@Louis Jaxtyn i really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and Im in the hacking process now. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

I have to say that I love the way you and Landon share with that cat and it shows that you’re a good couple of guys that cats not one bit afraid of you thumbs up. GOD bless looking forward to the next video thank you

[@JozietheTexasLegend]

Literally one of the best Shad videos I’ve ever seen. My biggest struggle is catching bait man. I feel like I just learned something.

[@Lanny-io9bi]

Hagen just pulled off taking a cat on a ride to get after some catfish and has the ability to throw perfect pancakes in the eye of a tornado 😮

Good job and thanks for the info. I got a new boat and new hook 9 finder. I didn’t know what they’d look like. I’m wanting shad for bass fishing.

Love the videos! Is that the xi3 or 5? Do you recommend it? I am building out a pontoon for catfishing and need a trolling motor

[@JarrydMitchell]

I want me a boat kitty!! Very nice shad haul!

[@gregtrent5068]

Wow what a score on those Shad. Wish I could throw a 9 foot donut like that. I had to go to a 4 foot to get a good round cast. Thanks for the info.

[@troyhavins3522]

Thanks

[@ronalddills4566]

Shad are always at bridges during the winter time. You can catch plenty of what I call horse shed van anytime in the winter time.😊

[@flippindocks8183]

Great video! Need more "shad catching" videos please.

[@braydencolvinmusic5649]

That was a lot of shad! Great video!

This is a great video on catching shad in the winter.

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

Thank you

[@ckkendrick7861]

Well what if i dont have a good depth finder or side scanner, how do i find the shad when the water is cold, are they normally in shallow or deep water

[@donniedickerson8077]

Good Job With That 9' net ,,, LoL That Cat Is Thinking He Is In heaven with a those on the deck lol ,, Good Job Keep ya lines tight ,,

Now I just need to lean how to use my electronics. Awesome video!

[@riverhawk203]

Good stuff guys

[@dfishman76]

Good job on catching Shad. Wish we could find them like that on my home lake

[@slimeboogercatfishcrew4951]

I really like your channel alot. You and Landon are definitely my favorite team out there and you' keep it simple just like me and my son do. We live in Ohio and fish the Ohio river when we aren't working. We just got our boat this year so it's not 100% the way I want it yet but we are close. I need a bait tank but I don't want to spend 700 bucks. What kind do you use and what pump system? Thanks for making the videos we have fun watching Landon reel in the big ones lol

[@westwardbound2352]

Can you tell me what the model your Garmin is and which transducer you use?

[@Mrbartone19651]

Hi Hagen! I had a question? That propane tank on your boat for your heat. Is that the 30# tank approximately 23.4 inch height? I wanted one a little bigger than the smaller 20# and noticed yours was a little taller than the smaller one. And how many hours will it last on high? Thanks bud! Bart Taylor #PopsCatFishing Kentucky/Ohio

[@davidbalderston2751]

I invested in a good pair of neoprene gloves and bibb waterproof pants when I was catching bait in the winter. I fished Lake Lanier in Georgia and discovered that the shad as well as blueback herring schooled in the backs of creeks where the water was stained and shallower. I assume it had to do with the slightly higher temperature of the water there.

[@joseph.stewart]

How did you get the water hose setup?

[@outdoorsinindianawithdaves9826]

Great informative video

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

Thank you

[@stevevest7344]

Produced 40s& 50s. Even a 60 in kayaks division last year.

[@fouziachowdhury2050]

Beautiful

[@GodWillRepay]

Tape nets are very useful as well. I catch Shad using Livescope. I use side scan and sonar to find big schools and then circle back using Livescope. Nothing like watching that net descend down over a school! Then when you see the shimmer of fish in the net it’s heaven! Do yourself a favor, take a day and just go find Shad. Usually you find them right when you are about to give up. Also, just because you can’t see fish(not Shad) doesn’t mean they aren’t there! If they are hugging the bottom you won’t see them on your display, but they are typically under those large schools of Shad. Also, use cut bait and live until you know what they want. Chum chum chum! A bad day on the water is better than a good day at work!

[@chrishallauer8444]

Did you set up your sonar? Mine looks nothing like that. I haven’t seen a bait ball like that at all.

[@josephlassiter1412]

What reels do you use ?

[@TimIrvin]

I have NEVER seen a video that explains how to read the electronics. I was sitting here screaming, "WAIT! WAIT! how do you know if they are on the right or the left, how do you know where to throw the net? It does no good to throw the net where there aren't any fish!" Great Video! Do more!

[@240LTS]

... By the time you see them on the side scan they are PAST the boat (behind it). Hit a way point on the school. Turn the boat around. Ease to the waypoint and get within cast net range of where you think they are and let the net fly. . Jeff . .

[@Daniel5714]

Love the Cat

[@MRdugger420]

New Sub Bro!

[@fishin-impossible2992]

Good info Hagen now if I could throw a net.

[@codystanley2760]

Good job y’all

[@PalmettoCats]

Daggum bo! Now, I don't have side scan, so I need to figure out how to find them with downscan. Great video brother.

[@brakemadness]

I like to use side scan to find them. Then instead of guessing about where 70’ or whatever is....I’ll head towards the school and switch to 2D. That leaves no doubt when and exactly where to throw.

[@leahzeiters8905]

Catfish Dave or Catfish Kayak shouted you out not long ago. Way to go!!

[@huskergator9479]

@Leah Zeiters - Glad you said that, Leah! It was Dave. Very nice shout out about our Mr. Grubbs. Keep up the great work Hagen & Landon!

