Late Winter Catfish Fishing / River Fishing For Channel Catfish / Muskrats Messing With Us

In this Michigan fishing video we decided to do some late winter catfish fishing. We were river fishing for channel catfish and ended up getting quite a few Yellow bullhead along with one decent channel catfish and a nice rock bass. Yellow bullhead fishing isn't so much a thing one sets out to do usually but they are fun in winter when fishing has been slow for so long. So we needed a break from steelhead fishing so we could feel what its like to fight a fish again lol. We decided to go river fishing for channel catfish on The Grand River in a spot I usually do well in for late winter and early spring catfish fishing. River fishing for catfish is good times in my book and this was our first time catfishing in 2021 and It felt good to go night fishing for catfish from the bank for the first time since late fall of last year. Catfish fishing in Michigan can be pretty epic and we were happy to get into a few on our first attempt of the season. Its definitely a bit early for catfish fishing but that wasn't going to stop us.

I believe this was our first time night fishing for catfish in winter. Usually there is too much ice and the bite is too slow to make it worth it but in late winter after a thaw it can be done. We tried to target channel catfish while ice fishing this winter for the first time ever but didnt have any luck finding any hungry catfish.

Fishing Michigan rivers is the name of the game so make sure to stay tuned for more Michigan fishing videos, Tips and more!

The channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) is North America's most numerous catfish species. It is the official fish of Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, and Tennessee, and is informally referred to as a "channel cat". In the United States, they are the most fished catfish species with around 8 million anglers targeting them per year. The popularity of channel catfish for food has contributed to the rapid expansion of aquaculture of this species in the United States.

Channel catfish are native to the Nearctic, being well distributed in lower Canada and the eastern and northern United States, as well as parts of northern Mexico. They have also been introduced into some waters of landlocked Europe (Czech Republic and Romania) and parts of Malaysia and almost as many parts of Indonesia.[7] They thrive in small and large rivers, reservoirs, natural lakes, and ponds. Channel "cats" are cavity nesters, meaning they lay their eggs in crevices, hollows, or debris, to protect them from swift currents.

The yellow bullhead is a medium-sized member of the catfish family. It is typically yellow-olive to slatey-black on the back and sometimes mottled depending on habitat. The sides are lighter and more yellowish, while the underside of the head and body are bright yellow, yellow white, or bright white. The rear edge of its caudal fin is rounded. The anal fin is much larger than many fish having anywhere between 24 and 27 rays. The yellow bullhead, though less common, can be easily distinguished from the brown bullhead and black bullhead by its white barbels or "whiskers". Yellow bullheads are medium-sized bullheads rarely getting larger than 2 lb (0.91 kg) but can reach up to four pounds. This species is often misidentified on social media and the Internet. Yellow bullheads range in size from 6 to 14 inches, and can live up to 12 years.

The yellow bullhead likes food. It locates prey by brushing the stream bottom with its barbels. Taste buds on the barbels tell the yellow bullhead whether or not contact is made with edible prey. They typically feed at night on a variety of plant and animal material, both live and dead, most commonly consisting of worms,[5] insects, snails, minnows, clams, crayfish, other small aquatic organisms, plant matter, and decaying animal matter. Compared to the black and brown bullheads, the yellow bullheads consume more aquatic vegetation.
