This spot was loaded with bedding BULL BREAM | Louisiana Swamp

Fishing with crickets for Bull Bream (Bluegill) and Catfish in the Atchafalaya Basin. Caught everything at around 3-4 foot depth in about 8 feet of water with an ultralight slip cork setup.

[@kfred]

Well done brother! Thanks for using my KFRED Float Popper. I do have my reels at the County Station now.

[@LaYakFishing]

Thank you Kfred! Fun little rod, those catfish put it through the stress test for sure. I’ll be on the lookout for your reels next time.

[@BigT27295]

Beautiful place brother.

[@LaYakFishing]

Very lucky to have this so close to me, cool spot

[@walterrichards1802]

Oh, I forgot to say, Love the rod and reel combo. I have turned many flyrods into spinning outfits and I have caught tons of fish on them.

One of my favorite KZbinrs. Love the vids and commentary

[@LaYakFishing]

Thank you man! Glad you enjoy watching

[@countrylivingtv3514]

Man you KILLING those Bluegills and Catfish!!! Yessssiiiiirrr that's my kind of fishing right there!! New subscriber out of Florida 💪🏿🎣💪🏿🎣

[@LaYakFishing]

Thank you man, bluegill and crappie, getting to be addictive. Can’t get enough! Thanks for the sub and checking it out 👊🏼

[@countrylivingtv3514]

@@LaYakFishing yeah man, I been tearing them up down my way too.. Thinking about doing some night fishing for Specks soon.. (Crappie) They bite pretty good fishing deep water during the summer around here.. Keep on fishing man!!

[@LarrysFishing]

We get that problem down here too with the weeds, makes it a pain in the butt at some spots. Very good session with some very nice catches. Looks like someone is having another very good dinner :) Great job as always, keep them coming!

[@LaYakFishing]

I hope they can clear them out soon, at least it’s only at the launch, clears up when you get going. We had a feast Larry, so good, thanks for watching!

[@alanegary156]

Great video, the KFred Rod got the job done

[@LaYakFishing]

Thanks, yea very light rod, and comfortable. Fun to catch them bream with, makes you feel like you pulling in a tuna

[@codyyarbrough6724]

Thanks for the shoutout! Love the videos. When you wanna meet up one day to catch a few bream just let me know. In south central MS so only a few hours away most likely.

[@LaYakFishing]

No problem, those hooks work great man, quicker to unhook to get back to fishing. I’ll give bream maybe 1 or 2 more trips, and then try some saltwater. Thanks for watching !

[@bogolyskeepingitreel]

Holy crap....that was choked out with weeds!!!! nice channel cat to start out with! 2nd catty, the blue was a nice chunker! 11:11 bluegill 😮what a beauty! Congrats on the PB! The cricket is the ticket 😆😉 Looks like your going to have a nice catfish dinner! It was worth getting out there brother. What a nice day on the water!!

[@LaYakFishing]

Fried them all up the next day. Bream fried whole and catfish were filleted. Was so good. Def worth it, even if I didn’t catch it would have been worth it. Thanks for watching man!

I live down the road a little ways in moss bluff La. Great little vid dude. Cricket is the ticket. Like that. 👍✌️🤙

@@HarryBurt-hk5gu Thanks bro, the catch phrases come out of me sometimes

[@fishinwithferg6048]

A friend and I caught some nice cats the other day. We kept going back and forth trying to figure out if they were blues or channels.

[@LaYakFishing]

@@fishinwithferg6048 😂 I’m trying to get better at identifying them, I don’t know if I ever will. They all eat the same

[@toddyguidry3415]

you're a brave man to stand up in that yak! I'd be overboard the second I got upright...nice vid, I like the drone view as well. How far north did you travel in the trees from the landing?

[@LaYakFishing]

Love to stand up, it’s gonna get me one day 😂. I went about halfway north towards the bridge. Went again this weekend for afternoon trip and almost all bulls, kept 9 to take home. Was having some technical difficulties with the kayak with little things breaking so called it early.

[@ThePentUpAngler]

Great day and video. Awesome you had some of your own space on a Saturday. That vegetation is amazing blocking off Kern’s. Great effort. Awesome cats and that was one huge bull! Well done. Good luck ahead.

