Having fished multiple s in different sizes and colors, ru-vid.comUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 this is by far my favorite. One thing to be aware of is the sided willow blade. One side is silver and the other is the green/orange shown. This is not bad, just unconventional. In terms of fishing, I have found the lure works just fine without a tail like a craw or shad. That addition is up to you. Also, the hook part where you attach the swivel snap or tie the line is a problem on baits these days, since it's able to slide up and down. However this lure seems to be tight enough that that doesn't happen often, and you can solve it by putting a thin slice of medical tube over the hook before attaching the line. Like others have said, it's really magic on a good windy day.
Havent seen tv shrimp in years. Everyone in my area stopped selling it over a decade ago. I always found it funny how the box says good eating too. Then you'd open the box and the shrimp looked like it had been sitting in the sun for a week.
Man, I could enjoy fishing with you. I like it calm and laid back. You don't stress (well, except little when the snake started stealing your knife. LOL) At least I know you won't let a snake crawl up my leg and not say something! 🤣😂🤣😂
I have dealt with a lot of snakes (while fishing), but never had or ever even heard of a snake trying to run off with a bait knife. Stupid crazy. I wouldn’t have believed it if it wasn’t record. That’s a million dollar memory, right there. Yes sir! Great catfish bank fishing video. That’s the way I roll, also.
The most organized and clean fisherman I've ever seen. I'm the opposite! I look like I've been playing in a pig pen for an hour when I get back from fishing! The only good snake is a dead snake. That snake needed a knife I guess? Good video.
Thank you Eric, kindly appreciate it buddy! I like to catfish in style but I don’t mind gettin dirty! 😎🎣 Sometimes that’s just what the job requires! Craziest snake encounter I’ve ever had but I’m just lucky it was my bait knife and not me! 🙅🏽♂️😆 Appreciate ya watching E! 👍
Hey, I've been using circle hooks for a couple years now and have figured something out. if I reel down on the fish too soon and too quickly i can pull it out of their mouth without hooking them. i started letting them take longer and even giving them slack until they start to move away, then reel down easy and almost always hook them well enough to land them. Had the same problems you are having in this video, when i first started using circle hooks. Also, lost a few by "setting" the hook too hard. if you haven't already tried those things, give it a go! Enjoyed your video, keep up the good work!
This man displays traits of a master fisherman!! Fishing like Hunting is a Meditation of Patience for the time where nothing happens!! It is also a challenge of Frustration. with what gets away!! Masters have infinite patience and can handle the frustration. This man has it in spades and he will get the fish. Those small/young channel cats would be what I would be after. They would be excellent eating!! Caught a small channel cat in a spring fed creek back in the early 70s!! Best eating ever!!
When my dad and i were cat fishing back in the early 1990’s thats all we used was T.V. Bait shrimp. They loved it in Oklahoma, channels and blues. That stuff does get stinky, smells just like the woman’s restroom 😂🤣
That's one of the craziest things I've ever seen: A snake tryna make off with a bait knife. Good thing is you're safe and none of your gear was lost. Always enjoy the videos you post, this one was no exception. Keep slingin' dem baits.
I have never seen fishing strimps in a box like that , we don't have that in the south, at least I haven't seen any but that will be one of my go to try & find some, like those,
My mother and father in law just came over. I threw on your videos and that old man's been telling me old fishing stories through the whole videos. Yes surrrrr. Good stuff. Been missing ya cuz time but good to see your still knockin it out.
That snake running off with the knife was the funniest thing i seen in my life 🤣🤣🤣it was like i wish u would come try to take it ill bite u when he threw that rock he got ghost 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I used to bank fish for river cats. Always used frozen tiger shrimp. I would get the 30-40 count frozen shrimp from the grocery store and the channels and flatheads loved them. Back then the shrimp only cost around $4 for a small tub, but there was a lot of fishing in that tub of shrimp. Worked like a charm here in eastern central Ohio.
When you catch a catfish, and you're going to keep it, before you skin it cut the belly out of the catfish, Flathead you keep the belly because the belly's edible. But if you put a catfish belly skin down on a hook which is going to give you a problem you'll find out that all kinds of fish love catfish belly
I miss so many fish with them mustad circle hooks I had to switch over the the eagle claw circle hooks and use size 3-4 for lake catfishing. I upsize to 6-8 when I hit the rivers and spillways
Love your videos, when bank fishing I always carry a trash bag with me to clean up area between bites, always good to leave area cleaner than when I got there👍🏻
I am the King 🤴 of shrimp 🍤 fishing for the Big Cats I be killing them I Ohio every May&June fill my freezer up for the year till next fishing season , keep doing what u do my brother!!
