Creek Hopping for Catfish and Whatever (GIVEAWAY!!) 

When I'm fishing for catfish and waiting on a bite, I usually focus on the beautiful creation of God around me.

I just kick back in my outdoor chair. I wait and enjoy the view,the sounds of nature and the time I have to kill.

Love the creek fishing. I always fished with a rod for bluegill and a rod for the bigger things like catfish.

I like to try and catch bait or have a line out for smaller fish. But I like to be quiet and peaceful mostly. God bless and tight lines!

While I'm catfishing. I usually try to catch some panfish to use for bait or just to see if I can find some bass with my swim bait or a whopper plopper. I love watching your fishing channel. I'd like to go with you 1 day. I live in NW Georgia

i always stare at my dam phone while i am waiting for timmy to bite and drink lots of beer

I had cacht carp with corn but I bake it with butter and it seems to work best for me

Great video hope next time you have better luck with the cats and carps, when waiting for the big ones to bit love to pan fish and sometimes take a nap je je

What kind of sunglasses do you wear that enable you to see fish under was so well?

use the bluegill with a float . they will catch cats and bass. not me but i got a friend who has caught some huge fish with bluegills

I always fish on the side like u were.

I usually do some bait fishing when I am cat fishing or I am widdleing

MeatEater podcasts. I recently strated fishing for carp, nobody here fishes for them. Been waiting for winter so the fishing gear will be on sale. I badly need a new reel, the kids and wife took over half of my gear. I only have 1 rod when I am allowed 2 or even 3...

Anybody notice a lot more creek fishing channels popping up? Everybody seems to see how CFA is the benchmark for small creek fishing.

I’m usually catfishing with my daughter who is the best fishing buddy ever, so we chat it up while fishing for panfish. Tight lines 👊🏽

When I cat fish, use stink bait. So I spend my time thinking about anything sweet smelling. BBQ usually. 😊

I just sit there and enjoy being out in nature especially seeing as how I'm beating cancer for now

When I’m catfishing I spend 70% of my time fixing my son’s messed up reels, when I get one fixed another one messes theirs up lol

When I'm catfishing and waiting for bites me and my lil one spends that time talking and just relaxing and just enjoying being outside listening to the sounds of nature

When I’m catfishing, I usually spend my time watching this channel or fishing for other species of fish. And fixing my son’s backlash. Over. And over. And over again.

While I'm cat fishing I'm intensely watching my bait until I get distracted and look at something else.... Then I spend the remainder of my time trying to find my bait again...

When catfishing I crack a beer, light a spiff and get lifted to pass the tine.

When I'm catfishing, I pull the bill of my hat down low over my head, close my eyes, and take a long, well-deserved nap. Thanks for the opportunity, my friend.

