TOP 3 BEST Fishing Techniques to Catch CATFISH ANYWHERE!

There are a myriad of different methods to catch a catfish, but there are three very important techniques that every catfish angler should learn how to do. Each of the methods has its own inherent time and place where they be should be used to match current fishing conditions. Learning how to decipher what you should do on any particular day and body of water is the real puzzle.

Bottom bouncing or “bumping” is easily the most hands on method of catfishing out there. You are essentially finesse fishing with a piece of cutbait on the bottom, bouncing it down the river channel in heavy current flow. When the fish are very active and the bite is on, bumping is my favorite way to catch a catfish. When this isn’t the case, though, conditions dictate that you need to change your approach.

Less active fish can be caught anchor fishing. It is a neutral presentation and allows you to basically “bait and wait.” Winter time catfishing is marked by this technique. You can be extremely precise with your bait placement using this method. By takiing advantage of a depth finder with a gps function and mapping system, one can put the bait on the “sweet spot.”

Drift fishing or suspend fishing is right there in the middle between bumping and anchoring. It allows you to cover a good bit of water, but you can do it very slowly and methodically. This is an excellent method to catch large numbers of fish and some BIGGINS too! In this video, we do all three in a single day. Each place we fished was a different fishing scenario and we changed our approach to fit the need.
