I stumbled onto this video 3 days ago. It was a day before my first catfish tourney and cold front came in dropping the temp 20 degrees and the water temp 10+. Below freezing both days everyone got skunked except your boy solely because of this technique. I was fishing from the bank never stayed longer than 30 minutes on a spot and located 2 hungry channels for the W. Thanks for the knowledge brother, so happy for your rebound to life you're an inspiration to me.

The "bounding down" strategy works. I've done it some on my home river (the James in VA) and pulled in some nice fish this way. If you're confident the stretch you're fishing holds big fish, there is no need to pull anchor and move a couple miles. Keep sliding down until you find an active pocket of fish.

It's getting that time of year here in Oklahoma when I'm wishing I would have saved and froze some of that abundant shad. Good video thanks

@waysidemike mike i fish pretty much through the winter, as far as my boat, i dont winterize it as im always in it in the winter, i just maintain it throughout the year as needed. good luck and stay tuned new how to vids coming soon

I don't get to fish rivers. But, I fish good Blue Catfish lakes in North Texas (Lavon and Tawakoni). Just wanted to let you know even though most of your videos focus on river techniques, I really enjoy watching your videos. I hope to make to a river system one day, and your willingness to share your knowledge is much appreciated. Thanks for all you do for the sport and conversation of this great sport of Catch and Release of Trophy Blues!

Wishing you a great 2013 !

Great video. I just got back into fishing hardcore this year and sometimes to really catch fish it is a lot of work. My early days of fishing was fair weather fun. Caught some fish, but not like I do now.

its cold out side right now and the Wabash river is up, So why not stay inside and watch cold water fishing videos till the river goes down.

Thanks John, good video. I don't river fish yet, but some of the tournaments we'll be in the future will be on rivers, so I need to learn. Thanks for the tip.
