Best catfish bait. Definitely my favorite bait of choice especially for warmer water and heading in to fall. Catching skipjack can be a tedious job but it sure pays off and is a huge reward in the long run

Thanks for the tips Bro! I got a vacuum sealer and suck at using it. Your video was very helpful.
@riverlunacy5 ай бұрын
Thanks man, once you get used to using it and figure out a few tricks to it, it will get easier. If it’s not sealing right, sometimes all you gotta do is flip the bag over. Keep the slime out of the end of it, is the main thing.

Good trip James... I tried Meldahl this morning and got blanked. Prety sure I wasn't getting it deep enough. I'll re-rig & try it again soon.

Saw the title and rushed out to the front porch expecting to see a cooler full delivered. Alas, I was disappointed, again.... LOL Great tip on how to grab them! What's your fav skipjack weather/water conditions?
@riverlunacy5 ай бұрын
My favorite is the end of April into March here on our river. I’ve also had some really good success out of nowhere in June. I guess if I was to choose conditions, I would like it to be about 75° with a little fog on the river in the morning.

Good video. Would it be any easier from a boat ?
@riverlunacy5 ай бұрын
I’m not real sure about that, I guess if you were able to get in some soft water and hit the seam around the boiling water, you would probably still be OK. Definitely pretty easy from the bank though except for dealing with some of the rocks standing in

James, I really Wish we had Skipjack in our Rivers Here in Western Pa.Our Flatheads would be world record size if that was true. The Pa Fish Commission just reintroduced the Blue Cats in our 3 rivers Allegheny,Monaghela, Ohio. Do you think they stocked Skipjack first? No. To make it even more difficult for the Catfisherman They make you buy a Cast net Permit 22.00$ For each river. Tightlines God Bless

Wow a net permit is overboard

Pennsylvania has the most ignorant laws I've ever heard of especially the no hunting on Sundays that seems like a constitutional issue for sure

Know of any good places to fish for skipjack around Ashland Ky side of river ?
@riverlunacy5 ай бұрын
I’m not really familiar with this area. We usually fish at Markland and Meldahl Dam’s and then before the run they’re usually up in the creeks. I would be scoping out your closest Dam tailwater
@cozziwysong39055 ай бұрын
man you went and did all that when you have a boat hell there locked in the creeks they have been for weeks now we got 267 the other day out of the creek
@riverlunacy5 ай бұрын
I got some in January in one of the creeks over here but I haven’t seen any since.

Appreciate the info. Hope it was a good day out🎣
@riverlunacy5 ай бұрын
It definitely got better once we got over to the other dam plus the air warmed up for us which was very nice
@jamesbitter88975 ай бұрын
Im going to try to make it up to markland soon.. have been casting flat bank sinkers past few days.. but now that ive got a few hundred made i need to make it up to the dam
@riverlunacy5 ай бұрын
Good luck. Should be some cats and some skip jack up there in a couple weeks I would imagine. Water temperature is still a little low.

Great haul of skipjack! Wish I could do that. Next week I head to the Tennessee River for my annual trip and skipjack is king down there.

@riverlunacy5 ай бұрын
I never ate one but years ago I used to be a group of people that we keep them and put them in the ground to ferment. Then they would bring them back up after a month and make patties out of them like you would for salmon. 😂

That always sucks when someone sees u catching fish and dam near crosses ur line. Aggravating as ever. And u can throw in front of them and catch the same damn fish.
