Your so right about blind drift fishing. Just the way Zig Ziglar would always say,, if you aim at nothing you're going to hit it every time.

Great video. Would you ever disengage the spool and use the bait clicker when drifting? I’m relatively new and that’s how I’ve been fishing, but not sure if it’s best?

if your anchor fishing what size drift sock do you use for your boat?? Do you use 2 socks on the back??
@oduncan9 жыл бұрын
Great video, good information. Do you drift much in the winter or anchor more? Also, any tips on finding really large shad like the size you're cutting up? I fish in a lake and can catch plenty of shad, but never any 10-12 inch ones like you're using.
@Catfishedge9 жыл бұрын
I do both in winter depends on water temp and what the fish are doing. I use my sonar to find big shad.

Chad, how far off the bottom do you want to drift your bait for the blue cats ? what it to high off the bottom? Thanks for all the good info.

So if I don't have electronics I shouldn't try drift fishing?

Great video. What are your thoughts on drift fishing in a tidal river? I fish the James River here in Va., and I'm not sure how to use this technique. Perhaps using the trolling motor to slow me down?
@Catfishedge9 жыл бұрын
Yes, nose into the current ahead of your hold and use trolling motor to hold you and slowly move back over the holes with current Bovus13

Do you sell those rods somewhere locally, I'm also in Fort Worth and would like one but don't want to pay $25 shipping.
@Catfishedge4 жыл бұрын
Shipping is free for any order over $100 with rods. You can get them at Scheels in The Colony but I'd call first. whiskerseeker.com/SHIPPING

Do you drift on the bottom or what depth do you set your line?
@Catfishedge4 жыл бұрын
Weight on bottom, bait goes where the fish are.

In your opinion when is the correct time to anchor fish instead of drifting I drift bout 95% of the time. . Here lately not been having much luck with water around 50 should i be anchor fishing ?
@Catfishedge7 жыл бұрын
Depends a lot on what the fish want and can change by the day. At 50 degrees you should be able to catch fish drifting. Just keep in mind that as water temperatures cool down the fish metabolism does as well so they'll get lethargic and won't be as aggressive chasing baits so speed is everything. Slow it down and see what happens.

Yea i have slowed down. Sumner time 65+ i drift around .5mph and i have slowed down to around .3mph some time .2mph. I caught a lot of fish over 40lb this spring - fall but since November i have only caught 1 over 30lb and maybe 15 fish total on about 10 trips . I have really scratching my head . Tried Fresh skipjack Fresh shad froze shad froze skipjack . Small heads big heads small chunck big chunks . Everything i know with no luck at all . Their is something that im doing wrong just don't know what it is lol Thanks.
