Dave, You always teach me something. You forgot one though,...boat ramps can provide entertainment, like on Memorial Day Weekend. At least one forgotten drain plug every 30 minutes. Keep fighting the good fight. It looks like 51 feet to me too.
We used to pack a lunch and go the Tayor's Creek ramp in Beaufort, NC. I have seen drunk people fall out of the boat, several trucks go right in the creek and also a woman hit her man with a brick. Never a shortage of entertainment.
Some of the best advice ever! I laughed my butt off but trust me I take your advice and use it myself and that includes all your videos! Thanks catfish Dave!
You hit the boat ramp fishing right on! All kinds of fish hang around boat ramps, most ramps have deep holes from the ramp out to the middle of the river. After launching my boat, my finder had fish stacked up around most of the ramps I've launched at.
So true Dave. Used to fish for big stripers off of rocks next boat ramp and can’t tell you how many people coming in would offer fish that they caught to us. Great video as always. Appreciate you. Blessings.
Thanks for the "Boat Ramp Cat Fish" education Big Dave! I'll see if that works out up here along the Snake River where I know there are some decent catfish! Nothing like what you have down there of course... but our problem up here is we have these pesky Sturgeon that like to eat the same stuff we use for catfishing! :) Don't forget to break out that Les Paul one of these days my friend! ;)
I enjoyed your video about fishing around boat ramps. I fish the Mississippi river and boat ramps are placed in eddys to make loading boats easy. Eddys are my go to when it is cold fishing from the bank. Good video.
Good morning Dave. This warm weather in East Tennessee is nuts! Last night at work it was 60 degrees. In January! That guy in the boat must have been fishing for the pot of gold. Haha!
The profoundness of your explanation is just outstanding sawfish the boat ramp well cuz there's water boat rent cuz there's a boat ramp dude you have a second grade education and I am giving you a lot more than what you should be given
He has a video out there somewhere on repairing a cast net. It wasn't one of the cheap Wal-Mart nets but a little more expensive brand. I think it was in one of his videos on catching bait.
Yeah I think he does have a video on it. But like that other guy said Catfish Dave uses those goid nets they're abot $150 i checked on one . But can't remember the name brand now.
Great video Dave . That same cold front came through North/South Carolina Saturday night I was driving on US 321 it was all I could do to keep the truck in the road the wind was blowing so hard...
shanester the I’m in those areas and few CD hasn’t shown. Hopefully he won’t show them if he goes so they don’t get blown up. I will be at Melton hill damn tonight.
Watch his back to my roots video I believe that is north East Tennessee, Douglas lake, holsten and French broad. I am new to TN , still learning the spots and patterns of the fish.
I saw the video back to roots. That's in sevierville. Boyd's creek. I knew Dave was from the Knoxville area. I was referring to someone else that commented.
One time at one of the old ramp on Grapevine Lake walked 40 lb flat laying there. I dont know if he was there for bait or because it was warm but he was there
Ramps are convenient places to fish but the bad part is, some people don't have enough common sense to get out of the way of trucks trying to launch or load boats. I don't have a boat and am a shore fisherman myself but I see this all the time. I will fish beside the ramps but dont like to setup on them. I was fishing near one ramp on Watts Bar a few weeks ago and some other bank fishermen came and sat chairs on the ramp itself and was fishing with floats right where the ramp goes into the water. 30 or so mins before dark, the boat fishermen that had been out fishing came to load their boats and these people just sat there in their camping chairs staring at their floats on the ramp. They had a 2 lane ramp totally blocked. They wouldn't reel in...wouldn't move. They just sat there and ended up getting into a shouting confrontation with the guys trying to load their boats.
