Pretty funny, I was there yesterday with my grandson, and I can see my truck in the background several places in your video. We were over on the big lake, across the road and down closer to Casa Corner. We did pretty good too, using cut anchovies. Tried the mealworms and marshmallows, and I think we got one on that but the anchovies were definitely better. Will have to try shrimp if I go out there again. You were lucky to get the limit by 9:30. The bite went dead before 10:00 so we split. I was working to get my grandson bit (7 yo) so was not fishing very efficiently. He was super excited to get his first big fish, and first cat too. I saw another video and a guy pulled in a 35# later in the day. Now I feel like I know you, ha ha, so I am subscriber 499. See you on the lake.

[@pokedad.fishes]

I actually remember seeing you and your grandson across the way. Saw his reeling in a fish like a pro. Glad you guys were able to get some fish. Thank you for the sun, definitely will see you out there. 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@briandavid2096]

What is your line setup for catfish? Hooks size, Carolina rig? Any tips for a beginner

[@pokedad.fishes]

I actually just finished a Catfish Guide video. I'll have it up well before catfish season. 🤙🏽

[@josezura1808]

[@pokedad.fishes]

[@noedelatorre6597]

Good job man fishing 🎣

[@pokedad.fishes]

Thank you brother!

[@gskier6991]

Nice meeting you today at SARL. Hope you had some luck.

[@pokedad.fishes]

Nice meeting you too brother! Bite died down big time after you left. Didn’t see anyone catch anything. Gonna try for some redemption on Sunday with the kiddos.

[@opening_city]

what oil do you use

[@pokedad.fishes]

I use bite on and bang in garlic scent.

[@fishingfieldtrips]

Getting them stuck on that lake/river weed is a “drag.” 😂😂😂

[@pokedad.fishes]

Lol seriously! Such a "drag" haha!

[@dcfishingforlife]

Awesome catch!

[@pokedad.fishes]

Thank you brother!

[@poundsonwood]

What was the oil you were applying to the shrimp?

[@pokedad.fishes]

I was using Bite On Garlic Attractant.

[@dcfishingforlife]

Man I feel ya! Been there 6 times and zero fish! Kinda sucks but it's fishing. Glad you got a limit!

[@pokedad.fishes]

Seriously! Can be rough at that lake sometimes. Made plenty of “donations” to the lake this year. 🤣

[@dcfishingforlife]

@pokedad.fishes for reals! Might give it another try soon. But idk.

[@curtiswindingjr.]

came out here this last weekend with my family and caught three cats! stayed from about 7:30am to about 4pm. Primarily fished with nightcrawler/ marshmallows, definetly gonna have to try this shrimp out next time! do you fish with them raw or cooked? We noticed that the bites slowed down during the afternoon and picked up again in the evening. what time do you think is ideal for catching catfish here st this lake? ands lastly! what oil are you putting on the bait before you cast out?

[@pokedad.fishes]

Glad you were able to get on some fish brother. Definitely raw over cooked. I prefer to but them with the shell on and then defrost as you use them in the lake water. Should only take less than a minute to defrost. Then I just peel most of the shell off then I use Bite On Garlic Oil. Let it sit for about a minute or so before casting out. I've noticed the best action seems to be first thing in the morning or just as the evening session starts around 4pm. Good luck out there.

[@billyb9067]

You need to release some live glass shrimp in that pond to help eat the algae and provide extra feed for the stocked fish 🎣

[@FredyReyes-n5s]

Are you using your trout rods? And what lb line are you using? Nice catches might go try my luck. Keep posting vids bro

[@pokedad.fishes]

They used to be my trout rods but now I use lighter weight rods. I use 6lbs test on these. I like to fish lighter line. Good luck out there brother! Get there early and watch the stocking video (Thursday) to get an idea of where they stock. 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@FredyReyes-n5s]

@@pokedad.fishes I noticed you catch with light line. I’ve had no luck this season. But I’m ready to slay them trout. I appreciate the advice and for teaching. Many others don’t teach. Thank you and enjoy your day brother
