I use chicken and have cought fish. I think chicken works best when the water is warm for some reason. Ive also used cut bait and it does well also. so one pole has chicken and the other is cut bait most of the time. works for me.
It works well in certain bodies of water and not very well in others. Fresh cut bait from the body of water you're fishing is always the best bet along with live baits from that same body of water.
When I use chicken I precut it and put it in vacuum seal bags then coat it with strawberry jello powder and vacuum seal it. I place it in the fridge for 2-3 days to let it cure. This seems to toughen the chicken up quite a bit and it stays on the hook very well. I believe the jello powder helps the curing process.
🤦♂️ strawberry jello yada yada yada…. Does anyone try cherry or lime ? There’s lotsa jello colors n flavors when did strawberry become the go to flavor? Does shad taste different than skipjack? Chicken ? 🤷♂️✌️😂🤣
@@rawbsworld6604 Had you paid attention you may have deduced the flavor/color isn't the objective. It was the ability to cure the chicken and make it tougher and stay on the hook longer. Whatever your opinion may be, it still works and we have caught a lot of 20 and 30 plus pound blues using it. Especially when they don't seem to be wanting to bite. If you don't want to try it, then by all means , please don't. I use skipjack, shad, white bass, blue gill or chicken. They all work at times.
@@931tow lmfao 😂 relax mate don’t be so quick to get but hurt 👌, if you be paying attention you’d know friendly banter when you read it! 🤦♂️ mostly a humorous response to the 15 other life coaches comments saying he gotta go with strawberry jello on chicken 😝😳 if it was that good I surely would think he’d be doing it in every vid ,
@@rawbsworld6604 nah, I doubt he would since it was something that Dieter Melhorn endorsed quite a bit. For some reason he seems to have a thing with Dieter, don't know why. Dieter does say that the chicken by itself works just as well but as I said the jello does cure it.
We don't have skipjack here on the Catawba river system. My wife and I catch a few bream and use those. I use chicken breast some and have caught several 20+ pounders on it. Flatheads won't eat it.
Rumor has it that chicken works well in waters that have high mussel concentrations, but not as well in waters that have few mussels. Don't know if that is true, as it is anecdotal information, but it could be true. Probably only for the blue cats because they love mussels during certain times of the year.
Try the thigh meat from the chicken it is tougher and stays on hook better ! Also cheaper especially when getting close to out of date around a dollar a pound and takes jello and kool aid very well .just bring hand sanitizer on the boat and use after every rebait !
I haven't tried it personally but I've heard some of the old timers talk about putting the chicken in a panty hose pouch to keep it from coming off so easily.
Cut out of squares of pantyhose, put chicken inside, then tie off with Magic Thread. (it's used for salmon eggs) Smaller hook Dave, 8/0 circle is fine.
I always get chicken breasts and soak them in Cherry Kool Aid. Make it blood red and messy as hell. But, I've slammed 70 plus in the last 4-6 weeks. and over 50 were keepers. 5 - 14lbs
I had 1 try to break my rod yesterday and ofcourse the Team Catfish circle hook didnt set. Ive yet to get a catfish on their hooks. Very Not Impressed.
@@rawbsworld6604 your good man,no offense was taken unless the Demon hooks dont work. Then ima be pssed and break out my big boy rods and J hooks. Ima just start back swinging on the kitties.
Ya, what about the Flatheads are you high and dry out there? Or are they to hard to get right now. I know that you have some old stomping waters that you can fish or is it that you don’t want to give up those waters I can understand that. What about your reeling fish in music bring it back your very good at that to, come on Catfish Dave nobody does it like you and that’s the truth. Thank you for your time on the water
Personally I’m here for the CFD experience not the music 🤷♂️ but then again one might think royalty free music is a CFD experience , it’s not! Just a CFD experience enhancement 🤪
HELLO CATFISH DAVE! GREAT video man! Love it, been trying to get caught up on your channel. Thanks for sharing
Great video Dave.Always a pleasure
That current was flying.
You are the catfish champion! Hope to meet you one day! Your friend from Maryville Tennessee. CATFISH JACKIE
Along with chicken... there should be banjo/fiddle background music 🎶 🎵 👍
the bungie cord rod alert system is pretty ingenious

That’s the only effective up here in Columbia River tribs, First step for channel cat is to catch and cut up a smallmouth.

When are we going fishing man👍?
Just like me,the wind only blows when I am fishing. 😅
Awesome Dave!
Yes he is! But unfortunately this is Demetrius pretending to be CFD 😢
THANKS!
The dinks sure like that stuff
Those sizes are perfect eating size

Do you have a link to where I can buy those floats and drag rigs. thanks.
Long as it catches em that's good enough for me

[12:40] if a man wants a cheeseburger, and there's no cheese ounit', he ain't eatin' it.
I’m going to try some of my saltwater tricks like salted and Diet Pepsi shrimp, salted squid etc, fish bites/gum

Only works with thighs! 🤦♂️ 🤣✌️
@@rawbsworld6604 🤣🤣
Frying pan sized fish for sure 👍
You can be a man, or a carp fisher man. When the spawn goes on.
First of all I really enjoy your videos , I watch them all but you of all people should know that chicken is whisker licking good.
Let's Buy Catfish Dave a good looking wide brim hat !! Cause that one he wears now looks like a witches hat!!!!!
Might add another pair of bigger bibs.
🤦♂️

Are blue catfish good to eat?

Hello Dave
Well, since Dave didn't do it I'm gonna eat a piece of cheese.
😅😅😅
No fish finder!?
It would have been funny that every time you caught one on chicken to put in a chicken clucking sound bite😂
Just like the meow when he cusses
I’m surprised u don’t ever get hold of any troutlines

They hooked you! 🤷♂️😳 jus’ saying 😝 ✌️
@@rawbsworld6604 I only bought 1 pack. I took Daves advice and got some Mustad Demons on the way.

@@countryfriedfishing 👍🤪 good luck 🎣
Try again with chicken but this time used just chicken . One type is just chicken one type the jello (strawberry) chicken and one type garlic chicken
A three course meal? 😳😝✌️
It will fish
I like livers and gizzards myself. Cheaper than wasting time catching anything. Well for me anyways ☢️
Ya here for the CFD experience or music? 😳 even though it’s not CFD ? Demetrius never does music 😂😝

I have better luck with pork and it stays on hook way better
Planer boards…can help catch fish, but SUCKY to watch reel in a fish
Put that cut up chicken in strawberry Kool-Aid powder and garlic overnight, guaranteed monster 🏋♀catch
🤦♂️
@@rawbsworld6604 don't knock it till you try it
Oh and put the sound of “Flipper” 🐟 when you catch one on cut bait
