Another great thing about the balloon is you can get some small glow sticks and throw a few in the balloon then blow it up. Great for night float fishing. So much fun and looks cool when you have them spread out.
Memories of cats and sturgeon midnight with glow floats Cape Fear lock # 1NC
I have to tell you that I was introduced to the idea many years ago and am so very excited that you brought the idea back to light !!
The way you talk to the fish just cracks me up. Thanks for always making my day!!!
I agree with you totally.
You like talking. It makes my day!!! You give me a reason to live Justin!!!
i got 30 catfish just down river from you today............in my dreams.........you are doing a grate job keep it up
We used to tie on balloons on windy days to let the wind carry our baits to where we wanted them and shot the balloon with an air rifle to drop the bait.
Lol good idea
@@billylusk7207 You have to be a good shot the balloon is always moving. We did this while Wiper fishing and kicked some major fish tail.
Those scissors trim tail fins too! So take a close look at the competition's entrys you never know. Love to long line balloons when the wind is right, keep up the good work 👌
I tried balloons from the bank over rocks and submerged deadfalls and its a blast when you hear that balloon take off with the line squeaking through the knot.Thanks Justin
Thank you so so much for getting me into kayak fishing. I’ve discovered a new passion and it’s all thanks to you. Bravo!
Excellent as always buddy thanks for the info on balloon fishing and a bouns fish lol stay safe hope you get better soon
Shallow is a different game. The challenge can be keeping a river rig out of a snag while still trying to reel. I love it myself ...that extra skill it takes get a big one in and in a few feet of water and night is special. It's seems like the odds are with the fish most times.
Lots of smaller cats today but it's all good still a great video keep up the good work I have learned a lot from your videos
Man, you're onto something with these stinger flies. I tie flies too so I think I'll whip a few of them up quick
Sir I love seeing all the ways that you fish for catfish. I never knew that they're were so many awesome way to fish for them but thanks to you and you taking time out to show them to us I want to tell you thanks and I appreciate it. I like how you start your videos off cause most of the time you're telling us how your fishing that day like what rigs, what kind of baits, and how many rods your using and that is some important information for sure well atleast to me it is. And I'm like you I never thought them stinger hooks was going to catch as many catfish as they have I mean I had the same thought as you maybe catch bass, striper, and other fish like that but I'm glad you gave them a try and I'm sure you have made a believer out of alot of us that watch your channel. Just go to show it never hurts to try new things lol. Hope you get feeling better and thanks for all you do for us and all you go through making your awesome videos for us all to enjoy and learn from. Well till next's time GodBless and Tight Lines.
Thanks BJ!
I can't wait to see what kind of different species you might catch. My fiance said she is tired of catching Channel Catfish & Drum. Fingers crossed 🤞 that she catches something cool. I walked out of a garage sale today, spending $120 for a lot of wood & vintage lures, a new Catfish combo & 2 spinning reels.
You make great videos, Justin. Very enjoyable.
I was late to this one..was busy tearin up them carp today! Great stuff as always!
As always Justin thanks brother
Again, about 19:50 lone boat and you get a bite! BTW, if fans want to see a big fish, go watch Justin's very first video. What a beast!
Them Gollywhoppers don’t want to hurt your back anymore, they want a fair fight!
I see you found the balloons and the hot air to fill them up!!!😂😂😂
Get you an inversion table it will be life changing, it's a great help!!
Gotta love the bonus fish!!
Video was great as always. Bonus fish are always welcome 😅
I always watch to the end!!! Hello from MO!
Always enjoy the videos don't comment as much here lately but always supporting by watching.
Thanks Philip!
We may have to try that balloon method, looks like a fun way to fish! Thanks for sharing!
Neat seeing a new technique Justin!
Quite betting yourself up you are the man you are the big cat daddy keep up the great content
Another good video Justin! Thanks for sharing today. I have never balloon fished before so I learned a lot today. Out river here is very shallow in most spots so this may be a new rig I can use when not fishing in the deep holes. Keep em coming buddy we'll keep watching!
