Hey Justin!! When you are short on bait as you were in this particular trip, would it hurt to pre-cut some of your skipjack and place it back into the bag? This way, instead of just throwing your used head pieces into the kayak for possible use later, you can throw them into the bloody bag of bait to infuse them with more blood and oil.

Justin, question please. You always say fish the ledge on a creek channel in a lake if possible or maybe the ledge of the lake itself if no creek channel? The question is before the drop off, on the drop or right when it hits deeper water? As always, proud of you Brother

I always try to work the break lines. Some ledges will have multiple break lines. I typically focus on the deepest one most of the time.

Locally (South Africa) you can buy some interesting street food, with interesting names: chicken feet "runners", sheep's head "smiliey" (because of the grin) and chicken feet & heads "walky-talkies" - all cooked on the side of the road. As kids we used sparrows for catfish bait.

Hey Justin my wife recently bought me a Garmin Striker 4 fish finder. I was wondering how you were taught, or learned the difference between fish and debris in the water! I’m 15 minutes in, and ready to relax and watch the show!
@KayakCatfish4 ай бұрын
I’m definitely not an expert on the graphs but the fish are pretty obvious on my unit compared to debris. I have never used the model you have so I’m not sure what they look like on there.
@latishajaubert56004 ай бұрын
That Garmin 4 is not nothing like his. It shows air bladder also everything you see is past you a bit. Unless you run the sonor directly under the vessel, like ice fishing. I'm still learning mine and it's been 2 years. I just put my bait in areas that simulate what I past. Water depth,temp and blimps on screen. I wish I could afford live scope or even side scope ,but I'm poor lol but love to fish. Also I know I couldn't even put one of his cats in my yak lol. Heavy fish is all he catches not the little babies I catch.

I think those big catfish are used to getting spined in the mouth by the bait fish they eat. That is why they sometimes don't react to the hook. It is not until they realize that they are being pulled to the surface do they really start fighting hard.

It was stuck in the floating debris that night but the next morning it was gone.
