BOBBER Fishing a ROCK BANK!! (I almost lost a rod!)

[@sirmattski7735]

I live in northwest iowa. You’ve inspired me to talk a few buddies into camping on the river and go catfishing! Love the content bro. Keep it coming 💪

[@JesseSVSmith]

Didn't even have the Crocs in sport mode and still clamoring across the rocks like a damn goat 🤣 Keep up the good work brotha!

[@pabllam8017]

We did this when I was a kid. About 60 plus years ago. It never gets old. Fun stuff. Great video, stay safe.

[@fishlessfisherman1539]

You handle the rocky bank a hell of a lot better than I do. I hate the snakes! I deal with them every time I go out.

[@bryan4232]

Hey Spencer leaches work great along riprap for spawning cats. Also if your in a no current situation work it back occasionally like you were fishing a jig and bobber it can work great at times. Also watch for swirls sometimes they hit as soon as you drop it into the area. Thank you for great content. 😊

[@RiverCertified]

Thanks for the tips man. Glad ya enjoyed the video!

[@damianeli2610]

you ever thought about starting another channel about everything other than out fishin? To cover things like gear/equipment you and all the guys you fish with use, camp gear ect. Just a thought, i’d for sure watch it lol great video as always!

[@waterratlyle2590]

Love it man and just a fishing tip for you and whoever sees this."ROCKS AND CROCKS" don't work well together. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@jeffbelcher4646]

Thanks for showing ya don’t need a boat n all the fancy stuff to catch fish n have a good time. Keep fishin my friend isnt all about the catchin but that’s a bonus indeed

[@tpoto1004]

Reeling in the second half of a double, with the first one still in your hand…classic.

[@glennmurphy2686]

Looked like a great time, more videos, please Spencer.

[@atuuschaaw]

I remember when I could maneuver the limestone hillsides. I also remember ending up in the water a few times. Great memories other than the contusions and abrasions. 😉♥

[@Pdawg-gp7sp]

Good to go back to basics sometimes , tight Lines Captain Spencer 🐟🐟🐟

[@fishingnightnday]

Never heard that term before. Doodle sockin? Sp? You continue to teach. Now I feel the need to find my bobbers.

[@razinoff]

I used to doodle cat in Grand Lake Oklahoma @ twin bridges. We dropped shrimp between the rocks in about 5' water near train track rip rap. We caught tons during the spawn. That was in the 70's lol thanks for the memories.

[@egregiousblunder5395]

Man there's just something about bobber fishing or tight lining with bells on the poles while you kick back and listen to a ball game on a summer evening.

[@Pepper_em_outdoors]

Come fishing in sc with me spencer we got some big flatheads🤷🏼‍♂️

[@DillonSmith-u9q]

Really enjoy your videos, they are very enjoyable and relaxing!

[@riverrat988]

Reminds me of a spot by lock and dam 13. Nothing but fun there. Great Video

[@derbyfreak8183]

Can you make a video on how you clean/filet your fish? Also some videos of different baits like shrimp, hot dogs, etc. And compare them?

[@attitudeadjusted9027]

We had a family campout this last week and we're tearing up the channels with live and cut bluegill. We're at mazingo lake in nw Missouri. Most were prespawn and were all between 8 and 14 pounds. Healthy channels no matter where you go. They were on rocks or the channel leading to the rocks. We floated rocks just like you did in the vid except we used bigger bait. Great vid and keep your powder dry and your pantry stocked young man 💪😎🙏

[@ericallison4494]

"Slappy the Bobber Rod? Niiiice...

[@greenwoodsbushhogging6704]

It's a blast from a kayak too. I call it flipping for channels. Just a big clip on float and a hook set to 3-4ft. Flip it up to the bank and slowly reel it back, letting the bait hover above the bottom.😊

[@deefisherguy]

Hell yeah slappys backkk

[@darrenangle4493]

Great video Spencer. I get where you're coming from as far as liking to watch a bobber go down. I use bobbers in my pond alot just for the thrill of it. Thank for sharing as always.👍👍

[@billcotton1551]

I lost a rod earlier this year carp fishing, it happened so fast! Look out Spencer ,my Pirates are coming to Chicago:]

[@217rebeloutdoors5]

Catching cats with a bobber is so much fun Spencer everyone should try it once cause they will be hooked after that keep those lines tight my friend

[@kevinkelly5430]

I'm looking forward to fishing that resivore here in a few weeks. I try to hit it every time I go visit my mom.

