Drifting and Slabbing with a Thumper

Drifting and Slabbing with a Thumper - 09/07/21 04:14 AM

I was able to shoot a video of the last trip we took. It was pretty epic. I was able to look at the graph times and we had fish under us for over an hour. I used every trick in the book to keep them there (changing speed, chum etc.) This should be a really helpful video on how to catch fish using a thumper...

Not sure what "thumbing" is, so I can't say whether it works or not. However, thumping does work.

Call me crazy but the last few times crappie fishing I have turned up my radio and the bass. Seem to be catching more and bite has been aggressive.

Sunday I was fishing for striper on Texoma and ended up catching catfish one after another. Ended the day with 13 striper and 17 catfish all on live shad! Catfish love a thumper…

I posted a short video of the results from our first stop.
