'Popcorn Catfish' you ever had!
@@chucklangshaw6485 It's up above the forks of the river where the Tennessee begins. Just a bit east of Knoxville. The fishing spot is in Sevier County.
He fished everyday. I like both their channels. Is there really any need for a comment like this? Showing what kind of a special pos you are rather than anyone else. At least people will know. Or not they won’t. Just another keyboard warrior.
Good one Demetrius catfish are cool Dave lol keep one keeping on. Praying for everyone
Just another good fishing trip with catfish Dave keep them coming out

Been catching skipjack on trout magnets on the fall. Been a blast.
As always good video with great information about bait. I use primarily blue gill and only catch smaller ones. Need to try the white bass out and see if it helps me out. Ty for another helpful video
Here's a thought, Dave. Use those bluegill as cut bait. There's no rule that says have to use bluegill as live bait.
Hey Dave you should try a sabiki rig with a few split shot to get the bait when they are keyed in on the smell fry
I was thinking the same thing
Hey Dave, i know you don't usually answer comments but i will tak a chance and ask what trolling motor battery do you use. Preciate you.
Out here in the west I do better on cut bluegill than live for flatheads. PN is 30 lbs at 11 am from the shore
We need a little skip jack net! Carry on
Close to the bank been catching a lot of Chanel cat's small shad north Georgia Carter's lake best before daylight

Catfish are cool 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
What brand of Rod are you using now Catfish Dave
Show up late and leave early 🤷....the Catfish Dave way 😂👍
What kind/make outriggers you like using??
Thanks for sharing the info Dave i fish the Cumberland River here in Nashville man we use Bluegill primarily now i know why we aint catching any fish over 20lbs i swear its the bait 😁
Shutes branch has been good for me at night. Caught several blues the past month over 20 lb on cut skipjack.
I catch plenty of big catfish on bluegill. Anything that’s a natural bait for catfish they gonna eat. And bluegill is everywhere in America.

So are you weighting down the fly. Or is it just the flat and a bobber
"OH SHOOT!" This is one fine video! Carry on
What is that yellow float called
Where did you get those rods??
Dave ? 😮 What happened to Demetrius? Are you tryin to take over his channel ? 😂😅😂
Go get'em Dave !
BTW... Don't know if anyone mentioned it but
That WAS A BETTER FISH !
How ya know that isn’t Demetrius?
Hello Dave
What net do you have?
Haven't came this early since my wife was walking around in her g-string the other day
My wife looks naked when wearing a g string. Love them rolls 😋
ME TOO !
G strings are the solution to world peace
She got me riled up too
@@IEchuckie i know right!!!
Careful banging on those hooks to get them out of their mouth...Might flair up your carpel tunnel 🤣
Dave you ever think that maybe it's so dang hot b/c of them there overalls you're always wearin'? You know they make nylon pants that aren't shorts but keep you much cooler and still offer sun protection, if you're into that sort of thing.
Naw man that's His style good that old school Rocky Top Swag 😁
HEY! Don't knock the bibs. My niece asked me one time if my overalls was the only outfit I owned. I told her no,I have 3 more just like them at home.😊
What happened to using chicken? They stop hitting chicken in the heat of summer?
Do you ever use crappie for bait ?
I've used crappie for lunch
I've seen a couple of his earlier vids when he used crappie.
Catfish Dave? What happened to Demetrius?
I'm glad you have not turned off y6 çommits like your friend has he doesn't like the comments I say if the heat is to much for you get out of the kitchen
59 th. Woohoo
And just like being first not a single person gives a shit

You need your lady friend there, then you would catch the big catfish.
Great video. What size is ya boat I like the way ya got room to move around . I’m looking for a bigger one than my 14 footer 👍👍👍👍 keep on catching
Dave, when are you going to take a trip to Minnesota and show us how it's done?
Looked like a Red Brest not Blue Gill😂
Who in the hell
Don’t want a bluegill for catfish bait ? 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Oh I see you throwing them back. Do you ever take any home????

Signs posted at the launch ramps. Do not eat fish

Is that up around Watts bar

I like to eat white bass. I'd hate to share it with the catfish!
I recently started watching your videos and was wondering, do you ever keep any catfish to eat?
try sharpening your hook and you will quit having fish come off.

Hey just a hint I believe that it's called bass assassin panfish swim minnow it's the smallest swim bait I've ever used.
Pinch the tail off dead
The kayak fisherman is putting you to shame!!! He catches lots of huge catfish and stripers
