most people don't have fish finders and depth finders and they certainly don't know what depth the fish will be active on any given day. . I figured out a rough method of determining depth. Once depth is determined we have a reference as to how far off the bottom we would like our bait to be presented.
DETERMINE ROUGH DEPTH:
slip a heavy sinker/weight (3oz) onto your line. slip on a bead or two to protect the float that you will 'fix' to the END of your line. *the float is fixed at the end. the line is free to move through the sinker/weight
Determine a distance on your pole from the reel to the first eyelet on your rod. Measure this distance and remember it - this measurement you will use as a reference later. It can be whatever you want, just measure it, and mark it.
Now cast out to the area of the water where you would like to know how deep it is and leave your bail open. WHat you are doing is allowing the float to reach the waters surface. when you see the float slowly reel in the slack until the line is taut from rod to float. at this point if you tug your line you will see your float bob... perfect
Here's the magic part; using your marked measurement on your pole you are going to measure the length of line that it takes until you've pulled your float down until you feel it bump into your weight on the waters bottom . As you are reeling in line you are carefully watching and counting how much line you are bringing in. continue to reel, measure, and count until the float meets the weight ( you will have to feel this - that is why I like to use a heavy weight and a large float ) the amount of line that you measures is the rough depth of the water and the spot where you cast.
Using the 'depth' of your knowledge you can now accurately set a stop for your slip float in order to fish whatever depth your heart desires.
THis trick is more accurate when you use a larger weight and a larger float. The large float is what makes it more accurate, due to current and line slack. the weight just has to be big enough to not move.
Thanks but the vast majority of boats have fish finders these days.
Thank God you said that! I thought I went deaf!
Can I use this in a river with a current ?
if you're targeting catfish holding in the slack water areas.
live blue gills kills em everytime js
I made 1K , congrats
'What if you don't have any electronics? How do you know where to find the fish?
Good deal. I fished Bluegill under slip bobber in less than 4' of water, lake fishing, 95% of last yr and caught a ton of Channels. The only time I didn't use a bobber was when it was too windy. Caught a lot of Bass too and a few nice Walleye. At night I use a lighted bobber. In my early days I was taught to fish deep water on the bottom. That's OK for heat of summer, daytime or fishing for Blues. I seldom fish deep water anymore unless I'm targeting Flatheads in holes.
That's plenty good man. The record blue here, which was 153 lbs, was caught using 30 lb test.
What state
I know this video is 10 years old but someone told me to use a slip bobber for Cats at 8ft and I was just like "how do you cast out 8ft of line" this helped me thanks bro👍
Your the catfishman. .❤🎉😅
Would this rig be good for fishing off the bank? I've been trying many different rigs and this one I've never tried. I don't really use stink bait, but I use a lot of chicken liver and cut shad. What would be the best rig for bank fishing?
Yes
My right ear is lonely :(
Can you use this in moving water like rivers?
Yes in slack water areas.
Can I fish on bottom.
And use this setup.
Just need the bobber as a bite indicator
Yes, I suppose
I read that whole 101 article, and it had no info about rigging slip bobbers, but just said to do it. That's ok though, I know ways to do it. I'm curious why you like treble hooks over circle hooks?
Stephanie Michelle Treble hooks for channel catfish
In very high current when I'm fishing from sure i like to be in an eddy and yea your going to have to ditch the straw and recast a lot. A Sante Cooper rig would be your best bet. Those big flatheads and blues suspend pretty far of the bottom in Late July and August in large rivers.
I fish Brownlee Reservoir which is actually an impoundment of the Sanke River that separates Oregon and Idaho. It is 70 miles long and varies in depth to over 100 feet. We typically fish from the bank, and I'm wondering if Channel Catfish move into shallower water (water we could reach with the slip bobber rig) at night time? I have heard that they do this, but not sure if it a common thing that Channels do?
Channel catfish spend time in shallow water day and night.
Thanks for sharing! Just subbed!
giong to an allnight catfishng tornimrnt will lt u kno how it went with the bobber setup tx
What if you are shore fishing in a river that has some current to it? Would the current pull your line to shore? Should you use a santee rig or slip sinker rig in that case?
Probably
When using a Santee rig, is it not good to use a latch swivel to easily change out hook sizes?
