Catching Catfish With The DEMON DRAGON
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 тра 2017
- I went out for a couple of hours to try out the Demon Dragon. The Demon Dragon is a peg float used to keep the bait off the bottom. It's used with the santee cooper rig. This was the first time I've ever used this peg float and the rig itself. I was also using the carolina rig on my other rods. It's good to branch out and use different rigs to catch catfish. The bite was pretty good as all of my fish came from one spot.

The Santee Rig is pronounced SANN-TEE not SAHN-TAY. My apologies on the wrong pronunciation.
Chatt Cats Fishing ok
Chatt Cats Fishing lol yeah that was like nails on a chalkboard.
ROFLMAO!! Being from the Carolinas that made me laugh.....
Chatt Cats Fishing lol At first I thought you were going to catch top water catfish, and then I thought you were being silly with the word Santee. Made me laugh thanks. You really should go fish the ole Sahntee though, it's an amazing fishery. I've only fished bass tournaments there but it's world famous for catfish¡😂
LOL!
Joe that looks like spook lure to me did he forget his float at home and got a bright idea to use a lure as a foat.
that's what it is a spook have to use what you got to catch what want great idea great video Joe
That "float" is absolutely a spook lure body with no hooks. I buy blank spook bodies on amazon and eBay for around 10 for $10 and paint them myself for small mouth bass. The bonus of these over a traditional float is they rattle.
Awesome video. Literally explained everything I wanted to know how to rig and fish.
Thanks! Glad to help!
I've been doing this with bobbers and it works I like it. But I'm doing it from shore and I like how it does. Expecialy if your fishing were there may be grass on bottom or soft soft bottom. When the weight hits the bait floats above. But I like to have the bobber closer to the hook to keep it higher. If your bobber to far away. Your weights on bottom then the bobber say 6 in or 12 in up. If you got a hook 12 in long the baits bringing it back to the bottom. So closer the bobber if to the bait the higher it floats. But good video thanks for sharing. Can't weight to get my bait back going I miss boat fishing. Have a good weekend god bless
Thanks for watching, Danny! Tight lines!
Love the channel, I'm a new channel myself but I live for catfishing and always appreciate a fellow fishing enthusiast. Good stuff
Thanks for the support! Tight lines!
Those fish are banged up because they are likely spawning. great video joe.
I think you are right! The spawn is right around the corner. Tight lines, Danny!
With the deamon dragon if you take your leader line and run through the eyelets all the way down to the hook. That way you have one line to tie there instead of two
Santee cooper lake! Nice rig...just a spook, no hooks! Used that rig with a big jig to catch striper at lake texoma! Great video!
Cool. Thanks for watching. Tight lines!
That is a cool product, thanks for sharing!!
TwiztedFishingTv jngiondvfo
Thanks for watching.
Great video as always Joe.
Thanks!
Great idea never would have thought of using that
another great video joe Tight lines I will have to try this setup
It was a good change for me. I plan on using it again. Tight lines, James!
Wow, catching cats right out in the current. Good vit. Loud and clear.
Thanks, Roger!
I have used same kind of rig but with a ratting float. Great video
Thanks for watching! Tight lines!
I watch your vids every day you inspire me thank s
Thanks for the kind words, glad to help!
I have two Okuma reels A XTC300 and 200.....like them both...Nice seeing them used. With the gold on them.
Thanks for watching!
Nicely done. much respect !✌🏻🎣
Thanks!
i noticed a little pond i was fishing this morning in Rossville, GA (2) large catfish...for this small pond 6-8 pounds , that were in shallow water. it appeared they were decompressing...(bubbles coming to the surface)...is this a spawn thing??
Hmmm not sure. Like you said it could be the fish decompressing.
Phil King is a guide on upper end of Kentucky Lake and Pickwick Lake
Would you say the Demon Dragon is great item to put into your arsenal for catfish?!? I've seen a lot of chatter and have watched a few videos of others using this rigging and it seems to be a great item!
Yes! Demon dragons are great to use.
what type of rig should I use in when fishing on bank with not much of current but alots of stick and big one too, I fish in a river in Texas Rio Grande and I use cut and chicken liver shad and shrimp.
Carolina rig should work. You can also do a three way swivel rig. You can look these up online, plenty of info about each rig. Tight lines!
Interesting rig, never seen one like that before. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
nice set up on the boat what kinda reels you useing ? I usually use penn international and penn squals
I use Okuma CLX 300L. Thanks for watching, James!
i like the rod holder you have, i am looking to build or buy one if i can find a deal on one. so that for a few trips each year i will take my bass boat and fish for big cats! thanks for all your videos, the only problem i have is i am a bass fisherman and have fished all the spots you are fishing but watching your videos has inspired me to buy a few heavy rods and line and terminal tackle to take my grandaughter (who is a great fisherman since 2 yrs. old) and try for some 100 lb cats, so on top of thousands of dollars spent on bass fishing , now i am spending hundreds to go a few times for big cats!
