The BEST Fall Catfish BAIT!! (How to catch it and take care of it)

[@TheDetroitman20]

My 13 year old nephew has finally taking a shine to fishing. He absorbs everything you say and do. You must've been a hell of a teacher. Do you miss it? Great video and thanks as always for sharing brother!! 👍🏾👊🏾✊🏾🙂💯

Spencer: catches fish Me: WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN

[@bjaminf113]

"Doing the work" videos are awesome! Behind the scenes, maintenance and prep videos are crucial!

[@claudewilliams8000]

It's always great to call your show a real fishing show, you always show the how to use and always show real fishing trips, thanks again buddy a Go Cubs!!!!!!

[@pigsandapples]

I really enjoy these bait catching segments. For me ( half a world away) it's a view into the food chain where you live that is completely different to ours. The shear numbers of bait fish in your little streams is amazing. Thanks man,.

[@raysgonefishing3271]

The simple joy of getting bait. It's something I always enjoy

[@waterratlyle2590]

Yes sir, love creek walking and bait fishing. Awesome bait tank as well.

[@Hambonicus72]

Really love the bait videos

[@frankribble4367]

I just did a creek chub vs sucker vs Gill challenge Saturday night. Gills won 2-0-0. 38" & 41" Flatheads. I did catch my 1st Flathead on a creek chub this year.

[@michaelmichellevillareal2487]

Me and my granddaughter always watch Spencer one cool guy !!!

[@RiverCertified]

Thank you very much!

[@josephrollek3285]

I like to use a sliding bobber when I creek fish, makes my casting package small and can get closer to hanging trees and brush

[@FishingKC15]

I got a creek behind my house full of them and harvest baits regularly! Love me some sneebs!

[@attitudeadjusted9027]

Lifes pretty sweet already...... another Spencer quote and man it is isn't it 🤠. We use treated well water with a swimming pool filter on a 275 gallon tote we cut rhe lid off of. We can keep baits healthy for a month or longer. Keep it in my sons climate controlled garage. Works great. That first little green sunfish you thru back is the size my son used last week to catch that 90 pound blue. We love them big greenies and big crick chubs too. Oh and of course bullheads. Homemade 48 quart erated bait cooler for travel. Dont have the restrictions on water down here so we put right in big minnow buckets when we get where we're going. Treat your bait good it treats you good🤯. Thats a no shitter. Great vid and keep your powder dry and your pantry stocked young man 💪😎🙏🏾

Catching live bait is absolutely funny, I love it. You’ve made a nice “bait box” there. I hope those baits bring you big ones, Spencer! Thanks for sharing another awesome video.

Im in deep east texas, never heard of a bullhead. Im amazed at how you can go to those small creeks and catch big fish. Love watching those videos

[@karsonrivers9880]

I am too. I don’t think we have them down here, I’d never heard of them either.

[@troyvaughn6060]

I can’t wait to see the video using them Chubbs

[@egregiousblunder5395]

Man some days I just like fishing for bait, it's oddly relaxing and fun. On thing I do a bit different is close the barbs on those hooks, makes life much easier when catching bait fish.

[@RiverCertified]

I've never thought about that. I'll definitely give that a try. Thanks man.

[@egregiousblunder5395]

@@RiverCertified I started buying barbless hooks for bait ages ago once they became available. I found that I was really beating up my bait sometimes trying to yank out a hook. Now it's about all I use, all my flies are barbless and nearly all of my general hooks are unless I am fishing to keep what I catch.

[@timwhiting6721]

Woods is cool , give him a treat ! He looks like an old timer

[@chrishoda4287]

[@midmorninggameing]

Perfect timing. Just about to head out to catch some bait myself.

[@RiverCertified]

Hope you get em man

[@michaelspanos269]

here in IL you have to catch your bait from the same water you plan to use them in. No transporting. Puts a damper on live bait fishing for catfish.

[@AnotherFishStory]

My son and I made some minnow traps out of 2 liter bottles last week. Caught quite a few creek chubs with bread. Had them in a 5 gallon bucket with aerator but the batteries died during the night and they all died. Was going to use them for bait the next day.

