Urban Arizona Catfishing! (Underwater Catfish Footage)

Urban Arizona catfishing! These ponds were just stocked with channel catfish, so it was time I headed out to try my luck!
Urban fishing is something I have always loved, so why not throw the underwater camera down there to see what was around.
The underwater catfish footage turned out great! This pond was very clear, as most of arizonas fishing ponds are.
We saw some awesome channel catfish, panfish, and even trout down there! Chicken liver attracts all kinds of species!
My go catfish bait has always been garlic flavored chicken liver, and as you can see it did produce us a few channel catfish.
However, the clear pond water was making the fish a bit weary, and they soon stopped biting the bait after catching some of them.
The Arizona department of fish does a great job at stocking the community ponds with fish, so if you can, get out there and catch some!
I hope you all enjoyed me catfishing Arizona! And I hope you enjoyed the underwater catfish footage! By the way the name of the underwater camera I was using is called the Gofishcam!

@AJJohnson_86 Жыл бұрын

my guess would be the electrical output of the camera is deterring the catfish due to the sensitivity of their whiskers. this would at least partially explain why your other rod with the same bait got bit while the camera one only got basic attention.

@marcusbullock630 2 жыл бұрын

I personally dont like chicken livers for channel cats, that's better for blues. You will def catch em, but I always catch little kittens under 5 lbs for channel cats, i just use trout power dough and i jam a bunch of mealworms on it, and i get better cats than the dudes next to me using stuff like stinkbait. It's because channels arent really scavengers like blues, they become almost exclusively predatory when they reach larger sizes. The problem is they remember baits that hooked them, so if you throw one back after catching it on one particular scent, it will likely avoid it for years, just like carp do. very very smart fish It'd be sweet if you tried that out in one of your future videos. You can also buy commercial catfish pellets and just use those, since they were raised on them.

@TheFishinMagician20 2 жыл бұрын

I love em for channels and blues. I have had luck with both of en. Most the stocked fish here are under 5lbs. I have to disagree with you on the channels not being scavengers. I think the ones here almainly scavenger fish because they are in a hatchery. The ones that survive long enough in ponds may develop some predatory tendencies but only some. Also I do t think they really remember baits. I have caught the fish fish a few times here in the ponds, so if they hungry enough they’ll eat it

I’ve been getting back to catfishing after years. I’ve been using muddyriver’s liver marinaded chicken. It’s confusing how they bite. Some days it’s massive takedowns with a lot of drops and a few hookups, a lot of light bites, swimming towards us, that turned out to be multiple pound cats. Some days it’s all light bites. I don’t get it 🤪

@devins1195 11 ай бұрын

Fishing closed bail btw with a plastic slider. I wonder if their tail slaps the line after the take and jerk the bait right out or spook themselves. I may try a longer leader to give them a little more slack before they feel anything

This video makes me wonder if the catfish are sensitive to the electromagnetic energy from the camera. I know that sounds crazy but they have chemoreceptors all over their bodies. I'd also like to see if you have better success with a bait that is floated off the bottom slightly. They all have to go down and scoop it rather than gulp and run. Have you ever tried dog treats as bait?
