Perfect Conditions for Catching Catfish

When you are fishing for catfish you are always looking for the best water for catching catfish. Sometimes this means fishing for catfish in rivers, and other times it means that the best catfishing may be in lakes. One factor that affects how you catch catfish is whether or not there is current, and whether or not the water is muddy or stained. Catfishing in muddy water can be a great way to catch big catfish and a good way to catch a lot of catfish. Find the perfect waters to catch catfish is a challenge, especially when weather begins to play a part in the fishing.

My favorite water condition is when the water is wet

[@DieterMelhorn]

Water is the common denominator in every fish I catch…..

[@timstewart6544]

Can’t believe I made your thumbnail! What an honor. I sent the video to my dad but had not seen the thumbnail because my video plays without clicking on it, so I missed it.

[@DieterMelhorn]

Thanks for catching a good one!!!

[@robertnicholsonkayak6153]

Dieter, could you please make a video where you educate people about the importance of protecting a catfish's slime layer if you are going to release it. Whenever I read catch and release tips in fishing regulations and other places, they always say to wet your hands before handling a fish, keep the fish in the water as much as possible, release it quickly, don't let is flop around on the ground or on the bottom of the boat, and if you are going to net it, use a knotless net. The slime layer that covers an entire fish is a protective coating. If that coating is damaged, the fish becomes more vulnerable to various problems. The skin of a catfish is a highly sophisticated sensory organ, and catfish do not have protective scales, so it is especially important to try to avoid damaging their slime layers. In almost every catfishing video I've watched, the people just let the catfish flop around on the bottom of the boat or the ground for a while before they release it.

Hey Dieter, I was on KZbin today and I saw your video when you painted a demon dragon and a peg float black when fishing for catfish, so I went out and bought me a whisker seeker tackle mini chub (that was the closest anywhere around me had) and I spray painted it black, do you think that the spray paint smell will deter a catfish?

[@johnnewsome4712]

I catch pretty good lot of catfish here where I'm at n ky. But I'm around long bodied ponds. But I have ppl tell me all the time that there's keg sized cats n here. What's your suggestion. I've caught some pretty big ones. But ik they get bigger.

[@adampearson94]

Dieter, I'm somewhat new to catfishing harder and bigger. Would you please, kindly if you can make a video on how to handle catfish the size you catch please? Respectively, Adam

[@DieterMelhorn]

Yes sir!! That's a video I need to make

[@DillonTrinhProductions]

My favorite water conditions is where there’s a visible current with slack and an eddie, those are good catfish spots.

[@DieterMelhorn]

You're exactly right!!

[@ahiraband3939]

Round here your options are muddy and really high or very high with lots of mud.

[@DieterMelhorn]

That's about what my options were on this trip....LOL

[@larryhobbs8769]

Good one Dieters. What action rod you prefer. Medium or Medium Heavy for dragging baits for catfish

[@DieterMelhorn]

I like either a medium or medium light. Anything heavier is overkill on out waters....

[@CatmandoTNR]

Not in the community pond I fish in in N. TX. Just had a die off. 7 blues belly up and floating and 2 others finning the surface

[@DieterMelhorn]

Thats not good....did you get a lot of rain?

[@ronfortmann6568]

Looks like the red river in the Shreveport Bossier City area!!!!

[@DieterMelhorn]

I heard the Red River is called that for a reason!!!

[@the420xtc]

OBEY

[@HomesickforAlaska]

That is one huge mud puddle. Actually, pretty sure I may have seen cleaner mud puddles. But it holds fish, thats all that matters

[@DieterMelhorn]

Yes sir, that was some very dirty water

[@danhandke5012]
