MORE, MORE, MORE, MORE PLEASE!!!! I fish from the bank and i'm in a wheel chair for the most part so i'm trying to learn everything i can about what spots i could possibly hit. As well as anything else I can learn.

[@RiverRat-2112]

Wheel chair sure limits access so don't overlook chumming your chosen spot starting early in the morning or even the day before. Sometimes you can draw in the little fish that draw in and feed the bigger ones. You might look into getting a chumming slingshot like those Carp fishermen in Europe use.

[@111sconeful]

Whenever we went bank fishing we always took extra grocery bags just to pick up other people's laziness.

[@ripjake23]

Every time I Go I do 😁

[@fishinfool3795]

Working through your videos, no fishing for me right now with the weather being what it is. So far, I'm really liking what I see. Really good video quality, and very informative. I'll keep watching while I'm waiting for Spring. Thanks man.

[@daileyd01]

Hope you recover completely very soon. Definitely a fan of bank fishing!

[@photerm7320]

I am writing this before my iPad’s battery dies. I just wanna let you know you are a good fisherman and I love you.

[@hihi-ze8mv]

bros ipad never charger again

[@kenstarr5819]

Yes more bank fishing please hopefully family friendly like this spot

[@TopKnoxFishing]

Will do!

[@williamcornelison4721]

For a person who doesn't have a boat, this is what I want to see more of......

[@highplainsdrifter6384]

Love the bank fishing.

[@RaymondFondren]

Yes I would love to see more bank fishing videos I'm a bank fisherman

[@Crashdog111]

My knees are hurting just wathcing this video

[@sly-1429]

Yes Please!!!! More bank fishing!!!

[@tain4x4]

I caught several skipjack inside the culvert at hope creek last time I was there.

[@Hambonicus72]

Hell yeah, absolutely make more of these types of videos.

[@BASSMASTERGALVAN]

Yes more bank fishing please

[@RiverRat-2112]

Hard to go wrong with a boat but this time of year it is sure nice to have a fire.

[@juanmedina449]

Hell yeah more bank fishing trying to improve my boys pb from a 12 lb blue to something bigger

[@TimJones-po6jp]

I like when you hike in

[@elnegrogranblanco]

Oh yeah bank beater video!!! Great to see back & feeling better. God bless tight lines

[@RiverJunkie]

I love bank videos!

[@East.TN.prospector]

I was there for 2 years putting a pipeline in under the water I helped put that sign up in the background where you were standing on the dock and I do live down here in Lenoir City

[@TopKnoxFishing]

Super cool! What kind of pipeline is it?

[@East.TN.prospector]

@@TopKnoxFishing it's clean water coming from the new sewer station on top of the hill

[@jeffreylankford6240]

So get to huffing it lol because I like watching and learning bank fishing

[@waterdog3978]

Glad to have ya back! I’ve been catching a couple catfish off the bank and boat thanks to your guidance haha

[@michaelwomack9705]

Have had the same crap not fun keep safe my friend

[@TopKnoxFishing]

Pretty brutal. Did you have SIBO?

[@viddy228]

Hellcat rods are nice.. I have a orange one.. But the Madkatz rods i like better, I have 4 of those.. Same build quality but cheaper. And Madkatz has tons of kool colors to choose from.. Nice video.

[@codyeaton9832]

Definitely make some more bank fishing videos. Majority of my catfishing I'd from the bank and I like to see how other people set up so I can try something new if possible

[@benpoff7759]

Love the bank fishing vids!!! What I'd really love is some vids on how to score some baitfish from the bank. The best we usually get is some bluegill if we're lucky 😂 sure would like to see someone score some skipjack. We usually fish Tellico done around Baker Creek and Vonore, sometimes up around the Loudon dam. We've tried the Kingston steam plant a couple of times based on your videos, not much success yet, but at least it was somewhere different. Enjoy your videos! Glad you're back on the water! 😎

[@TopKnoxFishing]

Skips will be at the dams very soon!

[@benpoff7759]

@@TopKnoxFishing I'll try and keep my ears to the water and get some reels ready/rigged for some skipjack action 👍

[@boonefletcher2808]

I've fished that spot a lot I've had some pretty good luck there

[@TopKnoxFishing]

Heck yeah!

[@julielefler9747]

Love watching your show I noticed you use the same kind of bait. Have you ever or do you fish with blue gill worms are chicken. I have had luck with all. Last year even the big strippers were hitting raw chicken!! Love the bank videos

[@jeffyankey7916]

Narly with boulders hope you don't twist a ankle or worse!

[@hopescott1132]

Why don't you ever try a cast net for the skip jack just woundering

[@TopKnoxFishing]

I have in the past with very minimal success. They're crazy fast.

[@coryhall668]

Is the last one p land crek we never did good there but only been 1 or 2 times it's normally busy

[@TopKnoxFishing]

Ish creek

[@coryhall668]

@@TopKnoxFishing also in navionics worth the money when I downloaded it, my app doesn't show good quality as yours or does it get better when you subscribe

[@sheaconnelly4287]

I enjoyed the video. I think the reason you had such a hard time catching bait is because your retrieve is too fast.

[@royschlickeisen2539]

👍👍👍👍🎣

[@michaelmosley254]

Glad your feeling better good to have you back

[@JosephCampbellSolutions]

How far are you from St. Louis, Would love to go bank fishing with you. I suck at catching cats from the bank?

[@TopKnoxFishing]

A hot minute from St. Louis. Probably a 12 hour drive

[@quentinnailsare.2024]

I hate they got were you can fish with so many poles and I bye them I have 7 that's how many you can use in Tulsa

[@davefisher5196]

You ever think about selling the ole gas guzzler n buying a mid size truck like the ranger or colorado that get 25mph+ with tow rating of 7,000lbs twice of what your boat n gear weigh?

[@TopKnoxFishing]

I had a ranger and it did not like pulling the boat with a 100 gallon tank in it. It also broke down all of the time and I would get stuck on the ramp when it iced over

[@davefisher5196]

@@TopKnoxFishing that was an old beater Ranger that was like the old Taco’s. I’m talking about the newer 2019,s n newer.

[@TopKnoxFishing]

'Yota gang. I'd get a Taco, but I like the cabin space of the tundra for gear on fishing road trips.

[@davefisher5196]

@@TopKnoxFishing the new taco’s pull worse than your old ranger. They develop hp at high rpm so ya gotta rap them up n keep it there when towing

[@931tow]

When you don't have bait,just use strawberry chicken. It's always available and it works.

[@FlatrockFlatheads]

Plain chicken works just as well. It's the amino acids in the meat that attracts the fish. Jello n kool-aid are human attractants. Lol.

[@931tow]

@@FlatrockFlatheads you may be right but I find that the way I do it the meat gets tougher and stays on the hook better. I vacuum seal it with the jello and refrigerate for three days. Dieter Melhorn said the strawberry got a few more fish than the plain.

[@FlatrockFlatheads]

@@931tow in that 1 video he did say that but overall plain did better over time. If you notice Dieter no longer adds any kool-aid or jello anymore. Fishing and gear outdoors uses only plain chicken. Kills it.

[@931tow]

@@FlatrockFlatheads it is less of a mess I'm sure but it's been doing quite well for us. We had several 30 lb class fish this year with it and my wife is superstitious.. 😆
