Ohio River Action:Fishing for Blue catfish around mussel beds

This was video was shot on the Cannelton pool just 20 miles down river from the McAlpine dam in Louisville KY. http://monsterrodholders.com/ I was using frozen skip jack cut in small pieces. i was fishing in about 35 foot of water on the deep water flats using both a suspended and dragging methods. Catching catfish on both type of rigs. In the summer months on rivers such as the Ohio river the deep flats provide a great food source that blue cats love. That food source is mussels. Find a good mussel bed on the deep water flats and you will not have to go nowhere else the rest of the day as the cats of all sizes will roam these flats in good numbers scavenging through the gravel/sand/mud mixed bottom for these small hard shell morsels. The bluecats will eat these mussels, absorb their flesh and later either regurgitate or evacuate the shells. It’s not uncommon to have loads of zebra mussel shells that the cats have left me in my live tank after a tournament. ********************************************************************** Please visit our sponsors Below: ********************************************************************** Excel Boats http://www.excelboats.net/ Jeff Jones Marine http://www.jeffjonesmarine.com/ Monster Rod Holders http://monsterrodholders.com/ Tangling with Catfish Rods http://www.tanglingwithcatfish.com/ Catfish Conference https://catfishconference.com/ NjaEye Action Cams http://njaeye.com/ Choc-cola Chocolate drink http://www.choc-ola.com/ *********************************************************************** MY GEAR AND EQUIPMENT (Below links are Amazon Associate links) The HOOKS I use http://amzn.to/2gAnfRP There ball bearing swivels I use http://amzn.to/2fvywTv Snap locks I use for dragging baits http://amzn.to/2gAnhcd Three way swivels I use http://amzn.to/2gAotw2 Fishing line I use 65 lb braid http://amzn.to/2gd7246 Video Camera http://amzn.to/2fG8Mz7 Directional Shotgun Mic http://amzn.to/2fvz3Fa Wireless Mic http://amzn.to/2gd7LTc Depth Finder Lowrance HDS12 http://amzn.to/2hepc6r ********************************************************************** SUBSCRIBE here for more catfishing videos https://www.youtube.com/user/akwalung ********************************************************************** Follow me on.....

16. This was a very nice, well made video of some good catfishin'. I'm curious about one thing though, in Illinois where I live you are only able to fish with 2 rods at the same time, what's the law say in Kentucky? Steve uses the same kind of cut bait and rig that I use, glad to see it being successful!
    Peace,
    Jim
17. Hey Steve, where did you get your rod hold holder rig on the back of the boat? Or did you have it made?
