Dave, You always teach me something. You forgot one though,...boat ramps can provide entertainment, like on Memorial Day Weekend. At least one forgotten drain plug every 30 minutes. Keep fighting the good fight. It looks like 51 feet to me too.
We used to pack a lunch and go the Tayor's Creek ramp in Beaufort, NC. I have seen drunk people fall out of the boat, several trucks go right in the creek and also a woman hit her man with a brick. Never a shortage of entertainment.
Some of the best advice ever! I laughed my butt off but trust me I take your advice and use it myself and that includes all your videos! Thanks catfish Dave!
Thanks for the "Boat Ramp Cat Fish" education Big Dave! I'll see if that works out up here along the Snake River where I know there are some decent catfish! Nothing like what you have down there of course... but our problem up here is we have these pesky Sturgeon that like to eat the same stuff we use for catfishing! :) Don't forget to break out that Les Paul one of these days my friend! ;)
You hit the boat ramp fishing right on! All kinds of fish hang around boat ramps, most ramps have deep holes from the ramp out to the middle of the river. After launching my boat, my finder had fish stacked up around most of the ramps I've launched at.
So true Dave. Used to fish for big stripers off of rocks next boat ramp and can’t tell you how many people coming in would offer fish that they caught to us. Great video as always. Appreciate you. Blessings.
I enjoyed your video about fishing around boat ramps. I fish the Mississippi river and boat ramps are placed in eddys to make loading boats easy. Eddys are my go to when it is cold fishing from the bank. Good video.
Lmao 🤣 your exactly right about the crappie fisherman trying to give there fish away. I’ve had it happen to me several times at the ramp.I guess People just have a hard time releasing fish. That’s why some people keep trophy catfish I guess.😡. Enjoyed it as usual Dave👍👍
Good morning Dave. This warm weather in East Tennessee is nuts! Last night at work it was 60 degrees. In January! That guy in the boat must have been fishing for the pot of gold. Haha!
Great video Dave . That same cold front came through North/South Carolina Saturday night I was driving on US 321 it was all I could do to keep the truck in the road the wind was blowing so hard...
Nice one Dave you're fishing on a non boating kind of day, don't think anyone would have a problem with you being off to the side. Looks like you can catch trolls by boat ramps too 😎 Jeff in LA USA
The profoundness of your explanation is just outstanding sawfish the boat ramp well cuz there's water boat rent cuz there's a boat ramp dude you have a second grade education and I am giving you a lot more than what you should be given
Love the simple logic. #1 Boat ramps by the water. Catfish in the water. #2 Don't get my boots muddy. #3 Domino's Delivers to the ramp. Lmao. I use the same strategy when on vacation fishing tidal areas. Dont like mud on my shoes either. Tight lines brother.
shanester the I’m in those areas and few CD hasn’t shown. Hopefully he won’t show them if he goes so they don’t get blown up. I will be at Melton hill damn tonight.
Watch his back to my roots video I believe that is north East Tennessee, Douglas lake, holsten and French broad. I am new to TN , still learning the spots and patterns of the fish.
I saw the video back to roots. That's in sevierville. Boyd's creek. I knew Dave was from the Knoxville area. I was referring to someone else that commented.
Dave there is catfish at the end of that rainbow behind you, good fishing.also a lot of people throw leftover bait at boat landings that they dont want to carry home
Ramps are convenient places to fish but the bad part is, some people don't have enough common sense to get out of the way of trucks trying to launch or load boats. I don't have a boat and am a shore fisherman myself but I see this all the time. I will fish beside the ramps but dont like to setup on them. I was fishing near one ramp on Watts Bar a few weeks ago and some other bank fishermen came and sat chairs on the ramp itself and was fishing with floats right where the ramp goes into the water. 30 or so mins before dark, the boat fishermen that had been out fishing came to load their boats and these people just sat there in their camping chairs staring at their floats on the ramp. They had a 2 lane ramp totally blocked. They wouldn't reel in...wouldn't move. They just sat there and ended up getting into a shouting confrontation with the guys trying to load their boats.
Another reason a boat ramp is good for catching catfish: They're often situated in an area with deeper water relative to areas that have otherwise shallow water. You know, boats gotta navigate and so forth. Structure can be as little as a sharp 3 foot drop in depth. Structure is good. 🤙🤙🤙
Another advantage for boat ramps is that they is that they usually have stable footing. Which makes it easier to squat down and use my hand to cup my farts. Then, I can make myself dizzy by bringing my hand back up for a deep inhale. Try doing that on rocky terrain.
He has a video out there somewhere on repairing a cast net. It wasn't one of the cheap Wal-Mart nets but a little more expensive brand. I think it was in one of his videos on catching bait.
Yeah I think he does have a video on it. But like that other guy said Catfish Dave uses those goid nets they're abot $150 i checked on one . But can't remember the name brand now.
One time at one of the old ramp on Grapevine Lake walked 40 lb flat laying there. I dont know if he was there for bait or because it was warm but he was there
Hey dave , all them boat ramps have there own no fishing sign , and that makes it more of a challenge and more exciting,, have you ever noticed there ain’t no signs that say ,,, NO making Whoopi,,, I wonder why that is.
Justin with kayak catfish said back in the summer months hahaha.... he had some goob haha commenting on his feet while he was fishing hahaha.... you probably saw his video and laughed too! Just wanted to ask do you mind fishing with your tee-shirt wet! You have nice brestusus hahahahaha. Oh hell I know Justin’s rolling on the floor laughing on this comment. 😂😂😂 just yanking your chain😂😂 oh yah, nice cougar 👍 last video. Dave’s Cougar Catfishing!
We were fishing at a boat ramp one time and these two guys were trying to put a boat in the water. They forgot to take those straps off the back of the boat so the guy in the boat keeps telling him to back further in. the boat guy keeps trying to back the boat off of the trailer. Finally the trailer starts floating with the boat still on it!! At which time the boat guy signals for the truck guy to pull out. He puts it in drive and pulls it out, and doesn't even stop, he drives it clear out of sight!!
