Fishing Sunken Barges for Flatheads (Pre-Spawn Feedbags)

Ойын-сауық

Mike and I took to the river to try and get a few pre-spawn flatheads and get Mike on his first flatheads of the season. We succeeded in a big way! We mainly targeted sunken barges in and around Pittsburgh, PA on the 3 rivers. You never know what a night of fishing will have in store and on this one, we were not disappointed!

    Thanks again for watching! New Cumberland boat launch is in the Pike Island pool of the Ohio River, its just downstream from New Cumberland dam. Pike Island dam is at the bottom of the pool. I believe that pool is about 25 miles long, dam to dam.

    I appreciate that, thanks for watching! I keep my rigs very basic, only 2 I use are 3 way rigs with varying lengths for weight/hook leaders and carolina rigs. Occasionally, if we have very little current, I'll use a peg float about 6" above my hook to keep the bait off the bottom and keep from getting lost in cover. I never use rattles. I have friends that have success using them but from my own experience, I didn't notice a difference from the couple times I've tried them.

    Why didn't you show yourself weighting the 40 lbs. Fish it would make a better video

    Sometimes weighing makes the cut Sometimes it doesn't. Honestly, it all depends on the footage I get.
