Why the Catfish are NOT Biting Right Now

I went two weeks ago and caught a 25 lb flathead and i went today and not a bite. But a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work .

Its from all the Kool-Ade in the water. 😂

Hey I'm new to your channel I have watched some of your videos in the past. I'm a disabled veteran, I can get around pretty good but I can't walk long distances so I like places where I can pull up unload sit down and fish. I don't carry my stuff far to fish. I'm 58 years old but I've always loved fishing. I'm always watching different videos of different people and see what they're doing and you're doing. Always trying to learn new stuff to help me catch fish. Enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for all you do.

Really cool that you tell customers up front that fishing is going to be tough. As long as they come into it with the right mindset, then all is fair. Glad we hit the water before the spawn.

Dieter ,,this is that old fishing guide that is retired up at lake hickory ,,,here is what did to catch fish during the spawn ,,I booked all my trips right before sundown and fished till midnight and I fished in and near shallow brush or structure and caught tons of flat head n channel ,,,we don’t have blues up here.

we had high water from the tropical system in the gulf pushing saltwater up into the estuaries.. catfish were on the move going further inshore for fresher water and biting like crazy

I'm up here in Maryland I mainly fish stoney creek which is in Anne Arundel county . I have been fishing this area for around 8 year now and I have pay close attention to the catfish patterns. Usually they go into the spawn between the first and second week of June but this year the water got up to 65 degrees by the third week of May so they started spawn early. Last week me and my fishing buddy amount of catch started Increasing. Now just this morning I went out and caught 12 catfish in 3 hours so it starting to look promising up. Thank you for the content and info you share with us I'm a fan and over the years you have Taught me a lot.

This video made me feel better. I was being to think I just don't know how to fish anymore

U right went to cape fear lock and dam 2 last weekend and fished all night and not a cat in sight

Here in Minnesota, tolerable fishing temperatures are when the water isn't frozen over. Actually, we ice fish too. When the fish aren't biting here, we just say "dang".

You’re spot on! Here in Southern Oklahoma on lake Texoma generally from Memorial Day to July 4th it’s a hard bite. Great time for the noodlers, but I’ll switch up to striper fishing.

Thanks for the pep talk brother!

Thks for the insight and information.

Reporting from Lake Mead, Nevada. Fish are biting here. Just caught 5 Catfish in an hour last night. Good Luck everyone!

Totally enjoyed video Deiter . Can't wait to hit Santee after the Fourth.Hope the bite will be on.😊

This yr has been rough where I’m at, I’ve caught 3 picture worthy blues and either get skunked or get a bunch of babies the rest of the time, but the bite is starting to pick up and hopefully by the 4th of July it’ll be on like donkey Kong , enjoy your videos as always dieter keep up the great work your doing, it doesn’t go unnoticed

I let my clients know too. My last trip was in new water to me and in very hot bath water. We still got two over 10 and multiple small ones! We were lucky!

I just went out last night for crappie and catfish overnight at lake Sonoma Ca. mostly small crappie but zero bites for cats. last week was one catfish and a few bites ,but not the big ones. thanks for the confirmation about the spawn.

Jello chicken has fizzled out for us. We’ve switched over to running a combination of live eels and cut eel. Been crushing them even in this heat and low water

Fished the cooper river system last weekend. The bite was pretty good. The fish I caught were in deeper water and had already spawned.
