Great video again. Looking forward to the next one. I have a 50 minute drive to work and I listen all the way to work and when I get home I will watch it on TV. Can’t wait to try it on the water. I fish shallow but never gram shallow and will start now along w the Dragon Master , Coia has helped me a lot. Great guy w Dragon Master Products here in Texas
Well Done Micka. It seems that bait, threadfins etc. are certainly shallow this time of year, but the big ones don't "chase". It seems any time of year you see shallow bait (threadfins, etc.) you can run up there and catch smaller fast/active/small cats. If the white & yellow bass, small crappie, etc. are just a little deeper-not main channel but deeper flats- making runs up to shallow to feed, the 20+ cats are where the bigger fish are staged up to make their shallow runs. I am always looking on my graph for not small bait but larger stuff. It is fun to see your planer boards rocket in shallow water. Thanks for the bigger bobber stop source and your superior content.
Any day is a good day fishing. But if you find fish that keeps you busy, it is a lot of fun. If you catch a big fish, it is a great day. Be blessed. My brother.
Great video man. I watch Spencer Bauer on a video catch some all blue cats in real shallow water one night late Summer by Kansas City not too far from my house. Not very many people fish the shallows you're right makes perfect sense from being up there feeding during the day where the bait fish are. Love your videos man 👍🙏🇺🇸
Good morning 🌞 Micka, I just watched Mark Cooper(I think that’s his name) Top Knox Fishing. Him and his buddy Brian were dragging in 8’ and less depth and did pretty good several large channel cats and at least one pretty good blue 👍💪🙌🙏🌈✌️
I tried the same thing. I went to lock B where water is 10-16’ deep. I scanned around for bigger fish and was able to catch pretty much all of them I marked with in 5min of getting baits in the water. No 30+ pounders but action all day.
When you fish shallow and your draggin Baits you have to remember the boat coming over the fish will disturb them. I always allow a hundred to 150 ft before I even put my planer board on. Then I do another 50 to 75 ft so that way the baits are as far away from the boat as can be. I have good luck with it.
Good fish if your fishing a tournament to get you on the board! Then you can start culling for bigger fish once you get your limit. Fished a lake tournament dragging in 18 inches of water channels was hitting like topwater bass lol you could see fish tailing on top hitting baits
Hay man try this filet your bait from the tail up to the head leave the filets and take the back bone out if you drifting those filets will make a swimming motion I’ve done this a lot of times it makes a difference if there bitting slow and smaller fish are all that’s biting. Just a idea but it works for me
Some those catfish think that bait is still alive,when they come up to it they well smack at that bait and try too stun it,then they well come back to eat it,just say ,that's my theory, I've caught 7 catfish that way on there side and hook them that way
I love this song, one of my favorites 💖🙏
Another great video, looks great there, thanks for sharing 👍

Yeah, I use bobber stops as well. However mine are the traditional bead and braid nail knot.

@@markybob_bassplaya1462 thank you. Yeah I'm targeting that 20 to 40 foot range now. Seems t be holding a few more bigger fish.

@@KunesRGr8 😆 yeah seems like everyone else has it figured out except me 😆
Yeah, I find that strip bait/fillets work much better in my waters. They just don't bite the chunks all that much.
@@BlackWarriorLures I definitely seen a difference.

@@DeanLankford-lm5zn I have actually done that on anchor but never dragging. I'll have to give that a shot.
I'm new to yours videos and enjoy them very much. What river are you fishing
At 29ish mins in that fish had it for so long haha
@@ethanhawkins849 lol yeah
Shallow is Relevant to how deep the areas you're fishing 15 to 20 foot deep is shallow for me
@@shannonwatts9694 that's kinda were I'm at now. Sticking to those depth ranges
Is that Mossy Run Creek behind ya?
@@PatJones-f1s yeah it was.
How do you get the clips to release on the spread em planer boards
@@jasonholbrook4359 I replace the ones they come with to the spotty clips.
My big of 72lb was in two and half feet of water
@@ceciljennings6220 oh wow I bet that was fun.
Is it me,or does he get his daily cardio running from one end to the other of that boat???

Never drag shallow. Fat fingers
