I much prefer these self reliance series (i.e. waters edge, yurt, long hunter, etc). I feel that people need more self reliance education than they need "lost in the wood" education. I think these videos are helping people more than you know. Thank you and keep up the good work!
Dave, another great video as always. There are a couple of paddling techniques that you should look up when you get a chance called a J stroke and a C stroke, which limits the need to constantly switch paddling side in a canoe. They allow you to turn and control the canoe while keeping the paddle on the same side of the canoe instead of the "kayak method" you do. The J stroke and the C stroke also conserve those precious calories by reducing the amount of energy expending while paddling.
Really enjoy the videos, used a few ideas from your Waters Edge video on my last camping trip. Made a trout line in a stream by my camp site ( my state 3 hooks max) with in a hour two on the line, three hours i got 3. Kids loved it, wife loved it, defiantly i loved it whole family was involved. Keep up the great videos!!
awesome series....inspiration to find a solo canoe. Cant help but think of fortitude people who traveled rivers, both down and UP stream on rivers to make a living or to enjoy nature, in all seasons, arduous for sure!
I need to get out fishing with my dad. I know how busy you are but envy how much of it gets you out of "modern" life. Feel like just another lemming sometimes hoping for 1 more campsite before we reach the cliff.
great vid the noodles i get are 1 buck at walmart and i get 4 jugs out of each one using coat hanger and snuff can lids but i like my line about 3 foot so it floats around better and down here the blues seem to bite better at that depth keep up the great work and may God continue to bless you and your family
awesome! my step dad and I used to run jug lines and bank lines all the time. More than once I was surprised by a giant turtle when I pulled em up. I was just a kid and it scared the hell outta me so I'd cut em loose. Now... that would be dinner! Great series Dave, keep on fishin'!
For this kindah application, I like putting the weight on the bottom and the hook about 9 above the bottom. Limb lines are highly effective. With alot of line and hooks, you can feed alot of people with catfish. Very nice video.
hey dave we use Mt Dew bottles with orannge paint on the bottom of the bottle so we can see if it stands up we got a fish. love the vids keep them coming! and by the way i have started trapping also for some predator control too many coyotes here on my farm! love to see more trapping and info! thanks for taking the time to do these vids your really apprecated!!! vander and teresa white
I read about a trap where you take a 2 liter plastic bottle, cut the top off about 1/4 inch or so below where it rounds off, flip the top around and put it inside the other piece and you can use some tape or poke a hole for cordage to tie it off and keep it in place. Supposed to be a good minnow trap. Hope I explained that OK. I really enjoyed this video, I got to look into these or see if I cant make one, thanks for the upload!
good catfish bait we use is plain ivory soap....i didnt think it would work until i tried it ...also if setting jug lines at night they dont have to be very deep...catfish come up to feed....thanks for video and for what you do
hey dave, whenever the line is wrapped around the float like you had it, dont pull it all off when you set it, when the bait sinks the float will spin and release line similar to a spool, and then the extra line stays on the float, and gets taken off when a fish(or turtle, lol!) runs with the bait, -Fb, P.S. love the vids keep up the good work!!!
Man I've caught huge cats on single raisins, small marshmallows, and peices of cut bait the size of your thumbnail. Of course that's with a fifty hook trotline, but you can bait plenty of hooks with a small bream. I Love juggin' and bush hookin', too! Great rig with the knot above the hook. It'd would work great with live bait, too!
Thanks for the tips on the floatation thing and on the bankline. I saw a Sigma3 video where they used a yoyo trap for a bankline. I don't know the legalities here in Ohio on that, I'd have to check, but that method looked interesting.
Hi Dave, just getting to watching this video after a weekend in the woods and I noticed in your new intro, the portion where you are shooting the pocket hunter slingshot deal, if you watch it and dont know about that tool it may appear that you are just drawing up and dry firing an invisible bow... :)
A friend of mine make some nice "juggs" useing pvc pipe and some weight inside. It is set up where if anything takes the hook or just the bait the pipe will tilt to one side and the weight will shift and cause the floater to sit in the water vertically. That way he can just look accross the lake and see which limb lines need to be checked.
great video dave, i want to ask your opinion on one man fishing pontoon boats. I use one very often where i live and have found that the are much more stable and easier to maneuver in some places. they handle well in rivers as well as rough water on lakes.
dave if you put your weight on the bottom and your hook above it when the fish hits the bait it will self hook the fish and will keep the hook off the bottom and keep it from getting hung up good video
Just for general knowledge walmart usually has those pool noodles for about 1.88 a piece. which could make you 3-4 of them floats. and Ii saw coat hangers for the rings and thought it was a great idea. You could probably use the end of a 1 liter soda bottle for the plastic mount.
