When You THINK You Got It Figured Out

I just couldn't find the big bite. Was really thinking I was a step ahead of them. Turns out I was not LOL. But a good day for fishing. Not going to complain about that.

I feel you frustration here on pickwick grass and barges all day

[@givemeabreakdoc]

So glad there no barges up the Cumberland where I’m at.

[@FightinChanceFishing-Spence]

You had one of those days where it looked like you were catching the same fish over and over. Thanks for the vid.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Lol yeah they were all about the same size. I caught quite a few like that.

[@STR8KRAZYFISHING]

I really would love to make a trip to fish with you one day 😁

[@user-wd9jg5fi3m]

Micka every time you get a fish im always hoping it bigger than your 122 pounder

[@user-xv9bi3ne9m]

That's why us pond and lake fishermen call you guys river warriors. You all have to fight the current and barges for your spots. Keep up the good fight. Be blessed. My friend.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. Yeah it gets a little tough out there but honestly it's frustrating at times but I love it.

[@travishanger8604]

Glad to see you still putting in the time. Monster's are coming in the near future. Your too good of a fisherman and as a person for it to not happen. Still super stoked to see what you and Riverdickhead have planned especially for the yaks. Stay safe and tight lines

[@mickaburkhart14]

Lol thank you.

[@chriswalls5831]

Nice cats , it's time for another 100 lb plus catfish get em

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. Lol I'm working on it.

[@user-ti8pv2no6s]

I’m actually trying to start my own channel so any advice you could give would be greatly appreciated. Good luck and thanks for sharing your experience with us all.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Absolutely. If you follow me on Facebook just send me a message and I can answer whatever questions you have.

[@jutnjenrasmussen8637]

Man I bet they’re messed up from the water fluctuations. I cleaned some crappie Monday that we caught in 14’ of water and three still had some eggs in them. They weren’t full and we also caught spawned out females with them but a few still had eggs. I’m guessing with the water fluctuations that they held off longer. Usually by mid to late May they’re done but here we are the first week in June and some seem to be waiting to finish up or not going to finish. I think the TVA really does try hard to kill the fishery system. On the Cumberland anyway

[@mickaburkhart14]

Yeah I agree with that. It's been a little weird out there for sure.

[@bjcoutdoors]

Great day of fishing right there brother. Enjoyed it my friend 👍

[@trinityoutdoors]

Another great video brother thanks for sharing.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you

[@HomesickforAlaska]

Thats A LOT of barges. Most I have seen on my stretch of the TN river is 3 in one day, 75% of the time I don't see any and when I do its usually only one.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Yeah I know. I've never seen that many in one day.

[@user-fn7kb9rv8f]

Het Micka what kind of boat and width and length are you using? I need something pretty sturdy to fish from

[@mickaburkhart14]

I have the lowe catfish 20. It's now called the Outlet 20. It's a real sturdy platform for sure. I don't know the exact specs but you can hope on the lowe website and it will be there.

[@michaelknight9112]

Awesome video

[@michaelknight9112]

World's best medicine wet a fishing line

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you

[@user-ti8pv2no6s]

Hey man. How’s it going? Good I hope. I was wondering if you could help me out? How much weight do you recommend for a dragging weight dragging in 40 -60,000 gpm current? Or how much weight period to hold baits in place anchored in that kind of current?

[@BigTpark]

Man those rivers are different animals than our lakes here in Oklahoma. I mean, once fall gets here, the wavy boats and water rockets go away and the lake is ours. I'm guessing you deal with those barges year round??

[@mickaburkhart14]

Yeah it's never really been that bad with the barge traffic. I ended up having 11 barges come by that day. It was unreal lol.

[@givemeabreakdoc]

What’s your water temp down that way? Up here around Gainesboro, it’s 59.

[@mickaburkhart14]

We are around 72 ish degrees.

[@ernestperdue7611]

Are you useing the chunky weights

[@mickaburkhart14]

Well they are coin sinkers I think.

[@riverrat988]

Ya never know. Great video

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. Yes that's a fact 😆

[@ToledoFlatheads]

Where did you get your bimini top

[@mickaburkhart14]

I got it off of Amazon. I think it was about 300 bucks.

[@fredziffel3443]

Not trying to tell you what to do, but I would pull up my britches and go elsewhere.😂

[@mickaburkhart14]

Lol I've got trips planned. But the fishing here is gonna flip a switch here really soon. Then it's going to be alot of fun.

[@JayTurner-lg1wh]

Did you try that barge app I told you about?

[@mickaburkhart14]

The barge app?

[@JayTurner-lg1wh]

@@mickaburkhart14 Marine Traffis app….free version shows 90% of barge traffic.

[@JayTurner-lg1wh]

@@mickaburkhart14 it’s called Marine Traffic…..shows majority of barge traffic. I have looked up your area on it and it shows barges there.

[@jimbo70fun]

Micka your a river warrior take on all those barges Question you mostly fish or you hunt also

[@mickaburkhart14]

Lol thank you. I mainly fish now. I use to hunt alot. Just kinda needed to focus on one or the other so I chose fishing lol.

[@jimbo70fun]

@@mickaburkhart14 sound like me fishing wins with getting older

[@hunter5858]

Maybe you should have tryed bumping Micka 😊

[@mickaburkhart14]

Well I was walking baits back at every spot but you probably right. I could have done that.
