att chad i think the double hooking method you use for hooking a whole shad is the best method during this past summer on the white water river we really ripped the channel with this method thanks for the tips---ray vires
Great video. Do you ever have luck on the body section of the shad? I’ve never had luck on the bodies so I just cut the head and through the rest in the water. What’s your preference?
Thanks for your response Chad. Did it work well for you? Thinking about trying it on my home lake using shad for bait. Have any tips on what you think would be the most productive rigging setup for bridling the bait?
Pre-Packaged shad is like if you went to the store and bought a Lemon. Would you prefer a nice fresh plump juice lemon or one that is freeze dried to make lemonade. It kinda the same thing. The catfish want a nice fresh piece of bait just like you want nice fresh produce from the grocery store.
Hey chad, what kind of jeans that you are wearing with the brown legs. Are they waterproof? I have been looking for solutions to winter time fishing when im running yoyos and trotlines and getting my legs wet. Thanks for any response in advance.
hi my nameis juan and i was wondering i live close to a river and it some times there are alot of current. and whene the water are low is ok of a current, my question to u is what u can recommend to fish on? and i use cut bait for those big cats but i bing fishing for some time i got one fish of 14 lbs that's the only one that i got and some medium size and thas it i hope u can help me and not confused u.lol
I find that cutting the head off the shad makes all the difference in the world. I assume it's the scent? Unless it's a large shad than I just fillet him. I have tried all hooks, and ruled out circle hooks (for me) and use baitholders more than Kale hooks. Whats the benifit of kale over baitholder? I use a river rig tightlining from shore, but Carolina rig from shore when the fish seem spookish. But from boat it's always Carolina rig. Fish mainly Old Hickory Lake and Cumberland River
How do y’all hook live threadfin shad? I’m assuming this method is for dead bait. I feel like any method I try they always end up coming off and I’m fishing with no bait for a period of time without realizing it.
Alright i cannot catch catfish at the river nor the lakes around me ... but i can go a pond and catch them left and right ... is there something i need to change or what i use a big hook with hotdog at the ponds and use the same thing at the lakes and river but have no luck can ya help me out?
I've got a favorite cove on my local lake I used to catch a lot of catfish but recently in the last 2 years seems like hardly catching anything anymore any tips to bring those fish back into my cove?
Im a beginner on catfishing and ive havent had any luck with night crawlers,magic bait or cut bait...going to try chicken liver tonight... I will subscribe.
@Theoutdoorshow74 there's a lot of ways Fish traps,cast nets a lot of other ways I use a cast net you just have to practice throwing the cast net sometimes it can be tricky
Oh yeah thats true, well i live in Maryland, and I have found many fish that feed after dark, I mean except carp, and they have smaller mouths , so they could get they're mouths easily around a kahle or circle hook
can chad be used for other fish i live in nj and fish in the bay over the years i have bought more stuff than i could think of and still i have not caught a fish this is years. These guys see a SUCKER when i walk into there store, this hook that bait chad im goin nuts. and still no fish were talkin years... HELP ME PLEASE...
Another great presentation. We can never learn too much...
Thank you! I'm new to fishing and this was really helpful

Is the pre-packaged shad that they sell at WalMart (in the green or red liquid) any good to use?
+Matt Wells No
why not?

Great explanation! Thanks John Meyer
What about what type of weight? Or is this for just drift fishing?And, also do you use a weight for drift fishing?
Check out the catfish rigs page on the Catfish Edge website.
Very helpful never baited shad.
Thanks 👍
What is the best thing to use on a rainy day? (Catfish, carp, or gar in South Carolina)
Whatever the primary forage fish is
How would it work to hook up live bait like that?
Below dorsal fin at an angle or through the nostrils.
THANKS ILL KEEP THAT IN MIND
When fishing lake's what are the best areas to hit. My lake of choice is Yatesville, Lake in Kentucky

Hey chad, what kind of jeans that you are wearing with the brown legs. Are they waterproof? I have been looking for solutions to winter time fishing when im running yoyos and trotlines and getting my legs wet. Thanks for any response in advance.
I honestly don't know. They're brush cutters for hunting. Have had them for years.
Just came across these. They are wrangler brush cutters. I don't think they still make them
Can you set the hook when using a kahle hook?
+Chanceler Noe yes

Are you asking what bait you should use!
what rig would you recommend for a small lake
Check out our videos on rigs
Wonderful presentation!
Many thanks!
Very informative.
Thanks
I use circle hooks and I hook mine in a similar fashion. I was wondering whatt size hook you are using there......4/0, 5/0?
How much weight should i use with shad about that same size?
Depends on conditions, technique and if you're fishing current or not.
have you ever used shimp? if so have you had any luck with them?
where did u get ur shad?
hey i fish a pay lake that has shad in it n i wanna know what works ta lure shad so that i can catch them ta fish with no throw nets allowed
My cast net is coming Friday so I thought I would do a lil research 😆
Nice!
with kel hooks do you have to set the hook or does it work like a circle hook?

can you please make a video about what string to use catching catfish
typically you shouldn't need anymore than 15 lbs line unless your going for a huge one, I suggest monofilament or braided spider wire.
Trilene Big Game.
I use 17lb fluorocarbon or bigger
does this work better than cut bait
Good vid will try thanks million.
+Jason Smith 👍

