    Hey nick. Fishing deep holes on your kayak vertically with it boat will help. Also from the bank or boat or kayak fishing channel mouths where they empty a main body of water is a good spot too. Even if you don’t get bites having fresh cut shad down there the scent will travel and fish come through at some point.

    You may not like the distance, but I think you have found a spot that just might hold that triple digit flatty.
    I still worry about the terrain that you're fishing on for safety reasons if you hook into a triple digit and you might want to have a friend there and plan on a 2 night gig.
    Best of Luck Nick

    @timmontano8792 Před měsícem +3

    Hey Nick: I'm not trolling you, even though my question might make me sound like a troll.
    Have you ever fished for giant catfish using bloody tampons? It's not what you think. Although you do need to use tampons, (unscented type is a must) the blood you use to dip them in is made of chicken livers that have been put in a blender. You can also, as an optional recipe, ad some shrimp just to give the mix more of a fishy scent.
    As teenagers we did this using some freezer burned chicken liver that our mom was going to throw out. It's a long story but, long story short, we put the stuff in the blender then stole some of our older sister's tampons and used them to soak up the liquified chicken liver.
    We then put them in the freezer over night for our fishing trip the next morning. It worked like gang busters. We brought in some decent sized catfish that day. I wish I had some photos to show you as proof but we were poor teenagers who couldn't afford to buy bait at conventional sporting goods stores. I'll have to remember to take pictures next time I'm using this method.
    Full digression, we only did that twice as teenagers, then our sister noticed her box of tampons were missing a few tampons. Our mom found out about it, and we got in more trouble than I could ever explain.
    Our sister made us out to be teenage pervs but, in reality, the idea of using those tampons to soak up the chicken liquified liver just came to us, so we decided to try it.
    Your attempt to catch a monster catfish just reminded me of back when I was a teenage catfish fisherman.
    I still use this method on rare occasions but, most of my fish catching is focused on bass now.

      @@beizamslayer4418 I know this bait works but, if anyone here decided to try it out, make sure you don't tell your mom or your girlfriend what you used for bait.
      If you do, get used to the following reaction "Cook Your Own Damn Catfish!" or something similar to that.
      The key here, and what the easily offended or grossed out don't understand is, that you eat the catfish. You don't eat the bloody tampons.

      @@TheFishinMortician You're absolutely right about just using a rag. That works too.
      In fact there are more than a few CZcams post from dedicated catfish fishermen that have posted videos on this subject.
      It's the same concept, except that the Tampons are more compact and absorbent so, for this application it tends to work far better.
      Incidentally, in those videos I allude to, the fishermen simply sprayed WD40 on their rags of choice or used cooking oil.
      Apparently, catfish aren't the smartest fish in the water if they'll eat a rag covered in slop.
