Free-Lining Drift Fishing for Catfish Below Fort Loudoun Dam

Discover how to free-line drift for catfish using a single rod and reel with no weight, letting the Tennessee River current carry your fresh chicken bait below Fort Loudoun Dam. Filmed from my Excel Bay Pro 203 aluminum bay boat, this video showcases effective catfishing tips, even on a windy day with a bluebird sky. Watch me land a couple of fish and relearn a key lesson, while avoiding the turbulent lock water release near the dam. Perfect for anglers targeting blue catfish in the fall!
