    I was there this morning. First time in about 30 years. I was only there one other time with my dad. We were trying to snag paddlefish back then. Today I caught two skipjack. That is the first time I have ever caught them. Thank you for posting videos about the river. You helped me to prepare for what it's like to fish the dam. Keep up the great work!

    Ive been smoking skips on a 3 inch white fluke with a pink lead head. And i spiked the tail chartreuse. Throw out and twitch it then stop, then twitch and stop. I caught 93 in about an 2 hours. I threw one back that wouldve went 3 and a half pounds, no doubt!!!

    you know you pro when you get one on each hook every cast.. i cant do it yet but my friend can crazy style 5 at a time.. well i can do it on sabiki when the small ones are around but on the jigs i get like 3s and sometimes 4s but never 5s.

    Can you still catch them in July? I’ve gone twice and I’ve only got 1 skipjack.

    • @RiverBloodfishing
      @RiverBloodfishing  Рік тому

      I never catch any in July it’s pretty rare, I usually just use gizzard shad and carp this time of year for cut bait

    Can you make a video of how you set up the 3 lures on one line? I have started taking my nephew fishing and i have no idea what I'm doing and how to do that. I'm about 20 minutes from the falls and really want to take him out

    • @RiverBloodfishing
      @RiverBloodfishing  Рік тому +1

      It would be a while before I could get a video out but if you search on UA-cam for a double jig rig you can find some good videos, I personally tie a dropper loop for the 2 jigs on top and a non slip loop knot for the bottom jig, or you could just tie 3 clinch knots for each jig and that’s going to hold

    Do you let them sink and then start reeling?

    • @RiverBloodfishing

      Sometimes I do but if there running thick I just cast and retrieve also depends on how strong the current is

      The water is not looking so good its going to be up, i have caught them in the creeks around the area when it gets up but not many, feel free to ask questions on the markland fb group and we’ll keep an eye on the dam I would like to get back down there as well
