That was fun, great cat fish. Thanks for the insight on storm moving in, I am led to believe to fish after the storm. Don't be discriminatory against the small shad. I stack them and with 2 hooks you make a small bait into a large bait. It caught me a 58 and 65 pound blue's. 👍
@mickaburkhart143 ай бұрын
Thank you. Yeah right before the front moves in is a really good time to find some nice fish. I have used multiple small shad on a hook before and like you I have done good with them. Just sometimes if there is good current while it's sitting there they sometimes just spin and trist every thing up. But your right they still make great bait.

With the temperature swings we are having, do you have suggestions on areas to look for blues besides the obvious? Anything you strategically do differently? Thursday it will be 62 here with some sun and last time we had some warm weather I couldn't find any bait and def no catfish. Just wasn't sure in the types of areas to look and ran out of time chasing.
@mickaburkhart143 ай бұрын
Well if it's full sun and the temp gets like that I try finding shallower flats. Usually during mid day till the evening they will move up there. That water temp gets a little warmer and they will seek it out. That's what I would do anyway.

@@mickaburkhart14 well didn't go so hot 😂- caught 3 channels but no blues and nothing to write home about. I didn't have my graph at the console so I had to pick spots from previous trips and use the trolling motor transducer to look for bait so wasn't ideal. Gotta mount the new transducer on the transom this weekend. Was a dummy and pulled it to replace it the day before a fishing day so was 'flying blind' but won't complain. 60 degrees today, sunshine and decent channels 5-8lb range. I'll eventually figure out the blues when the sun is shining and it's warmer. I seem to only catch them on dreary cold days in the river channel. Still a lot to learn for me, only about a year into catfishing so still a rookie at it. Thanks for your tips and advice, just gotta get better and keep learning.