Thanks Joe!
Enjoy watching large or small I enjoy them all
Good info! Thank you for sharing!!
Great video I'm going to try them balloons in shallow water after this holiday weekend.Hopefully the fish are still there
Boonis 🐠🐟
Hope that pain gets gone sooner than later... I know the feeling.
Good informative vid man
Thanks
Looks kinda like tying a hair rig for carp but with a fly lol Love trying new stuff out myself so I really like watching you try something new!
Heck yeah bonus 🐠
Thanks for the video. I’m always learning from you.
Thanks for watching!
Nice work my friend!
Thank you for the video
You're so awesome!!!
Nice video mister Justin love your videos
Looking for some fist pump action this weekend, great video brother, keep dropping lines bud!!!
Finally got my boat running pretty good, ran great on the lake for our test run this morning. Hitting the river with the ole man at first light tomorrow for our maiden catfish trip!
That fish has a nose ring now. You’re gonna start a stinger fashion trend! lol
Have you thought about adding scent to the stinger fly? If it won't hold a scent you can run a piece of sponge(something like a piece of make up sponge)through the hook to hold the scent.
AWESOME VIDEO AS ALWAYS DUDE 🤙🤙🤙I JUST WATCHED ANOTHER CATFISH VIDEO AND IT WAS A FLATHEAD CATFISH THAT HAD A "SPLIT WHISKER" 🎣🎣🎣
Thanks for the bonus fish and the info man
I appreciate you watching and supporting the channel.
Will take a bonus fish all day👍👍
In the shade on the bank as I watch this. 2 chicken baits out as I finish a craft beer and prepare for a nap. Waiting for the bells to ring.
Always enjoyed fishing with balloons... We used them on Okeechobee in FL and hung shiners under them for bass... There are some monsters in there... I could just do without the dang gators... LOL
Hi Justin I always watch till the end don't want to miss any fish you might catch.
Thanks Ronald!
Woo-hoo bonus fish!😀
Always love a bonus fish. LOL
Thanks Ruger!
If you use water balloons, they'll pop when they get yanked under the surface and there's no resistance when reeling in the fish. We do it all the time when fishing for pike, worth a try man.
Justin, I think you're gonna have to start editing caption bubbles to the fish. 😂😂💀
Man you make me want to move south! At least we have some good flatheads and channels up in MN
God bless you on your syatica. God bless you and May God bless you 🙏!!!
Thanks!
Thank you Keith! I appreciate you.
I use the same rig without a stinger for big largemouth bass. A probably 3-4in perch, 4ot hook, and since balloons hold up lots of weight I'll use a 1-2oz weight. I basically take my catfish Carolina rig and just tie on a balloon.
I see you didn’t forget them this time!
We use the balloons here in Missouri to drift slow troll we prefer the white over any other color the idea being it may resemble a float bladder
I love you dude
he says "he aint very big". Mr. for those of us who fish mainly farm ponds, those are good size. Perfect eating size, I think
The only thing I have against the stinger flies is that you have to keep you bait 6 to 8 inches shallower than you normally would have to. Due to the stinger flies hanging lower than the normal hook and bait. So the bait isn't as close to the bottom as it normally would be which may let a fish miss the bait because it's a little to far off the bottom.
Justin I love your channel you're an awesome fisherman slam that gollywhopper oh and by the way wouldn't that have been something if when you threw that bait back down without the Stinger hook you caught the fish with the Stinger hook and got your hook back
Unless it is common. You have caught that fish again with the double whisker. I saw one with a double whisker in your vids late 2021-2022. Much bigger this time. ;D
Also running the stingers and the shallows, I would increase my speed to create more action with the cut bait and stingers. From my experience movement in the shallows creates strikes more often.
I set up one of my poles with a smaller sinker, so I remember to fish one pole shallower.
You could still run 4 rods. Put your long handle ones up front. Then your short handle on nack.
