Well This Was a Pretty Cool Day

[@eze.Morning_Wood_Farms]

I appreciate you showing different techniques and explaining everything you are doing. I've always been a sit and fish guy. Never had anyone break things down like you have. Definitely caught my interest. Have boards coming and several upgrades for catfishing. Definitely my favorite species to chase. Great work.

[@mickaburkhart14]

@@eze.Morning_Wood_Farms well I'm glad I could help in some small way. I just want everyone to be as successful as I have so no big secrets here lol.

Asian carp has become a "preferred" bait on the lower Wabash. Blues here love it, stays on hook really good, "in fact, you nearly have to cut it off to change it", and keeps easily 7 to 10 days in a fridge with minimal ice on it.

[@mickaburkhart14]

@@rogermosberger6856 yeah that's definitely good to hear. But your right it's pretty tough to get off the hook.

@@stephenbriles8404 thank you. Glad I can help in some small way. Well I haven't yet anyway 🙃. Yeah that was a big fish for sure.

[@HomesickforAlaska]

Another GREAT VIDEO Micka. I am hoping that the tropical storm remnants we are getting later this week and the influx of cooler water will be the start of the fall transition. I have done kinda ok with commercial cured carp in the past, but Skipjack, Bluegill and Chicken (in that order) have produced much better results for me personally. But I do have to admit that carp stays on the hook almost to good, it can be hard to get it off at the end of the day.

[@mickaburkhart14]

@@HomesickforAlaska thank you. Yeah I'm hoping rain and cooler weather helps cool this water down. So hopefully these fish will get to biting again. Or better anyway.
