!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LFG I have fished lake fork my entire life and a good tip is to not bait your lines until right before dark. Use worms or small bluegill because they stay alive longer you can also cut a shad shape out of a pie pan and put that on the hook the moonlight hits it and attracts catfish plus it doesn’t fall off👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌 lake fork, lake of the pines and bob sandlin are the best lake to do that at

There ain't nothing like it. I thank God every day for fishing. Stay safe and tight lines.

OSG is the best thank god for women like her!

Best family on KZread for sure!!!

Fish mug is pretty cool. Awesome dad gifts forever!!!

I have found that shrimp attract all manner of species, including panfish. They tend to get picked off the hook. My favorite jugging baits are chicken gizzards soaked in minced garlic and hotdog chunks soaked in garlic and strawberry jello. I've hooked 40 - 50 lb catfish on these baits.

I'm so glad you enjoyed your Breakfast with Family. Happy Fathers Day Jason💖 The MM is the Guy to ask! Enjoy Dinner with LFD and Family. Happy Father's Day LFD💖. JO JO IN VT 😆💕

Justin use pink Zote soap. Its a bar soap you can buy it Walmart. Its clean and cheap. Only catfish will bite it. We use it all the time in South Texas Lake Corpus Christi. Combine that with medium circle hooks and you will do well

Family is everything, great video LFG

Hey I Got something for you DM🖕!!.

so i make what i like to call " nuke ems" . just microwave some shrimpies with a little water and some kind of seasoning ( lawrys, old bay, etc.. ) and they become super rubbery and stay on the hook really well. its gonna make the house smell for a bit, but i highly recommend it! catfish seem to like a little bit of the spice.

Your voice is just so dang calming.

Happy Father’s Day bud! You are living the American dad dream. Enjoy every minute! Keep up the good work

I sure learn a lot reading your comments thank you

Loved this! Favorite "Googan" vid for a long time. Haven't gotten out fishing this year enough. Watching this brought me back to Canal Life in Seville Florida. Ran lines with my Grandfather and got around on a golf cart. You've got it going on, get to live the "retired" life but for prime time of raising your kids. Absolutely love it and you deserve it Mr Rackley. Happy Fathers Day a day late Definately try leaving them overnight or at least longer

We always let our jugs and trot lines sit over night, but that’s just the way I was taught.

Same here with trot lines, but not jugs.

Evidently I'm late... I knew you were gonna have another child, didn't know he was already here. Congratulations to both of you.

LFG and Bamabass is all I need on KZread hahaha another good one brother

heat of summer, catfish are in the deep oxygenated holes... like a creek entrance that has cut a channel and is still flowing... in the local river we are fishing creek entrances, below islands... spots where the water is disturbed and gets more oxygen

You guys need to do a Googan Squad hand noodling tournament!!

From what I was taught by my grandfather about running jugs I've found that it is best to let them soak up to 24 hours for the best effect, but I've had days when I've caught 60 fish on a trot and I have had days when I've had 6 fish on a trot so its one of those things that with conditions that change so much it's difficult to truly gauge what the catfish will do

Gamukatsu octopus circle hook is the best hook for catfish. I would also attach them to the trot line with a 10lb flouro so its more stealthy, even though catfish usually hunt by smell. And as other people have said I would have left them overnight. Ive always had luck with hot dogs, shrimp, and worms for catfish.

Always use circle hooks when catfishing and make sure that your bait is run through lengthwise on the hook or poked through more than once. That will make it harder for the fish to steal the bait without getting itself hooked. Also, be sure that the point of the hook is not buried in the bait and sticks out past the barb. I find that when I rig my bait up like this, I have more success. Another thing that could be happening, is that your bait could be getting stolen by sunfish or whitebass or turtles. This has happened to me a lot, but since rigging my bait better it doesn’t happen as much. It looked like some of your lines were next to shore in shallower water. I would try deeper water with it being so hot and see if that makes a difference. I also want to suggest using a different bait. I’ve used shrimp and night crawlers, livers and shad with success, but the best in my experience has been little sunfish. Nothing beats a fresh food source that comes from the water you are fishing in. Little sunfish work well, but if you can catch shad in your cast net that’ll work really well too. Hope that helps. Good luck!!

