Nice scenery out there. As a kid we use to go to west Tennessee often. Moms sister lived out that way. Some of my best memories of fishing. I hope to get back up that way and visit family and fish again in the future.
I grew up just a few miles from Pickwick Dam. Hoping to come back home at the end of this year for a short visit. Sure do miss some of the best BBQ in the country and the fishing.
Put a smile on my face, thanks!! Gotta love fishin' (not to be confused with catchin'), The beauty of your channel is the reality of the experience. Better luck next time, we know they're bitin' somewhere.
tough bite lately, hit Melton hill Dam And Northshore area on Sat with Live shad, frozen skips, fresh caught bluegill. No action excepts for a dinky blue. Can't wait till it gets cold!
Welcome to West Tennessee the water moccasin and BUG capital of the world🤣🤣🤣. Right below the dam awesome bank fishing and the skipjack will just jump out of the water at you. We love watching your videos
I feel your pain. I drive 80 miles one way to get to my "Catfish capital of Texas" fishing hole( Tawakoni) . So when I go I plan an overnight trip and everything so far has been baby dink fish. I keep going to bigger and bigger baits, bigger rods and bigger hooks like you hoping for a trophy. If you look online there are monsters in that lake. Pray for me. :)
You must be mellowing out. There’s usually a few censored parts when you see that much boat traffic where you’re fishing. 😏 Of course, that all may have happened during the time lapse. The bite has been tough all summer for me. Watching you catch them is one thing that keeps me going back out though. Can’t wait for cooler temps. Thanks
This trip was epic brother!! Nice fat blue, you don’t need a boat... right? I think you should stay a little more and explore more anyway you are already far from home 👍👍
If you havnt watched his video REEL TALK (put out recently)you should, he goes through his current reel lineup.its great and shows the reel he uses.Dave doesnt like levelwind .
I was down at pickwick dam working last week they are reinforcing the dam it’s not leaking or anything so no need to worry it was actually built very well compared to some dam’s I wish I would have taken my poles and wet my lines
Hey Dave, I rent out a camper on buggs island lake. The lake record is 144 pounds. Id be glad to let you use the camper if you wanted to venture out to va. Hell, its probably not even nearly as far as you went to savannah lol
Hello Dave, I just come across your channel. Thank you for your time & the entertainment. If I could recommend something about fishing the rivers around here for Cat’s it would be this.. First I look for very fast moving water especially during the summer when water temperatures are warm because it’s more oxygenated and big fish need more oxygen! In the winter big catfish are more likely to be dormant, then I’ll fish slower water “next” to the deepest holes. Next I locate a point and usually it’s next to a sharp river bend and that’s were you find the fastest deepest water from the bank if not the spillway. Last but not least “Fresh chunks of cut bait” Never frozen. “Caught the same day within a few hours! (baitfish between 1-2lbs ) . Leave the bait whole chilled in the cooler before using. Also I use cut baits no less than the size of your hand and replace/check hourly if not drifting. My last 4 trips during the past few weeks have produced multiple 80, 70, 60, & 50’s. Due to the bait size we hardly catch any less than 20Lbs. I know you’re not into fishing from boats but If you come to Memphis I’ll take you on a fishing trip on the house! We can fish from the bank or my boat. Born and raised here I’ve been fishing the Mississippi river in Memphis ever since I’ve had a memory! I know multiple places that you can drive right up to go fishing and shoot your next video. It’s about 90 miles west of Savannah. (Google... Fishing Guides in Memphis TN). and you’ll see “Fish Memphis Guide Service” Danny 901-849-6352
Dave fishing hasn't been good anywhere lately especially with the water being low. I never have had very good luck 3 days after the Full Moon till 3 days before the New Moon but I'm no "Catfish Dave", love your videoes
You could have kept on driving and gone to Paris. Paris, Tennessee that is, they have a huge catfish for a city monument. It is on not to far from the south end of Kentucky lake that runs right on down through Tennessee. Must be a great catfishing place.
Hey Professor Dave, maybe you need to take that sign home with you and glue it to a Knoxville sign. Thanks to Catfish Dave the center of the catfish world has shifted. TEE HEE I hope you have a great time on your road trip.
You got to know where to fish to catch the catfish in Savannah. Where he was fishing didn't look like a very good spot. Got to find the current seams structure.
You're traveling/fishing style makes me wonder if a truck bed cap with a air mattress would be a good investment, or a truck bed camper if you wanted to be fancy. Ether way ya could probably sleep where ya fished
Hey catfish Dave ,I really enjoyed your shows ,I have a question,me and my friend going on a fishing trip in the Pickwick and Savannah area ,we are black and wondering if safe.we from Iowa
The bite isnt much better up here in southeastern Ohio, had my first skunk of the year on Sunday. No runs or anything was using live bait and a big cut river chub
Here I am watching a catfish Dave video with 2 rods in the water at admiral Farragut. 2 nice runs so far on the clicker but didn’t stay on during hookset.
It doesn't matter if you catch a catfish or. Not .
Catfish Dave you are one helluva fisherman...Keep them videos coming
Thank you very much 🎣🎣🎣