Thanks a awesome video !
Thanks, Scott! Glad you liked it.
I hope I can explain this well.... The "hoops" on the ends of the float that you are tying your line too. In most floats they are just screwed into the hollow plastic and perhaps glued. How in the world are those hoops not getting pulled out of the float when a heavy fish is yanking on them?
It's a strong lure. I haven't had one break.
great fish once again. never caught big catfish like that. biggest I landed was about 5 lbs. the santay rig looks cool to use. gonna make a contraption similar to it and see if it works.
Cool. Tight lines!
subscribed! your videos are very good! my brother and I moved to Dallas from Perry Iowa, he's always catching hybrids and stripers. I always catch cats for some reason lol but I'm not complaining as long as I'm not getting skunked I'm good! great video keep it up!
Thanks, Elliott! Keep fishing, bro! Tight lines and fish on!
are the monster rod holders you have in the center of your boat the two bolt base pattern or 4 bolt base pattern?? Thanks !!
4 bolt base pattern
Thank you so much for the demon dragon I would appreciate it and it does work I am so happy I can’t three catfish and I couldn’t believe it it is blew my mind now it’s really awesome
Thanks for watching!
is that a zara spook
John Simmins yes
Repainted zara spook it is. I thought he was going to be fishing catfish with a lure but just as suspected it was just another click bait You Tube video
they always feel big lol, love your channel
Thanks for watching!
Those are some really nice rod and reels
Thanks, Kyle!
Awesome video. I wish the catfish game was that good out here.
Love those Shattered Cat rods
Me too!
Where did you get that rod rack at I’d love to get on just like that for my boat..if ya can let me know that would be great.. and love the videos keep it up
The rod rack came up with boat. I think they are now discontinued. Not sure though...
Chatt Cats Fishing oh ok well I like the idea of it ... thanks tho I appreciate it thank you
Your videos are always great...
Thanks, Gary!
the man the myth the legend
Hello! Could you please tell me an approximate weight of the sinker that was used?))) What was the depth?
Depth was approx. 30-35 feet.
Sinker was 5 or 6 oz.
@@ChattCats Thank you))))
those shattereds are beautiful, getting mine soon! tight lines!
Cool! Good luck with them.
A large foam peg float that slides on is a lot cheaper and doesn't require two knots to attach... if you like the santee, try the kentucky dropper loop rig sometime!
Thanks for the tip!
10/10 on the camp crocs 😂
where did you get that fold-n-roll rod rack ?
It came with the boat when I bought it.
How do you like the new okuma clx over the old ones?
Very good reels. They are lightweight and smooth. Can't go wrong with them.
I've got two of the new ones and love them.
do your state have an aqua mussel problem here San Diego California there's few lakes that you are allow to fish on your own boat but the rest u can't because the aqua mussels problem
We do have mussels. I wouldn't say they are a problem here on the TN River.
Might be the best bait to use can you please let me know I will really appreciate it a lot I tried it I need to know please give me
Skipjack is probably my "all in all" favorite bait to use
what kind of poles do you use?plz reply back
Check the video description
Great video your the best youruber
Thanks for the kind words. Tight lines!
Did you make that rod holder cross brace
No. It came with the boat when I purchased it.
what's that thing around your belly? with the pull cord and yell handle
PFD
ok thanks I need one of those LO
I run a snell knott on my hook then run my line through the front hole the, middle, then the rear one on my demon dragon using one continuous line for my leader. Tight lines my friend
Tight lines! Thanks for watching!
Coming from a Carolina boy you can call it what ever you like putting fish in the boat like that we don't care.lol nice video
Haha. Thanks for watching.
do you use palomar knot? never fails! clinch knots fail from time to time
Yes. I use palomar and snell knots.
Up here in VA we have been using in-line stick floats for over 20 years to hold the bait off the bottom for better presentation, where you guys been in the cellar? lol
Haha.
Love this video nice catch
Thanks, Blake! Tight lines!
Were did you her your rod rack
It came with the boat when I purchased it.
I wanna ask this cause my state is not the same as yours. How many poles are you legally allowed to fish with at one time . I know in my state its just three poles
No rod limit in Tennessee
That must be nice but trying keep up with all those poles at once looks like a pain in the rear lol
I like your blue poles. What are they.
Shattered Cat rod
Where are you located? My friend and I take vacation together each year and always try to change it up. Would love to hook up and get put on some monster cats!
