Pennsylvania Catfish Fishing (The Snag Started Swimming)

[@M-LOutdoors]

You know it's gonna be a good fight when you think it's a snag and it turns out to be a fish. For channel cats, we love to use cut Bluegill and Shrimp. Works like a charm and catches us some behemoths if you can find the right location

[@delconashvilleline]

Haha right? I also feel like anyone who catfishes and has a KZbin channel has at least one video titled the snag started moving out something similar lol. I've been hearing a lot of people recommending shrimp. I'll have to give it a go! I appreciate the tip!

[@M-LOutdoors]

@@delconashvilleline Good luck out there! I think you’ll have some great results with the shrimp

[@fingerscrossedfishing]

You gotta take your kayak out there in those waters, that's the place I go out the most

[@delconashvilleline]

You have no idea how badly I want to do! It is def on my to do list. I'll def do it at least once this summer.

[@berendschnabel174]

That rod is sick

[@delconashvilleline]

Thanks man! It's 5 time more expensive than the one I usually use lol.

Awww that’s my spot bud! Was just there on Mon night with my son and got skunked. Caught Some great cats and carp there but can be very hit or Miss. and shaggy!

[@briandydak4598]

Snaggy

[@delconashvilleline]

@@briandydak4598 definitely snagging! It was my first time there. I don't catfish enough. That is great that yall have caught some nice fish there in the past! Have yall ever caught any catfish there that weren't channel catfish?

Uncooked raw jumbo shrimp let it sit out for a day may want to use gloves to bait your hook that stuff smells for like a month

[@shawndavis7323]

Set up like 2/0 maybe three octopus /circle hook rigged like a drop like a drop shot I do the best with the tail-end a piece of raw jumbo shrimp

[@shawndavis7323]

I caught the biggest catfish with my life up towards Yardley in the Delaware River with a number-one snelled hook and 1 oz Bank sinker a piece of raw shrimp that was probably no bigger than a man's thumb nail I thought it was a snag it was on a ugly stik combo medium I think it had about 8 lb test fish 30" at almost 10 lbs I did not have a scale I did not take fishing and Seriously as I do today also I was set up like a striper rig on a swivel

[@nicksolazzo4717]

Darby Creek...but you are close to the confluence of the river

[@delconashvilleline]

You said that much better than I did in the beginning of the video lol. Thank you!

[@Shortythepimp82]

I'm in the delco area too I'm trying to get back into fishing

[@delconashvilleline]

@shortythepimp5658 do it man! It's a great way to spend some time outside.

[@nicksolazzo4717]

Nice Delco following lol....I'm about a mile from the spot you were at

[@delconashvilleline]

@nicksolazzo4717 that's what's up. I grew up in Delco then moved to Nashville and came back hence the weird name that makes no sense lol. Thanks for checking out the video!

[@briandydak4598]

Cougar a few white cats and occasional bullhead in the fall once temps drop. I can’t explain it - one of those places that’s either off the hook or sucks. LSt June, I had a ball catching schoolies stripers up to 26’ on livers clams and top water. This year I prob went 3-4x in early-mid June not a single bass Same with carp bite. When it’s on you’ll catch 3-4 in a couple hour session. Go back a week later fish harder don’t get a bite Hard to figure that place

[@delconashvilleline]

That's cool! I've never caught a white catfish. Thanks for the tips! Good to know it's either hit or miss. I feel like a lot of that area is like that.

[@rookgarage]

Im about to start recording vids, we should do a calebaration we live close and go to same spots.

[@delconashvilleline]

Delco is a great area! Recording the videos isn't too bad, it's the editing that is the most time consuming.

[@Kiwanukapalace422]

How did you not get snagged every cast? I tried that place about a month ago at high tide and got sick of losing tackle lol.

[@delconashvilleline]

Haha in fairness I cut the times that we got snagged from the video. But between the two of us we probably fished for 2.5 hours and each snagged 2 to 3 times. I'm not sure how we didn't snag more often. I feel like it was just that we got lucky.
