I drift in my kayak on the Potomac with suspended baits and it always produces. Went out yesterday and caught around 30 blues. Biggest was only 16lbs but was still a fun day. Used cut bluegill.

[@giannolo1]

Are you not having to burp these fish after pulling then up from deep water? I once heard any fish caught from 40 feet down or more needed to be burped

[@kencleg7721]

100’ water 35’ down there in the bait line

[@206pappy]

Dang, my lake averages about 5 foot deep. Couple holes at 15' to 18' but they're only reachable from boat. it's a 3000-acre lake but shallow.

[@sambarnette6207]

Awesome !!

[@kevintrainor1669]

Bringing fish up from that deep, do you need to deflate the bladder?

[@Firewoodmaninvirgina]

Good video, I got to start doing that in the lake. Cats around here (the eater one)love chicken 10 to 1 over cut bait , not sure on big ones though I haven’t caught a really big one yet, I’m do

[@SCDeerAddict]

This technique is my favorite, nothing like suspended bait takedowns

[@PopPopJoe]

I never see you use live bait, is there a reason??

[@DieterMelhorn]

I tried it for years, and while I would occasionally catch fish on it, I’ve caught far more fish on cut bait than on live bait when fished side by side.

[@CastBlastCamp]

Great fishing Dieter, on that dark blue you got, whats some telltale ways of knowing its a male or female fish?

[@kencleg7721]

Tails and anal fins

[@ChrisMabrey-tp2yr]

That Dam Bite!!

[@markreeves2491]

Nice fat blues and a good channel cat ! 👍👍

[@djpat5998]

I bet you're a lot of fun to fish with.

[@jeffreyneely9283]

Great video, sure was some nice eaters.

[@jbhodj2012]

That dark color was awesome!

[@Coyotes254]

Those blues are well fed.

[@hulkhuggett]

What time of day was this?

[@DieterMelhorn]

Midday….