I agree with the Flair’d(lol) side of the point needing to be exposed. It just will not work if it can’t dig in with a gentle pull. But fish will not clean the hook entirely while a turtle will get every last bit of it. Since he has never had any bit of the bait left I’m going towards turtles. And he will have to learn how to make turtle stew or relocate them. Turtle stew is yummmy btw.

@@jalvp1195 I forgot to mention that I’ve had crawfish take my bait as well. I’ve noticed when it’s a turtle, it always seems to be the same turtle. Lol. I’ve never trot lined or jugged, but I use circle hooks when I pole fish them. They hook themselves but I’ve had them get off while reeling them in. So what I do now is I set the hook once I’m sure it has it. Not as hard as you would for a bass, but hard enough that it digs in. When I do that I never have an issue with the fish coming off. I wonder if the fish are falling off the hook with the trot lines because there is no one to set the hook. They also could sit there unattended for hours and I suspect that increases the odds of the fish coming off the hook. It’s possible LFGs hooks may not be sharp either. I recommend Mustad ultra points or Trokar.

Use stronger bouy’s and heavier weights. Try chicken gizzards or hearts soaked in garlic. Works great in my area.

Love it Justin - LFG GREAT VIDEO

Frozen Skipjack cut in chunks. Bait is greasy and cats love it

According to an older friend of mine catfish start spawning mid June! Could be shallower!

Since you live so close to the water, get you some perch traps and catch bluegill and sun fish and bate the hooks with that. They stay on the hook much better. Also get you some gold fish from the pet store, they work as well.

We always have best luck with live bait and circle hooks. If a creek or river is flowing into the lake, set up on current seams. Otherwise we set in areas you would typically find the bait you are using.

Ivory soap is what we used to use for bait on lines.

Love the vid. You and Richard Gene have the best content

Cut pieces of chicken breast with nothing added to it have been working for me using jugs, trout lines, and suspending baits on Rayburn and Livingston the last few weeks.

Run the over night. Bait about an hour before dark, and check ever 2 hours after dark. That's what we do here in SC on Santee Cooper

I fish the Rio Grande river in south texas and a bait I use for trotlines is Zote soap, i cut it into small cubes , I don't know why but it out catches anything I've tried shrimp, cut bait(shad and tilapia), worms. Many times about 50% of the hooks have a fish when I pull them out. But yea Zote soap leave it overnight and fill the cooler in the morning. Try it next

I watch you for learning, sorry can’t help. Lol. But enjoyed seeing the family, that Ben, I sure see your eyes in him. Looks like a nice Father’s Day was had. 💙 ~ Texas

For during the day set Jugs in the mouth of creeks about 5ft off the bottom. For trot line try setting them on some mud flats in 5-10ft of water. Maybe shallower and let them soak for a night. Cut bait for blues and channels, live bait for flatheads. How we do it here on Missouri lakes

Never done trot lines with bouys like that. Have always tied one end to a stake of tree on the bank and stretched them out into the river. 100ft typically and let them sit over night. Lots of memories as a kid goin with dad and grandpa setting trot lines before dark, then pole fishing till midnight or so then goin back in the morning to check trot lines.

We have more luck with singular jugs. We use two circle hooks on the liter drop shot style with loop knots. We drop them deep though in the channel. Some 60-70 deep, though most 40-50 (depends on the depth of your channel obviously). We drop them on the wind direction side of the channel and let them drift into the other side. We use live bait, shad preferably. On a good day we'll bring home over 100 lbs of blue cat, and routinely catch 20 and 30 lb. blues.

Best piece of advice I have is get some good fresh bait. Shad blue gill white bass crappie,something like that. I set jugs out on my lake on Father’s Day I only had 15 but there was another guy out there had over 100 jugs and I didn’t see one of his bouncing with a fish we were fishing the same spot practically and only difference I can figure was bait. The fish weren’t tearing it up by any means only caught 10 but good enough to eat on.

Love the videos bro

Trot lines are illegal in WI, so this is all new to me. A neighbor growing up had a huge rack of lines and hooks for fishing in the Mississippi. So I've seen the gear but zero experience.

