I love how he will get a pole bending hit and just point at it. I would be scrambling running to my pole, knocking children out of the way to get the fish.

Hey Dave would you get more bites on the Bluegill if you cut them in half and fished them like you do with the Skipjack?

@davidwolf2478 Жыл бұрын

Exactly hooking a bluegill the way cat fish Dave does doesn't help. Cutting up a bluegill puts scent in the water attracting the catfish to bite. Looks like he needs to use bigger bluegills on top of it.

Should always hook live bait through the nose holes. Reason why when a predatory fish grabs a bait they eat then head first. So it's always best to have the hook closest to the head area.

I used to know a commercial fisherman back in the 70’s who would gather up willow flies by the pound under a street light, grind them up and basically make bricks of willow flies. She would then cut them up with 20lb line in pieces as big as a sugar cube and put them on her trot lines and wear the catfish out
