JUG FISHING for Catfish in NEW Jon Boat

[@MysteryTackleBox]

I love hearing that "welcome back fishin' freaks"

I believe he's enjoying his new boat

[@aquariumaddict]

Proof that you don't really need a 50k bass boat to enjoy a day on the lake.

[@carldupre9865]

a year ago i sold both of my big boats ( 20ft and 32ft). bout a 1542 with a 15hp... best move i ever made!!

[@MaryBrownForFreedom]

@@aquariumaddict I fished for year form an Alumacraft T-14, basically an over grown canoe! Boat itself was 120 pounds, I slid it in the back of the pickup solo a lot! 15hp Johnson that would idle so slow you could watch the prop kick over. Mainly fished northern pike and walleye so slow trolling was key. Spent thousands of hours in that boat in some pretty dang big waves at times. I was fishing at the same time a bass tournament was going on and we had a gale blow up. To get back into the bay where the boat ramp was you had to funnel through a narrow channel and the waves were swamping the bass boats trying to get in. I rode the throttle and surfed the face of a wave until I got into the bay and it dissipated! Sometimes a smaller boat has advantages! I would have probably swamped if I got sideways but who tries to turn in waves that are 5' tall?

[@the_fisherman_of_fish8121]

Love it...more catfish videos. My boss caught me watching this video and he just sat down with me and finished watch it. Lol

[@humbleclay79]

I might be crazy, but I like the john boat videos better than the bass boat ones. Nostalgia maybe.

Best technique to catch blue cats... do a collab with catfishandcarp!

That is a good time for sure.

Back to the jug lines! WHISKER BISCUITS!!!!! Golden crispies!! Gotta name it the Dangle Dingy

[@jeremynewhouse6530]

I follow lots of fishing and outdoor creators and can say for sure you are the same as you were when I found your channel years ago. Some guys changed and to be honest it isn’t for the best in my opinion. Thank you so much for providing a few minutes of peace and enjoyment for me. I hope you continue to grow and I will keep your family in my prayers.

[@tterryshenanigans1820]

This is hands down the happiest I've seen you in a video for some time. Looked that boat took you back to what got you started down this road.

[@Apex25000]

Every man needs a little boat for this reason. So much fun can be had!

Loving these vids with the new Jon boat

[@dlbmpb]

The last jug video with Lunkers was epic, Love it when that bass is pulled up. Best video ever. Youre too cool LFG

Loving the Dangle Dhingy! Looks fun...

[@aquariumaddict]

I voted for this one.

[@SledorFish]

The Dangly?

[@CaydenKohutek]

Great video. Blue Catfish can be tricky but shallow water with structure next to deep water and casting into both is usually good. Helps to have good fresh bait like shad.

[@MrGibsn1960]

First comment ever... the most fun I've ever had was in a jon boat. I actually inherited a 1985 17 ft duracraft w a 90 hp yammy on it. I've gotten it completely reworked and my brother and I use it for everything. If you're ever interested in frogging in lake Houston when the weather gets right, let me know! Proud supporter of "Make Every Cast Count". Cheers to good times!

[@goindownhill1116]

That Flat Rat Dinghy is a nice addition to your channel. I enjoy watching you catch a variety of fish. Bass are nice too, but they’re not the only fish in the sea. Nice video. Thanks

[@mikes.4170]

I love watching your videos. Due to poor health I can’t go fishing anymore. But with a little good luck and the grace of God maybe that will change. I now do my fishing through watching your channel. Maybe one day we could fish together. I know about your health struggles and I pray for you often. Hang in there my friend. I live in south Louisiana where fishing is a way of life. Keep the videos coming. PLEASE !!!!!

[@baileydaniel1741]

We use similar jugs to you but we fish 1 hook a few feet off the bottom. We always big blues on cut mullet or beef liver.