[@wabashnate5036]

It's amazing how much they change in spawn

[@hawkwrangler1950]

Thanks for the tips Saturday. Didn’t catch anything but still a great day.

[@dextersgarden404]

Sorry, man! Been too busy to watch the last few episodes... Have a big job in Oklahoma coming up but after that I'm definitely going to binge them :)

[@thomasyoung6337]

Few rods in the rocks can feel like a marathon trying to get back an forth to rods without ending up in the water or with some nasty cuts an scraps

[@brianbenedict8374]

Love the scenery and the fishing looks great!!!

[@tommymohlen8919]

Pleasure as always my good Sir

[@jeffrobles2175]

My favorite setup to run. Love your videos man

[@RiverCertified]

Hell yeah. Thanks man.

[@socalbass758]

Awesome Vid! Bobber fishing for cats is so much fun! I was at Lake Pyramid CA few days ago and caught a dozens of cats with a bobber and nightcrawler. So much fun!!!

[@todd880]

Lots of fun

[@blacksabbathmatters3365]

Those rocks would be crawling with rattlesnakes here in NORCAL!

[@Ray56z]

Doodlesocking-never heard that before. Actually thought you meant using a bobber, but it googled to using light tackle, with and without a boober. Some fine eating cats, but tossing 'em back puts the males guarding the bed until the fry pop out. Good vid!

[@quackkiller7774]

Blue cats now in a central ia lake as well. Hope they stick like they did in Southern Iowa.

[@The91Bravo]

Great video. Thanks for sharing

[@briansuttles6743]

great video. l like watching bobbers too. doodle socking is more like cane pole fishing but 6 to 8ft. of heavy line tied to a stiff pole, l was told. stay safe.

[@jeffreylatham8890]

Always enjoy the bobber fishing.

[@darrelllykins8754]

🎉looked like a good time! Thanks for sharing.

[@TheDetroitman20]

Can't beat some catfish bobber fishing. Especially from shore. Thanks as always for sharing brother!! 👍🏾👊🏾✊🏾🙂💯

[@Scratch-That91]

Have you ever tried marinating chicken gizzards in cherry coolaid powder for bait? I use this for Limb lining cats in MO and spent two hours paddling in circles unhooking and reloading baits in a spawning shallow cove

[@brandibright2082]

It's always fun catching them when spawning they seem to get a little meaner. Clay from mobile Alabama

[@pauldonelan3739]

I'm not familiar with the spawning habbits of these puppies, but i think I was doodle socking (stealing that term, thanks) instead of crappie fishing last month. It was annoying not catching crappie but the cats fight so much better

[@garyjackson7566]

LOL the one you whiffed twice has no lips left.

[@RiverCertified]

🤣🤣🤣

[@pedrocruz4710]

Awesome video man! Good ol' bobber. Underrated

[@santannathegreat5167]

Go cubbies!!!! I love bobber fishing I have to admit!

[@dalewood5964]

Awesome video. Nice to see you fishing with the bobber for some nice chanel cat's. Been doing the same, thanks to you turning me on to those bobbers. In hopes to hear you are going to visit Master Paul this year.🤞

[@ParkerPursuits]

Haven’t bobber fished for channel cats in a while always chasing blues or flat’s going to have to do it again absolutely a blast!

[@FuManDrew365]

Buddy I would buy all the merch if it was in the budget.. but I have no problem watching enjoying liking and commenting on every video you put out.. thanks for all you do bud

[@weltboy21weltzin78]

Always Great content buddy!! You're my #1 You Tube Channel. Keep up the great content, and I still say you and Ol Richard Gene need to hook up for a weekend, Maan that would be phenomenal!!!!

[@royschlickeisen2539]

👍👍👍👍👍🎣video man those cats we’re sure dark colored

[@want2boutdoors274]

I dont think there is ever a time I don't throw a bobber out when catfishing.. its the addiction of watching the bobber disappear from a nice cat

[@dougshelby939]

Cool video once again bro! Never seen it done quite like that before but I know a good spot with what I always have heard called "rip-rap" near me and I think I'll give it a shot. One more thing... that first spot under the bridge to me looked very snakey. You had on shorts and flip-flops 😮. Maybe, maybe not.... And I definitely would have busted my ass getting the rod that was yanked in the water. Hahaha

[@jeffreyneely9283]

That was cool ,nice cats, those rocks will get ya.. totally enjoyed bobber fishing.😊

[@jerrodhankins2676]

Thanks for sharing. I did not know that cat fish spawn in rocks.