[@m.g.sledge1160]

Great video! Any recommendations for a bank fisherman? I’ve been throwing off the docks into the deepest water I can find but Im not sure if that’ll keep working as it gets colder

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

Boat ramps are a great place to catch them from the bank, as long as it’s not being used heavily at the time. Especially on a sunny day. Thank you for watching

[@FishingWithChris_Tv]

I’d crap a gold brick if I got a single net of shad like that lol

[@danieltunks]

When you fish taylorsville lake during the summer months once the water has hit 80. Do you normally drift above the thermocline or anchor up in spots shallow enough not to have one?

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

I do both but I have had better results fishing above the thermocline under planer boards. I plan on making a video about that this summer. Thank you for watching👍

[@dwheeler016]

Nice Gato.

[@Davids_United-Fam]

So y'all were at Taylorsville lake in KY.

[@MrNegativetaker]

Any suggestions for those of us without nice electronics?

[@bobbyparker780]

What model is that Garmin fish finder been wanting to update. I have been told the 93sv I think it was is the best to get for the money

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

I have the 93sv plus. I think it was replaced by a 93 uhd that has much better side imaging than what mine has.

[@ClearviewOutdoors]

Great video guys, do you have one on your water pump you were cleaning up with?

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

That is actually just a through hull livewell pump that I just put a short piece of hose on. Not as much pressure as the wash down pumps but gets the job done. It was on the boat when I got it and wasn’t being used for anything so I figured I’d get some use out of it lol. Thanks for watching 👍

[@ClearviewOutdoors]

@@hagengrubbsfishing thank you sir!!!

[@zachwalls461]

That's awsome man you got a cat living under the poop deck

[@p-citysmittycatfishing7160]

Dayyyyuuumm. Wish I could do that.

[@jimfitzgerald9761]

Great information, good mess of bait!

[@billywallis4633]

Dave was right. Great channel

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

Thanks

[@PopPopJoe]

What brand and size net do you prefer using for gizzard shads? Weight size also ?

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

I like a 10’ 1” mesh with 1lb lead per ft. I normally get either the lee fisher joy fish mullet net, the fitec super spreader mullet net or betts mullet net depending on which is cheaper at the time. Here’s a link to a video where I explain nets some more if you would like to check it out. Thank you for watching👍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/ambcZ3pnnJp-d9U

[@Glennpartsequipment]

Nice

[@sliprytrout2926]

Catfish Dave brought me here, i am subbed and i liked

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

Thank you

[@PaulSmith-tf9bn]

I'm having a hard time with my cast net, and it was about 50.00 dollars for a 5ft one. I was wondering if a higher end net opens better or do I need to practice a bit more. Thank you for your time.

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

Sorry for the late reply. The higher quality nets definitely open better. Something that helps a lot is to soak the net in a bucket of water with a few cups of fabric softener. I normally let mine soak for a couple days. It makes the net unbelievably soft and easier to handle. Thank you for watching and good luck👍

[@goyaklarh]

Well done Hagen ! I guess we need a cat for good luck

[@davidsettle8456]

How to o compare taylorsville lake vs river. I was there last month for a deer hunt

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

Taylorsville has a good population of blue cats but it is a very challenging fishery. I prefer the river over the lake personally. Thanks for watching

[@slimeboogercatfishcrew4951]

What kind of bait tank is that? I'm getting ready to buy one but some of them are purdy dang high in price

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

It is a striper soup 26 gallon but as far as I know they are not selling them anymore. You are right, most of them are pricey. Thank you for watching

[@931tow]

My wife and I really enjoy your channel. This was a very helpful episode as well. I noticed you are using a Garmin. I am planning on adding something like this to our Tracker pontoon boat and would like your input on selecting a unit. As far as budget I would prefer $500 to $1000. Any recommendations?

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

In that price range I would go with the garmin echomap uhd 93sv. Great unit for the money. Basically the same thing I have but has been improved and has great imaging. Thank you all for watching

[@931tow]

@@hagengrubbsfishing As luck would have it, Bass pro shop had them on sale and are sold out. Not available for home delivery either...lol I checked all stores in Tennessee, kentucky and Ohio even.... Ebay has them but I think I will wait a month or so and see what comes up... If you happen to come see something new come up let me know if you remember.. Going to try to make it to the catfish conference so might see something there.

[@931tow]

Hope you get this follow up question.. I found the Garmin you suggested for $749 with the GT54UHD Transducer. I see they have discontinued this transducer and the same unit now ships with the GT56UHD Transducer for $1099. In your opinion is it worth that much more money to get the new Transducer or go with the gt54 since I am really a weekend angler until I retire in 2 years.

[@jasoncook9514]

I recognize a local spot in some of your videos, you ever sale frozen bait?

[@nickmayberry4209]

Can you recommend a good all around cast net for a beginner, I'm right handed and have a bad right shoulder so I'm figuring a smaller net would be easier for me but I don't know ?

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

Fitec super spreader gs1000 is a good net and you can get some good deals on them at times. Thanks for watching

[@nickmayberry4209]

@@hagengrubbsfishing thank you

[@davidf4831]

That was a great video. The best I've seen on catching winter gizzard shad. I'm going to order a a 7ft with 5/8 mesh. 7 is the biggest allowed in tx. Then I'm going to lake tawokoni to go for giant winter time blues. I don't have proper sized catfish rod and reels, but I'm not going to use that as an excuse not to try. If they break my equipment, at least I'll have a good story
