Low Water Catfishing | Catching Catfish When The River Level Is Falling

[@chrispfeifer7628]

I'm a Ohio yankee, I'll put a heater any where I can. The hell with the cold. Except, our nights have been getting into the 20s. I'm the opposite of making fun, keep the heater.

[@tedz.]

Croak, croak, croak, croak, that's blue cat for, "Damn Justin, you got me! Let me go! Get me outa here!" A new standard in the Justin dink scale, front camera worthy.

[@coinkeepermetaldetectingmo4]

Awesome video Justin!! This old Northern yankee gal don't care for winter ice fishing. Not when I can sit by the fire and watch you catch fish. Just don't get any better than that. God bless.

[@dereka8041]

Justin has become a BEAST of a cat fisherman! He's been a BEAST! Compared to 2 or 3 years ago, his knowledge of cat fishing has really improved. Now, it's almost like he can call the strike, before it happens.

[@terryspence9326]

Thank you Justin for bringing us a “warm” Catfish video. Not only did he bare the cold weather & wind 1 night but did it twice so we could enjoy what we like ....a good fun packed catfish video. Oh and the 11 thumbs down people are you still butt hurt where he used an a 11” crappie last week. Get over it and give this man some love. Justin goes out on this River day in and day out nights rainy days and never fails to bring us quality fish & fun at least respect him for that. Oh and if you don’t like his videos get the hell out of here and go troll another channel. I tend to like this one weekly! Keep it up Justin!👍👍👍

[@gregnuttall3637]

Thank heavens for heaters and plenty of bait, with that combination you can last a while. And dont forget the snacks.

[@tracytodd8934]

Them Northerners can have this cold! I hate it! I would definitely take a heater if I were to out today! Great video!

[@thesuburbanfisherman2]

It’s cold enough up here lmao

[@pastordavidsmall9457]

I love the night fishing videos....Take me back to my child hood....

[@shadybrady8101]

All the madness going on in the world Justin is out having the time of his life and entertaining us. Not a care in the world reeling in those fish. So jealous Justin. Great video

[@dana44169]

Nice to see you are not getting beat nothing wrong with bringing your own heat

[@bobbynewton9247]

I don't do cold either, I like it warm you caught some pretty blues and flathead was nice also, as always enjoyed thanks for sharing Justin

[@catchcountcostas]

The initial strike is what I really enjoy watching on your channel I can live vicariously through you when I can’t be on the water myself

[@wpjones809]

I love these videos even though I might be the world’s worst cat fisherman. Justin catches more fish on a bad day than I caught all summer. In fact I only caught one 3 pounder the last 15 times I went out. He is just a master and it’s like watching Bob Ross paint.

[@BumbleBeeJunction]

Thanks for putting in the extra time to put us together a good video ! Enjoyed !

[@mrstan3997]

Some nice cats and get the heater on! Thanks for sharing Justin. Take care

[@alanbritt7155]

If you`ll put that heater bottle in a milk crate it will make it more stable and harder to tip over. Where`s the Old Town?

[@KayakCatfish]

I can’t easily fit the crate in front of me. I use it when transporting in the rear tank well of the kayak and my car though

[@KayakCatfish]

I still have the Old Town

[@idabright503]

Illinois Yankee here loving all your videos recently. The heater is my best friend hahah warm and comfortable it is 👍🏻

[@dalehayslip9756]

I don't care what them other you tubers say your about the best out there.Keep up the awesome videos

[@daveh7945]

I wish it was up in the 30's. I get sick of the cold. Please keep the videos coming. long, short, don't care

[@brandonwoodcock4374]

Screw the cold. Im a southern boy and I'm already wishing for spring to get here 😆

[@clarkbreen4634]

I grew up in Michigan and have lived in Florida and Texas for over 40 years and am not going back because of the cold. It is even too cold here in Texas to fish in my kayak so power on Justin

[@thomasjarosz7406]

Justin, Show us the Big Catfish like you do. Stay safe from the corrupt State of Pennsylvania. God bless

[@thomasjarosz7406]

Nice Flathead and Blues God bless

[@DanielBoone337]

I saved this video for the deer stand after work... LOL keepem coming brother!!!!

[@TheClearT.O-911]

Justin THANK YOU, for all your hard work putting these videos out for us.