[@LaYakFishing]

I think the weeds possibly turned some people around, was noticeably quiet out there for a Saturday. Glad I decided to launch and not turn around. I hope I can find some more big boys like that next time. Thanks Mark! Good luck to you

[@walterrichards1802]

Just found your channel and love the Atchaflia basin video. The best thing is that you are Keeping fish to eat! The only other channel I have that does that is RICHARD GENE, THE FISHING MACHINE. He keeps panfish. But the cats he gets more often than not he releases. That's fine but throwing everything back is rediculous.

[@LaYakFishing]

I love to eat panfish, especially fresh not frozen. Hard to beat it. Glad you checked out the video, it was a fun day for sure.

[@BrianBuras]

Nice catch! way to go!

[@LaYakFishing]

Thanks man! Gotta love bream

[@jamessistrunk2389]

Hey Travis that's a ultralight pole made to catch bream .If u don't horse them u see he's getting those catfish in the boat.

[@haydenbecker1978]

Bothe the catfish are channel a blue will be almost white and light blue I catch them both by the thousands being a commercial fisherman

[@LaYakFishing]

Ohhhh ok interesting, I was wondering about that, thanks for the clarification. They look so similar to me, people say to check the fin if it’s rounded or squared off too

[@MalayGhoseHajra]

Great video. Enjoyed it very much. 1) where did you launch the kayak from? 2) what make model Kayak do you have? 3) did you use cricket for all fish or different? Thanks a lot

[@LaYakFishing]

I launched from the Basin landing. I use a 2020 Hobie Pro-angler and only used crickets that day. 100 count is more than enough. Thanks!

[@purnellrichardson3716]

I love eating those type fish too

[@LaYakFishing]

Yea me too, so good

[@Marsh-Mechanic]

Think that’s the biggest perch I ever saw! Lol that was a monster! A lot of catfish out there wow! That kinda fishing is 10 times more fun then being offshore fishing for marlin! What kinda drone do you have? I’m looking to get one and that one had some clear shots! Good video buddy! 🐟🐟🎣🛶

[@LaYakFishing]

I agree! Something about seeing that cork move, gets me going. Really not sure if I’ll ever catch one that big again but that’s why I measured and weighed, for my personal record. I have a DJI Mavic mini with the 3 batteries. I use my phone for the screen. I recommend spending more and getting the built in screen controller. My phone overheated while I was flying and I had to put it in the ice chest to cool it off in order to retrieve the drone lol. You can get one that follows your boat. Thanks again for watching!

[@Marsh-Mechanic]

👍

That kiddy canoe you're fishing in is not safe enough where alligators reside 😮😮😮😮

[@LaYakFishing]

lol you might be right

[@Tilledboss]

Whats your recipe for the blue gill

[@Tilledboss]

You use seafood magic and make your own breading or do you just use zatarans fish fry

[@LaYakFishing]

I fried them whole with the Cajun Ninja fish fry, I seasoned them with Cajun land seasoning and rubbed with mustard and egg. Coated with fish fry and deep fried for about 3-5 mins each. They were delicious, picked off the bone.

[@AquaTech225]

Don’t know how ya do it. I don’t even like to go out to cut my yard once a week with our heat an humidity. You I’m my neck of the woods. An it been something else. But it’s still crankin up unfortunately

[@LaYakFishing]

It’s been rough, the shade of the trees help tremendously. Or super early or really late works also.

[@russellverdin8339]

Where in Louisiana where are you fishing

[@LaYakFishing]

Henderson

[@KellyCalais]

Hey buddy I'm from Henderson Cecilia area can I join you next time I'm a subscriber

[@LaYakFishing]

I usually just fish alone, it’s my time to unwind and escape from work but holla at me if you see me on the water, and thanks for subbing! Hopefully more catching to come

[@jamessistrunk2389]

Yeah ,whoever told u that was right.Plus if u get hung up those adberdeem wire hooks will bend

[@robbymatherne9987]

Awesome video !!! The way to tell channel from blues is the anal fin. Channel has a round anal fin and a blue has a square fin. So with that being said, you have two channels. Keep the videos coming!!!

[@LaYakFishing]

@@robbymatherne9987 thank you! I was wondering, I’ll check the fins next time. Colors can be deceiving on those things

[@travisbond4218]

You need a much larger boat Google the father and daughter fishing in a canoe and they pulled up a float and the alligator they caught on the other end mouth could have swallowed his daughter whole but he could have killed the father easily also his mouth was huge making that alligator around 6or 7 hundred pounds be careful pls

[@LaYakFishing]

I saw that video, it gave me the frissons!
