Great analogy of fishing a wing dam

[@mikecha1957]

Great info I need to see if it applies to my river.

[@epiccatfish365]

I have fished many spot that are " natural wing dams" and this tactic applies every time. Flatheads, blues, or channel cats where no flats or blues exist

[@mikecha1957]

Great content and info. Also great illustrations, i've always been a learn by seeing type

[@jpslayer2016]

Epic information.

[@epiccatfish365]

I was trying my best not to get too wordy with it.

[@rogercarlson2330]

I was always told that the fish in the up side where active, and the fish below are not active. Is this true?

[@epiccatfish365]

It can be true depending on water levels- I mostly use this technique as an ambush point

[@CatfishCameron]

Great stuff epic👍🏼

[@epiccatfish365]

Thanks Cameron

[@zachwalls461]

Scary watching that water wave like that

[@brakemadness]

Why do you lower your boat past the wing dam then pull back on top of it? How do you fish wing dams that are exposed?

[@epiccatfish365]

Usually when the water is low enough the the wing dams are exposed i fish the tip toward the main channel. I lower it past since lots of wing dams are very wide on the top side and its difficult to guess where the downstream corner, right before the drop off is--without a zero-axis reference point.

[@brakemadness]

@@epiccatfish365 Oh ok. From KC to Lawrence, Kansas our wing dams aren’t that big anymore. I don’t believe they are being maintained.

[@epiccatfish365]

@@brakemadness yeah ive seen lots that are in pretty bad shape but some are surprisingly intact

[@23KCOutdoors]

Nice tips brother im a sponge anything I dont know im not ashamed to know I take it all in and save it

[@brakemadness]

Wing dams are the main structure around Kansas City. Is there anything that makes you decide to fish one before others?

[@epiccatfish365]

Yes there are several factors and those will get covered in future videos because if you change any of the parts of the normal water levels, temperature/time of year, relative physical location, etc, it will effect my decisions. It gets really complex real fast and difficult to explain. When i first started fishing them i picked the deepest dams with the swiftest current during summer normal water. Mark good fish and fish them is the simple answer.

[@brakemadness]

@@epiccatfish365 Thanks..I can’t wait to watch the videos. I have a lot of fish-less trips. When I do catch one usually you have to hold him with two hands.

[@epiccatfish365]

@@brakemadness are you fishing from shore or boat?

[@brakemadness]

@@epiccatfish365 I’m in a boat.

[@epiccatfish365]

@@brakemadness most of the guys im in touch with that fish wing dams from shore and target big fish concentrate on the tips -- (basically the outer third) they focus on the outer scour hole with straight line current.. ive done it in a boat by anchoring near the exposed rock tip but anchoring to the submerged tip if that makes sense
