USING BEGINNER FISHING METHODS TO CATCH FISH NONSTOP!

Get ready for a legendary day of fishing in the beautiful Potomac River in Washington D.C. This is spring fishing at its finest. In this episode, we will be using one of the easiest fishing methods to catch BIG FISH by live lining some live bait. Lots of Rockfish and ENORMOUS catfish like to gobble up snack-sized perch. So first, we are going to catch some white perch to use as live bait, and then we are going to live line that out to see what we can catch!
This week, I am renting a boat to go fishing with Erin and my dad. This fishing spot is very special to me as I have been fishing here for over 15 years and this is really where I learned to fish with my dad. I love being about to bring him and Erin out on the water for a special, fish-filled day. And you won’t believe how many fish we catch!

I would love to know why someone disliked this video already. You're a great guy. Awesome videos. You have a lifelong fan with me.

Thanks ray! Appreciate your support my man 👍🏼

[@bankfishinglife9797]

Probably people who love eating catfish and he let them all go lol

[@gerardjohnson2106]

Probably because they hit the button by mistake. I've done it and saw my mistake before proceeding. If you've never hit the wrong dot on a smart phone you are a champion.

[@raywright3274]

@@HeySkipper thanks for the response. Love your videos. I've learned a lot from you. If you could give me some advice I'd greatly appreciate it. I have a 7'6 Medium heavy fast inshore Toadfish rod. I don't have a boat so I'll only be fishing from banks/piers/docks. I'll be predominantly using it for saltwater. What type of reel would you recommend? My budget is roughly $90. Thanks again and have a great weekend

Fishing with your dad is priceless memories

The sound of the drag peeling off is one of the best sounds. Nice action!!

So many fishing channels rely on some gimmick or another...You're just a regular people doing regular people things. Refreshing and relaxing.

Its always great to see your dad and any of your family out doing what they love.

It’s always great to be out together :) so happy to hear you enjoyed watching f

People that love eating catfish are jealous and drooling🤤

[@HeySkipper]

I would have kept some but there is a health advisory warning to avoid eating them!

[@padywac1970]

Why would anyone dislike this? This video is great! Father and son fishing, wife filming, a beautiful day on the river….I don’t get it. Some people are dumb.

0:54 did GOD come to visit you? The whole sky bloomed lol

[@jeramyh9344]

Wow, I thought we invented that. I never had money for "bait" growing up, so we would use muscles that grew on the pier to catch small fish, then used them as bait for bigger fish. I even caught a few Sand Sharks that way.

[@bradley5008]

In South Africa, our catfish will hook themselves and let you know about it in about 5 hours🤣

[@badass.bob1]

Good to see you guys using baitcasters/multipliers? More videos with these please Skipper

They’re beginner methods for a reason! So I can catch fish 😂 great work brother love the channel!

[@badass.bob1]

Love your videos man. My favorite place to fish? Sandy Beach, Coffs Harbour, NSW Australia 2456. It's only 400 metres from home and tomorrow morning I'll be throwing a line again. Bait will be home salted squid, bream and fishbites. I have to get the fishbites on line from the US. Works well for whiting, bream, flathead and dart,etc. Keep up the good work mate. So good to see you using a baitcaster too. Tight lines brother

[@TowMan127]

Man y’all caught more fish in this video than I caught in a year! 😂 awesome catching! My wife asked me what took 30 minutes to do the dishes. Don’t get mad but I blamed your video. 🤜🤛

[@killaforniak3874]

Everybody gotta go out and fish once in awhile, it can be very calming and exciting... im pretty sure its good for your health, I shore fish and grill some bacon cheese burgers with the family. And if we catch something that's the main course of the meal!

[@utopiadaniele]

Great video, mate, and nice to see you had fun with your dad!!! But bring along a landing net next time, eheheh!!! Cheers!!!

[@michaelmalveaux1571]

At 16:00 am I the only one who thought the helo coming was the catfish hummin like they do lol

[@fredsavina4965]

Wow, 2 fish at once is a miracle in fresh water. Thats easy with no bait on bare hooks in the surf, but that takes real skill around here where there are none.

[@dwongwayvideos2023]

Cool video. Nice to see what people catch on the other side of the country. I like to soak Pike Minnows for Striped Bass on the Sacramento River. DWongWay Videos.

[@saxon6]

We use this method on the Rappahannock in Fredericksburg. Only we use bread on small hooks to catch sunfish. Keep up the fun videos

[@HeySkipper]

Bread works for some fish but doesn’t stay on the hook well or for a long time. Very interesting stuff thank you for sharing!

[@shanewilliams8533]

Hey bro love the things u do am from Jamaica try some but never get anything but still tryin

[@williambenner5550]

Come down to the Chattahoochee River in Columbus GA. Especially in early spring for the Strppers and hybrids.

[@bigdaddykeithcarter1624]

we had a great year last year behind the Walter f George dam, this year they shut the fishing off behind it due to construction, I think next spring will be even better. I live 5 miles from the lake, it's totally too crowded with people now.

[@bmbrian99]

Thinks your dad right about the set hook mate along with all the youtuber/pros i follow... gained lots of knowledge from you past few months, where those bass on live bait as well ?? More vids a week please

TYVM for another awesome fishy vid Skipper!...in which part of the Potomac were you guys on?...that area looks awfully near DC (since Potomac stretches far also into VA and MD side plus helos on the regular) and you can access it by kayak still :D - besides the sabiki and darts, does it really have to be the whole perch (if that was DC area proper shad is off limits right?) or will cut bait still do?

[@OptimizedGaming1519]

hey you should try cumberland there alot of local creeks and river even the potomac its good fish and fun
