    Default Fish Thumper


    I have a friend who has had some success with striped bass and catfish using a fish thumper. Apparently this imitates the sounds made by a school of fish feeding and triggers a bite. Has anyone had success with crappie using a thumper?

    Look up Skunked Again on YouTube. Buddy of mine Tim Pham has videos and how to make them, etc. He is an expert on drumming up white bass and stripers. Trying to tune it for crappie with limited success. He has the VIRUS and is home trying to get over it. Works for an international IT firm. He is young and strong and we all hope he pulls through soon.

    I watched a youtube video where one was being used. Don't know about the fish but the sound certainly irritated me. Don't see how anybody could stand having one in a boat. But then I'm an old grouch who doesn't even like loud music from other boats disturbing me when I'm fishing.

    Sorry to hear this. I've been told this is a miserable illness, worse than the flu by a HUGE factor. (By miserable illness I mean in the way it makes you feel, not talking about how serious an illness it is compared to the flu.)

    maybe I should clarify , I been on a boat with a hydrowave and it for sure didn't seem to make any difference .
    but I got a pro striper guide buddy who has a big ole broken deep sea rod he BEATS the fire out of the water with and it sure enough seems to make them big dumb striped fish bite well