When my neighbor's daughter was about Layla's age I was just getting home from work one day when I heard her screaming hysterically. I and her dad both ran over to their pond where she was - fully expecting to find her snakebit or with a broken leg or in some other terrible peril. Nope - hooked a 4 1/2 lb bass on her Bardie rod. I have no idea how she got it in to the bank. He had it mounted for her. :-)
Awesome video Dave, you should set some of those up with your nylons like you did in your cat fishin video unless Dfg says you can't or something since your leaving the sets over night I live in California theirs all kinds of crazy fishing rules here go figure, but the good life is coming leaving the state finally after the summer Colorado bound can't wait!!! Great video brother god bless!!!
Dave, you really need more weight on the end that goes all the way to the bottom. A friend of mine showed me a great way to make your own using an old muffen pan as a mold for melted lead, fill the cup and when still liquid put an old scrap of wire in a u shape in that you can hitch a line to, works great and costs pennys for old scrap lead.
I've caught many a catfish using empty 2 liter bottles and bank line in my neighbors pond. Throw about 10 out overnight and use a canoe to collect em the next morning. Just make sure you know what you have on the line before heaving it into the canoe. I once thought I had the biggest catfish in the pond and when I gave the line that final tug... I flipped a HUGE pissed off snapping turtle into the canoe.
I don't have a boat so i use bank line too and wire leaders do the same set up as you basically but i tie about 50-100 feet depending on how big the lake is to the top and throw it out far as i can. tie the top line to a branch or pole on the shore. that way i can reel it in. down in kansas i caught a 5 ft Gnar using that method.
for someone who has done that for year in a conoe the longer your string and the size of the weight decides how fast you want it to drift and I have done really well catching fish during the day on them and homemade/store bought it doesnt matter they all work well and in 10 feet of water you only need like 5 feet of string. and remember the wind is your friend on a jug
here in IL we are allowed 50 hooks on the lake, so me and my brother made up 50 "jugs" each out of pool noddles , cut them to 10 inches and wrap a coat hanger through it, cost about 10 cents per " jug" and brings in tons of cat fish
Hey Dave, I have watched your videos on black walnut dying and I was curious if you know if black wlanut dye would be strong enough to dye deer skulls/antlers, I am wanting to make a deer mount and was planning on bleaching the skull and then trying to dye the antlers with some kind of dye... then seal it some how. Any info you might have to help me out would be much appreciated brother. Love the videos keep em coming
Its worth putting 3 single baitholder hooks, just poke em throu oposite sides ull have way better %. In my experience most float lines get hits over the day but the bait is ripped off. Im dealing with pikes mostly.
Thanks you I love these types of videos keep up the good video making and I'm joining my high school fishing team any advise for tournament bass fishing Thanks, WA76
I wondered when you would get on board and do some videos on this. I had often thought about doing them on this particular subject matter. Im just a bit too camera shy. I have another idea or two for you if u start running out.
What's your opinion on inflatable canoes? I've been considering a Sevylor Colorado although it is a bit above common man pricing. Can you recommend any ruggid inflatables? Are the more pricey say $300-400 range inflatables much more heavy duty than the $100 one's? Worth the extra money? Appreciate any advise you can provide on this. Thanks J
This sort of seup is illegal over here, but before it was made illegal old timers would use a piece of log to do it with the line either wrapped around it of tied to a nail driven in said log.
lol, I reread my comment, looked silly for this setup. The 5 hour energy bottles, I'll put out on a line thats tied to a tree, for a free floater... Bleach Bottle. Cleaned out of course.
You Should Do a Video On the YoYo Fishing Systems. They Are Amazing! I Just Bought another 2 12packs! Great Way To Procure Food In a Survival Situation. I mean If I only Set Half Of them Then Thats Still Like 12 "People" Fishing for Me While I do What Ever Else Needs To be done, Weather its Work or Sleep? These Are Awsome! A Absolute MUST for any Bug out bag, Or Any outdoors kit/bag. Plus they can be used As Snares Also. Check Em out guys! The Yo-Yo Fishing System. Five Stars!
Dollar Tree pool noodle for 1 dollar and a metal coat hanger (free if you know someone that has dry cleaning) or Dollar Tree store. You can make 3 of these for the price of 2 dollars wih that.
Widershins: You don,t really have to put your name and address on those floats becouse with out a life jacket sooner or latter your still going to be there.
Look at how nice those fish look. I haven't gone fishing in so long. I miss it. :(
I really appreciate all that you do to educate everyone on outdoor knowledge and self reliance.
I much prefer these self reliance series (i.e. waters edge, yurt, long hunter, etc). I feel that people need more self reliance education than they need "lost in the wood" education. I think these videos are helping people more than you know. Thank you and keep up the good work!