Run the long handle ones shorter than the long handle ones
That spot sure looks familiar to me. East TN? Loudon and Tellico are my nearby reservoirs.
Justin, those fish would be mighty tasty. I'm a fish eater.
still a great video
Thanks George!
Crazy how many Catfish you have in a single lake while there are none in Sweden at all. Vice versa we have 99% of the Pikes everywhere, anglers dream.
Yes, I wish we had some pike in our waters.
Wondering if you ever had the right current to bottom bounce with smaller waits I know you like to drift and spot lock just wondering nice vid 🐟🐟🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷
Bonus fish
Helllooooo sir 👋👋👋🤗
Thought: what if you did like a big skipjack rig? A series of them flies and no cut bait and see if the cut bait is even needed.
That one fish is going to go back to his buddies and show off his new nose piercing from that stinger fly. Better watch out, it’ll be all the rage soon.
Another reasons to use balloons over floats in your case is being able to switch back and forth from float to no float without having to re-rig your gear on the fly in the kayak.
What kind of kayak you using? Great video loved it 😊
Kind of like jug fishing!
Nice little bones fish lol
I like using floats . I will have to try balloons
Literally discussed this in the video 🤷
I hope you catch that fish again in a few years.
What kind of reel do you use?
👍👍
Since you are running stingers under all the baits, have you thought experimenting with the with how far you fish the stingers under the baits. I noticed the stingers are pretty close to the bait.
Yes, I definitely want to play with that. I don’t want to make them too long though because it will put my baits higher off the bottom than I want them.
@@KayakCatfish I was thinking more when you were the shallows.
Hey what kind of line are you using. Im trying braid 40# but i cant even cast it without it breaking in mid flight. So bad string or whats your thoughts? 3 ounces of weight.
Could you use this rig with a Santee Cooper drift rig?
What size hook you running on the stinger same as cut bait hook ? You may of said I just missed it if you did and just repeat it on next video! Thanks for sharing! I can't wait to give this a try I have been missing some fish don't know weather its far or short bite catfish but I have had some really great take downs on skip jack and blue gills too and I don't know how they are not getting the hook I'm using 8/0 and 10 / 0 circle hooks no scales on hook point and I bent the point of hook out just a tad like some other catfushet men said to like Michael Douglas! What am I doing wrong ?
The stinger hooks are 5/0 size. You may just have fish biting the edge of the bait and not getting the hook. I have fought fish all the way to the kayak and watched them just let go of the side of the bait. Could be gar hitting your baits too.
Lol, they make bobbers
Some days are just that way at least you didn’t get skunked
I always end up with terrible line twist. I use catfish Dave's pool noodle bobbers and it helps but I was wondering how you contend with the line twist?
I never have any issues with line twist.
Do they actually hit the fly
What is the purpose of the flys
Nice eating dinner fish
Do you ever get any panfish messing with the stinger fly?
Not yet. I keep expecting it
Probably a crazy question. But when u are casted out and pulling your bait on the balloon won’t your baits raise up to surfaces because there isn’t any weight holding it down?
I am moving at such slow speeds that the weight of the bait is enough to keep it down. If I was using smaller baits or going at faster speeds, I would definitely need a weight to keep it down though.
Ok thanks man yea I was just curious it dose make sense what u said I have learned so much from u in your videos over the little bit of time Being subscribe to your channel I have always loved catfishing every since I was a kid going with my dad catfishing thanks man
Obviously it works I’m just curious
What do u use to edit an cut videos for UA-cam I am just starting my channel an need to learn how an what to do on making a good video
I use iMovie
Why use balloons instead of bobbers?
Where can I find those stinger flies
Amazon. There is a link in the video description.
How is that garden coming alone
I decided not to do a garden this year. Between not being able to bend over easily because of the sciatica and my war with my neighbors, I just decided to let it go this year.
Dang i was looking forward to seeing your stuff I try and seen u some pics of mine stay cool man and get that back better trust me i know how it is
