Catfishing Below a Dam with Todd



Saturday June 21st I called my old friend Todd and told him we were going cat fishing. He said where are we going??. To a dam where we wade out 300 feet to the middle and catch catfish I said.  Catfish during the daytime??  Yep!  Catfish during the daytime and not just channels and blues but Flatheads during the daytime.
I picked him up and off to the bait store to get aprox 20 gold fish. Not cheap at 2-3 bucks a piece so we must luv to fish.
We waded below this 600 foot long dam and tossed the goldfish right into the turbulent water below the dam.   We missed a few fish and slung off some Goldfish but it was worth it.
My rod used was a Ugly Stik Tiger Rod paired with a Shimano Baitrunner 6500 spooled with 25 lb line.   7-9/0 hooks and 2-4 oz sinkers.  
All of this video is from the 21st except the last picture which I threw in from the last trip.

Not many caught today but it was a FUN DAY.

Enjoy.