[@clintonroppolo1709]

Friends of mine growing up called them Fall Fish. It's nothing to catch them 12 inches or bigger all day but usually when they're that big the trout and smallmouth I'm looking for aren't there. I used to catch big sucker's to but haven't seen a sucker in about 30 years.

[@FishingWithChris_Tv]

Creek chub and fall fish are 2 completely different fish but yeah those fall fish get massive, some I’ve seen pics of are bigger than half the bass I catch 😂😂

[@seanthefishguy2237]

Love the sneeb edition. Have a few chub spots in ohio that is full of "chubzillas" great clean crick area that have big flatties and chans. Anyhow great vid and be safe.

[@Frenchbroadcatman.]

I use a 10 size Aberdeen hook and corn. But ill also take a small amount of corn and throw in the hole ima fish to kinda put the creek chubs in a feeding frenzy works for me you should try it sometime

[@willieknows2708]

Bait time 😀

[@trinityoutdoors]

Great bait great video

[@steveroberts80]

Now I gotta try chubs again. Never caught anything on em but do have a chub hole close to the house

[@koreywilliams4570]

I've got an engal bait cooler too. I have the 19qt and I recently got a cast net I've been learning how to use. Also found out that engal has a new rechargeable air pump.

[@RiverCertified]

That's the best way to catch the best bait man. Hope you find some dandies!

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

Like the DIY advice. You’re a good fishing teacher. Just talk to everyone like they are middle schoolers. How was the charter season? Were you busy?

[@RiverCertified]

I probably talk like that because I have the mind of a middle schooler. Charter season went good. About as busy as I could handle. Alabama starts up the end of Oct.

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

It's ofishal, you're fintastic! But your pun was perfect for the video. ❤

[@ADL304]

The gar and the turtles wreak havoc on creek chubs in the little river I fish. Very hard bait to beat tho.

[@johnny51984]

Really wish you would’ve done a “how to” video on your at home live well. I’ve been brainstorming ideas for days now. Just want something simple and small like yours

My favorite channel hands down. One of these days I’ll be able to take the time and get one if he guided trips with him. Wouldn’t even care if we got skunked.

[@bestmoney5285]

Don’t forget to record your next fishing trip as well

[@rogerwilliams977]

All we have here in Myrtle Beach is green sunfish and if ur lucky enough some bulkheads 😂❤

[@otzi08]

Try catching some grass hoppers and using those for creek chub bait. No better bait for chubs.

[@ryankersell2505]

I live right next to a creek. Like a 2 minute walk. Gotta start going there for baits. The prepackaged shad are draining my wallet haha.

[@Elberpydna]

I don't fish without polarized lenses. Grey lens 75%. Amber lens on a cloudy day was a mind blower.

[@RiverCertified]

You ain't kidding about the amber lenses.

[@skeetermalcolm1655]

I find it very enjoyable catching my own bait brother

[@RiverCertified]

That definitely makes two of us. I feel like it's the best bait too.

[@Cranberryjuice1233]

Do you like chubs over gizzard shad when fishing the Missouri River? Or should silver carp be the go to this time of year?

[@billcotton1551]

In about 1958 , a creek chub was the first fish I ever caught.

[@charleswollert2143]

We called them creek chubs in Wisconsin and would hammer pike with them

[@JoseyWales-ed]

Creek chubs, oh yeah. I’ll take the head. Good luck, take care

[@Rszi83]

How has that whisker seeker bait tank held up for you over the years? Do you have to recharge it often? I know you use it alot and they have a Black Friday special right now it’s on sale

[@JozietheTexasLegend]

Legendary

[@RiverCertified]

Glad ya think so man

[@johncurry3668]

what type of cats are you targeting with the creek chubs?

[@acezn8s1]

Do the green sunfish ever kill the chubs being in there together?