This makes it to where you dont have to have youre line hanging down 20 ft when ur trying to cast wish i knew about these a lot sooner
LOL
how do bobber stops work?
do you put them on after you cast or do you put them on before?
can your real them all the way onto your real?
dkblazy Before. They work better on spinning reels, and they'll go right on to the reel.
How do you hook set with treble hook with dip bait for the channel cats?. Also what would you use if you don’t have a furry thang to keep the bait on your hook
Set it like you normally would.
You can use a sponge or dip bait tube.
Or you can switch to punch bait and just use a plain treble hook to keep it on
informative i`ve used similar rigs they work main thing is to keep line in the water-good fishing
just wondering if anybody knows a good rig setup (weights,line,leader,etc) for fishing from the bank for blue and flathead catfish. I have an abu garcia with 65 lb braid. Is that sufficient?
When using this type of rig do you let the fish take the bobber all the way under before you set the hook? Or do you just let them take it and run with it?
Depends on which species
Will this setup replace the need for a Santee rig?
Why do you use and show treble hooks when you talk of channel cats? I use circle or Khales and have no problem. I am new to the circle hook but not having any trouble. I hate treble hooks because I gut to many fish when I use them and over all find them a pain in the ass.
+Jay Smooth Because when I fish for channel catfish I target numbers and use prepared bait
I love fishing with slip bobbers. I'm going to try a idea of a homemade glow in the dark version that will be out of clear plastic tubes with screw on lids,cheap Bic pens ,hot glue and those glow in the dark kids bracelets from Dollar Tree. Really the only tools needed is a drill and the hot glue gun.
You want a easy one to see at night take a led diode and a watch battery. Sliding the battery in between the legs of the diode and then electrical taping them together and then just tape it to the top of the slip bobber. Lasts up to 20 hours, just intake it all and let it dry separated after each use.
Worthless info unless you have a boat and a depth/fish finder. What about us poor bank fisherman?
People use slip bobbers from the shore all the time.
Um...the bobber rig is one of the most useful ways to fish from the bank. I use it all the time to fish snaggy waters or spots where placing the bait using traditional methods is difficult. My biggest channel cat was caught using live sucker on a bobber rig.
Chad , Im new to your site . Just bought me a new Center Console and am really excited ta get going in the Catfishing. What is a good all around starter catfish rig that will handle 10 ta 50 pounders. I really enjoy your site, I think it's one of the most informative
Check out www.catfishedge.com/catfish-rigs/
What size hook? I use a size 6 or 8 for mealworms
How about if u are fishing from the shore?
Big cat wher did you get your LEDs in side your boat
James, look on my channel or on www.catfishedge.com all the info is there!
going to Calaveras lake in couple weeks, i will use this trick , thanks !
Awesome! That's a good lake!
TY for doing the vids,, great info !!! Thumbs up,and sub.
+zofoblues Thanks
Is their any way to catch channel cats and not those darn bullheads
Im from virginia and we use bullheads for bait,the flatheads love them.
Thank u I have two of my rod set to go
wen I tie slip bobber on the eyelits on my rod tear off the knot.wen I cast out...can someone till me how I stop it..
Are you using manufactured bobber stops?
Catfish Edge. yes I'm am.got them
at Wal-Mart
Maybe you're not getting them tight enough. It shouldn't be an issue.
how do you know it's catfish on the fish finder?
Stephanie Michelle Location, size, shape, strength of return, shadows
Will this work in grassy watet
Yes
did you say you had some diagrams ? didnt see them on the site
www.catfishedge.com/catfish-rigs/
can u use circle hooks with slip bobbers?
Yes
would this work in 50+ feet of water?
Yes, but probably not the best approach
Great video. Thanks!
Where can I find bobber stops? I have never seen those before
Most sporting goods stores will have them
***** Can't you tie bobber stops too?
Bro the audio, try to fix it plz
Nothing we can do about it on this video, sorry.
Are these still good for bank fishing if so how could you know the depth and location of the fish
+Sharpshot G19 yes on bank fishing, use Navionics app for depth
Sharpshizzle G9teen deeper fish finder
does this work in ponds?
Yes
great video
+YAK MAN thanks
does this work in ponds?
Yes
How would I fish a slip bobber rig in a river with current?
Fish the slack water areas
How do you determine the slack areas?
try to find a spot up stream of a creek and cast out in it. or use a floating jig walking sinker. or split shot (3) every six inches from ur swivel. that lsdt one skips
