Bank Fishing for Catfish | Tips, Tricks, & Tactics for Beginners

Bank or shore fishing can be one of the most challenging things to do, but also the most rewarding. Not everyone has a boat or access to one. During the beginning days of my fishing career, I spent the vast majority of my time fishing from the bank. It's where I cut my teeth, learned a lot of lessons, and caught some giant fish. This video is directed towards the basic tenants of fishing from the bank for catfish, but can be applied to other species. DEEP WATER access is very important. We go over basic rigging, tackle, baits to use, how to find fishing spots, and the best places to put your baits. Take some time to soak all of this in and it will cut your learning curve in half, easily.

Do y'all want to see some more bank fishing shenanigans and big fish?

[@hensleyshobbies-doug7761]

Yeah I wouldn’t mind seeing more bank fishing vids and thangs, cause you know I’m a bank fisherman primarily anyways! I miss Ol Catfish Dave’s bank fishing excursions, now he’s got a boat he’s got too big for his britches, so to speak! lol! I still like the boat fishing too though but I don’t know guess I’m just old fashioned sumbuck!

[@smokingmeats9622]

I’d love to fish from your bank

[@jschro446]

Love to see a video like this, but about lakes. Can't just fish deep when there's a thermocline. Makes it very difficult to bank fish!

[@JasonLeeNowak]

Definitely

[@billygullett7335]

Yes I enjoyed it good fishing

[@desmondjohnson6360]

There's nothing like sitting with friends and family catfishing on the river bank, we use nothing too fancy but fishing is just having fun. Love you're videos keep them coming!!!😂

[@fishin-afamilytradition524]

Awesome night of fishing!! I'm a bank fisherman right now in Missouri. Good to see some bank fishing videos. I haven't caught any whoppers yet but I'm hoping for some.

[@fishing_with_TR]

Catfish Dave would be proud of that stump rod holder👍

[@haroldcale4767]

When it comes to fishing hooks I like off set hooks works for me. Love Bank fishing no boat or kayak. Pones Rivers and Lakes. FISH ON

[@robertmceuen3630]

Yes. I bank fish 75% of the time. Thanks.

[@TopKnoxFishing]

Bank fishing is a blast!

[@charliehenderson38]

To bad someone couldn’t open the gate for ya, looks like you could drive right to your spot but I know it doesn’t always work like that, me and my son do a lot of bank fishing for flatheads on the Ohio river, thanks for the video!

[@williamkitchens7423]

Nice job fellows. I always enjoy watching yalls adventures. Keep them coming.

[@jimmylowe1233]

Are you sure that catfish was talking to you? Maybe it was the adult beverages!

[@captinjack8874]

Great spot! They are hard to find out on the Tennessee river

[@ryanguilfoile2746]

Fish-On! Fam!

[@AnglingSpiders]

Great fish guys! Oh and that’s Virginia creeper not poison ivy.

[@TopKnoxFishing]

Oooof. Luckily, I didn't get any on me. Idk how since I bear hugged that tree.

[@timzeafla7678]

@@TopKnoxFishing it’s not like poison ivy. It’s basically a vine. It won’t make you break out.

[@hensleyshobbies-doug7761]

Get er did fellars, get er did!

[@mmorris1994]

[@chichorello9766]

How do y’all keep chicken breast on the hook every time I try and cast far it just goes flying I can’t throw a net to catch my bait so I stick to worms chicken heart and chicken breast any tips

[@TopKnoxFishing]

I don't use it very often, but you can't take some dental floss and tie it on

[@doggetla]

soak it with chicken livers in the fridge. add garlic, give it about 2-3 days before You go. it toughens up. after about an hour in the water it will fly off. GOOD LUCK

[@michaelciceraro7707]

I'll buy the stump rod holder for $300.00. does this include shipping and handling?

[@TopKnoxFishing]
