    There you are Buddy. Question, do you follow the tournament trail ? I live in west Texas close to Lubbock and we have no water. I used to tube fish and area lakes, and drop line fish the Rio Grand south of Van Horn on the border. Mostly yellow cat and a few 12-15 lb Blues. I don't live too far from muddywatercatfishing young man here on youtube.

    • @SteveDouglastheCatfishDude

      Daniel Tunks most ramps were flooded it might be a cpl weeks before its fishable. good luck and stay safe

    Do you prefer the Kentucky rig over the Santy Cooper for dragging? What helps you make your decisions for your choice?
    Thanks, M Wilcox

    • @SteveDouglastheCatfishDude
      @SteveDouglastheCatfishDude  10 лет назад

      Mike the Kentucky rig just has more bait control than the Santee rig in my opinion. Just the conditions of the water generally makes my decisions on what rigs to use. Thanks for stopping by Mike

    • @SteveDouglastheCatfishDude
      @SteveDouglastheCatfishDude  9 лет назад +1

      I very seldom keep any fish but when I do keep a few they are under 10 lbs. thanks for stopping by Travis

    • @garybiggs9010
      @garybiggs9010 6 лет назад

      I mostly catch them in the 15" - 24" range and will keep any of these for eating.
      The 18" and up you can get some belly meat off of. Not much on the smaller ones so sometimes I try and sometimes I don't.

  • @brettwinstead
    @brettwinstead 5 лет назад

    I was just curious as to how you decide where to fish on a lake? Are you looking at something in particular on the depth finder or are you just dropping lines everywhere and cruising around? Thank you!

  • @fcpd22136
    @fcpd22136 10 лет назад

    Steve, Enjoy your video's. With the recent flooding we are experiencing here on the Ohio river in Southern Indiana does the flooding change any of your "honey holes" or do they stay consistent throughout the years? Thanks keep up the good videos.

  • @earniederboven5100
    @earniederboven5100 9 лет назад

    just wondering why is skipjack usable frozen but if you freeze and use shad it doesnt work very well?

    • @MrDaryboy
      @MrDaryboy 9 лет назад

      +earnie derboven I think it depends on the body of water. I say that cause I have seen same results from fresh or frozen shad. Some say fresh is better but it really depends on the water and the day. Often times stuff thats frozen will thaw slowly releasing the scent much further and longer.

    Dang I wish I could fish that many rods here in Iowa. We can only fish two or pay another 15 bucks for a third... Do you get a special license to fish that many or is that just a regular one?

    • @SteveDouglastheCatfishDude

    why not use a drifitng weight when dragging to avoid hangups?

    • @SteveDouglastheCatfishDude
      @SteveDouglastheCatfishDude  2 года назад

      This is the best weight for dragging in my book, I still use them today. I don't play into them pretty/flashy high-dollar sinkers that still get hung up in a snag. I would rather lose 40 cents than a 3-dollars.

    Is dragging ever useful for flathead catfish

    • @SteveDouglastheCatfishDude
      @SteveDouglastheCatfishDude  7 лет назад

      not so much, dragging is more for channel cats and blues however you may land a flathead from time to time but if you're in excellent flathead waters dragging may be more effective.

  • @poolshark1438
    @poolshark1438 10 лет назад

    Hey there, looking for tips from anyone! I have an 8ft ugly stick catfish casting rod and am looking for a round baitcaster to put on it. Any ideas? I live in the midwest so there is mostly channels here, nothing compared to some of the monsters being pulled out of the water down south, but we do have some decent sized buffalo and carp to fish with that rod and reel as well. Any idea's on a good round baitcaster would be appreciated, also going to college so anything under 100 is a plus!

    • @SteveDouglastheCatfishDude
      @SteveDouglastheCatfishDude  10 лет назад

      Pool shark I use the catmaxx from BPS they are reasonably priced and last a long time , well worth the money in my book. Watch my videos of some of the big cats I catch here and you will see the catmax in action. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.

    • @poolshark1438
      @poolshark1438 10 лет назад
