Good stuff, as usual Steve. You didn't mention it, but I certainly noticed the BARGE BITE was outstanding. I guess we could speculate all day long as to the Barge Bite theory. Thanks for sharing your knowledge & videos.

Looks like boat control is what it's all about when drift fishing. The boat itself becomes one big bobber with the trolling motor controlling the rod tips. You sure are good at it. Practice Pays Off.

I'ma just be clear with you. you are me favorite youtuber. I started fishing a year ago and decide do do something bigger with fishing so i started a youtube channel. slowly but surly everything will be up and running next year as far as clothing, website and more. I'm from toledo, ohio and love to fish the maumee rive. I just started my channel this may and i must say i am getting more support then i could imagine.. But i would like to thank you for the tips you give and interesting videos you make. me and my buddies are big fans of yours. I learned a lot from you and will continue to do so. and i was wondering if it s okay if i can give you a big shoutout on my next episode and let everyone know who i prefer to learn from. once again thank you.

I have lived in mean right on the Ohio River all my life it was right out the front door down the steps onto the dock and into the boat with my father back then now I'm teaching my grandsons some of the unique ways to catching big catfish and in this day and my age there isn't as many big cats out there so here is my question when fishing for flatheads is it best to drag to catch big fish or am I better to anchor out ,or maybe tie up to a tree out in the water as I live where I can see the Manchester islands from where I live ( the river averages about 22 feet around here ) thanks From Yours TRULEY SQUEE LEWIS

Have you seen the I-Pilot link from Min Kota? It looks like it will let you set a program that will follow a preset contour line. If I understand it right, you can set a depth, and it will follow that, leaving you a bit more hands free? Just a suggestion. I know it is pricey.

Hi steve. I live in cincinnati Ohio, right near the ohio river! I have a question for you. Since I don't have a boat, and i cant put my kayak on the river, I have stuck to a private lake near my house. It is about 150 acres, and it gets up to 85 feet deep in some parts. They stocked 10 thousand channel cats in there 5 years ago, and only about 1 to two hundred people have access to this lake. So they should still be in there. Anyway, I have a depthfinder on my kayak, but it doesnt have very good sonar for finding and marking fish. But i still can see depth, and some bait balls and stuff. But I need help catching channel cats. I have tried 6-8 inch chunks of cut sucker, but they dont work. I was wondering, where i should target, and what baits I should use. Should I use chicken liver on the bottom? Or cut shad? Thanks for your time steve! Great videos keep it up!

i use google earth and navionics to scout out potential spots both are free tools that help alot so i bet you could be successful doing the same thing. look for bends in the river or current breaks, there is alot of exploring you can do from home. good luck