Lmao 🤣 your exactly right about the crappie fisherman trying to give there fish away. I’ve had it happen to me several times at the ramp.I guess People just have a hard time releasing fish. That’s why some people keep trophy catfish I guess.😡. Enjoyed it as usual Dave👍👍
Dave there is catfish at the end of that rainbow behind you, good fishing.also a lot of people throw leftover bait at boat landings that they dont want to carry home
Nice one Dave you're fishing on a non boating kind of day, don't think anyone would have a problem with you being off to the side. Looks like you can catch trolls by boat ramps too 😎 Jeff in LA USA
We were fishing at a boat ramp one time and these two guys were trying to put a boat in the water. They forgot to take those straps off the back of the boat so the guy in the boat keeps telling him to back further in. the boat guy keeps trying to back the boat off of the trailer. Finally the trailer starts floating with the boat still on it!! At which time the boat guy signals for the truck guy to pull out. He puts it in drive and pulls it out, and doesn't even stop, he drives it clear out of sight!!
Love the simple logic. #1 Boat ramps by the water. Catfish in the water. #2 Don't get my boots muddy. #3 Domino's Delivers to the ramp. Lmao. I use the same strategy when on vacation fishing tidal areas. Dont like mud on my shoes either. Tight lines brother.
Was at clark center park in shorts this morning its the 15 th so had same type day . Park employ look like he wanted to tell me to move but he let me stay . Wondering if the blizzard that hit in the 90s is going to happen this year im not from here iv herd the weather was just like this.
Hi Dave. I really appreciate the content in your videos. I live in Knoxville and am a life-long fisherman. I'd love to meet you for breakfast or lunch sometime (my treat). Just let me know if you have any interest.
Catfish Dave what city are you from? I’m from Tennessee as well. But I’m in west Tennessee. And I fish paris landing a lot and I have caught many fish around them. I have also got a bite when boats come in? Strange. But it’s happened a lot. Not only bites but the fish would jump all over it when the boats come in. Would you think maybe people. Fillet fish the cats follow boats for the remains or could it be the disturbances.
Hey dave , all them boat ramps have there own no fishing sign , and that makes it more of a challenge and more exciting,, have you ever noticed there ain’t no signs that say ,,, NO making Whoopi,,, I wonder why that is.
Wouldn't a go pro be better for those conditions? Being water proof and all. Is your camera way better than a go pro? Just wondering. Would eliminate a lot of your camera issues.
@@jprizzle2604 thank you so much, Jordan, for the reply. i so enjoy your adventures and your demeanor as you have and explain them... God, we must clean up our waterways! FISH ON, brother! arthur (Ngai)
Another reason a boat ramp is good for catching catfish: They're often situated in an area with deeper water relative to areas that have otherwise shallow water. You know, boats gotta navigate and so forth. Structure can be as little as a sharp 3 foot drop in depth. Structure is good. 🤙🤙🤙
I like the way you do your videos, no B.S. not a bunch of useless talk! Just straight forward fishing and Great tips! Doing a Great job! Tight Lines!
I never thought about ordering a pizza to my fishing spot, great idea!
Beautiful rainbow in the background.

