In this video, I set out to catch some white bass or stripers. I certainly was not expecting to catch my first ever walleye. I also got on some skipjack and shared some tips on how to find and catch them for catfish bait.

Gratz on the Walleye, I remember back in the 80's and 90's when we could catch a mess of sauger on Loudon when bass fishing with worms and plugs. Would love to see walleye start showing up here like they are in Tellico. Going out tonight to test new structure scan Lowrance and am going to be dragging some flies! Saw a lot of activity in the river last weekend, so figure I'll try em out there, and hope for some skipjack to freeze for a catfish run soon. Thanks for taking the time to record, as someone who live streams bass tourneys, it can be taxing and a headache to deal with cams and such, but looks like you have it down. Stay safe, keep em coming, and look forward to the next one!

@rogerbraswelljr.923 4 жыл бұрын

In NC we have to use just the filets for bait and keep the carcass intact on game fish so they can be measured if the game warden comes around. They also look for hook marks in the mouth.

Hey man love that fishing and I'm a bargain hunter on fishing stuff. Try going to hobby lobby a buying some white chenille, white thread, super glue and some chicken feather tie your own. Instead of those crappie gold bended hooks. Buy the white plain jig hooks they have a stronger hook. I know your cheap. Here another on go to place like farmer fleet, dollar stores, even Walmart look for boxes or bins they might have them in there to. Here's another one I will help you if you try and can find any or tie you some free. I would love to help. Comment on your show if you do💯