[@CT15MK18]

Dude you wore the schneebs out. I won't be fishing for a good while here in Erwin Tennessee as 100,000 cfs blowed up river destroyed all my fishing holes. Many Many people lost their homes and property. Some even lost their lives. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers brother. Hope you catch some giants with those schneebs 🤘✌️🎣🇺🇲

[@RiverCertified]

I've been watching on the news. Hope you're doing okay. I'm definitely gonna put the sneebs to work.

[@billcotton1551]

Spencer, do you have fallfish out there in the midwest?

[@evanlashway329]

What’s your opinion on stink bait? Do you think it’s good?

[@jonathanmcavoy8941]

How do you hook the creek chub to use them live? Same as bullheads and sunfish?

[@mikebrown9418]

Do you keep your bait long enough that you have feed them? If so what do you feed them?

[@wayneflood7002]

If you ever in Kentucky let me know I take you to catch enough mud cats or bullheads or yellow bellies you fill your tank in 30 minutes or less. I keep them all year around.

[@rbartig]

"They'll sense your snobbishness" then you pull out a old pole. Now I know why I caught so many of the little bastard bait stealers this summer.

[@WackyOutdoors]

What is the cooler you use for your bait

[@kurtgleason5729]

Spencer great video and go Hawkeyes! A fellow Iowan here from NE Iowa. What the heck is a Sneab? Creek chub?

[@ericallison4494]

Nice simple little setup. How often do you have to clean your filter bucket?

[@RiverCertified]

Only once unless I have a big die off, which usually only happens when I put suckers in it in the middle of the summer.

[@tompriceusmc]

Simple!? When I was a teenager, my bait tank was a five gallon bucket that I put a piece of screen wire on top of...and I'd then put ice cubes on the screen wire to melt and drip down into the bucket...thus replenishing the fresh water. And I thought that was the height of ingenuity.

[@ericallison4494]

@@tompriceusmc well, you'll need a lot of ice to move the kind of water that he's moving. Lol

I raised in the aquarium 3 bluequills and a bullhead i caught for bait like 5 years ago no bigger than the head of my thumb and i let them go back today. Kinda bummed fr I loved willy,billy, silly and Charley. It was time. 😂

Usually bait will purge when in captivity... But will eat worms after acclimated

[@toxin4092]

Would love to fish but we’re struggling down here in nc, 8 ounce weights won’t even help with this flood going on

[@razorsedge6434]

Everybody loves chubbies

[@brandonbrewer21]

I prefer using jig heads as opposed to hooks when bait fishing... They almost never swallow the hook that way 🤷🏻 I mean they have a chunk of lead and a 90° eye to help keep them from giving it a slurp 🤷🏻

[@want2boutdoors274]

So when looking for creek chubs, there shouldn't be any small bream in the water? I've tried going back to places I used to catch chubs and they are loaded with baby bream now. How deep a whole or creek, are you looking for? Also do you purge your bait after catching them, before you put them in your tank?

[@RiverCertified]

They will mix it with the sunfish, especially in the fall. In the spring and summer they don't seem to hang out in the same places as much.

[@want2boutdoors274]

​@@RiverCertified gotcha, i appreciate that. Do you purge your baot after catching them and before putting them in your bait tank at the home?

[@koreywilliams4570]

Cast net. Free bait. I got 11 good small fish in one cast and Im still learning it.

[@RiverCertified]

Just don't get too attached to your castnet haha

[@PahaPoniesSpanishMustangs]

I wonder if it would just get tangled up in some situations?

[@jonnyohio9515]

Love the shirt. I recently went to a sweet bait shop and they were selling creek chubs so I bought some. When I opened my bucket and took one out there were suckers and the guy just calls them chubs. I wanted to be upset but who gets upset over having slurpable suckers in the tank?

I personally love chub fishing. I have caught "giant" clubs in the past that have little spiky horns on their head. Just wondering if u know what that is. I'm assuming it's a male chub, just wondering why they grow them

[@RiverCertified]

You nailed it. In the spring the males get the horns on their head. I guess the lady creek chubs like it.

[@phflhs]

Most places in the south they are called Hornyheads.

[@UncleMikesArtsnCraps]

Missouri we call them "horny chubs" . I just learned in Europe Chubs get to be 5 lb.