Hey John. I'm 56 years old now as I've probably told you before now. When I think of Catfishing, I think of my father. John, My father was a really bad alcoholic when I was a young boy growing up. I remember riding down the road with him while he would drink beer and toss the can's out the truck window into the wild. Yeah, if you can imagine that, that is exactly what he would do. He would be an obnoxious drunk, even though he would take me fishing. Some of my earliest memories of fishing were catfishing with my father and some of my uncles where they would sit around all hours of the night, drink beer and just get drunk. One time, I even drove us home when I was 13 and had no drivers license because he was so nasty drunk. Somewhere along the way, mother and father split up and they were headed for divorce. To this day, I do know how it happened John but my father found the Lord, or should I say, the Lord FOUND my father. I don't know how or when, or even where but I do remember going to a revival one I was young and I think that is when the Lord took my father by the collar and told him to get his life straight. Dad had a "come to Jesus" meeting at the altar in front of that congregation that summer night at Mount Eagle Baptist Church in Simeon, VA. I'll never forget it. From there, dad got "right" with the Lord. He started attending Sunday School with my mother and after a few months, we started to attend church regularly. It became an every Sunday thing in our family and we would go practically all day long it seemed. Eventually, Daddy became a Sunday School Teacher, then an Usher, then a Deacon. It all happened in a matter of a few years. Seemed like Daddy had the right stuff finally thankfully, all owed to the Lord. But, it got even better as he was called to be a pastor at a small country church that had been standing since the early 1800's. Down a dirt-gravel road, I remember that church well and he went on to become an Ordained Southern Baptist Minister that would pastor that church for almost 20 years until his death in 1996. Now, how does this really relate to Catfishing? Let me tell you about the symbolism here. Catfish are bottom feeders, they scavenge and roam the bottom in places that other "prized" game fish do not frequent. They are often overlooked as other species of fish are the ones that bring about the most prestige when caught. They often eat things that others won't and there is a place in the food chain for them, often at the end of the line when it comes to scavenging food that used to be alive, as a dead carcass turns to waste, catfish often show up to clean that carcass. There-in is where this story goes....for the LORD saw my father as a bottom-feeder, he sought him, even though he might have been a lowly-womanizing drunk that cursed and put my mother threw mental anguish and abuse, the LORD turned him around. He healed my father, twisted with the disease of alcohol, sex addiction and more. He turned my father who was the clay on his Potter's wheel into a vessel to bring good and light to those that needed my father and he would come to convert many to the LORD, saving countless lives in the process, helping others where they needed help. I miss my father more than you will ever know and he's been gone this coming September 28th. It will be 24 years. I long to see my father and to hug him John. I miss him very much and even though I am a 56 year old man that really doesn't get out that much to fish anymore, I can think back to my days with him, when he was a cast out drunk, and be reminded of what the LORD did for him many years ago and how the LORD rescued my mother and father's marriage and kept us together. I believe in the power of the LORD and I will never be able to repay him for what he did for my father. But, I wanted you to know how special watching your video's are to me. When I watched this video, I felt a conviction to write this "epistle" so that others know that the LORD can, AND DOES, change lives. Sometimes, you don't have to believe because he does that for you and makes you into a believer. As I have told you, the Lord has YOU where HE wants you, to reach others like me with your videos. It's not about fishing, although I'm sure there are those that watch your videos often think that it's nothing but fishing. It's about a sport, such as fishing where the LORD can use others in places to bring in bottom dwellers that need to be "healed" from things in their lives that hold them down. In this case, to me, it's way more than about fishing. It's about the LORD taking my father, stuck in the muck and mud of life, and bringing up to be so much more. That's what it means to me when I think about Catfishing.

get you 1 pack of hotdogs, cut them up into 8ths, put them into a gallon ziplock bag, add 1 cup of yogurt (any kind), 2 tablespoons of garlic powder, let it set in the sun for abt 4 hours and put it on a hook and you’ll catch the hell outta catfish. best homemade bait i’ve used

When I’m catfishing I’m normally trying to keep my kids patient 😂🤣

While catfishing, I like to have a couple of other poles in my hand while I wait on the cats. I also tend to eat a lot while I am out on the boat, something about snacking while fishing... Thanks for sharing and for the giveaway.

When I go fishing for catfish, I usually bring my dad and my wife with me. My wife always organizes the boat perfectly so I can’t ever find anything. My dad is 77 and he usually has some wise crack about the spot I pick out while tangled up in trees, or his other lines. By the end of our adventure they both end up saying “thank god you’re not a fishing guide”..... or “thank god they sale catfish.”

Catfishing I always have a different pole with me to catch bluegill with that way I have bait for the catfish

I catch blue and shad for cut bait while catfishing. They are catfish candy.Try to use whatever bait is natural to the body of water. I really don't do much in between bites. Have to watch your rods because the minute you get distracted, your rod will bend over. Checkout my channel because I am all about catfish.

I fish near my house and I have this creek I use a 7’0 medium rod. I would love a rod like that

When I’m cat fishing I like to listen to music and bass fish or just relax in my chair

I typically try to catch as much bait as possible with my cast net, or I through around a swim bait.

U should have used bluegill for catfish bait

I usually talk to my to my friends and appreciate life

Sometimes when cat fishing, i also fish for other species. That helps pass the time.

I don't use facebook but I subbed to their youtube channel.

I'm a pretty patient guy and just love being near the water, so when I'm fishing for catfish I don't need much to keep me occupied!