Looks like tough fishing, good luck Dave.
I love your videos Dave. You are a HOOT. And a good Cat-fisherman.
Try below the dam during the spring and early summer. You got to fish the current seams or close to structure.
You were in a good spot Dave. Catfish have been caught there that were 100 pounds.
Wow, that almost wasn’t a fishing video. Way to persevere!
Hey it's nice to just get out on your own sometimes and , you did catch a fish .Great video my friend
I live here its a great place to fish our water fluctuates daily here . Got to know where to go and when

Too cool! Really enjoyed the video. Keep grinding them out. Your time of the year is almost here. 😎 🎣
You rule, Dave
Never heard of the name Catfish capital that's pretty cool. Thanks for showing Dave.
Possibly the food would make that road trip worth repeating.
U go dave u always b king to catfishing
If you ever come back I can take u where to catch them that’s my home town and both spots your at are no go lol
This trip was epic brother!! Nice fat blue, you don’t need a boat... right? I think you should stay a little more and explore more anyway you are already far from home 👍👍
Awesome Mr. Dave!
@catfishdave you should try the catwalk In savannah over near Pickwick
You did what you went after caught a catfish. Enjoyed the video.
I'm going to rent a cabin right near the dam. Thanks for this video! Now I know where to vacation at.
What was that new reel you are using? Love the banjo music!
If you havnt watched his video REEL TALK (put out recently)you should, he goes through his current reel lineup.its great and shows the reel he uses.Dave doesnt like levelwind .
Thank u for the video I hope your trip got better with the catching lol oh yes I need one of those shirts
Dave , I was at that exact same spot in the park Friday 9/20. Next time you are in west Tennessee let me know.
Your grasp of history is remarkable 😀
I was down at pickwick dam working last week they are reinforcing the dam it’s not leaking or anything so no need to worry it was actually built very well compared to some dam’s
I wish I would have taken my poles and wet my lines
Catfisherman and geography professor. Man, you are good. LOL. Yah they stretched Illinois and Indiana to squash Tennessee.
My great uncle, Wallace Worley was from Savannah, Tennessee. He was actually cousins with Darryl Worley.
Who?
My word, what a small world it is indeed, my uncle Harold Worley was from sweet water Alabama, it all makes sense now.
At 11:30 Dave goes for the snacks. I hit pause and I went for some snacks. A man's gotta eat!! Ok. Carry on Dave.
Hey Dave, I rent out a camper on buggs island lake. The lake record is 144 pounds. Id be glad to let you use the camper if you wanted to venture out to va. Hell, its probably not even nearly as far as you went to savannah lol
I live in polk co tn very southeast corner went all the way to the mississippi to catfish never even got a bite

You're a funny guy, thanks!
Alaska and Hawaii ??
I love how optimistic he is about everything
Dave just thought I'd let you know the Hickory Pit burned down awhile back.
Catfish Dave have you ever done a bait video, like how you obtain your bait?
I know what you mean, I traveled 1 hr. South of my house . Spent 12 hrs on the water and didn't get a dang blasted bite.
Woooo...
next time hit perkins bluff behind river heights grocery and fish down from the point of diamond island. we catch monsters there.
The bite isnt much better up here in southeastern Ohio, had my first skunk of the year on Sunday. No runs or anything was using live bait and a big cut river chub
The other side of that bridge is where you should have been you in about 12 feet of water tops at end where you caught that fish
Lol Shania Twain got ya watching... she was lovely
344 miles from the pad aye haha thank you sir. catch more fish .
This man knows everything about cat fishing
They had to squeeze the forty eight states to put in alaska and Hawaii lol 😆
Here I am watching a catfish Dave video with 2 rods in the water at admiral Farragut. 2 nice runs so far on the clicker but didn’t stay on during hookset.
Catfish dave is awesome!
Never know till you throw!
You worked hard for that one.
What kind of rods do you use catfish Dave?
The outpost is good too
Hear good things about those reels
Have you ever considered fishing in eastern ky to see if there's any big flat heads or blue cats
I'm looking for a new surf rod to put a shimano torium 30 on ! Any suggestions Dave ?
Where are you Dave ?!? How can we go fishing without our Catfish Dave ??