I love this one. Good music too. Have A Great Day Dave. Stay Safe!!
Nice fish you're lucky with that temp. It's 34 today and 19 degrees tomorrow. Weather's goofy up here. Nice rainbow about 3:10. Thanks Dave.
You hit the boat ramp fishing right on! All kinds of fish hang around boat ramps, most ramps have deep holes from the ramp out to the middle of the river. After launching my boat, my finder had fish stacked up around most of the ramps I've launched at.
Man I love it, every time I hook up I have that banjo start playing in my head lol love it!

Another day outside catching fish nice weather, caulght two myself yesterday off clinton lake 😎👍
Clinton lake , Kansas ? One of my all time favorite memories is fishing at Clinton lake with my uncle Cliff.
So true Dave. Used to fish for big stripers off of rocks next boat ramp and can’t tell you how many people coming in would offer fish that they caught to us. Great video as always. Appreciate you. Blessings.
I have that same plano box. Bought it 20 years ago. Still in service. Love the video. Keep on keeping on.
I have the same one but mines green
GREAT VIDEO!!! ALSO BEAUTIFUL RAINBOW THERE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE VIDEO
Thanks for the "Boat Ramp Cat Fish" education Big Dave! I'll see if that works out up here along the Snake River where I know there are some decent catfish! Nothing like what you have down there of course... but our problem up here is we have these pesky Sturgeon that like to eat the same stuff we use for catfishing! :)
Don't forget to break out that Les Paul one of these days my friend! ;)
I enjoyed your video about fishing around boat ramps. I fish the Mississippi river and boat ramps are placed in eddys to make loading boats easy. Eddys are my go to when it is cold fishing from the bank. Good video.
Boat ramps are good for all those reasons especially bait fish. Thanks for the info. Keep that humor and the film rolling.
Really enjoy your videos love to hear those reels screaming!!! Thanks for sharing God bless
I love this video. I've never thought so much about what you can do off a boat ramp before!
That rainbow though!!!🤗🤗🤗
Your the best catfish Dave, keep them coming
Great shows keep up the good work
Rainbow and skill equal fish great video 😎
I’m gonna start doing the Dave hook set when I’m going after cats.
I was thinking the same thing lol.
It's good to see what Doctor Dave does on his day off.
Good morning Dave. This warm weather in East Tennessee is nuts! Last night at work it was 60 degrees. In January! That guy in the boat must have been fishing for the pot of gold. Haha!
All Good Reasons To Fish Near A Boat Ramp, The Best Is That All Of Them Are On The Water. :) Great Video Brother 👍👍
50 Feet Is Not Far If We Can Cast 6 Miles :)
Man best idea ever. Theirs a light pole right over a boat ramp at my lake I need to start fishing it at night more often. I know it draws in shad
The profoundness of your explanation is just outstanding sawfish the boat ramp well cuz there's water boat rent cuz there's a boat ramp dude you have a second grade education and I am giving you a lot more than what you should be given
You should do a fix it video on how you fix your cast nets, I have one to fix and have never seen it done.
He has a video out there somewhere on repairing a cast net. It wasn't one of the cheap Wal-Mart nets but a little more expensive brand. I think it was in one of his videos on catching bait.
Yeah I think he does have a video on it. But like that other guy said Catfish Dave uses those goid nets they're abot $150 i checked on one . But can't remember the name brand now.
It’s called a bait buster he uses the 8 foot
Every time a person tries to do something else, they get a bite. Good video.
Talk on the phone, go to the truck for a snack & the band played on. 🎶
Those storms look bad enjoy your videos take care buddy. God Bless
it's the middle of january here to and it is 38 and dropping.. you stay safe out there Mr catfish!
Pesca sensacional, este lugar tiene buen pescado felicitaciones el video fue hermoso.
Abrazos!👍🎣😉
Will you do a video on that net repair and another great video
I think he has one on fixing a cast net. If I'm not wrong.
Can You put up at Video of throwing a Cast Net...I have one but really suck at throwing it...Any Tips You would be Great
I slayed some bass that day before the storm. Good video, I live off Northshore
Would you show how you cast that net? That was cool
Great video Dave . That same cold front came through North/South Carolina Saturday night I was driving on US 321 it was all I could do to keep the truck in the road the wind was blowing so hard...
I fish quite a few boat ramps out here in East Tennessee, I really hope to run into you sometime. Thanks for the awesome videos!
What part of east TN?? I know Dave is around Knoxville Kingston. Alcoa area.
Looking for more places in North East Tn.
shanester the I’m in those areas and few CD hasn’t shown. Hopefully he won’t show them if he goes so they don’t get blown up. I will be at Melton hill damn tonight.