[@willwhitaker534]

Bailey Daniel we use live bluegill at midnight let them sit for a few hours and catch 20-75 flatheads or blues

[@xavierdaniels8923]

That jingle needs to go on a shirt

[@039kings]

Brooo that’s what I’m saying that freakin jingle was dope as hell!! I hit rewind like 10 times lol

[@mikegallander1754]

just regular ol fishing....cut lines,mixed catch...loved it

[@GouletJohnny]

I think that's the best jingle I've heard from you!!! First time I've gone back to listen to a jingle over and over.

[@TheUpinsmoke10]

Big hook, big baits, catch big blues. I love my John boat!

[@jarodmorris611]

This summer I sold my John boat with a 25hp motor. Your recent videos are making me miss it so much.

[@andrewhelton2373]

One of the best videos you have put out in a long time! Loving it!

[@brendankent3845]

Where I’m from in Georgia we’ve always set cat lines on tree limbs hanging over the water and just hook a whole brim about the size of your hand. I’ve caught some monsters doing it

[@stephenshamp2482]

That was one Sow Bellied channel cat The Dangle Wrangler is running Awesome! Great vid LFG

[@danschwab9951]

The Dangle Dingy! Love it! My vote, hands down :)

[@jakedewald]

We've done pretty well with all beef hot dogs. Letting them drift in the spring in 65 degree water gets us a lot. First thing in the morning is the best time. On good days, we can have 150lbs of fish and be off the lake by lunch.

[@ThePerfectComboFishing]

Catfish and white bass are amazing but homemade pizza waiting on you after a day on the water is definitely worth putting a delay on 'em.

[@jarodcurley807]

these Jon boat chronicles are the best lfg vlogs yet!!!!!

[@kpoutdoors1827]

A shallow wind blown flat is where your gonna find the blues, they school up nice this time of year. Also spend 30 to 45 minutes is a spot then move if it’s not producing fish. We dig your vids here in Oklahoma keep it LFG

[@averymccain7251]

Maybe try some live perch for the blues and yellows.

[@MaryBrownForFreedom]

Fishing the local river in Minnesota we use 6-8 inch creek chubs(interesting casting a 1 pound bait and 4 oz's of lead weights to hold it down) hooked through the snout. My best blue catfish so far is a 50 pounder.

[@averymccain7251]

Mary Brown yeah here in Texas I always do 2 hook lines top one gets a shiner hooked dead and the bottom hook a live perch hooked right under the top spines. Like you we find that the bigger the bait the bigger the fish too! Cheers and hope you beat that 50 pounder!

[@TheGrizzlyHillbilly]

We need some more Rackley & Rob adventures! As for catfishin I use 6-12ft cane/cut poles. Use brown bamboo or hang green bamboo for at least a week. Use a knife instead of a machete to limb the bamboo. My main bait for catfish is Shrimp (not bait shrimp but stuff yud eat) or Sour gummy worms yes I'm serious. Best of luck!

[@quintenbullard6815]

If you throw the jug back in the water it helps with the mess and hooks out of the boat. I use 2 liter pop bottles stuffed with styrofoam because you can tell if there’s a fish on. They don’t stay up.

[@normalwhitedude]

RT moving up in the world, got himself a Jon boat. Those yellow sunglasses man making me think of good old RT.

[@markmonse5285]

Glad to hear your good news on the brain tumor. I have a nephew in Houston dealing with a stage-4 tumor on his brain stem and I can only continue to hope and pray that he has an optimistic outcome more like your progress appears. If you're looking to keep critters out of your house, Critter Control is the best outfit I've found, and they discovered more access points than I could ever imagined.

[@caseywebb5178]

Loved the job boat jingle..

[@trevorholland7]

Trout lines next? Nothing like going to a trout line and and feeling the fish fight as your pulling down the line hook after hook or fish after fish

[@g-note5614]

Drift that creek bed with cut fresh BIG pieces of shad using the Santee Cooper rig keeping the bait afloat and drifting the creek bed with ya!

