Hey Spencer, Thanks again for providing great motivation to get back out there fishing! Now I've got my wife hooked ( pun intended ) and she caught her first today! We are even taking our niece's out fishing as well. All thanks to River Certified fishing is quickly becoming a family affair for us.

Hey Spencer. Cool video as always. Someone commented about mushrooms. Seeing how much you like to cook (and eat lol), do you have Morels in Iowa? "Dry land fish" in Tennessee, tastes kinda like fish. Research them if you're not already taking advantage of them. Pretty hard to beat walleye (or crappie) and some deep fried Morels.

Oh we have em. I just suck at finding em haha

Hey Spencer, I was hoping you could help me out with advice? I would really appreciate it! I fish in SW Michigan (LP), and it seems no matter what spot or what river I fish, live and cut bait get hit by Northerns before Cats. I catch maybe 1 Cat per 3 or 4 Northerns, any advice on how to get more Cats and less Northerns?

[@jeffalexander5842]

That seems like a tough one. Northerns are voracious and very active predators. Are you talking about flatheads or channels?

[@RiverCertified]

Swifter water might lead to more cats. Definitely worth a shot. Either way you're catching fish though.

[@InTheWoodsToday]

Channels or Flatheads, the cut bait is for channels and live bait for my first Flathead one day. Seems like the Northerns just beat them to the baits?

[@InTheWoodsToday]

Thanks Spencer! So should I fish heavier current seams? And its always a win to catch something, no doubt!

[@RiverCertified]

@@InTheWoodsToday probably. I imagine they are probably going to be more prevalent in the spring too
