All my gear is in the description of the video
I fly line my bait with light line when the water is calm. Doesnt need to go far as bait fish is close to shore. But every lake is different. Entertaining video, thanks for sharing.
Yeah, the big flatheads at night are usually near shore. Wasn’t sure about blues during the day though. These cooling lakes aren’t more than 8-9 feet deep even at their deepest.
I actually caught a lot of big catfish in Mendota this year just using thawed out un-cooked shrimp. Four of them were over twenty pounds. I also caught my biggest ever carp just under thirty pounds on shrimp.
I put a few in a Ziploc bag at a time and just grab one bag for fishing each time.
I bet if you left one of those really small channels on the line with a big treble you could catch a nice flathead. Too bad they don't let you fish there at night.
Very nice you are dressing kind of lite for thes cold Weather,it was in the single digits in that area not even gloves?
Friday was like 50 degrees. Got really cold fast though.
Is this Baldwin lake State fish and wildlife area in Illinois? I've never been there if it is. Do they have a discharge there you can fish, maybe bigger there. What about live bluegill for bait?
Yeah, it is. There is a discharge but I’m not sure if it’s reachable.
Gotta fish a nuclear powered plant next if you can to see if you can get one of those three eyed catfish we hear about.
