What Fish Live at the Bottom of This Dam? (Unexpected)

2024-02-18に共有
This dam in the desert holds back an insane amount of water! Every year this river below gets a good release which releases even more fish! This was my first time exploring this dam spillway thing.

We set out to catch whatever we could, although our goal was 3 species of fish. Here in AZ this is one of the only active dams you can fish legally. Desert fishing can be awesome, but the lack of access places can be tricky.

We did manage some fish here in this spillway, but I will be back in the future for some more Arizona dam fishing.

    It's ok Mark, we've all fallen into the water trying to land a trophy Carp!😂
  • It is horseshoe lake spillway I've seen 60 lb flatheads come out of there. Live bluegill hand size catch the big ones.
  • You can’t complain, better than a good at work. You have one of the best fishing videos out there. You just got a subscriber. I didn’t think Arizona would have that much fishing spots. I thought mostly desert out there and by the way you have a nice dog. Peace and safe to you out there fishing.

    Beautiful place to fish. At least you got out and had some luck. Keep those videos rolling.
  • When swear by it but looks like horseshoe lake spillway. AZ
  • Awww, first a little Cawp and then a little kittenfish, how cute 😉
  • When I was a kid, one of my uncles worked for the Salt River Project. He lived at Canyon Lake dam, so I had access to fishing off the front of the dam and below it. If the turbines were going, I’d catch lots of trout. If they were off, it was monster carp fishing with top water baits. I caught some huge ones. Good times.
  • Awesome video, hopefully you get to explore it more. Been fishing there all my life and never disappoints.
  • For what it's worth, if you can find it, mackerel is a better bait. Especially with the skin on. The skin helps it stay on the hook. I've used this for decades and it's amazing bait. Chicken livers are fine, but even with the thread they don't stay on the hook as well as mackerel. FYI - been fishing AZ since I was 5yr old. Landed 30-50lbs catfish out of the upper salt. Mackerel or water dogs or just plain old worms.
  • Was Sup! Them Sticks and Logs can be tricky! Ay man you didn't loose your drink tho... I mean fish! Haha
  • @marioparra909
    Next time take yourself some 9 or 10 sized circle hooks, and use that baby carp as bait for some flatty’s 😉
  • I am a fellow Arizona fisher and you should definitely go to the Surprise lake and fish for trout or catfish. It has bass and tilapia as well. I also know a golf course pond spot and a neighborhood pond spot if your curious about those as well? Video ideas....
  • @p.c.7853
    Bro your videos are great keep it up always looking for the next one, be safe 👊🏼
  • awesome brother, i prefer dams and small streams compared to big lakes or oceans, it feels more cozy when its not too open
  • Nice country. Think I heard a cactus knock and a whoop in the background. You’re getting closer.😂😂
  • Thanks brother! I’ve been dying to get out to the verde and cf point but my trucks got a busted strut and tires are damn near bald. Saving money up for this summer man. Hope to see you out one day and shake hands. Keep fishing bro! Go here again in the summer you’ll see hundreds of baby carp along the shoreline and man are they fun to catch!

    Hi magician, if you are looking for some catfish, you should try with chicken's hearth, It works better than liver sometimes, greetings from Durango, México, ah, i really liked your videos
