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.

    @@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.

    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

    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

    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.
