I Love Prespawn Fish

Was a pretty good day. I was out trying to figure out about what stage these fish are at with the spawn. Still think some are up but it looks like another good wave is about ready.

[@thefishingwolf6811]

Its pretty nice. I sit here and reel in all these fish, and you net them and dehook em, and throw em back. Thanks

[@mickaburkhart14]

😆 no problem

[@ronaldburnett3078]

Mika man you make some of the best videos I really enjoy your stuff now your fishing deep during the spawn I always thought the shallows were the place to catch spawning fish

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you for that. Yes absolutely shallow is great for catching spawning fish. But I don't chase them when they are up spawning because we'll they are spawning lol. Don't want to risk ruining a nest or future catfish.

[@GAFisherman]

Really good quality video. Thanks for sharing.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you

[@michaelknight9112]

Great video great day of fishing looks like a nice quite day best fishing there is

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. Yeah it definitely was a pretty good day.

[@STR8KRAZYFISHING]

Best KZbin videos. I love watching your content brother 😁👊💪

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. That definitely means alot.

[@DaleWyman]

Minus the 30 & 40, I had pretty much the same conditions (low flow) yesterday. All my fish looked to be males. I had one good take down that may have been a female, but I rushed the hook-set and didn’t get the hook in well enough. I have committed this spring and early summer to catfishing. In the years past, I was always targeting bass & crappie. This is basically my second year of targeting catfish. The rivers I fish are much smaller and shallower than those you fish, but they still hold some decent size fish.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Yeah it's a different animal than bass or crappie. But it sure is fun when you get it figured out.

[@DaleWyman]

@@mickaburkhart14 I’m working on it. 🎣

[@beverlycurry4370]

I love watching this one ❤

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you

[@beverlycurry4370]

[@trinityoutdoors]

Another great video keep them coming

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you.

[@HomesickforAlaska]

You put out great content

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. I truly appreciate that.

[@markybob_bassplaya1462]

Well done Micka! Water temps got high over here in E TN, seems like they are starting spawn full blast. Switching to nothing but anchoring fishing for Flatheads until mid June.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Yeah gonna do some of that myself.

[@catfishjunkie4514]

I got a app called marine traffic I use to locate barge traffic on the mississippi river it show real time

[@mickaburkhart14]

I will have to use that for sure . Thank you

[@user-wd9jg5fi3m]

Nice fish micka

[@bjcoutdoors]

Awesome video brother. Them pre spawners sure are mean 😂 enjoyed it 👍

[@mickaburkhart14]

Lol thank you. Yeah they are.

[@garrygank163]

Thanks for the new vid micka!

[@mickaburkhart14]

Lol your welcome. Thank you for your support.

[@larrytraylor6910]

I went this morning. Tried to catch fresh bait and white bass but couldn't find them. But had none I tried live bait but no hits. For some reason I just can't find the white bass to use as bait.

[@mickaburkhart14]

They are pretty scattered right now. The ones I caught where spawned out. And I was just making random cast down a bank. Ran into a few.

[@catfishjunkie4514]

I went on a lake water temp was 74 and it was a bad day

[@mickaburkhart14]

Really? Them fish must be in full spawn then.

[@alexplays1007]

Micka, love the videos brother! Came across you on Spencer’s channel and have been binge watching since. Always learning! Curious.. what is the boat that you have? I’m in the market for one and trying to make a decision… anything you would change about it?

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you and welcome to the channel. I have the Lowe Catfish20. They have a new one called the Outlet 20. I help a little with the redesign on that one but they still didn't add the stuff to the live well like I said but its still a good boat.

[@alexplays1007]

@@mickaburkhart14 that’s what I thought! I’ve looked at the catfish 20 several times, my only concern would be the low sides with my little ones. Not sure how I feel about the big wing looking gadget on the outlet!

[@alexscoggins9040]

When you are doing your suspended rod, and the depths are varying, are you adjusting the depth the suspended rod is at?

[@mickaburkhart14]

Yep. Got to watch the depth and adjust accordingly. Like to keep the bait about 2 foot off the bottom.

[@jasongreen6649]

Brother I would love to fish with you one day

[@mickaburkhart14]

We could definitely see if we could make that work.

[@johnmeyer6537]

what are you using to burp the fish

[@mickaburkhart14]

It's a 24" peice of 1/2" pvc pipe with some random holes drilled in one end of it.

[@danielfuller1212]

We're you dragging up stream or down stream?

[@mickaburkhart14]

I always drag against the current.