You need to come to lewis country Kentucky.
Maybe some day!
whare do catfish usually lerk at
Do you think it's better to fish right on the bottom or a couple feet off the bottom?
very informative, keep it up
Thanks a lot chad!
Thanks!
I've got a favorite cove on my local lake I used to catch a lot of catfish but recently in the last 2 years seems like hardly catching anything anymore any tips to bring those fish back into my cove?
what is the best time to catch shad with a casting net or a sein net
Time doesn't matter
Skill matters
Im a beginner on catfishing and ive havent had any luck with night crawlers,magic bait or cut bait...going to try chicken liver tonight... I will subscribe.
Nightcrawlers never fail me..but i fish the channel..and it helps to know what times the cats might run the channel
is dead bluegill a good bait for catfish as well?
It can be, but i always try to use live bluegills..always have have great luck
What is a proper way to hook a live shad if you are trolling ?
Through the nostrils
I fish for catfish in Big Bear CA. There are thousands of little ones. How do I not get hooked up to the small ones?
They smaller ones are quicker than the big ons..be patient
thanks!
whats the best time of year to catch catfish
is threadfin shad the only species of shad you use for catfish?
how would u hook a whole shad with a circle hook
+Chuck McCoy Check this out. This should help ruclips.net/video/pkkpeCZ7wYQ/видео.html
does catfish bite in march
Patrick Fleeman
Yes
@Theoutdoorshow74 there's a lot of ways Fish traps,cast nets a lot of other ways I use a cast net you just have to practice throwing the cast net sometimes it can be tricky
yes it does, catfish use their lateral line to sense a shad's movement, if a catfish is well fed, it will prefer live to dead
use what type of hook ?
+poh jiun xiang Circle Hook
#4 circle hook eagleclaw
What kind of boat is that?
We all would like you to remake video
I will.
@@Catfishedge I'm curious what alt size kahle hook also
That looks like a gizzard to me! Nice vid though. It works for striper too. : )
wow even pros use the same bait as me i just got a 40 pounder a few days ago onj the same bait around 12:00 pm
@LearnToCatchCatfish Good point.
I don't know if you're using a cork or a bobber but I have never ANY luck with those. I've caught tons of cats by letting the line sink to the bottom.
How do you catch catfish with nightcrawlers, and with treble hooks?
I never fish with nightcrawlers Jamal Crosby
Oh ok well thanks much bud, I see it a lot and was just wondering if there's a technique to it
Not really I wouldn't use treble hooks would use a kahle hook and thread the worm on but the problem with worms is everything feeds on worms.
Oh yeah thats true, well i live in Maryland, and I have found many fish that feed after dark, I mean except carp, and they have smaller mouths , so they could get they're mouths easily around a kahle or circle hook
I was trying nightcrawlers and only caught tiny catfish.
ever have luck with green night crawlers?
+Chef Timmy never used them
yes
Nope..and they are quite messy, and stain your fingers
Great video But the thing that sucks is I don’t have shad in my area
👎
best way to catch perch for jug fishing for catfish
but dont dead have more sent?
Chad you must fish where there is no current. hook a shad like that would spin like a helicopter until it twisted up mess.
keep fishing.
No sir we don't have current in our lakes most often. Even when we're fishing current we still rig this way.
thanks Chad will try in few weeks. water temp 35 degrees in South Dakota just lost ice last week
hey i usually rig my shad in the mouth out through the cheek and then i hook in down by the tail like a bass worm
Exactly how i do it
Where are good habitats for catfish
There's some great tips here www.catfishedge.com/catfishing-tips/
Can u show me how to hook a live minnow on a J hook the right way on another video
Through the back or nostrils.
Is fishing with chicken liver a good bait for cat?
Check my video on the best catfish baits
i dont fish alot but i caught a catfish with a tiny piece of hotdog :)
Why is fresh shad so much better than preserved shad from the stores?
I would imagine because it has more oils and blood than preserved shad.
Why wouldn't you hook it thru the back first then the head since they eat it head first.The hook wouldn,t be seated backwards.
yes it does ,if your fishing for flatheads. they love live bait
can chad be used for other fish i live in nj and fish in the bay over the years i have bought more stuff than i could think of and still i have not caught a fish this is years. These guys see a SUCKER when i walk into there store, this hook that bait chad im goin nuts. and still no fish were talkin years... HELP ME PLEASE...
Which one?
catfish arent usually gonna chase anything to eat it. they like stuff that stays still and is stinky
gr8 b8 m8 i r8 8/8
do you have a stink bait recipe
Check the website at www.catfishedge.com
No weights or nothin just put it on the hook like that?
Check out our catfish rig videos
Maybe the body of water you're fishing in is overrun by gar then...
What about Chantal
What i like to do is filet the shad so that it has no bones, and put my hook in ot so i thinks its a bone....
Ever used hotdog for cats?
When I was 6 😜
As far as baiting a hook goes there is no real "right" way to do. Though, you should always double hook.
need to move the camera up or u move down cuz u can barely see what your doing... great tips though
Was a very old video. Learned a lot since then.
Sorry I will make it again one day.
i cut the tail off nd string my line thrue the mouth and out the tail, then tie a treble hook, them big boys wont get away easy!!
At my place. Catfish has no value . More of catch n release.
Sorry to hear that.
A little work, to skin em and clean them.
But well worth the time and effort.
Cut out the first two minutes and get to the point quicker, otherwise good tip.
jungleislandsurvivor 😂😂. If he doesn’t plug the sponsors or the business the channel is worthless in its return😂
i cut off the head and tail to have more bait
its hard to keep shad alive
