Finally was able to get out and start chasing them fish on the river. Between current and trash it was definitely tough. But I was able to find a few.

Skipjack are on fire up here

@mickaburkhart14 Месяц назад

They are around here to but just finding cleaner water to catch them. I caught a couple that day but not as many as I would like.

@kccatfishing4929 Месяц назад

He had that rod pinned. Heck of a takedown.

@mickaburkhart14 Месяц назад

Yeah it was. I was sure glad to see it.😅

@kccatfishing4929 Месяц назад

Me too

@1squirreldog Месяц назад

I really like how you explain the area your fishing like the feeder creeks & how the bottom is . That helps me learn how to fish better for cats thank you .

@mickaburkhart14 Месяц назад

Thank you for that. Sometimes alot of that makes a difference. Just know what the fish are relating to is key.

@1squirreldog Месяц назад

@@mickaburkhart14 we are starting to fish tidal water with strong currents . I have yet to know how to catch cats when the tide is running strong . When it slacks down to change the bite is all over . This is mainly channel cats .

@mickaburkhart14 Месяц назад

@@1squirreldog tidal waters are really tough to figure out. I do know flow is ideal.

@hoodbillyjohn9589 Месяц назад

I’m with ya on that one , I don’t fish the beds either, to let them reproduce ..

@mickaburkhart14 Месяц назад

Yeah I know I could catch them there but they are under enough stress as it is. I can wait till they come back out 😆

@chriswalls5831 Месяц назад

I wanna see you pull another 100 plus catfish out have a feeling you will again go get them big ones

@mickaburkhart14 Месяц назад

Thank you. I really hope I can. That would be epic for sure.

@RIVERRATEXCURSIONS Месяц назад

That was one of those Illinois river channel cats. ive caught some big ones up here around the peoria lock and damn one close to 15lbs. I think they get a little bigger here on account of little to no blue cats to eat them and the food supply. Them bigguns have gave me some of my best fights. Id hate to have a 50+lb blue fight and run like a big channel cat. Great video glad to see you out on the hunt thats my favorite part is having to work for them.

@mickaburkhart14 Месяц назад

Thank you. Yeah one of the bigger channels I've caught in a while.

@FightinChanceFishing-Spence Месяц назад

Nice fish! That junk just ruins things sometimes.

@mickaburkhart14 Месяц назад

Thank you. Yeah it was spotty all over the river so I could kinda fish around it but when a barge came by it just pushed it everywhere. Had 5 come by that day lol. So when it started to clean up here come another one.

@ShiningLightFishing Месяц назад

Beautiful fish for sure ❤

@michaelknight9112 Месяц назад

Awesome video thanks for the information

@mickaburkhart14 Месяц назад

Thank you

@user-xv9bi3ne9m Месяц назад

I'm glad to see you out there again. Even if it is tough out there it is great to tag along and learn something. But I can't wait to hear you laughing that's when it is exciting. Be blessed. My friend.

@mickaburkhart14 Месяц назад

Thank you. Yeah it was still a little tough but I'm at home on the river. It's only gonna get better from here.

@DaleWyman Месяц назад

Great to see a new video. I was chasing Peacock Bass in FL as our Catfish bite in NC slowed way down. Hope to be back on them cats next week. Also looking forward to the Open House here @ MAD KATZ!

@mickaburkhart14 Месяц назад

Thank you. Yeah the bite around here is pretty slow also. Peacock bas is a fish I've never caught. I'm gonna have to go and catch some one day.

@mickaburkhart14 Месяц назад

Yeah it was. Thank you for watching. The fishing is starting to heat up. Hopefully more biggens to come.

@RiverJunkie Месяц назад

Your rod stiffness plays a big part on the suspended bite. Circle hooks need a stiffer rod to hook up.

@mickaburkhart14 Месяц назад

Yeah I moved to the madkatz carbyne rod for suspending. Alot stiffer than the regular s glass rods.

@RiverJunkie Месяц назад

@@mickaburkhart14 Me too. I run the heavy action w/ 50lb mono.

My wife likes your long sleeve shirt with the built in hoodie for sun protection. Was looking on the link but couldnt find them. Are they available?

@mickaburkhart14 Месяц назад

No unfortunately not yet. I'm going to be putting a website together to purchase my merch. It just hasn't happened yet. Still working on a few things. But be on the lookout for it.

@Mrbartone19651 Месяц назад

Can’t figure out that code on your reels. Are those Penn? I like em! What’s your take in them? Thanks 🙏🏼

@mickaburkhart14 Месяц назад

Yes they are penn fathom 20lw. I absolutely love them. Best on the market in my opinion.

@bradyriddle5522 Месяц назад

I don't know what kinda whisker seeker hook you used... But if the hook has an offset to it the hook up ratio will be better. I drift and suspend fish with the bass pro catt Maxx 9/0. That particular hook has no offset. So I do it myself. Either left or right it doesn't matter. I still get hooked up.

@mickaburkhart14 Месяц назад

Then your luck suspending is way better that mine. I just can't seem to to keep them hooked up on a circle hook. But I did also move to a stiffer rod and maybe that's the difference 🤔