[@BarFlyFishingTexas]

I use those same type jug lines, But I let mine drift. I set them at different depths, as they drift back into coves and stuff, when the weight hits bottom they stop drifting. I’ll use either whole shad, or Chicken gizzards coated with garlic salt. I didn’t think that would work but it works really good for the bigger blues. I’ve caught 3, 15 pounders just this fall on chicken gizzards with garlic salt. I chase the noodles in my kayak. I fish them like rods. I don’t bait them and leave them, Usually they get bit quick if you use the right bait and let them drift. I have a couple videos on here of me using them. I don’t always carry my GoPro so I miss some nice hook ups, but my filming is just for fun, so I don’t always worry about it. You were asking about big blues, big bait gets big fish. If you put little chunks on there you’re going to get channels. Bluegill or gizzad Shad Heads work best.

[@hillbillyhippie597]

Awesome Jon Boat!! I love these jug line videos. We can’t do this type of fishing or trot lines in California. 🎣

[@nascarmommam5915]

Oh so enjoyed going along for the ride, Awesome white Bass. ~ Texas

[@MaryBrownForFreedom]

Zinc wheel weights from cars make good weights too. I save the lead wheel weights for casting bullets! Big blues I use a 6-8 inch live bait hooked thru the mouth on a decent sized hook(4/0) that is tied to the end of the line with a split shot about 3 feet up and 2-4 ounces(depends on current) of lead rigged slip sinker style(I use a snap on bell sinker with the plastic snap) above the split shot that acts as a stop to keep the bait from floating to high up. Chuck it out and wait. We usually fish this at night and listen to the radio. This is river bank fishing style but you could adapt it to jug fishing. Key is LIVE bait, it has to be moving. Blues are predators and mainly eat live bait.

[@CaptBarry]

We use beef hearts for blue cats jugging in South Louisiana . During hunting season duck hearts and guts are killer bait

[@cadebagley1098]

I love the video. The best method for blue cats I use is very simple. I set a whole of half bluegill on a large circle hook. Then I have an 18 inch Fluor leader from the main line with a 1 to 2 oz weight. I set the baits in about 15 to 25 feet of water. I hope this is a helpful tip.

[@ronniedurbin3295]

Here in Kentucky, when I fish for blues, fish 20 to 30 feet of water. The fish will suspend about 1/2 way. Around 10 to 12 feet. I always fish out in open water. They do school where I fish. Taylorsville lake. Good luck!!!

[@oakbottomproduction]

Catfishin on the bottom, anchor down and toss a carolina rig with a circle hook with some shrimp!

[@curbee6617]

Seeing how happy LFG gets when he hammers down on the throttle makes me happy

[@MaryBrownForFreedom]

Nothing like flying in a small boat, I could get my alumacraft T-14 u to 28mph with just me in it, all that was in the water was the back foot of the hull and the motor, rest was up on plane and catching air! Fun times ripping across the lake.

[@OutofWORKoutdoors]

Tin boats for the win. You just seem to enjoy fishing more when you ain't worried about scratching anything

[@livingwildandfree2885]

We use the 2-liter bottle style rigs, equipped with bottom rig set up. We take the paper off and stick a bunch of glow sticks in the bottle, works great a night. A 2 oz weight will set the bottle just barely on its side. So if anything hits it, it will stand straight up. We mainly do it at night, but we have a blast doing it. I'll post a video showing what we do sometime when it warms up just a tad. The shad fishing is about to take off in my area. Then the rock fish, so after that I'll start putting a hurting on the cat fish. Yee!! Yee!!

[@ksoutdoorsports]

We need a new Jon boat jingle every trip dude! You need to try chicken strips cut to about 3" soaked in Strawberry Koolaid over night. Its legit, its dope for whiskers. I've see the result, be that guy....guy. LOL

[@fishinfinaddictyttv3122]

Hey buddy if you catch some big shad and fish big chunks where big blue cats live, you're bound to catch em. Using appropriate gear will definitely help as well. As for finding em just look for bait they will follow shad schools. Obvious locations usually produce, sandbars and ledges are great, as are humps and points. Usually wind has a factor as well and keep your baits fresh! Tight lines and good dangles

[@patricksughrue9386]

That boat and those sunglasses scream nascar to me for some reason lol funny vlog brother keep it up 👍

[@tylercoleman7580]

I like the new boat! Glad you were able to get a catfish on your first outing.

