I'd Call This Catching

Its a lot of fun to find these white bass stacked up like this.

[@basicshaungizmoali2151]

You know what I like about your channel. It reminds me of watching swamp people, something relateable. and not phony or staged. We really get 100% you & catfishing from you..🤘🏾🤙🏾

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you I truly appreciate that. Not really sure if I could do it any other way.

[@royschlickeisen2539]

👍👍👍👍👍great bait 🎣video

[@jonstokes3122]

Great stuff 🎣I really enjoy your channel!

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you I appreciate that.

[@shoalscatfishjonathan]

That was fun, I agree catching is a lot more fun than fishing. 👍

[@mickaburkhart14]

😆 yeah it is.

[@sethredding1233]

Hey man! I’m super happy I found out you had a channel through Spencer’s channel. Me and my buddies love cat fishing and we are trying to get as good as you guys are. I bought your signature rod 2 days before you broke your own record lol! Keep up these awesome videos I always appreciate the advice you and Spencer give to make me a better fisherman. Tight lines!

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. I truly appreciate your support here on the channel and for getting one of my rods. Welcome to the channel.

[@bjcoutdoors]

Catching bait is where the fun starts lol wish we could use white bass here in Alabama. great job brother👍

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. Yeah it's the important part but also sometimes the funnest.

[@jutnjenrasmussen8637]

Great day catching right there man! 👍 don’t forget the limit is only 15 now. Used to be 20 or 30 but they changed it

[@mickaburkhart14]

Yeah I never really keep more than 10 or 11. Plenty for me or the fish. Lol.

[@billydelong7372]

8 to 10in is what I like to keep.

[@tommymadden9746]

I have eaten white bass didn't find them to be as good as my favorite fish the bluegill. Keep up the good work.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. Yeah I agree between the two I would take bluegill also.

[@greenpighunter6930]

What a sad situation. I feel real bad for you.😆

[@mickaburkhart14]

Lol

[@FightinChanceFishing]

Enjoy easy bait days & forget those harder days

[@mickaburkhart14]

That's right 😆

[@jerryatterberry5863]

Love all your videos buddy, especially the educational ones. Thanks Micka

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. I really do appreciate that.

[@user-xv9bi3ne9m]

I agree fresh. Bait is the best. Catching the bait is a bonus to the actual catfishing. You can have just as much fun. Be blessed. My friend.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. Yeah that's very true. I enjoy catching bait just as much as the big cats.

[@fishintherutt3897]

Its always fun getting on them white bass! What lure you throwing?

[@mickaburkhart14]

Yeah it is. I'm using a blade bait.

[@XxITzCHAOSxX]

Thank you for all the great tips!

[@mickaburkhart14]

You are very welcome. Thank you for your support.

[@madchhits]

Another good video !! Catching white bass like that brings back memories on Lake Barkley .

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. Yeah they are so much fun this time of year.

[@CRAPPIEfishin]

What would you charge to take me out and catch some skipjack? None in NC

[@mickaburkhart14]

I wouldn't charge you anything. Chances are I'd be going out anyway lol.

[@markybob_bassplaya1462]

Thanks Micka. Looking forward to your techniques for shallower water, pre-spawn (April) cats. I like to drag, but shallow water drags and me don't get along due to all of the hang-ups and lack of consistent 10 foot water where I fish, so looking forward to your techniques. They are fun to catch shallow, those planer boards shoot off like being fired out of the gun.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Absolutely. I'm gonna get up there and see if I can figure them out.

[@OWAJeremey]

There fun to catch. Nice video.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Yeah they are. Thank you

[@bradbex9051]

very good info on using bait that is currently spawning. never looked at it like that.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Yeah it's definitely a good indicator of what to use. That being said it doesn't always work that particular day but have had pretty good luck sticking with that plan.

[@dimitrih441]

What will it take for you to take me out fishing with you?

[@trinityoutdoors]

To be a good catfisherman you have to be a good bait fisherman. Great video brother

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you and that's very true.

[@calvinhoward2407]

Looked like a blade bait

[@mickaburkhart14]

Yep that's exactly what it was.

[@DaleWyman]

Just curious, what did you have for water temperature?

[@mickaburkhart14]

We are at 55 to 56 degrees.

[@DaleWyman]

Same here in NC. @@mickaburkhart14

[@ghost38901]

How long would you say can use your trolling motor to stay spot locked? Are you running lithiums?

[@mickaburkhart14]

Yep running lithiums. I can get 3 days worth out of them before I think about changing them. That's spot locking all day or dragging baits.

[@ghost38901]

@@mickaburkhart14 mind telling me which lithiums you are using?

[@jonriggs7137]

What boat u running

[@mickaburkhart14]

I have the lowe catfish 20. It's now called something different for this year.
