  • I knew they lived there, but I've never tried to catch them before, at least like this. Man I love it when a plan comes together!

    Really enjoying these vids and especially the podcast while late night fishing. Super entertaining stuff. I ordered a big cat fever rod and a new kayak to get out there in the hard to reach spots. Your vids inspired me to be more adventurous and I can’t wait to do get out there and make some memories.

  • @jimfromm3981

    Great video. Several other channels were mentioning that something was happening to U-Tubers, but no one took the time to explain it. Maybe they don' t want to create any negative wish fulfillment. About thirty years ago I was writing copy for a very popular hunting program. As it gained in popularity, we started getting threats of violence to ourselves and our family. The non-violence to animals crowd gets their feelings hurt, or sees an opportunity to bilk those who do, and the first thing they do is threaten violence. I was able to trace the source to a fundraising organization, which was based in New York City. I'm guessing none of them had ever seen a sunrise or sunset, or even understood the meaning of the word stewardship. After we exposed their tactics on national TV, they found another target, and our star went on to win the Communicator Of The Year award from the N.W.F.

    It's crazy how fishing works, you and your friends go and not even be 3 ft apart and ones reeling in left and right and you can feel lucky by getting a little nibble, crazy how it works.
    Will blues and channels keep eating throughout the lower temperatures or does all the fish just cut back on the bites when it gets cold?

    • @joemanning3330
      @joemanning3330 2 года назад +1

      Cody wilson,In Ohio you can catch Blues and channels all winter long.
      Their still eating it's just a real slow bite.
      If you can find them on your fish.finder,put your bait right in their face.
      I do better on cut bait cut in the winter.
      I mostly use shad or skip jack.
      Hope this helps you out
      Good Luck.