Lovin this series Dave. Taking my kids in the canoes and jon boats all Summer.
Another great video. I've learned so much about self reliance. Can't wait to read your book. Take care and god bless my friend.

This is my favorite video so far and I've watched most of them, nice job Papi!
Another great video. Always great learning new self reliance techniques. Thanks for sharing and god bless my friend
Two liter bottles work great too. You can put glow sticks in them for nighttime!! Common man till death baby!! Thanks brother Dave!!

Looks like a cinch knot, polymer is a great knot too especially for braid or cords

Us Oki's use penz oil bottles. Bright yellow and easy to see. Just make sure you wash them out first.

here in IL we are allowed 50 hooks on the lake, so me and my brother made up 50 "jugs" each out of pool noddles , cut them to 10 inches and wrap a coat hanger through it, cost about 10 cents per " jug" and brings in tons of cat fish
hey dave if you put some carpet in the bottom of your canoe it will help quiet the noise. enjoy all your videos. keep up the good brother.
cool never herd of these jug lines before
Great video Dave!
Sorry,.. I'm sure you get asked this often.. what brand is your hat?
very nice
Hey Dave, I have watched your videos on black walnut dying and I was curious if you know if black wlanut dye would be strong enough to dye deer skulls/antlers, I am wanting to make a deer mount and was planning on bleaching the skull and then trying to dye the antlers with some kind of dye... then seal it some how.

Need to take that little grand daughter the "Bug" fishing soon! Layla would be SO tickled to catch a "big" fish.
r liter soda bottles make great fish line floats...great video...
hey dave , great vid brother.
empty gallon water or milk jugs are common. In some states you have to have your name and phone number on them to be legal.
Its worth putting 3 single baitholder hooks, just poke em throu oposite sides ull have way better %. In my experience most float lines get hits over the day but the bait is ripped off. Im dealing with pikes mostly.
Thanks you I love these types of videos keep up the good video making and I'm joining my high school fishing team any advise for tournament bass fishing
Thanks, WA76
Gonna try it.
You can also use milk juges
I wondered when you would get on board and do some videos on this. I had often thought about doing them on this particular subject matter. Im just a bit too camera shy. I have another idea or two for you if u start running out.
Do you need a hunting license to harvest turtles? or does that fall under fishing? thanks Dave, great series.
What's your opinion on inflatable canoes? I've been considering a Sevylor Colorado although it is a bit above common man pricing. Can you recommend any ruggid inflatables? Are the more pricey say $300-400 range inflatables much more heavy duty than the $100 one's? Worth the extra money? Appreciate any advise you can provide on this. Thanks J
That's a great idea!
I like that hat. Who makes it? Where can I find one?
Could you do a video on making a paddle bank side maybe
Dam it boy!! there are lake's with water in them still all l the lake around my area are flat dry.
hey Dave, are you growing your Christmas beard again for the kids ?
Have you ever done any fishing in Canada?
hey dave , are you supposed to right you name on the jug, to make it legal. good vid brother
I found that those 5 hour energy bottles works great as floats.
depending onn where you live you might have at attach a tag with your name and info
This sort of seup is illegal over here, but before it was made illegal old timers would use a piece of log to do it with the line either wrapped around it of tied to a nail driven in said log.
Hey Dave, how about Swamp series?
Hey there, you could try updating your browser and version of flash player, it might help.
I think the knot your using is the
" improved clinch knot"
Did you catch anything on the lines?
smooth sailing here! Later...
respect for letting the small bass go! but such fishing is illegal in my country.
Thnxs
👍🇺🇸
Did you cath anyting on them ?
Hay Dave, your missing the tire inner tube. You float down the river on an inner tube and watch your jug's. That's how ya jug fish. lol
Thanks!!
lol, I reread my comment, looked silly for this setup. The 5 hour energy bottles, I'll put out on a line thats tied to a tree, for a free floater... Bleach Bottle. Cleaned out of course.
hi, what kind of multitool do you use bro ???

here in ohio, there are 3 species, Channel cat, Blue cat, and Flathead cat.
Dollar Tree pool noodle for 1 dollar and a metal coat hanger (free if you know someone that has dry cleaning) or Dollar Tree store. You can make 3 of these for the price of 2 dollars wih that.
I like fishing yo yos but they arent legal in my state on public waters
how about a 2 liter pop bottle
someone tell me the name of this song
Thank you brother! =D
Intro song?
careful, jug fishing is illegal in some states
empty 2 liter works great for that.
You can float a yo-yo system an try for more than just catfish or turtles. They will catch anything for you.
Tip for any of you guys who live in the UK, go to Home Bargains, you can get 180 fishhooks for 99p and 100m of 8lb line for 99p/
20 oz soda bottles work just as well.
kinda shocked that u changed the intro
took my "bug" canoeing .she caught a 2lbs largemouth and was tickled to death.
thanks dave,