I keep catfish from 2 pounds on up even the huge catfish n clean every one of them
Dave there is catfish at the end of that rainbow behind you, good fishing.also a lot of people throw leftover bait at boat landings that they dont want to carry home
I’m gonna have to bring me a Bluetooth speaker with me and start playing banjo music when I hook one. Awesome.
I like the music when you catch a fish
Love fishing boat ramps they always hold fish
Some lakes I fish have signs posted "no fishing" from boat ramp, imagine that
Nice one Dave you're fishing on a non boating kind of day, don't think anyone would have a problem with you being off to the side. Looks like you can catch trolls by boat ramps too 😎 Jeff in LA USA
All of catfish Daves vids are great!
You're right across the river from me.
Can u tell me how to properly use a click reel. What is drag set on

Brought to you by dasani water and mustad demon hooks. The official sponsors of catfish dave
There's a rainbow in the background. Before he caught the first one.
I enjoyed the video. Thanks.
Last winter was so cold up north I remember they were having earthquakes from ground water freezing.
Love the simple logic. #1 Boat ramps by the water. Catfish in the water. #2 Don't get my boots muddy. #3 Domino's Delivers to the ramp. Lmao. I use the same strategy when on vacation fishing tidal areas. Dont like mud on my shoes either. Tight lines brother.
Old road beds often lead from deep to shallow giving a clear highway from deep to shallow.
Boat ramps are great in the cooler and cold months. The concrete heats up fast and causes the water to be warmer in the area, thus more fish
stren catfish line? very good line
Hey Dave are you from Tennessee , if not where are from.
That would be a monster for me. Great video
His depth perception is gonna get allot better real quick if a game warden catches him. But I do hope he makes it.
My depth perception is off too Dave
Your tripod is impressive. All that wind and not a shake at all.
I have rocks stacked against the feet to hold it down
Also catfish spawn at boat ramps where there's holes underneath it where the waves have hollowed our the holes
Love the video Dave as always! You really give some good information on catfishing! I'm going to try those demon hooks.
It's currently 72 degrees at 6am in south texas right now
Was at clark center park in shorts this morning its the 15 th so had same type day . Park employ look like he wanted to tell me to move but he let me stay . Wondering if the blizzard that hit in the 90s is going to happen this year im not from here iv herd the weather was just like this.
So dies this crazy weather ever confuse the fish as far as getting on a nest or effect their eating habits
It takes a much longer time for the water to warm up. Just cuz the air temp is 80 for a few days the water temp may still be in the 50's
Hi Dave. I really appreciate the content in your videos. I live in Knoxville and am a life-long fisherman. I'd love to meet you for breakfast or lunch sometime (my treat). Just let me know if you have any interest.

I use bait shrimp for the blue cat
Hey dave , all them boat ramps have there own no fishing sign , and that makes it more of a challenge and more exciting,, have you ever noticed there ain’t no signs that say ,,, NO making Whoopi,,, I wonder why that is.
Also my family is from Knoxville tommy Rayburn. Larry dale rayburn. Sharon Rayburn. Uncles and aunts all have passed now.
CFDave, when is the last time you ate catfish, if ever?
10 degrees this morning in North Idaho!
You fish around Louisville quite a bit? I'd love to tag a Long sometime im right down the road!
Great video dave keep it up 👍🏻
Thanks Dave!
What type/size hook r u using/weight
Nice video
There's a boat ramp I've been fishing since back in the late 1980s and now there's a sign there saying no fishing from ramp or you'll get a ticket.
hurray for Dave and Bluegrass!
Wouldn't a go pro be better for those conditions? Being water proof and all. Is your camera way better than a go pro? Just wondering. Would eliminate a lot of your camera issues.
Lakes in KS are gonna hard next week, sad state of affairs. May is right around the corner tho!
Dave multi tasking he quit school because they had recess he doesn’t play.
Catfish dave with another banger video lol. Making us Dave’s proud around the world.
Hey Dave, any of these catfish you caught here off of this here dock good eating'? thanks, arthur...
NgaiOlaudah no we have fish advisories here where we live. Too much mercury
@@jprizzle2604 thank you so much, Jordan, for the reply. i so enjoy your adventures and your demeanor as you have and explain them... God, we must clean up our waterways! FISH ON, brother!

Love the music
Love the bluegrass when you hook up.New sub, but I love your videos.
What kinda hooks are you using

That's what I was thinking would be the main reason.
