Sometimes I forget how lucky I am to live where I do. I’m not a fan of New Yorks politics, cost of living, or weather, but western NY has some of the best fishing on the planet. We don’t have blues or flats but we have some channel cats that rival some of the blues. As you can see in my pic lol. But nothing beats the insane variety of fish we have. From 6-8lbs smallmouth, 50” musky and 30lbs kings to 7lbs largemouth, 16” perch, and trophy 20+ lbs trout of all species (I don’t think we have tiger trout tho). We also have sturgeon but you’re not allowed to fish for them in NY.

Almost forgot to watch this. I was out crappie fishing yesterday when it dropped. Not too many. I realize my first 30 years of catfishing I don't know anything compared to what I've learned here the last few years. Thanks a ton as always for sharing brother!! 👍🏽👊🏽✊🏽☺💯

Spencer is THE KING OF THE CAN-DO ATTITUDES!!!

Just a great trip. Seems we can tolerate a lot if the fish are biting. Thanks for taking us out on the cold and windy day. Stay safe.

Some great fishing! Again, great fun and thanks for taking us along! God bless all here.

Awesome video as always Spencer. Thanks for sharing!

Perfect opportunity, and you used it. Good trip, content. Lived in north central Iowa-Humbolt/Dakota City- while in my single digit age. DesMoines ran on both sides of town then joined into one couple miles south. They had a bait there, back then, called sour carp. Haven't come across it anywhere else, but have started some using it after being with me using it. Carp fillets, cubed to your target size, 1 inch and up. Was soaked in tepid water, some milk, spoiled but not rotted. Caught all four whisker verities with it.

I am also interested in booking a guided cat hunt with you sometime, so send me some information on that if floats your boat !

Grosser the better when using winter kill shad. Get the ones with a lil green on them that are still firm

We appreciate you putting out the great videos. We’re you up on Saylorville?

almost as bad as the fish kills from red tide when I was a kid in Florida, only in Fla. it happened in the hottest part of summer, this was back before A/C was an affordable luxury. It still brings tears to my eyes just thinking about the wonderful smells

When it's cold I've found that weather trends need to be 3+ days. Then fish usually get more patternable, mainly because the bait tends to gather better either deep or shallower.

I’m glad they haven’t made smellavision! I was thinking that it must smell pretty bad but cats don’t mind they like gross stuff! Another great video Spencer!

Off topic but you got to try the Red Hot Goldfish Limited Edition your welcome!!!

Talons are absolutely worth the investment if you fish shallow at all. Even better if you are in current or waves because they constantly monitor themselves and automatically adjust their depth to maintain the anchor. PowerPoles aren’t bad but they don’t hold nearly as well as Talons. And they don’t monitor their depth.

What a terrible problem to have to suffer through, but at least it was a nice Blessing to have had the crushed ice of a semi frozen slushy to help keep the fragrance down to a minimum. Imagine that being say 10 degrees warmer, and no breeze to push it past you. Yet I'm betting if the fish were biting, you'd have struggled through all the same. Sacrifices one takes for the addiction of possibly catching a very nice fish. Makes one wonder what normal people are doing on such days as this doesn't it.. Exactly my point. 😂

Gar is a bait species? Lol I do gently release with every fish unless I have to toss.

Like I know the channel cats aren't all the same color but 2 cats caught in the same area that are totally different in color is pretty cool if you ask me lol

I am curious Spencer, why do you choose your rods. I can understand spinning and baitcaster.. but you have big ones and the low profile baitcasters..

Are you using the 5 to 1 or 7 to 1 reel
