The Catfish Were Stacked On This Ledge
Спорт
Another Potomac trip and more really big catfish! The blue catfish were stacked up on a ledge I usually try to fish each time I go down there, but this time there were so many catfish there I ended up fishing it all day. Thanks for watching!

Hey man good to hear from you! Glad you liked the video I'll be keeping them coming for at least a while.
Another banger man! Glad you're getting some time on the water! As soon as the holidays are past im getting my boat in the shop. Scared to see what the bills gonna be...but not as scared of that as i am about what kind of monster im gonna turn into of i dont get back on the water soon lololol!!! Looks like you had a beautiful day out there, cant beat early December, above freezing, no winds, doesnt get much better than that this time of year. Happy holidays man!

Hey man good to hear from you! I didn't know you were having that many boat issues that sucks to hear. It's never cheap with boats unfortunately. I hear ya on turning in to a monster if you don't get out and I was starting to get pretty bad late summer in to fall when I wasn't getting out. If you want to get out some time this winter just give me a call or text I'll get you out for sure. I have a lot of time off since I worked too much this year so I can go if you can and the weather is doable. Have a great Christmas bud!

Thanks man! Yeah that place is crazy, one of the few places that has structure and it happens to be next to one of the deepest holes in that area. That ledge has produced so many times for me. If you ever see me fishing there feel free to come up and say hi and fish that area too. Hopefully I don't bring too much attention to that spot with these videos. I think I'm done hitting it for a bit to get some variety in my videos. Just hard to resist it. Hope you get out soon!
You hit that at the right time. Your going to need a nap after that 👍👍

Another great day ! For that heartburn... eat a clove of garlic every morning. You'll never have heartburn or acid reflux again !

Thanks man and it sounds like you made it all the way to the end of the video. That sounds like a pretty healthy remedy. I really should just eat healthier on those trips- they always end up in junk food galore. I think if I ate a clove a morning my wife would divorce me, she hates the smell of garlic. I bet it works though thanks for the tip!

Haha yeah it's anywhere from 2hr 45 mins to 3.5hrs depending on traffic. Honestly it's not always easy to motivate myself to go that far but luckily having a youtube channel helps light that fire a lot of the times. I feel like I need to get a video out and then once I'm out I'm really happy that I did. But I also have a lot of vacation right now so it's easier for me at the moment. Don't feel bad if you can't get out that much man that's life. I hope you can though soon
Very nice trip and tactics 👌

that was awesome at the end how you made his swim bladder burp so he can swim down, i never seen this on youtube, what did you use , some kind of hollow tube and push inside belly ?

The rods are B'n'M Silver Cat Elite 7.5ft med/heavy casting rods. I absolutely love em they have enough give that you can feel the fight of a smaller cat but all the backbone needed for slinging 10oz weights and catching big cats. So far they haven't broken and never let me down. The burping thing was just the tube out of my livewell which is a 1" pvc tube. I should probably have a longer one because it almost didn't go far enough in to burp him. I bet a pex pipe would be better and safer for the fish. I couldn't believe how much air it had in it I really don't think it would have been able to get down on it's own.

Great vid as usual. Question? seems like you said during the video that you used 80lb line. Then later you said 30lb line. Hmmm is it 30lb main line and 80lb leader? Or did I miss something?
@TheFlattyDaddies
6 ай бұрын
Thank you and glad you liked it! Yeah my main line is 30lb Big Game mono, my leader is 80lb Eagle Claw mono. I go with the heavier leader for abrasion resistance but it's a trade off. If I get snagged I'll loose everything where as if you have a lighter leader line you may only loose the hook. Still, I prefer having that heavier leader to resist their sandpaper like teeth.
awesome catches man, nice fish. im new to catfishing and hooks got me all confused. i went to mustad site and so many, whats actual words on ur package ? the demon circle 1 2 3 or 4x 10/0 ? also is it offset or inline circle ? and is it best to tie the snell knot on the offset and inline hook which ever one you using ? thanks
@TheFlattyDaddies
6 ай бұрын
Hey man sorry it's taken so long to get back to you, I had to work out of town this week and been busy. For the hooks, I use the Mustad 3x 10/0 ultra points. I get the 25 count packs from Amazon and choose the Modern hook style. It'll say 3x strong in the title but don't select the 3x option in the selection or else they will basically be shark hooks and too thick to reliably puncture a catfish mouth. The Modern style is what I use. They are in line which makes them legal in a lot more states too. As far as the knot, I switched to the snell and it seems to help a lot and is very strong. I always make sure to bring the leader line through the back and out the front of the eye to help with hook setting. I hope this helps comment again if I didn't make sense and I'll try to explain it better. Thanks for checking out my video and I hope you get in to some good ones!
Do you prefer the MD or VA side?
@TheFlattyDaddies
3 ай бұрын
I never really thought about that, but I guess most of my spots are closer to the MD side. I have fished the VA side but I have more luck on the eastern shore. I think it's because the channel tends to be on that side more and I like to fish the channel ledges. But there's plenty of spots on the VA side of the channel that work well too. Thanks for watching!
What did you have for water temp? Looked like a great day with no wind!

Hey man thanks for watching! I put in at Marshal Hall Landing, it's a little south of Ft Washington right across from Dogue Creek cove on the east shore. It's free and is a great ramp. It's open 24/7 and has a porta jon. I think it was around 44 to 45 degrees when I was down there which seemed like a great temp with the way they were biting.

Those are some catfish rattles I found on Amazon. They have propeller style wings on them and supposedly spin in current to rattle more. So far I can say they don't hurt the bite but can't tell if it's helping yet. They are called XFISHMAN-Catfish-Rattles. Thanks for watching!

Why didnt u buy the monster hydro net 150 for just 20$ more ? You got the 80 Lol
@TheFlattyDaddies

I went with the smaller net because I'm usually by myself and often fish a lot of current. Holding those giant nets in the current with one hand and trying to net can be a pain for me so I decided on the 80. I've never found a fish that looked big in that net though and it's been plenty for me. I also have a pretty small boat so that was another reason to keep the net a little smaller. Thanks for checking out my video!
