John, don't undersell your videos. I appreciate that you are just like the rest of us out there fishing---keep up the great videos for all of us out here!!!!!!

Kansas tarpon! Also known as Goldeneye here in NE Kansas. They are in some of our lakes but not in abundance. We usually just use shad for catfish baits. I enjoy your videos, down to earth and real. Not like all these KZbinrs with to many sponsors.. I like watching local guys also, just keep it real.. Tight lines!

@OhioRiverFisherman2 жыл бұрын
Mooneye are crazy looking little fish, but the cats love em!! I was losing alot of skipjack off my Foley spoon, until I put a stinger hook on it and it works great!!! Usually will hook them with both hooks.

I don’t think I’ve seen a mooneye since I was a kid on the Mississippi River. I almost forgot they existed! Seems like a great cutbait.
@shanewilliamsoutdoors71536 жыл бұрын
Good info! I occasionally catch them in a cast net. I've never tried to catch them on rod and reel. I might have to try it below Barkley sometime.

Just to let you know my favorite way of catching him was using shiner tails just cut the tail off and put it on a tiny little hook and I caught him over and over againwhen the other guys were using lures and crickets I was catching them 3-2 there one
@thecatdaddyexperience12226 жыл бұрын
It’s crazy man. Over the years I’ve noticed I probably catch bait more then actually catfishing. Well at least until October gets here then I use up what I’ve stored until February.

Yes Sir, I spend a lot of time chasing bait, it has been rough this year finding it, but when I have others that get bait from me it is a never ending chase....lol.

Hi John this is Mike from Vermont the mooneye is also called a toothed herring so I would assume that it is from the Herring family and by the way you do make great videos

@johnvaughn6736 жыл бұрын
John, I have to questions. Can you get skipjack and shad at the same location? I know you usually use a lure for skipjack and cast net for shad. I just was wondering if you could get all 3 at the same location. Question 2. I live in Kentucky and wondering if there was a place around Ashland to catch bait? Thank you for time. I like your video's! Keep that pole bending!
@RegularDudeFishing6 жыл бұрын
Sometimes you can find all three in the same locations, usually below dams. If you are close to Ashland, then the Greenup dam is probably your best bet for getting bait. I have gotten all three kinds of bait from there, and we also catch bass, cats and sauger there as well. Hope this helps brother.

Could you post an update of the river soon I drive a long way to try for hybrid last time I went the water was very low and the paddle and gar were all over by the steps
@RegularDudeFishing6 жыл бұрын
Hey Keenen, the river is low and slow right now, and the fishing is not great. There are a couple being caught, but not in any numbers (hybrids, bait, or cats). We need a good rain to get the river up and moving. Once we get some rain the fishing should pick up again. Keep an eye on the weather. Hope this helps.

What are you using for bait to catch the toothy baitfish
@tjtewshews55314 жыл бұрын
Dunno about that river but I've been fishing the Mississippi and I can just look up the river stage nearest to whatever part I'm fishing. It even forecast the river stage as well.

5:40 Here comes your ride, because it's a crime not to put that size mooneye on a big float and drift it through the death zone. Should be a warning, and then 24 hours in the big house for second offenders.