When I’m catfishing I’m usually just sitting there lost in thought waiting for the bell on the end of my rod to ding

When I'm catfishing, I try to organize my tackle and all that, or we just fish for other species!

I need that

I’m so excited that you’re doing a giveaway and I enjoyed reading the comments! I hope someone that shared one of the great stories wins and enjoys it! Looking forward to more videos!

I love your videos man they always make my day

John when I am cat fishing I spend my time socializing with the important people in my life. I have been blessed with a partner who also loves fishing. Her and I travel to fish because it is quality time we can spend together. We love your videos, thank you and keep up the fun! We also love piscifun. Keep us in mind for the giveaway!!

Catfishing and carp fishing... Read a book.

If I have signal I’m usually shopping for more gear!

I play on my phone,and keep a eye on my rod.

That crappie was random af lol great fishing spot

Hey John when I'm catfishing I usually bring another setup to fish for other species but if I'm with friends or family I like to spend the time talking to them. Great video and an even better channel btw!

Great video man. It would be amazing to win that reel and test it on my channel

I'm always untangling fishing line or trying to get my kids bobber out of a 🌳 tree while I'm catfishing 😆 it helps to pass the time

While waiting on a catfish bite I just enjoy nature! I've caught catfish on the hotdog, Kool-Aid, garlic paste technique, BUT turtles will eat it too. That's the main negative, and the smell. Awesome looking Warmouth! Oh man, nice bass! Day was definitely a success.

I throw a Ned rig for bass waiting for a catfish

You should do a survival creek fishing video 👍🏾 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

We had a spot growing up where we could have a fire and set up a nice cat fishing spot. We would pass time by catching bluegills to use for cut bait, and pulled a good few 10+ lbers with. Having friends there we would just chat and wait for the bells to ring, sometimes bring a deck of cards and always a little speaker for music.

The last time I went cat fishing, I watched Jaws on my cell phone while waiting on a bite. Great movie for night time cat fishing. Was kinda creepy actually. Lol

Im always fishing another reel while catfishing to pass the time! Same as you! I bought my first Piscifun reel last month thanks to seeing you use them! Love it! Would love to win another!

I’ve never caught a catfish, didn’t think to look in creeks too much.

I watch your videos to pass time!😂. Nice job on your channel! I hope I’m in the giveaway!

for the dogs... try the jalapeno cheddar weiners.... and let sit out overnight... ... vieanna sausage makes a nice bait... and lunch!

I'm not a big fan of still fishing. I can't sit still!! I usually do as you do. I cast lures while I wait on the catfish to bite. Otherwise, I play trivia on my phone.

Usually doing exactly that....play around for panfish while I’m waiting!!

One thing I do while waiting on the catfish is continue fishing for anything else that bites. Panfish, bass anything. Donkeys of all sizes. Great episode bro. The nikko craw is fire. Tight lines

Whenever I'm catfishing I enjoy just laughing with my friends and making memories🎣🎣🎣

When catfishing I usually fish for something else while waiting.

I don't try to target catfish usually... sure would love a new combo though😉. Enjoy and appreciate your videos. Keep em coming.

Dude, take those dogs, cut into chunks, add garlic, strawberry jello mix, and a touch of water...great bank pole bait...

While catfishing (like any other fishing), I'm usually looking at birds like ospreys, eagles, kingfishers, and ducks.

We like to start a small camp fire on the river bank while catfishing. Hot dogs or chicken are the best over the open fire!!!!

When I’m catfishing and waiting on bites I’m usually listening to some good old country music and just kicking back! I usually bring my bass combo just in case, always gotta be prepared!!! #keephammerinfootballs!!!!!

I do exactly what you do keep fishing for whatever bites. I primarily fish ultra-light so that reel would be AMAZING.

When catfishing we actually fish the Tennessee River at Nickajack Dam! We use Flexit spoons!

