I definitely recommend going. The bluegill were everywhere even up and down the rocks. I did see some catfish being caught but they were not as plentiful.
@@stankbaitfishing7914, thanks for the info. I will have to give it a shot. I guess I just have to be early. The few times I've been out there it was crowded along the wall and a good portion of the bank.
I love how well this set up looks. It I have some concerns fishing it myself, the braid is down at the bottom with the rocks and with that weigh attached with a swivel you loose your whole rig if you get snagged. But seems very affective out side of those concerns
I start them indoors in late Janurary from seeds but you could buy them later on at the store. I put them in potting mix/good soil and water when they start to wilt. They are hard to kill if they get some sun and some shade with water. Happy to provde more advice as needed!
I just saw your channel and have a question. My son and I are beginners and tried to fish in a fast flowing dam like this. We have a size BB split shot which was the smallest. Do you recommend the 3oz weight when fishing in fast current like this?
I do 2.5-3oz depending on how fast the current is. Most days 2.5oz works. I like it to stay on the bottom but not go super slow as it moves down stream. There is a sweet spot that prevents hang ups but keeps it on bottom. This damn it works great on. Another one I fish I don’t use as much weight because I work to keep it off the bottom for less time.
I don’t want to over complicate it but it can depend on some factors. I almost could make a whole video about that question. Current can play a big factor in this and so can the weight of your sinkers. Some days at this location I get hung up a ton while others I seem to rarely hang up. It normally boils down to current and sinkers. There is a dam further down from this one that I hang the bottom much more due to rocks andd have to keep the rig off the bottom as it moves. It also produces nice fish but takes more finesse. It took me some time to get this method down to where I don’t lose much gear anymore. I would say just test how it works at your location and go into it expecting to lose some gear. Go to a lower sinker weight if it hits bottom and hangs up immediately.
I have fished in lake guntersville my entire life and i never in my life have seen someone catch a sauger, i didnt know that they are in there, i have fished the dam several times lately and i havent seen anyone catch them, awsome to learn they are in there
Thanks for stopping in! I catch a lot more of them at the dam from late Nov-February. Had one walleye come out of there this winter. It’s getting into the summer pattern now so they are more difficult to find.
