BEGINNERS GUIDE TO CATFISH

LET'S GET YOU READY FOR CATFISH SEASON!
This is a Beginners Guide to Catfish Fishing. This video is intended for someone new to fishing for catfish and not intended for experienced catfish fisher men and women. The video covers the basics of catfish fishing. It covers why you'd want to fish for catfish, what rods and reels are ideal for catfish fishing, what tackle and rigs to use, and the popular baits to use for catfish fishing. A lot of time and effort was put into this video. I hope it helps you catch more catfish this season
Big thanks to the lake staff for allowing me to film at the lake.

I love your videos bro and appreciate them. Wish you would more often if possible? Hopefully one day I'll see you out there brother! I'd like to see a tilapia set up too I've never caught one before, lol. But thanks man keep on 🎣 Fishin' !

[@pokedad.fishes]

For sure brother! Hope to catch you out there. Yeah I’ll do a tilapia dedicated video for sure. They are so much fun to catch.

[@AlexisHurtado-nm6uh]

Can you please show us how to do tilapia rigs 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@pokedad.fishes]

For sure. That’s a video I’ve been looking to do.

[@mattthorp9943]

Im stoked to get after the catfish this year! I usually go after them at Pyramid Lake (also target striper), the aqueduct, and Lake Isabella. All about that fresh bait and SSS in the aqueduct. 🎣🤙

[@mattthorp9943]

Btw, the Okuma Avenger is also a great reel option that doesn't hit the wallet, and comes in 1000 series with a bait runner option for trout.

[@pokedad.fishes]

Oh nice! Thanks for that info. I need to check that out.

[@TheDestroyerYT-ph3lv]

Question when I cast should I cast as far as possible?

[@josezura1808]

Hey man with you I got my first trout at santa ana lake 😢 and I'm going to go for catfish

[@pokedad.fishes]

Jose brother! You’re gonna get them catfish! I know it! 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@justamexicancrusader8700]

What size weight should I use?

[@socaldrew6174]

Are there any scents that should avoided?

[@TheDestroyerYT-ph3lv]

Thanks for the vid I do trout fishing at Sarl but want to also do catfish fishing and one question when you use shrimp do u cut it up and put it on a hook or use the whole shrimp?

[@pokedad.fishes]

For sure brother! It’s nice to fish SARL year round. When I use shrimp I cut them in half on my smaller setup. My bigger setup I’ll use a bigger hook and toss it way out. 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@alexalvarado_1972]

Where can I buy those orange ugly stik rods? Great video by the way

[@pokedad.fishes]

Alex brother, Bass Pro Shops in Rancho has limited stock. If not you can order through our site. www.purefishing.com/catfish-special-spinning-rod-1523157

[@ejo4454]

Walmart Ugly Stick at Walmart plus spray paint for the color of your choice😅😅

[@Disney-art-craft-fan]

I have Mr. Whiskers Cheese Flavor Catfish Bait will that work to for catfish at the Santa Ana River Lakes?

[@pokedad.fishes]

That will definitely work. Any bait with a strong scent should work. 🤙🏼

[@TheFishingGuy1]

Would bang garlic spray be a good option instead of the good-good

[@pokedad.fishes]

Absolutely! That’s another one of my favorites to use. Have done very well with Bang Garlic. 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@josezura1808]

Hey man what type of Marshallows do we get

[@pokedad.fishes]

It doesn't really matter but definitely get the mini size. They have scented marshmallows and I prefer garlic scented. Some people just used plain white mini marshmallows. 🤙🏼🤙🏼
