The DATE Spring Catfish Start Biting

The spring catfish season is upon us and it's time to get out and learn how to catch big catfish in the spring. Spring fishing for catfish is some of the best catfishing of the year. Targeting giant catfish in the spring can be a challenge as weather change make fishing difficult. In this video I discuss my theory on the date that the catfish bite becomes consistently good and weather changes are less of a factor. I also talk about the catfish bait I am using, and how I set-up for catfish in the spring.

Now that pink reel has caught more big hawk jaws that’s any other reel I ever saw. That thing has some good juju. CAN I HAVE IT

[@richardhowell3595]

Fished Norman yesterday. Tough bite. 6 hrs dragging = 1 fish. I appreciate your content and your knowledge. Keep up the good work my brother!

[@robertmceuen3630]

ONLY 25 lbs? I'm jealous. Nice video and great catfish!

[@OhioCatman-hy3oo]

Nice fish Dieter! Gonna try to get out here in southwest Ohio in the next week or so and fish as long as the weather cooperates. Love your videos and podcasts. Stay safe out there, God bless and tight lines brother!

[@kevintrainor1669]

Nice fish! Looking forward to seeing you in May. Keeping my fingers crossed it works out with your schedule.

[@rickalsip2329]

Hopefully one day I'll make it down there for a guide trip. I've never caught anything over 15 lbs

[@jghillstudio1857]

Good quality fish. Great job on video post work. Rock on!

Depending on substrate, I do well in 41-degree water. I will say not consistently big fish alot of 10-25lb fish.

[@mikebarron5631]

Glad to see another video

[@frankribble4367]

Must be nice 41 degrees at Midnight in Michigan.

[@jcchevyman]

Nice 👍

[@jakerogers6562]

Its deff. Getting better. Caught ome yesterday evening and three this morning. The chicken bite has gotten slow for me so i may have to bring out the throw net. I always look forward to your videos brother. I have a nice boat and fish every week but i still plan to book a guide trip with you hopefully sometime soon. Jake from mount airy nc

[@bryanl6744]

Love the content

[@larryking606]

Good Morning , Dieter I have been enjoying your videos for a long time now and that Great time with you on your boat catching Blues !!!! I want to ask you , Have you ever thought about writing a book ? With your knowledge of the different Catfish, you could do it easily ! Just a thought, but I would want one of the first books off the press ! And of course signed by You ! Take Care and Be Safe !

[@DieterMelhorn]

Yes I have. I have two to write, I just need to sit down and pen the tales.,....

[@docd-monik4380]

Only 25 lbs? Hell, I go out and catch a basket full of 5-10 pounders and that's a good day of fishing for me

[@KickenChickenNetwork]

Went out last nite here in KY. Didn't get a bite

[@robertmceuen3630]

Don't feel bad. No bites in Ok. either... Soon.

[@chrislester8504]

I fish around london/corbin ky and haven't had much luck in the last year. Always bring a variety fresh bait and fish several spots on laurel and cumberland river. Idk what's up.

[@KickenChickenNetwork]

@@chrislester8504 hopefully bite gets better for us soon. I'm on rough River lake

[@chrislester8504]

@@KickenChickenNetwork My idea is to keep putting in time and eventually something has to Bite. Can't catch fish without bait in the water!

[@chrisclay1502]

What size dragging weight are you using with the big demon dragon?
