In this video, I hit anchored down in a creek mouth in search blue and flathead catfish. I had to sort through some small fish early but it paid off with a big blue. It was another fun day of kayak catfishing on the Tennessee River.

Look like an awesome morning with all the action and Turkeys too.

@KayakCatfish 5 лет назад

It was a fun day for sure.

@jeffmorris8768 5 лет назад

Another fine morning having a blast.One thing about fishing down there ,you don,t get your world rocked as bad.I wonder if the striper,s have run upriver,because you usually hook a few in that section.

@KayakCatfish 5 лет назад

Thanks Jeff! The lack of boat traffic is the main reason I like fishing that area. Surprisingly, I have only caught one striper all year.

Another good video.....seems to be a lot of flotsam....buoys and such......on the water this spring.

@briansuttles492 5 лет назад

Nice video, how far do you live from the lake? Dinks are still action. Have you tried lighter gear for catfish just for fun,10lb. line 2/0 hooks?

@KayakCatfish 5 лет назад

Thanks Brian! The closest launch site from my house is 2 miles. I usually fish within a 45 minute radius of home. I use lighter tackle if I am targeting smaller fish but I’m not going to risk hooking a 100lber on light tackle.

@MrPat1953 5 лет назад

Another wonderful video,,,Your black rod, is that a Shakespeare Ugly Stik 7-foot medium-heavy Elite Casting Rod ?

@KayakCatfish 5 лет назад

It’s a custom built rod I won in a tournament a couple years ago.

@hobo7070 5 лет назад

Another great video. I have experienced the same dilemma during a dink bite...do you stay where the fish are biting for the big one to get a chance or move away from the dink’s in search of the big one. Problem of course is that you’ll never know which would have been better.... keep it up

@KayakCatfish 5 лет назад

Thanks! I second guess myself out there all the time.

@kaevekplays1903 5 лет назад

Justin - Question for you. I'm curious what the padding you have zip tied to each rod is for?

Kaevek Plays I think they’re rod floats. You can usually get them at any outdoor store.

@codyrobison6817 5 лет назад

Hey bud need some advice fishing a reservoir water temp are low 60s there are 2 small creeks that feed the lake would you be fishing mouths of the creeks off the main lake or go back into the creek arms where the water is shallower and a little warmer also should i concentrate on the creek on the far side of the lake farthest from the spillway or would both creek arms be equally as good hope this makes sense thanks

@KayakCatfish 5 лет назад

Why not fish them all and see where you are finding the fish?

@eric.roquet 5 лет назад

Question about your reel link...Do you use the 6500 series? If so, then why not the 5500 or 4600 series. I'm looking to get my 1st catfish setup for my kayak, thanks for any info.

@KayakCatfish 5 лет назад

Yes, I use the 6500 series. I used the 5500’s for years and liked them too. The size of reel you want just comes down to how much line capacity you need.

@clarkbreen4634 5 лет назад

Do you ever keep any catfish to eat? I've been in the same predicament where it seems like the shad are jumping all over the place but the fish didn't bite until the shad calmed down.

@KayakCatfish 5 лет назад

I never keep any to eat. Our water is contaminated.

@clarkbreen4634 5 лет назад

Yeah that makes sense, we have that problem in the Trinity RIver too. I catch and release there

@@KayakCatfish Awesome!

@Murdant 5 лет назад

I notice that you don't set the hook. Are they hooking themselves, and you just reel them in? Also, in what part of TN are you located? Edited: you just mentioned Fort Loudoun dam, so I assume you're in the Knoxville area.

@KayakCatfish 5 лет назад

I use circle hooks. They hook themselves when they take the bait. I live a few minutes west of Knoxville.

@dennisfarley6574 4 года назад

You mentioned the carp breaking water have you tried carp for bait? They are fairly oily and bleed pretty well.

@KayakCatfish 4 года назад

I use them for bait on occasion but I rarely catch them. I need to spend more time targeting them.

@dennisfarley6574 4 года назад

They are easy to catch load a #2 hook with canned corn and put it on the bottom. One good one makes a lot of bait.

@poormansmtb5204 5 лет назад

I would fish places just out of the heavy current where fish might move to get a break from it.

For someone who wants to start kayak fishing what set up should we get?

@mtnwayadventures9661 5 лет назад

Generally, when is the spawn there? Is it different for blues than flatheads?

@KayakCatfish 5 лет назад

June usually sucks for blues and flatheads here. Before RU-vid, I would just target other species from June through mid July.

@alexhughes4294 5 лет назад

Kayak Catfish The first 2 weeks of June have been the best time for me. I live in Indiana so I think they spawn later up here.

@MRSludgedude 5 лет назад

How In the hell are you catching Flathead in the daytime? I can only do that at dams with jigs and cut bait that drifts by there nose. Young Flathead will take cut over live in my experience but only in currant. Keep these coming. I bet night with huge live gills or a carp will get you a record. I take a carp and cut it's fin off and a bit of blood. That brings in 30 minimum Flathead. I sure wish we had blues here..I think they are a bit more fun because they run and don't take you down. I don't play Flathead out I horse them in as fast as I can with as little drag possible to turn that head. Blues I can play them out .

@KayakCatfish 5 лет назад

All of my biggest flatheads have been caught during daytime hours on cut bait.

@MRSludgedude 5 лет назад

@@KayakCatfish that is interesting. I can do that all day and get a few channels and small Flathead below a dam but it's rare. I don't get Flathead runs until 8 pm to 10 pm. Then from 4 am to 6 am. It's usually dead from 11 to 4 am but I usually get one chance in that window. My brother on the east coast catches them all day too. He is in Virginia and Maryland fishing the potomic and they are hundreds but not many over five pounds.

@@KayakCatfish ohh ok, yeah any 60 to 90 pounds in there? I know you got 100 pound blues in there. You can tell instantly if it's a blue or a flat on your rod. Blue f 16, Flathead is a steam engine.