When I go cat fishing I like to use chicken liver 🤷🏻‍♂️ But I’ve never been lucky to catch one😂🤦🏻‍♂️

Matthew 4:19!!! Exciting to see the age old pastime enjoyed by so many! Thank you for helping to continue this tradition... yet my prayer and hope is that many would come to CHRIST! And believe on him!! FOLLOW ME AND TEACH YOU HOW TO BE FISHERS OF MEN:)🐠✝️

I'm playing on my phone, watching fishing videos. Or just enjoying being outdoors.

Jon, shrimp is awesome for catfish.Try it it works.Also chicken livers but they are kinda of discusting,lots blood.

When I'm fishing for catfish, I usually just enjoy the peace and tranquility of my surroundings. Very relaxing and calming.

While catfishing i dream of winning free giveaways from my favorite RU-vid personalities.

Hey wanted to say thank you for all the River/creek fishing videos you’ve done.....I have used some of the technics you use and today I caught my PB Black Bass....3-4lbs no scale wish I could send you the pic....again thanks for the videos and keep up the hard work....

Usually fishing for catfish with my older sister. We talk baseball. She is the best fishing partner. Love your channel.

Cain fishing. Go super old Skool. Tom Sawyer stuff. When I was a kid used corn, night crawlers and cut up beef livers.

While cat fishing I normally use my other setups and fish for other fish.... I don't have Facebook so I don't know if that'll knock me out of the giveaway ☹️☹️.. but tight lines 🎣

while waiting for catfish, i watch creek fishing adventures on my phone!!!!!

When catfishing i usually use another rod to catch either more bait or whatever will bite! Love your videos keep them coming!!👍👍👍👍

Don't know why......but I catch a catfish or two when fishing for bass with ned rigs, or plastic worms everytime I go out. Even on the Nikko Helgramite a couple of weeks ago. I do use fish attractant on my lures....maybe that's why. Enjoyed the video, keep 'em coming! 😊

Always very enjoyable videos and looks just like a couple of the creeks I fished when I was a kid about 50 years ago.....ugh! Just realized how old I am getting! 🤪

Nice of you to do the giveaway! I would love to win some new equipment, mine is at least 20 years old! I had it when I lived in New Orleans before Hurricane Katrina, back in 2005! I found the Piscifun Facebook Page and Liked it, and I subscribed to their RU-vid Channel like you asked! Me...I like fishing for catfish by myself. I find someplace where I can sit in my chair and watch something on my tablet. I have used hotdogs with Stink Bait....and caught nice 3 - 4 pounder Blue Cats and Channel's that were pretty good eating.

When I’m catfishing, I watch Creek Fishing Adventures and FishHawk until I get a hit!

When I'm catfishing, I fish with a different pole. GR8 Video, keep it up I have never won a giveaway!

I have a fishing music play list on my phone. I like Tragically Hip and OAR. I also bring an extra rod like you do. Great videos!!

I usually catch up on missed RU-vid videos and try to catch panfish while I'm waiting on the catfish.

If I’m cat fishing I’m with family or friends and we usually just chat it up and joke around while we wait. Sometimes we cookout. Great video!

Great Video John. I love fishing with my 10 year old grandson, but it makes me think of running trotlines with my Dad back in the 50's and 60's. He passed away in 1985, but those memories of catfishing will last forever. I really enjoy your channel!

The only catfish I’ve caught was hooked with the fishing line wrapped around a bunch of weeds. I caught the weeds- the catfish was a bonus! God Bless.

I catfish on accident. I caught my biggest catfish when I was fishing for bass🤣 I love your videos man.

I listen to podcasts. Usually some Steven furtick from elevation church! Listening to the word while I wait for the catfish

When I'm catfishing I've always got another light rod out. Since I've began watching CFA I have been able to try so many new tactics! I was catfishing one day and trying the whopper plopper after seeing it on CFA and caught my PB largemouth, 6.72!

My brother and I pass the time just relaxing, chatting, and enjoying good snacks!

When I’m catfishing or any creek fishing I’ll build a fire. I’m not sure why just something I always do.

I'm 70yrs. My dad taught me to love fishing. When I'm after catfish I use nightcrawlers and creek chubs that I trap in my creek. Usually start fishing at dusk. Mostly farm ponds. Waiting for a bite I just enjoy the evening and the sounds of nature. Really enjoy your site , thanks.