Hey was just curious about the lake life family channel, miss those videos guys

My favorite Googan

You seemed to be setup pretty decent, depending on your laws you should try to set them up in some stump fields just on the edge of the field, tie to a stump on one side and a buoy on the other if your laws allow it, good luck to you!

Now that was a great video

I usually check the lines in the evening rebait and check in the morning. I like using goldfish, crawfish, and shiners.

Leave them out over night, I like to use perch, cut up drum and chicken gizzards as bait but shrimp works too

Snap clips and circle hooks are pretty key for long lines/trot lines. You're absolutely right about how dangerous long lines can be. Seen it or the results of it too often.

Chicken liver never fails me

Great video. Happy Father’s Day

I'd try some small sunperch. Small ones, use them live and bigger ones, cutbait.

I got the same cooler. But I have the Otterbox venture 65 real tree camo with cutting board and ice separator. Came with the bottle opener and the dry box tray. Paid 350$ in Fort Collins, Colorado 😎 where I live for the past 6 years.

Bigger floats loose lines lose fish milk jugs one for every 15 ft of trot line create a drawn out W or to structure, with sharp hooks, I lived with on a acidic lake had to replace my hooks every three days with sharpened hooks!!! My average was 14 lbs on my bream lines, 2.5 lbs on my Charlie lines but was a Private lake!!! Baited at sundown and at 10pm, earlier just meant smaller or bait stealers, always baited before a storm or timed them leaving their spawning beds!!!

Need to try hog lungs!!! Great bait, stays on the hook way better than shrimp.

Styrofoam cooler is better for storing your lines you just push them in along the top of the inside wall around it and if you knock it over you won’t get them tangled and won’t fall out

Take 3/4" PVC and cut it about 18" long. Stand then around the inside of your 5 gallon, then put a 1 gallon round icecream bucket in the middle. It takes 30 tubes to line the 5gallon. Then put your leaders in the tubes with hook on the edge of the PVC. Put the rest of your trotline in the middle of the bucket and you shouldn't have any tangles...

In Texas, June is a pretty difficult month for trotlines/juglines. Catfish are typically spawning right now, so you won't usually catch much. I run lines year-round at Lake Houston, and I typically just take this month off. Some other pointers: Circle hooks usually help keep the fish hooked a lot better than those J hooks, typically setting a line in the evening (right before sunset) and checking it the following morning works really well, and work on throwing a cast net. Fresh shad, cut bait and bluegill are the best. Any of that store bought dough and vacuum sealed shad doesn't really last long on a hook. If you have any other questions, feel free to message me man and I can help ya out. And if you're ever in the Houston area and want to run some lines and get a cast net tutorial, let me know!

I catch a lot of catfish during their spawn up against rip rap. I bet you are right, that’s why he isn’t catching them. The technique I use when spawning is different than the way I fish for them the rest of the time. The fish are probably not even in that part of the lake where he was fishing.

Fresh bait, got to get cast net working!

I use wild hog liver on my lines and it works well

Best advice I was ever given, was by my grandfather… always have a knife. I’ve carried one everyday for almost 2/3 of my life. Amazing how many times someone asks if anyone has a knife. I can cut a hotdog, or anything. You never know when your 4 year old wants half a hotdog.

This time of year I would suggest challower water.

You will get those kitty cats next time

We use chicken liver and cut bait from fresh blue gill

i jug fish in ohio 1-2 times a week and use chicken liver only for channle and blues then i use cut bait or live creek chubs/sunfish weighted down on the bottom for flats just got a 30 lb blue last week at hoover the lake by me

Use catalpa worms and set it late for an overnight soak.

Put them out before sunset and check them the next morning

Live blue gills LFG!

Catfish bite been slower than usual in my area in East Texas.. dern weather ain’t helping either.

No Sig Hunter Games this year?? I figured that’s where you had been!

On our jugs we use chicken liver wrapped in pantyhose, just cross tie the corners, these work well for blues. For Ops we use bream or chunks of Buffalo.

Cut up drum or bluegill. Usually works for me.
