This is awesome to hear!!! Comments like this are why I do what I do!! Thank you!! Keep fishing and keep learning! Pay attention to science in school, because all of that is important in fishing!!!
Another great video Dieter I loved it and don't freeze out there. I bought a set of orange B-KAT planer boards like yours but they must have relaxed their quality on them because they are raw aluminum unpainted and have sharp edges all over them and scratched up. I'm going to have to try to sand and polish the edges to prevent my line from getting cut. You would think that for the price they would be better made. Tight lines.
Great video i like bank fishing and fishing from a boat and hopefully next year ivwill be able to get kayak or a boat and Dieter have a happy new years
@@DieterMelhorn I wood recommend you wear a life jacket, Mr. Dieter. I don't think you have one on and better to have it on, then not have it on because if you happen to fall overboard, you would be wishing you had it on while not having it on so it's better to have one on.
Gizzard shads baits for catfish work best, I'm cut half 12-16" shads and hook under lip up to top head with 9.0-12.0 circle hook, the head caught more than the tail half.
For the Catch The Fever Rods, do you recommend the Medium or Medium Heavy action? I think I heard you say the rods you’re using today were Mediums? But for some reason I thought I remember you using Medium Heavy another time? I may be remembering incorrectly though.
For my fishing style, from a boat, and without massively heavy weight or heavy current, medium are fine and medium light work well for smaller to medium sized fish.
I've found the reason big fish eat small baits and of course a bunch of smaller baits easier to catch. Say for example flies. I've caught good smallies on them. When spring comes I'm hoping to catch a big smallie or catfish. I put my flies with trophy bass by procure and a splitshot 8 inches above fly. I'll let fly settle then pop my wrist towards me. Let it settle and pop it let it settle pop my wrist. I'll do this at least 6 times. If no bites a very slow half reel crank. Let fly and splitshot settle pop let it sit pop let it sit. I'll let fly sit at least 7 seconds it takes for fly to settle.
@DieterMelhorn i was thinking they was just trying to move it and got hooked i can't think of it every happening before this year. Thank you for your insight
Awsome my nephew and I also each got nice south east Ohio deer his green score 145 ish and mine just over 160 we had huge ehd die off 3 yrs ago so it r first trophy’s in 3 years
I’m am a kid angler and you help me so much throughout these years I’ve caught alligator gar bass and catfish alongside panfish thank you🫡👍🏾

@@DieterMelhorn thank you and I will
Nice job as usual Dieter
Thank you!!!
Good video Deiter, it's nice to catch a decent fish in the colder water. How are you liking the Boat.

That’s not good. The ones I use were made by the original owners and are top quality.
I usually catch some bluegill in the morning at one lake and that night use them for cutbait shorefishing

Happy New Year to you too!!
Good one Dieter What size leader you use? Have you seen the Alphaboard planer boards. They super nice. Thanks
Never used Alphaboards, but my leader is 18"-24"
If i could throw a cast net I'd use gizzard shad, but perch are easy enough to catch on a lure.
I wish you were closer. I would love to book a trip with you.
Maybe we can do a trip in the future!
@@DieterMelhorn 👍

I’m hoping to go next week

I caught a bunch of channel cats in 15ft of water the other day.
I've been having good luck with pumpkin seed sunnies cut flapper style.
Good intel!!

would perch be good frozen and then thawed

Sounds like you've got a good method!
Dieter I have caught some that was whisker hooked what do you think cause that to happen
Short strikes, trying to spit bait, bait in the way of the hookset…lots of factors….
@DieterMelhorn i was thinking they was just trying to move it and got hooked i can't think of it every happening before this year. Thank you for your insight
What kind of line do you use?
30# Ande mono
What are the planner boards for
Covering a wider area when trolling with multiple lines…
Go buckeyes
U get a big buck ? The boy ? My daughter missed a huge buck Ohio youth season
We both killed two good bucks this year....
Awsome my nephew and I also each got nice south east Ohio deer his green score 145 ish and mine just over 160 we had huge ehd die off 3 yrs ago so it r first trophy’s in 3 years
TRY A WHOLE GIZZARD SHAD SOMETIME. IT WILL GET YOU THE BIGGER CATFISH
If only that was true and that simple!! 😆😜😆😜😆