[@brandonriddle7928]

For big blues I use big shad, cut drum, and big bream.

[@StopFishingStartCatching]

Love big bream...especially in the river brotha!

[@FLORAjer]

Can’t wait for the next one! Love these Jon boat vidjas man!

[@rowdybroomstick1216]

Hey Justin you mentioned wanting comments on catfishing, so here it goes if you lip hook live bait or dorsal fin hook live bait on your lines you'll catch flat head instead of the bottom feeders blue's. Flat heads are brendel pattern and way better to eat because they only eat live stuff.

[@StopFishingStartCatching]

Nice tip brotha! Love catching/noodlin flatheads

[@CoreyMorrisFishing]

If you can get in some Timber with a safe creek channel through it with some depth get a trot line that goes across the creek channel. Attach both ends to to a stump on each side of the creek channel and try to get the trot line to get down deep. I have caught many 50+ pounders with this technique on lake ray Hubbard oh and use live blue gill and let it sit over night and check it the next morning

[@FatBoyDan]

Now thats my type of fishing. Catfishing and jug fishing is the life i live with pand and bass fishing. Each state laws are different. my stat of indiana no jug fishing on lakes and while on the river we must be able to see the jugs at all times. you should try bank poles. when yall ready ,come spring 2020 the wabash river in terre haute indiana and my Mudd Duck boat is ready.

[@reginaramsey3120]

For big blues I use a trot line with a hole shadstart at the eye and thread it on

[@JoseAlvarado-bx3vo]

Nice, I use bluegill for bait o cut shad , the lake that I go fishing I believe is one of the best for big cats.

[@d.mushroomhunter3528]

Hey LFG.. I still think you should name the boat "Catfish Hunter" after the fish they're chasing in grumpy old men!! one of the best fishing themed movies ever lol! PS catfish Hunter was a famous baseball player!

[@BigDummy01]

Hey LFG my advice would be to put those lines out near steep drop offs and some sort of tree cover

[@willkremers5591]

Live bluegills has always been my bait of choice. Caught a lot of big blues and flatheads on them

[@damascusreels4849]

I love how he has to be clear about “one rod one reel” I even thought he had a guest 😂

[@joshtalbott9389]

We fish the Guadalupe river a lot drop lines with gold fish and big gizzard shad cut and sometimes whole catch the 10 to 40 pounders

[@bobbygreen2291]

The way you catch big blues is use the head of that white bass for bait on a 10 or 11 ought circle hook

[@BassGeek]

Man The little boat is paying off.

[@BSFishing]

My dad and his friend took me jug fishing in the summer at lake lewisville and we caught a 4 ft gar

[@ssoutdoors9828]

One of my favorite blue catfish baits is shrimp. Just put it on a circle hook near the bottom and you will catch some.

G'day LFG here in Australia most of us use well we call them tinnys try holding on to rod when a 40 to 60lb Murray cod hits it's not easy go. Straight to middle of the river and hang on we have so many snags and old trees. IN THE WATER we are all ways hitting longs SO A BIG COD HITS LIKE THAT some times the boat will stop dead.

[@centralbears3010]

Newby here. nice atmosphere. Give me the scoop on purchasing a 16' jon boat. i think allweld and a jamaha make a good combo. Reliability, practical, good time fishing on any lake is what i want with a child. speed and fish finder is not necessary......

[@cmffowler7769]

Well a trick for me that usually works for me is use pretty much the same set up that you have. Then get predominantly larger shad and cut the head off a little bit behind the black dot and only use the heads not any of the other parts and try to hide the hook as much as possible. And another trick is if your jug is close to the bank and you usually fish that area then take a some dog food and throw a couple of scoops in the water around where your jug is and putting dog food out at your dock at a pond or lake. Take some 2-3 inch wide piece of PBC pipe and drill 1/2 inch holes going down to the bottom of it and closing the bottom off of the pipe.

[@hookedonprjonrojas2314]

Funny, as soon as you mentioned the jugs I remembered that huge bass. Good times