[@bobhuber6628]

I’ve learned a lot from your channel and try to learn something every time I take my new kayak out. Today I learned your absolutely correct that it’s no fun to fish in the cold. Didn’t get any higher than mid 30’s today. 5+ hours on the water and Ionly got one dink blue to show for it.

[@cheryl.539]

I really enjoy watching this guy. Hes good at what he does and is funny with it too.

[@mparker7739]

Thanks Justin I enjoy your videos love the winter bites keep up the great video we are blessed to live in Beautiful East Tennessee ✌️

[@CreoleCatfishing]

You just THINK they pick on you, just imagine how much grief a Louisiana boy like me gets about the cold😂😂😂😂😂. It’s always relaxing watching you fish!! I really enjoy your content.

[@chuckjohnson4048]

I'm from La also, Monroe. Years ago at a football game I heard some Yankees just up from me, all dressed in their ski suits, commenting on how cold they were. It was 40ish but high humidity. Cold is relative in La's humidity, just like the heat is.

[@p-citysmittycatfishing7160]

Not all us Yankees are haters. LOL You keep doin Justin. Real fisherman love ya!!

[@neillsayers1489]

Thanks Justin, good times!

[@KyLakerat78]

Scanned that "ditch" a few weeks ago and there was no sign of life, so I moved on. The creek straight to your East was loaded with bait, but no fish. Ended up fishing a couple miles to the north with little luck. Wife did catch her PB flathead of 22lb.

[@richardshellnutt5138]

I would trade my beard and hairy chest for the fish you catch....keep up the great vids!

[@myronhigh3527]

Great job buddy, you have to fish when you can, and you definitely do that! Congrats and God Bless!

[@kevinjtoner]

This Yankee loves your channel!!! You’re the best!!!.......Thank you (from Chicago) 👍🎣👍

[@jerryporter5705]

Another great video, lol I was stationed in Alaska for 3 1/2 years, I don't have any wish to see snow ever again

Warm an comfortable I feel u on that lol. Great vid👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

[@beckyzimmerman1915]

You should do a video one day of fishing with fans!😁

Blue cats like warm too

[@chriswillis2263]

bro you catch fish on every trip us fishermen dream about and wish lol 🐟🐟🐟

[@tomw3380]

First of all, I didn't bet so we are still even. I have a small heater for my boat also. Glad t see your flats are still biting. Up here they take a break and go to the Bahamas for the winter. tight lines.

[@ohillbilly]

I seen some fellers with a charcoal grill in their boat for heat one time, but I never figured out how to build a fire in my yak. Now ya got me thinkin. Thinkin enough I subbed ya. Enjoying what I seen so far.

[@jakelencher817]

the catfish looks so happy in the thumbnail.

[@donprater2754]

I caught a chill watching this video.....lol..lol.lol..lol Enjoyed the video!

[@marknugent6155]

I didn't take that bet , seen it too many times to bet against you . Wait a minute ... There's no such thing as too many times . What was I thinking ? Justin , your show is my favorite on KZbin ! Keep it up until Ice Out 👍

[@petenunnery2292]

Hey Justin. Your cameras work great in low light. And the talking yankee shit with flannel shirts and beards had me dying. Great video sir.

[@adbaitandtackle6658]

Monday lunch break material. Much appreciated. Would love to hit the waters with you. But first I gotta get a kayak and the basics of kayak fishing. 🤣🤣

That’s a huge frikin catfish daym 😂🤯

[@earnielamb8356]

This is one of your fav spots wonder you can still fish there. Remember when someone put that tracking bug on your kayak. Has that happen more than the once

[@KayakCatfish]

Ain’t no secret spots when you have a KZbin channel

[@earnielamb8356]

@@KayakCatfish thanks for the reply least you know I'm a loyal admirer. Don't get many chances here in the Sandhills of nc unless we go down to Santee Cooper. That being said love the tournament video you made from there. Thanks again and can't wait till the next one

[@matthewsolocam1751]

As a yankee that meets all of that criteria.... I approve this message 🤣🤣

Who ever disliked this video is jealous because they ain't catching anything.

