Fishing for HUGE CATFISH using a Deeper Fishfinder | TAFishing
Ойын-сауық
Get a Deeper: amzn.to/2cPYaxp So I caught my first UK Catfish and it was MASSIVE! Well for me anyway. We set out using the Deeper Pro+ fishfinder to locate any fish that were sitting right on the lake bottom. With the weather being so warm the other fish species like carp, roach and bream would be higher up in the water column. However, the catfish are predominantly bottom feeders even in summer. Using the gps mapping feature on the Deeper we were able to spot a number of areas on the lake where there were fish showing on the bottom. We targeted these areas with a simple one hook rig and half a section of Bluey as bait. After a wait of about an hour and a half I hooked into a big catfish that put up an epic fight! See more details below.

i think its nice to see a father and son fishing, anyone agree, i spent years teaching three boys to fish from a very young age, drove me mental at first, anyone been there, nice to spend a day with them now they grown up,
graeme pullen could catch the clap in a nunnery
These videos (especially the production value) have really improved since I started watching. Good work, keep it up!
I love your shows. Fantastic viewing all round. Always down to earth and full of good tips. You and your lad make a great duo. Keep up the great work 👍🏻
Great job Michael!
Vintage! Nice one Mike!

Have you ever thought about fishing places in England where the catfish are almost continental sized (80 lb. plus), such as Furnace Lakes Fishery or the Oakwood Park Predator Lakes?
I'd love to know how to make the raptor oil any chance of a video? 😅😉
Did you put the wire trace on or... Btw nice vid keep it up
how can i get one of your t shirts. i love your video . keep up the good work.
Good Catfish.
That's a weird looking catfish. More eel like in all actuality. Great catch!!

I got an idea for a vid. You ever try zig rigs?
Where can you buy big bags of pellet ?
Wow! I didn't know its possible to reel in a 36pound fish on a 15pound main line! I thought the line would have broken the instant the fish started to pull.

Generally monofilament line (nylon)has a 10% stretch factor. If you look through the IGFA World record listings you will be amazed at how big the fish are caught on light line.

I’ve caught a 400-450lbs Marlin on 30 lbs monofilament before, it’s not the strength of the line but the drag that stops line breaking
Why was you on around the edge of Lake lol 😂😂😂
does itwork on salt waters
Go to coppice lane fishery in licfield they are a good place to catch all round fish (:
that crazy that theres fish in there that big.looks like there be no fish or small ones.

Ive caught most of my cats from a dumbell rig 10 inches below surface of water, so they dont just feed of the bottom. Great video tho lads

It has built in gps and connects to your phone via wifi
If you have no drag on the fish will pull your rod in the water though and that happened to me unfortunately mate.
crikey thats a tiny hook. here in germany most use at least 3/0 trebles or 4/0 single hooks for fish smaller than that! stunning fish tho dude, well done!
is it a runs water for catfish or are you just getting lucky?
Very nice. I've eaten them in Malawi. Wonder how a UK one would taste.....?

great vids chaps, using a fish finder is not cheating, every fisherman cheats, cheats the fish out of a meal, keep up the great work tony in wales
You need to use a coated braid
What a horrible little puddle to fish in, cracking catfish though
nice fish! ( massive understatement ). interesting change in video style, nice but can someone fall in the pond please. Thankyou both.
Thirr, nice vid.

Have you ever tried popping for Catfish?
@TAFishing
Жыл бұрын
Yes,if you mean a popping float like I use in the Florida Keys for Speckled trout with shrimp bait. No joy yet,but I know it works. Or if you mean a surface popping lure,then no, I have not tried that.

@@TAFishing We have been using this technique with great success for catfish in South Africa. We hang a lure with a specific buoyancy about 30 centimeters to 1 meter below a proper. The proper attracts the attention of the catfish and it grabs the lure below the popper. This technique simulates a bird or other animal on the surface of the water and the catfish cannot resist this. I do have more information about the technique if you are interested.
Good video but im not a fan of this technology. You may aswell play a fishing video game.

catfish are not bottom feeders at all
@heartattakjoe7152
8 жыл бұрын
seconded. they snap leeches and bunches or giant nightcrawlers suspended at or just below the surface with unbelievable force. savage takes. their bottom lips actually protrude slightly, meaning popped up baits are taken easier. on rivers we use u-posen (in line underwater floats) on the hooklength just above the hooks to suspend the bait for a natural presentation, or float fish using 200g+ "buoys" as bolt rig floats

Catfish are NOT bottom feeders! Look at the mouth structure and compare it to a carp, which is a bottom feeder. Catfish are predators like bass and pike. They hunt all through the water column.

But our baits are hard on the lake bed bottom ?? Hundreds of fishermen catch Catfish with baits on the bottom,both river and lake . Over here in the UK anyway . I guess nobody told the Cats they are doing it all wrong.
third wow what a fight
Why don't you just chip the fish before you put them in

How? So all those fishing boats around the world that use echo sounders and boat sonars are cheating too? Each to their own and I get that it is your opinion. But in my opinion it is not cheating. Deeper does not catch you the fish, it helps to locate fish holding areas. No different to plumbing the lake with a float, except this time it gives you more detail on water temperature and contours. Mike
Not for me really. Feels like cheating.

stop looking at your phone and fish
It's not really fishing 😕

Some people would say using a modern hook and monofilament/braid line isn't really fishing. It gives such an unfair advantage.... The sport changes and advances with technology. Using a fish finder doesn't guarantee fish will be caught. And you still have to know where to find the fish on the water so your finder can find them. A fish finder is simply a tool that lets you know if your intuition about a spot was right or not. I've seen guys use fish finder and not find any fish because they wasn't looking in the right spot. The only thing the finder told them was they was idiots.
If people wanna see fishing skip to 9mins.... jeez
