Important Tips for Spring Catfish

If you are fishing for spring catfish this video has some great tips for catching catfish in the spring.
I discuss the best catfish bait, best locations to catch catfish, and some of the catfish rigs that I use. I like to use cut bait for catfish in the spring. Using cut bait for catfish in the spring seems to be more productive since catfish are feeding aggressively. In this video I am using Hellcat rods with white perch for catfish bait, and I am using Demon Dragon rattles on some of my catfish rigs. Lots of information if you are planning to go catfish fishing this spring.

Have you ever had any issues casting the sc rig? I usually run a Carolina rig when I’m casting out but if I don’t have to switch set ups, that saves a lot of time.

[@walkaboutclive]

Going out after cats a long time away from the lake going to follow some of your advice… going to be fun I hope

[@DieterMelhorn]

Good luck and catch em up!!

[@MikeCostelloOutdoors]

Tips for catching catfish in the Detroit River off the shore?

[@DieterMelhorn]

I'm the wrong guy to ask.....I am clueless about that waterway.

[@Brunnen_Gee]

1:16 Yup, if you're a budget fisherman like I am, just get you a couple/few Berkley Big Game rods and call it a day. They'll pull fish up for you.

[@DieterMelhorn]

Always have enough money left to go fishing, no matter what!

[@jakestarr4718]

i miss the snoopy reels for $5. i caught a ton of fish on them with 12 lb mono and 15 lb braid leaders. even bought a spinning reel for $10 at a pawnshop and still caught more than my buddy with his 100k boat and 20k in gear LOL gear doesn't make you a fisherman, i could out fish him with a stick and string

[@grillforthechill1500]

Great video! I enjoy your content. I always learn something from you.

[@DieterMelhorn]

[@InTheWoods-BullBossQE]

Glad you got your comment issue fixed. They ever tell you what was going on?

[@DieterMelhorn]

Glad they're back....they've been on for a couple of years now...

[@taylorfritz3801]

Looking at the hellcat do you prwfer the medium or medium heavy action and why? My fiah average 10lbs hoping to get into the 20lbers sometime but i cant find them yet. Also how bug was that blue do you think?

[@DieterMelhorn]

Medium action is perfect for you!!

[@taylorfritz3801]

@Dieter Melhorn Fishing im out here drifting right now santee rig with a apex rattle with a chunk of whitebass meat 1mph, killin it but I do want to upgrade my rod, I have a 7' medium heavy ugly stick gx2

[@DieterMelhorn]

@@taylorfritz3801 why upgrade? While I LOVE MY HELLCAT RODS, you can catch any catfish in America with that Ugly Stick.....

[@royschlickeisen2539]

Do you have a link to your neck mount go pro mount?

[@DieterMelhorn]

No, but do a search on Amazon and there are several of them for $15-$25

[@StreakStreak]

Ok so first I want that pink reel. And thst hellcat it’s sitting on. Or I’ll settle for u telling me what that reel is. It’s not abu not lews I don’t think. Is it Shimano or some brand I have never heard of. Either way thst reel had some good juju. Also u need to come to east ky. Figure out cat fishing from the bank for us bc non of is doin any good.

[@DieterMelhorn]

It’s made by Ancient Mariner….

[@darthbeerus3951]

Any suggestions on trying to catch some catfish off the shore of the Detroit River?

[@richiemcglothlin8864]

Why are catfish people switching to the long waits. ? What is the advantage ?

[@iCostiG]

they are designed to not get stuck on the bottom, and if you troll then it’s supposed to ride right over any rocks or debris on bottom

[@user-pr5bv7bq2l]

What is the avg water temp

[@DieterMelhorn]

It’s been upper 60’s kissing 70. The cold snap will likely keep the temps in that range at least another week.

[@user-pr5bv7bq2l]

I am in Delaware tried last weekend nothing. was fishing the Delaware River. than the front came in. 😒

[@rickaudirsch3151]

How are we gonna have a fish fry if you keep throwing them back goofball ???