[@tonyjessen8204]

Thanks for taking us along Idaho record channel cat 31 lbs 38 inch if you got one that size i dont think you would bad mouth it and record flat head is 58.5 lbs 48 inch i take the same heater when we ice fish i dont like being cold

[@jprizzle2604]

Channel cats are trash where we live, we catch flatheads and blues regularly 50-70lbs

[@donniedickerson8077]

That's a heck of a Channel, 90% of what I catch is channels Here , South Mississippi, it's just the main thing in the river ,no locks or dams , free flowing, some blues and Flatheads too but lotsa channels , That's dinner 😋🦈

[@raywalsh6580]

Nice catches again buddy

[@prestonduncan6340]

Keep them coming . Great video.

[@KeithDocReed]

Great video Justin, I would bet when they drop the levels down it's really important to find those lil deeper cuts or channels. When it's deeper they mite cross up on the flats but never on low levels. Enjoy your channel brother happy holidays to your family.

[@derekstgermain4627]

Great video Justin keep em coming

[@markbell4982]

I'm a bit north of you in Union County. We got about 2" of snow. As you know, that's pretty heavy for us southerners this early in the season.

[@mevans5981]

Water temp here in ohio river was 44° and to my surprise I caught a flathead this past Sunday. He was same way , covered in mud

[@darrencook8103]

Hello friend from Fox River Bushcraft, great video brother ! Do you ever do any catch and cooks with catfish?

[@zachturner3443]

I’m in Kentucky love your videos

[@72hernest]

Good stuff man! Bout to do my first winter trip this weekend for them big boy blues!

[@jamestboehm6450]

You need to sit on the bank in 29° and a snow storm for 40 minutes to catch catfish. That is hard core. I'll take catfish over anything else with just the chance of something over 20#, that's a good fish for inland northern Ohio.

[@nathanturpin8119]

Great video as always love watching the videos keep it up

[@Ebjs]

Love the vids.... Ya ever wanna come up to michigan and try some ice fishin gimme a holler bud

[@MattLaClear]

This Yankee has the very same heater!

[@JeffGeraldFishing]

Hell half of the northern folks I see are up in those heated shed they put out on the ice. I’ve seen some trailers they pull out that are nicer then my house lol. I’ve been thinking about getting one of those myself, no shame in wanting to be warm.

[@donprater2754]

Do catfish feed on mussels during the winter months?

[@KayakCatfish]

I’m not sure. I know they gorge on them during the summer

[@beckyzimmerman1915]

Awesome fish have fun in the future!

Hello Justin I just wanted to tell you to check out a website that's called thirty seven on the computer there they sell electric heated suites that will keep you warm in these types of conditions now days and I'm proud that you remembered to hook up the tie line to the kayak before pushing it out in the water too now have a great day now 😂😂😂😂

Well at least u caught some catfish thanks for video 😁

[@leslielawson8315]

Love your video's keep it up

[@jprizzle2604]

Found out yesterday depth is kind of irrelevant, we couldn’t find deep spots in the river it was all 5-7 foot but we found one about 25 yard section that was 12 foot and it was loaded , so I think it doesn’t have to be 50 foot I think it just has to be the deepest part in the section your in.

[@elitegb7206]

Propane heater🤔🤔 very nice idea!! More than one way to skin a cat! Enjoyed it Justin. Water is way down here on Hartwell as well. Looking forward to the nexten!

Whatr you guys gonna do if you lower your lakes in the winter and then don’t have a rainy spring? Could backfire

[@KayakCatfish]

People a lot smarter than me figure that stuff out

[@twiztidirons9320]

The TN river is fed by several medium to large rivers they just bring levels back up slower without rain but usually we flood in the spring above full pull ive seen all 3 of my local dams full spill all gates open

[@donniedickerson8077]

Got some good fish ,all in all turned out well,, the same weather you had dumped enough rain down here it screwed things up , we don't have a dam system on the Pascagoula River here it's free flowing so you deal with the ups and downs of mother nature usually winter months you'll see Higher Levels and floods from about December Thru May From there Lower Levels to dead low June thru November with a few exceptions of a quick rise and fall , with that hook and line gets tough on floods while limb lines or top water lines in the Backwater heats up, During The out of the banks floods those can produce for ya well , I like Soap for bait on these hooks , Yep Soap, Ivory Soap , LoL, it Works Trust Me LoL ,, a couple spots at the mouth of a creek or two before it gets out of the banks is usually productive for hook and line , now I'm waiting for this dag blasted water to get back down to a normal ,,at least below 10' , and settle down there a few days , interesting how the different water systems work and effect the Bite , Enjoyed It ,Great Fish , Stay Safe on the Fishin Mission
