I've never seen these catfish being shy about line resistance, but maybe that's colder water than I have experience with. For catfish that don't like to feel tension on the line, I have a good solution. I shouldn't give away my secret, but here goes. Get some special bobbers from Rainbow Plastics that can be filled with water. For bobbers that are used for casting weight, get the bobbers that are shaped like a football. With the larger size of this style, they weigh approximately a couple of ounces when full of water so you can launch them a really long distance, but since they are weighted with water and the plastic housing is not very dense material, once they are submerged they are practically weightless. The line goes through the bobber so you'll need to use a swivel below the bobber (to keep it away from your bait) and you might want to put a bobber stop above it. Using the bobber stop also gives the option of using them as slip bobbers (when they are not completely full of water so they float), and you can suspend your bait above those rocks.

That is a good carp fishing spot and I caught a few small bass there. At least when I used to ride my bike back there which is no longer allowed.

[@madtownangler]

That was the first spot on Picnic Point.

You should go to Warner Park and fish by the railroad tracks I’ve never seen anyone fish there. I’m curious

[@ancientfishing]

I’ve fished at Warner. Where are the tracks, never seen them.

congrats on the nice kitty

[@Klevin0885]

I know this is an older video. Is mendota worth trying in the summer from the bank?

[@ancientfishing]

Yeah, but it’s hit and miss.

[@madtownangler]

I always did the best the first two weeks of July. After that the weeds get a little too thick for me.

[@Mike-lt6sj]

I'm going to be right in front of where you are on Monday in the boat. I'm looking for pike though.

[@rcrotorfreak]

Is this Mendota ca or the other mendota?

[@ancientfishing]

It’s in Wisconsin.

[@ztopduckh1]

Fish of sufficient gatoness!

[@travist7845]

Looking for a fishing buddy? I want to fish for some Gatos on that lake. I have a 14' boat but i want to try from shore first. I'll bring the cut bait if your interested

[@ancientfishing]

Sure, I’m open to fishing with others on Mendota.

[@travist7845]

@@ancientfishing you want my cell or email? I have alot of questions on getting ready. I fish for cats in Milwaukee but I want to upgrade my line and hooks

[@ancientfishing]

You can email me at my gmail at archbob12. I just use 50lb line braid into 50 or 70lb steel/wire leader for cat fishing.

[@travist7845]

@@ancientfishing ok email sent

[@djomegaminus]

Bob, get yourself some sinker slide for your weights!! Amazon has 'em pretty cheap.

[@FRGGuideservice]

Hope he sees this

[@FRGGuideservice]

Extremely good video detected 😂😂

[@The_Strudel_Man]

I’m very new to cat fishing would you be able to show me how you hook your baits what sinkers you use all that great stuff?

[@ancientfishing]

I use 50 on braid into 50 lb wire or steel leader. On mendota, I just tie a 1oz weight above the leader and put a bait on the hook.

[@The_Strudel_Man]

@@ancientfishing what for bait bluegills or?

[@ancientfishing]

Cut bait or worms work.

[@The_Strudel_Man]

I know fishermen don’t share their spots but what part of Mendota you fishing on like on Google maps. Also love the content
