Targeting Isolated Structure

With the bite being tough fir me here lately, I've had to pull out all the stops lol.

[@shoalscatfishjonathan]

That was fun, great fishing conditions, nice cat. Enjoyed the explanation on the fish finder 👍

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you

[@jeffreylankford6240]

Your sharing of info makes it a worth while watch fish or no fish thank you buddy

[@mickaburkhart14]

I appreciate that. Thank you for your support.

[@letsgofishing24.7]

Why did you say the suspended bite could go bad fast?

[@mickaburkhart14]

The hook up. Because they hit it so fast sometimes that the fish may not be hooked good and pop off.

[@letsgofishing24.7]

@@mickaburkhart14 Yes I lose more than I should when suspended and I agree I just wondered if your take was the same as mine. It’s especially worse on bigger fish with thick tooth patches I think. I landed a 41 pound Flathead couple of months ago on a suspended rod and the hook never penetrated at all. He was just holding it in the middle of the front of his mouth.

[@mickaburkhart14]

@@letsgofishing24.7 yeah that definitely happens. Since I've moved to the triple threats them hook ups have been better but still loose a few.

[@dalewood5964]

That was awesome. Don't sell yourself short. Catching those 2 fish this time of year is great. So you know. You have become my favorite, tied with Spencer and Josh. Can't believe you don't have more subscribers. If you don't mind me asking, how long have you had this KZbin channel? I love to watch you fish and explain what you are doing.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. But yeah I got to put in my KZbin time in to get the subs. But you will see me more on Spencer's channel this year. I've only been doing this KZbin thing for about a year now.

[@dalewood5964]

Thanks Micka. I will be doing a guide tour with Spencer next month. Glad to hear you two are getting together. You will make a good team.

[@mickaburkhart14]

@@dalewood5964 yeah I think we will. He will definitely put you on some fish. Hope y'all catch some biggens.

[@markybob_bassplaya1462]

Well done Micka.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you

[@Xofroggy]

Went fishing yesterday and caught nothing but a tree pounder (yes a tree pounder. A stick lmfao) but it was beautiful out so still enjoyable

[@mickaburkhart14]

Lol hey I don't know how many of those I've caught. But always good to get out regardless.

[@billydelong7372]

Barkley wasnt running any gates yesterday, but Ky Lake had a bunch open.

[@mickaburkhart14]

I went over ky lake today and seen alot of trash. So they were moving some water.

[@billydelong7372]

I fish Barkley most. Come up here and give it a try.@@mickaburkhart14

[@bjcoutdoors]

It’s always good to have old ways of fishing to try when it gets tough. That’s all I use to do was anchor up on structure but I can tell now that the dragging game has really stolen my patience for sitting still 😂 good job brother enjoyed it👍

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. Yeah that's all I ever did was anchor up. Taught me alot of patience 😆

[@greenpighunter6930]

Thanks Micka

Thank you.

Slow days on the water still count as good days. Enjoyed you taking me along. Thank you!

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you for watching. I appreciate your support.

[@michaelknight9112]

May have been a slow day but you always share a wealth of knowledge and I know I speak for everyone we definitely appreciate it

[@mickaburkhart14]

Well I definitely thank you for that.

[@billydelong7372]

Nice fun size

[@mickaburkhart14]

Yeah they were.

[@glennscatfishing]

Thanks for showing and discussing what you’re doing, very helpful.

[@mickaburkhart14]

No problem. Thank you for your support.

Nice video

Thank you

[@barbaraharrington9633]

What kind of rod leashes are you using and how do they attach to the rod holder and the rod.

[@mickaburkhart14]

I use the new Slingz that John Bubba New makes. Just search his name on Facebook and he can get you squared away. There is a loop on one end that you attach to the rod holders and a big carabiner on he other that hooks to the rod.

[@johncockrell3604]

If I try to drag should I drag against the current or with? I’ve never dragged before.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Definitely against the current. But technically if you have no current then you can drag either way.

What river are you fishing Micah?

I was in the Cumberland that day.

Whats your water temp today?

[@mickaburkhart14]

It was 48 to 49 that day.

[@Polebender1]

What happened to your new taped net you had

[@mickaburkhart14]

I still have it. Really don't need to use it in 3 to 4 feet of water. It comes in real handy when they are 20+ feet deep.

[@Polebender1]

@@mickaburkhart14 that's true. They are deep water nets.. I did not kno it was only 3 or 4 foot of water there

[@mickaburkhart14]

@@Polebender1 yeah I had to go shallow that day to find some bait.