I just ran across your video, it was very wise, great tips, & yes we have to be careful when we are fishing, I had a snake to catch my bream & I had him up out the water & he was still holding onto my bream, which I shook him off with the bream in his hungry mouth, 😊, but to see a Snake grab a knife yes thas crazy, but adventure is lovely to me, you get to see so much crazy things from small minimals & animals, enjoy your video & you got my sub, thanks for sharing, 👍
Set your hook big dawg!!! You got em on the line. when the pole start bending, reel in real slow to tighten your line and when you feel him tug the line set the hell out the hook💪🏾🎣
Everything you said was right Cameron Manley. But I believe he said he was using circle hooks. So the best thing to do is let them take it for a few seconds then reel as fast as you can.
Everytime i see that TV Shrimp it takes me back to my childhood lol 🤣....nice setups you got man,its been a whole minute since i watched your vids,cant beat that calm water.keep cranking them out and keep them lines tight 👊
Yesssurrr! Shrimp is actually a good bait option for channel cats, at least for my first time using it as bait. You’re right tho it might only be good eater sized catfish! Appreciate ya watching T! 👍😎🎣
@@SlingNBaits With those shrimp, if you have any decent sized creeks around, try them off in there. Especially now in the fall you should be able to leave with a whole stringer full and occasionally you'll mess around and get a 10lb. But for sure you'll get those eaters, you can hear the grease popping as you bring them in 🤣
Every time I go out I gotta throw a rod out first thing then set up other rods. U all organized then throw em out together. I got this weird feeling if I don't throw it out right away I'll miss that monster swimming around. 😄😆 Love you set up brother, if you ever in San Antonio Texas hit me up let's go fishing. 😎🤘
I always use no.2 hook bait holders Lazer sharpened very sharp!!! It will hold 12lb 15lb catfish well stuck!!! Good fortune to ya!!! Bigguns I Tell ya!!!
Since I found your channel, your all I watch. I'm a bank fisherman here in Ohio. Your camera work is beyond good and I love the videos with your family with you
We used the cooked shrimp with green dot Potski salmon egg for kokanee in Northwest Washington. Pink salmon or Humpies like sand shrimp. And sturgeon like sand shrimp as well.Drifted down stream bouncing off the bottom. Lot's of fish love shrimp.
I did this one evening just to switch things up at a local lake and absolutely killed it! I was shocked. Only used shrimp with surf fishing, not in a land locked state!
Yessurr my brother!!! Just subscribed to your channel. Really appreciate you!!! I love your communication. The way you describe your setup is awesome!!! The snake just wanted to watch your knife handling technique. Love the dings, arrows, and text throughout the expedition. Keep up the awesome content. Looking forwardto more from you. Yessurr!!! Sweet!!! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Excellent videos. Not only very informative but entertaining as well. Thank you for showing the patience and also frustrations for us who fish! So many times we get those hits and the fish get us instead!! A lot of videos just show the fish on. We see the real experience here!
🤭 Wow that’s terrifying! I’ve never had any scary snake encounters before this one but definitely going to be checking for the snakes for now on! Appreciate ya watching buddy! 👍🎣
Thanks for the tip bro 👍 and appreciate ya watching!! I usually do good on the reel downs but lately them cats been getting away! Ima definitely try to start settin’ some hooks! Good vibes and fishing! 🎣😎
Good stuff but ya need to loosen that drag and let 'em run a little then just tighten up the drag and the hook will set or use bait clicker/ bait feeder reels to have the 2 different drag settings. That's why the santee cooper rig is so good with the sliding sinker to allow them to run the bait with little to no resistance. Good stuff though. It's February 27, 2022 and I'm goin' out for the first time this year next saturday. I got everything cleaned, greased, oiled, fresh spools, lots of leaders made and takin' the shrimp as well. Anxious as heck!👍👍
My dad taught us to use shrimp (cooked shrimp because it stinks better when left out in the sun) shell on. Killing the catfish all afternoon and through the night.
Thanks dawg! 💪 appreciate ya support!! Hoping for a big catfish this fall season! 🤞 You been rockin with me since day one ☝️ got somethin good for you soon dawg!! God Bless!
Fish just north of you by 80 miles....use both TV shrimp and cut shad.....seems like each day has it's own best bait...one day shrimp, the other shad....got to try a variety! Good video.
Got u a new sub!!! I luv how u break everything down. Gonna try some of your techniques and see if I can bag more fish. Also, I've been using that same type of shrimp da dimp for years and it's proven pretty good homie!!
Give them more long before you set the hook also a tip would be leave the head on your shrimp gives it more smell to the fish might have better luck it always helped me better right next time
