- Finally was able to get out and start chasing them fish on the river. Between current and trash it was definitely tough. But I was able to find a few.

I really like how you explain the area your fishing like the feeder creeks & how the bottom is . That helps me learn how to fish better for cats thank you .
Thank you for that. Sometimes alot of that makes a difference. Just know what the fish are relating to is key.
@@mickaburkhart14 we are starting to fish tidal water with strong currents . I have yet to know how to catch cats when the tide is running strong . When it slacks down to change the bite is all over . This is mainly channel cats .
@@1squirreldog tidal waters are really tough to figure out. I do know flow is ideal.
Skipjack are on fire up here
They are around here to but just finding cleaner water to catch them. I caught a couple that day but not as many as I would like.
I’m with ya on that one , I don’t fish the beds either, to let them reproduce ..
Yeah I know I could catch them there but they are under enough stress as it is. I can wait till they come back out 😆
I wanna see you pull another 100 plus catfish out have a feeling you will again go get them big ones
Thank you. I really hope I can. That would be epic for sure.
He had that rod pinned. Heck of a takedown.
Yeah it was. I was sure glad to see it.😅
Me too
I'm glad to see you out there again. Even if it is tough out there it is great to tag along and learn something. But I can't wait to hear you laughing that's when it is exciting. Be blessed. My friend.
Thank you. Yeah it was still a little tough but I'm at home on the river. It's only gonna get better from here.
Awesome video thanks for the information
Thank you
Beautiful fish for sure ❤
That was one of those Illinois river channel cats. ive caught some big ones up here around the peoria lock and damn one close to 15lbs. I think they get a little bigger here on account of little to no blue cats to eat them and the food supply. Them bigguns have gave me some of my best fights. Id hate to have a 50+lb blue fight and run like a big channel cat. Great video glad to see you out on the hunt thats my favorite part is having to work for them.
Thank you. Yeah one of the bigger channels I've caught in a while.
Great to see a new video. I was chasing Peacock Bass in FL as our Catfish bite in NC slowed way down. Hope to be back on them cats next week. Also looking forward to the Open House here @ MAD KATZ!
Thank you. Yeah the bite around here is pretty slow also. Peacock bas is a fish I've never caught. I'm gonna have to go and catch some one day.
@@mickaburkhart14 Florida Everglades with Captain Shane Procell. He won’t let ya down, but Mother Nature certainly can as we all know.
@@DaleWyman ok awesome thank you. I'll have to check that out.
That was a really nice 45 ish fish. Thanks for the video Micka.
Yeah it was. Thank you for watching. The fishing is starting to heat up. Hopefully more biggens to come.
Great Video Sir! Even the not so good days I Learn Something.
Thank you. I appreciate that.
You're gonna love those hooks
So far so good
Your rod stiffness plays a big part on the suspended bite. Circle hooks need a stiffer rod to hook up.
Yeah I moved to the madkatz carbyne rod for suspending. Alot stiffer than the regular s glass rods.
@@mickaburkhart14 Me too. I run the heavy action w/ 50lb mono.
@@RiverJunkie I just switched to that rod so gonna give it a go. So far so good.
Great fish!!!
Thank you
Thats a dandy.
Thank you.
💪💪💪
Micka do you use GoPro cameras on the boat? If so do you have any trouble with them freezing up or showing Sd card errors?
My wife likes your long sleeve shirt with the built in hoodie for sun protection. Was looking on the link but couldnt find them. Are they available?
No unfortunately not yet. I'm going to be putting a website together to purchase my merch. It just hasn't happened yet. Still working on a few things. But be on the lookout for it.
Can’t figure out that code on your reels. Are those Penn? I like em! What’s your take in them? Thanks 🙏🏼
Yes they are penn fathom 20lw. I absolutely love them. Best on the market in my opinion.
I don't know what kinda whisker seeker hook you used... But if the hook has an offset to it the hook up ratio will be better. I drift and suspend fish with the bass pro catt Maxx 9/0. That particular hook has no offset. So I do it myself. Either left or right it doesn't matter. I still get hooked up.
Then your luck suspending is way better that mine. I just can't seem to to keep them hooked up on a circle hook. But I did also move to a stiffer rod and maybe that's the difference 🤔
Nice fish! What style hooks where you using??
Do you have live scope mounted to your Terrova?
calm water
What trolling motor do you use?
I have the minnkota terrova.
Man I went this morning from 630 till 1130. 3 bites and 1 small channel. Idk if they’re on bed, or I just sucked that bad.
Lol that was me the last two weeks. They are definitely spawning right now. But it's only going to get better from here.
are you using offset circle hooks and are they allowed in the tournaments you do?
Yes and yes.
Nice fish Micka 😊
Thank you
