Brackish Water Surprise Catch! Using Jug Lines, Crab nets, and Fishing Poles!

Still catching up on your older content... Love the drone footage! I bought a TALI H-500 on clearance back in 2016 and practiced up to be able to make a few videos while building a Dream Home on Lewis Smith Lake! I tried to make a new flight every week, but when things got real busy, the drone flights took a back seat...! I like what I did, but (always) wish I could have done more...! God bless ALL of us!

[@datlouisianalife]

Thanks for watching!

[@Pompano-gy5nj]

Like you said, better than being at work! You had to work for those fish, but you did come away with some. I'd be interested in how you cooked the gafftops...they aren't exactly on the same level as channel catfish, you know? You soak them or anything? Looks like that spot was pretty high in salinity level that day - but not too high for the gators, apparently. Funny how those days that you are most prepared, the fish seem to know it and get lockjaw!

[@datlouisianalife]

It's always a good day when I can be on the water instead of work. I don't find the gafftops taste much different then the other cats if you take the blood line out. They seem to have a larger blood line. Sometimes you go fishing and sometimes you go catch'n. Just enjoy what the day brings. 🎣🐊🦀

To me sail or gafftop cats have a cleaner taste and firmer flesh.They are salt and brackish water fish so they don't pick up the taste of mud like most catfish.
