Where on the Schuylkill did u fish? i understand if u dont wanna call out ur spot but a general area would be a ppreciated. i usually fish around manayunk.
What I called the Schuylkill River as a kid growing up in Minersville Penna flowed BLACK as the coal mine washed the coal it produced and dumped the water in the river and it flowed black long after I left Pennsylvania. Learned to swim in it. Today it is but a small creek and flows clean and pure.
Great video guys. I am new to catfishin. Spent some time above the bridge @ Betzwood, caught my first channel a few nights ago. Will definitely try the flapper. Any suggestions for bank access north of the bridge? Thanks!
Chris, I was wondering what kind of reel capn kenny is using? It looks like an old penn 209 maybe? Keep up the good work I realy enjoy your videos. Thanks
Hey nice flathead! I have been watching your videos and i want to catch those monsters too! I was wondering if there are any good spots at pottstown schuyklkill river. What ounces weight do you use?
+seil park Thanks man, we usually use 3oz weights, sometimes if the flow is low we'll go to 2oz or if its really ripping we'll go up to 6oz. I dont fish much above black rock but I believe you could catch these in the pottstown area. Might want to try downriver some, towards black rock and even further south.
I just started catfishing this year I've caught tons of channel cats but tried for flatheads only about 2 times. both times skunked. I was using live sunnies or just chunks of sunny. fished below the norristown dam in the Schuylkill didn't catch anything is there anything you recommend I could change up to attract more flatheads?
+Neil Drummond Youve got the right bait and the right area. Check your spot and make sure the water depth is adequate, look for 5'-10' of water. When did you fish?
I went on Thursday night fished from like 5:30 til about 8pm when it was warmer had one bite. probably not deep enough water I think it was only about 3 feet. I'm going to try above the dam where the water is deeper next time.
+Devin Adams If you fish where 40lb+ cats live, you should be using a 2' leader of 40-60lb and a hook 5/0-9/0. Sinker depends on current, land or boat based. On a boat we use 2oz eggs and let them drift and move, but also use 3-8oz for anchor baits depending on current speed. I suggest fixed weights, NOT slide weights. A secret tip is to use a wine cork threaded onto the leader as a "slip float" which will elevate and flap the bait in the current, at the perfect height. We also use a small jingle bell between the cork and the hook and im gonna stop talking now.
Tracy L. explain in better detail your set up you mentioned with cork and bell thing. please and thank you. I have some screen shots and think I know what your doing but please show.
Personally I would not eat anything from the Schuylkill - Check the back of a PA fishing book and it has recommended guides for how often you should eat fish and from what water body (in PA) they came from. It also lists the contaminants.
fishing for catfish I always call it a waiting game don't you think so it's nice when you can catch and one after another that is a good idea the way you cut that bluegill it all has to do with the scent
I really like the flapper technique I'm looking forward to using it this spring and summer
Great video! Everytime i watch one of ur videos it gets me pumped to go out fishing again! Can't wait to catch me some more river monsters.

Tried the flapper tonight on the Missouri,no cats but the small mouth bass were all over it!

What's that dark shadow at 3:13? A few seconds later you turn in that direction sharply but it's gone by that point.
I fish with a chik that likes to thump her flapper before she'll cast it in a nice deep hole... 👍🏻 Hahaha U guys crack my shit up! Nice flats boys
What part of the Schuylkill is that? I'm looking for new spots. You've inspired my son and I to fish for flats! Loads of fun
always great to see the flapper in action! what type of fish was that that you cut in half around 3:40?
+weqrfawe that was a rather large sucker, perhaps my favorite flathead bait.
+Sea-Money Fishing a fallfish I believe I catch em sometimes

what fishing line you using. mono or fluocabon 20 or more
What size line and rig did you use with the flapper and size sinker ?

Thanks! I want to get started on flathead fishing but I really don't know what type of rod reel and line to use. You have a recommendations?

You don't use chumming for catfish because they are all spread out fish and they might go for chum and not bait
Live cut redbreast
