[@pickle2526]

Eyeball scale was spot on! 👍 Nice video keep up it up!

[@OutsidewithTom]

Gotta calibrate that eyeball scale every now and then. 😁

[@CertifiedFishingNut]

Nice video

[@thomaskass6668]

Hey tom took a number 2 drop shot hook and rigged up some cat fish hair rigs. Fished them on a float rig with cut mackerel. My hook up rate increased dramatically. Every fish lip hooked.

Really enjoyed this Tom, couple bice channel cats there 👍

[@OutsidewithTom]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!

[@DavidWilliams-tr1yx]

I live in upper East Tennessee. Gizzard an threading shad are best here

[@thomaskass6668]

Can't say I ever targeted catfish in the fall. But you got me thinking!. Keep those lines tight

[@OutsidewithTom]

I love those cold water cats!

[@RebelRascalsailor]

Nice video Tom. We don’t have shad in our local lakes so live bluegills are my favorite bait fish for cats (although I have more luck with a blue cheese bread dough that I make). I have a real problem with dead/cut gills in that I catch as many turtles as catfish on them! I suppose that turtles are dormant by this time of year, but do you have any issues with them during the warmer months?

[@OutsidewithTom]

Yep, turtles are always part of the equation. One of the many reasons why I like cold water catfishing.

[@davidgarcia9808]

Those were some good looking cats Tom. Why would the wind change kill the bite?? Thanks for the video

[@OutsidewithTom]

Hard to know for sure. My guess is that the wind change killed the bite on that side of the lake, but likely started a bite on the opposite side. The wind moves the plankton and everything else follows.

[@davidgarcia9808]

That makes sense, I would never of thought of that, from watching your videos I am learning there is a lot more to fishing than just throwing a line into the water with a worm on the end of a hook. @@OutsidewithTom