Chattanooga, TN
You could try tying Palomar knots all the way around even on the Santee rig like that. All you have to do is tie the palomar onto the leader side swivel eye first then the hook, then, pull that through the loop in the knot for mainline to mainline side of swivel. Same principle can be applied to the rattling float. Just make sure you make a loop big enough to pull the float and hook through. I've been using a Carolina rigged all the way around with Palomars even with heavy line for a while with great success and no knot failure. Hope maybe this helps. Awesome video! 😀
Thanks for the tips!
So its a Zara spook without hooks?
I think so.
Just a Zara Spook style lure with the hooks removed.They're a floater so ofc ourse it's going to work like a slip float.
Yep!
Where did you get the rod holder I like it. Fold and roll?
I purchased this boat from a good friend of mine. The fold-n-troll came with it. I think it's now discontinued.
@@ChattCats yes because I just cant find it. You should as Steve Douglas can he make a holder that fit into the seat like that
@@ChattCats does anyone wield those gunnel rails onto a boat?
Fun fishing 👏👍🎣
after your 80lb leader what knot do you use to tie on your hook
Palomar knot
Chatt Cats Fishing
Sorry I heard wrong or something.. I put 80 lb and tying a Polamar knot on 80lb mono is not easy
what kind of reels do you use
Okuma CLX 300L
I get a different set up if it works I'll be really happy I'm going to try this out I never tried this and I I'm hoping it works so this is a nice so nice 50 pound catfish hopefully
Demon dragons do well. Hope you get a big one. Tight lines!
Yeah I use that rig a lot but I use a small crappie float those cheap walmart sliding ones with the 2 sticks on the ends..
Where do you get your no rolls?

Hey Chazz, what kind of rods are you using?
Check vid description :-)
You should fish booker t state park. I fish there for bass a lot but a lot of guys fish for blue cat there. And i see them pull a lot
Cool. Thanks for the recommendation. Tight lines, Zayne!
I don't even catfish but I love your videos
Hermoculous same
Thanks for watching!
how long is your rod
My fishing rods are 7'6"
wish the river in my state had fish like that in it I'm usually paylake fishing wich sucks
What river do you fish?
Hey man. Can you do a video on how deep you hook a skipjack with circle hooks? Some people say barely barely hook it and others say as long as it's not past the point of the hook your fine.
Cat Daddy Fishin depends on the size hook to size bait as long as the barb is exposed u should be good
James is right! The big thing is making sure the barb is exposed.
Cat Daddy Fishin if you're fishing circle hooks and fill gap you're not gonna set the hook regardless if the barbs exposed or not
That's what I'm talking about. Everyone has a different answer. I'll just keep barely hook en em like I been doing.
Cat Daddy Fishin if your haveing prolems getting a hook set try down aizeing your hook and bait size ive caught bigger fish on a finger size peice than ever useing a huge chunk not because they cant eat it it's just hard to get a hook set with a huge chunck in the cats mouth
sup man love your videos
Great video
Thanks!
thats a super spook jr with the hooks taken off. but i like that idea
Thanks for watching!
What rod and reel is that
Check in vid description :-)
what rods you using now?
Those are the Shattered Cat rods.
That's the first time I've seen that Demon Dragon rig. Are you worried that short leader from the hook to the bobber / cork has very little room for stretch / flex? My Santee rigs are 24"-36" and insert "worm rattles" into my slip bobber, the same rattles that bass fishermen use. The longer leader may be a little more forgiving. Keep up the great content....long time viewer.
That's a good point with the leader length. I typically use a 15-20" leader line for my carolina rigs. This was my first time using the santee rig. I appreciate the pointers.
If you fish the Santee rig long enough, and let enough bites, sooner or later you start to see bite marks on the slip cork!
Can you fish cats with any number of rods?
Yes.
Good video
Thanks, Isaac!
Thumbs up for the san t rig
do you ever keep them for supper?
Typically no. Every now and then I will bring some fish home. Thanks for watching.
That's a spook
It is definitely a spook... LOL
How fast are you trolling
I was anchored in this video
Do you keep them
Typically release
It's seems your rod gets stuck when you get a bite, I would try to shorten the tube
What rods are you using
Shattered Cat
Is your leaders just regular monofilament?
Yes.
What rods and reels do you use?
I now use the B'n'M Silver Cat elite rods, but in this video I was using the Shattered Cat rod
SANTAY sounds so much better than SANN-TEE LOL However you say it I had fun watching once again...I use peg floats all the time..I have pretty good luck with them....
Haha. I'll say it correctly next time. I was glad to get my first fish on it. I will definitely be using it again in the near future.
Awesome
Are you using a fish finder?
Yes
I bass fish but I love your videos
Me too. Thanks for watching.
what is considered big ?
Maxwell Hoheisel 30 to 50 lbs but thats jist me ive caught 12 lbs cats and ppl freak out lol
Next time tie the head towards the hook it has more buoyancy in the head end of the peg float!
Thanks for the tip.
looks like a lure with out the hooks lol
