Learn From A Professional Catfish Guide!

My name is Chad Ferguson and I’m a professional catfish guide based in Texas.

Drift fishing is one of the many techniques I use as a pro guide to locate and catch catfish at different times of the year, and it works well for me not only for producing excellent numbers of one to ten pound blue catfish but also trophy class blue catfish as well.

Years ago I didn’t have the extensive experience I have now. After over fifteen years as a fishing guide and countless years fishing for catfish exclusively prior to that I have really “honed” my skills in many areas.

I spent a lot of time way back then “drifting”.

I often fished in the wrong locations, used the wrong rigs, and had the problem I call the “kiss of death” for drifting, because it’s a deal killer and will cause you to not catch fish, ever.

We always caught fish back then, but I was doing it all wrong and made a lot of mistakes. I could have caught much more fish and my fishing time could have been much more enjoyable.

Fast forward to today and things are much different.

After 15+ years experience as a professional catfish guide I’ve spent a tremendous amount of time on the water using a variety of techniques for catching catfish and I’ve learned a lot along the way. Drift fishing is one of the techniques I’ve perfected. I have it down to a science and it works!

The techniques I use for drift fishing now are totally different than the techniques I used way back when, and my success has changed as well because I have learned exactly what to do when it comes to drift fishing for catfish.

Success Catching Catfish Is SIMPLE With The Right Teacher!

Rather than waste countless days on end on the water making mistakes and learning through trial and error like I did you can get on the “fast track” to catfishing success and learn everything you need to know about drift fishing for catfish, learning from my experience.

Why Drift Fishing For Catfish?

I put together the Drift Fishing Techniques program for a few reasons.

First, this is one of the techniques I get the most phone calls about from people wanting “teaching trips” with me as a guide. They want to book fishing trips with me and learn all of the details about how, when and where to drift fish for catfish.

Second, when people are on my guide boat and they see me set up for drift fishing, they are often amazed at not only how I go about fishing this way but also how well it works. The “details” that make drifting so easy and effective are often what “blows them away”. When they get to see first hand exactly what I am doing and why, it takes things to a whole new level because they get to see all the “little things” that make these techniques work.

Customer Testimonial
I purchased your Drift Fishing Ebook a couple weeks back, and on our first drift ever hooked into these 2 plus a few fryers!  The only thing that slowed us down was we ran out of fresh shad, and they wouldn’t touch anything else.  I guess the Catching Shad book is going to have be my next purchase. Thanks for the help! …. Vance Broussard