[@jamesm.gilbert3543]

Man that looks like so much fun Spencer. Here where I'm at Lake Mead, Hoover Dam same body of water there is lots of Channel Cats and Blue Cats I haven't heard of too many Flat Heads I'm going to try it this weekend wish me luck for a giant good video never too old to learn right?

[@comiketiger]

Fun stuff! God bless all here

[@RicardoHaruoIriguti]

Nice video, it’s always good to spend a few hours bank fishing, I miss bank fishing. Don’t loose your rod, Spencer lol. Don’t be hurried, man, you took out the bait from the fish’s mouth. Twice! 😂😂😂

[@smakinbass1991]

Take me fishing Spencer I want to catch a flathead all I seem to get is Chanel rats ands blues I’m also in Michigan where flat heads are harder to come by

[@tonyetter5460]

That’s my favorite spot… I live in Knoxville !!!

[@daledenstedt6369]

Of course they're angry they're trying to get some nookie 😂😂😂

[@williambenner701]

Yeah, catching catfish in shallow water is very fun! Especially with bobers .

[@dlutner8142]

Hey spencer the wipers are biting! Find a dam or spillway

[@pasarea999]

Fun stuff

[@mr.chesthead4554]

Great video sir 👍

[@pyrodave6407]

Still pre spawn in nw pa waters only in 60s flatheads are very active feeding

[@MalkavianC]

Could you try this with a regular thill or whatever balsa bobber or do you need one of those stout weighted ones? I can't imagine a light bobber staying put in current but maybe i'm missing something

[@narutohuntmendemon6354]

Night time is good time for catfishing

[@IEchuckie]

So many times I've seen a catfish with his head in the rocks and the rest of his body just wiggling out in the open

[@dradhdtulsa]

Nice footwork but I think you may be better floating!😂

[@daltonlloyd6887]

Would you do a video catching bullheads?

[@davidspangler4430]

Caught my first flathead of the year, 14 inch behemoth that damn near jersey my bait pole in the water lol

[@davidspangler4430]

Jerked my pole in the water, not jersey lol

[@boxingstarcmbballer8797]

I knew them cats had to be spawning in your area . It’s been hot early there . Hey but the upside is a long summer chasing hungry cats because spawning will be over in a week or so . I bet you will be getting on them huge flatheads real soon

[@ellabauer6445]

So that's what doodle socking means😂

[@chrisanderson9075]

Great video there’s not much that’s funnier than that

[@chrisbuck6086]

man look up Dark Water baits. I tore em up with that!

[@bidenhasdementia8657]

I enjoy your bank/romp/channel vids. The channel rats gets no respect but I love them.

[@wayne-oo]

Good eaters

[@jameshansen1490]

I like those slip bobbers. Whats the brand. Gonna pickup a few

[@robertwilliamson6958]

Have you done this method using a balloon instead of a a bobber for $ savings? Might work as good. Easily removable.

[@PahaPoniesSpanishMustangs]

Doodle socking meant something completely different in 6th grade🤣

[@codym3320]

You got me into flatty fishin with the bobbers it’s to much fun! What size weights are you rigging with the smaller bobbers? Assuming 1oz eggs

[@RiverCertified]

That's awesome man. You got it.

[@Gage2010]

Are you at lake red rock it looks very familiar

[@papahoppefishing]

That’s my type of fishing

[@cannedlaughter2535]

I missed ol' slappy.

[@scottodonahoe9505]

I don't fish bobber,s and cut bait because we have these tings called Needle Nose Gar and they will cut you like you up no matter how careful you are and once they get you they're just like a dink northern and wont stop bleeding !

[@TheFishanator]

Hell ya new vid

[@MB_angling]

hey spencer awesome vid i have a question can i use live pearch or live fathead minnows for channel cats?

[@nobodylistenstodenny]

Attaboy 👊

[@TheArby13]

Have you ever tried a dab on a few spots around your neck and face...of Absorbine Jr? Gnats and other bugs bug out.

[@nrgyzr2012]

What on Earth were you using for bait in the beginning? It looked like beef. Sure didn't look like no chicken breasts I've ever seen.

[@StevenRaymond-1970]

what size float do you prefer to use ?

[@panfishin-fool8057]

More doodle sockin🎣

[@whystop3388]

😁

[@Hambonicus72]

2 minutes 50 seconds into watching this video and I caught a 9.5 pound channel cat.

[@jamesscott684]

Heeeeyyyyy Bauer!!!¡!🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️
