In this video we look at a more traditional way to catch crappie. Anyone can do it , and it is a tried and true method. I'm talking about the slip bobber rig! Hope you enjoy and thanks for watching!
Brandon when I hook up a minnow I like to open the mouth and go through the roof between the nostrils. This allows the minnow to take in water with an open mouth and increases the life and action. Try it some time. I live in Muscle Shoals 3 minutes from Wilson Dam. I would love to crappie fish with you some time. Great channel and awesome videos. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome video Brandon, I'm about the same way, I'll go out of my way and check out the wildlife, man you've got to enjoy what God has put on this Earth, Thanks for sharing brother
Right on man. i get great info on creating my own content when i watch your videos. a great inspiration. i know it takes hours and hours sometimes days to put these together and edit. I appreciate the effort and dedication.
We used to be able to fill up a 5 gallin bucket of blue gill every once in a while at my granpas pond but we had a creek bed start holding water and that's how we got the fastest otters in Mississippi and no more fish
Know some guys that run a private lake/lodge over in western Alabama. They started finding giant dead bass carcasses around the lake I’m talking 7+ pound bass and come to find out it was otters that had moved in. They can be bad news for sure. Thanks for watching!
This was a very nice video! I have a question I could not find on RU-vid. So when you tie your leader line with the fluorocarbon line, what type of knot do you use to the swivel. I use the double line uni knot to the hook so i won't break off. Should I tie that same knot to the swivel? What is your opinion. I have broken off using the palomar knot to the hook using the fluorocarbon line.
No LS here still going on what I know live imaging is nice but im affraid it will spoil me lol I still love all the old school ways of catching crappie .. anyway good vid man 👍
We all neglect this Tried And True Method All to often for catching A Good Crappy Dinner, Jigs Are just easier than keeping Minnows alive, The one time I really like Minnows is night fishing with the Green lights, once you get Them turned on and biting you can switch Up And Use A jig some too,,,
I would like to see a tutorial on how you got that hook out, I get a lot of fish that swallow my hook under 10 inches an I would like to learn how to get it out without pulling out there guts.
What happened to the video posted an hour ago on Saturday morning regarding the lure to use when the crappie won't bite? Hope it comes back up. Thanks.
Advice? Starting to crappie fish a bit. Went today lake down 16 feet. All the brush piles I know are out of water. Most docks are on land as well. What other structure can I target?
Lot of variables come into play here. What part of the country are you in? Water temp? Water clarity? Does your lake have any standing timber or brides? That might be a good place to check. Rock ledges will also hold crappie this time of year if there’s not much wood structure in a lake.
@@BrandonLesterFishing Thanks. Kentucky. 60 water temp. Slightly stained water. I tried a little standing timber and did drop the scope on a bridge and did not see any. I will keep at it. Mostly tournament bass fish, but would enjoy fillin the freezer from time to time. Need to devote time to electronics and find some cover and structure. I caught two today off lay downs in 2 feet or less. Only one crappie per target is kinda odd.
@@coleallen8557 it is pretty odd. I would idle around in that timber until I found a good school of them. They will school up really good from now going on into winter. Good luck!
Yea I would love to see a video on that more perticularly on bank fishing wise when most of the cover is above water levels how do u find crappies other than bridges? If there accessible if ur only on land
I don't get why you don't like otters for the fish population, it's good to have some predators that like to eat Baitfish, it keeps the Baitfish bigger since all the small ones usually get eaten. There was a Lake where they did an experiment with flatheads to see if they'd eat all the Baitfish, and all that happened was the Baitfish got bigger as a result, it's good to have a healthy amount of predators in your local waters, otherwise it will get overrun by Baitfish since they reproduce so much, which is another reason predators don't really make a dent in the Baitfish population.
I somewhat agree with what your saying but otters don’t typically target baitfish, they eat big fish. I know of otters eating 7-10lb bass in a private lake. In large lakes they are not as bad, but in a small body of water they can be detrimental. Thanks for watching!
@@BrandonLesterFishing that has to be a once in a while thing for a little otter to eat a trophy bass like that. I would think alligators are worse those things can eat a Giant Blue Catfish. Cottonmouths can be pretty bad too I had one try to take my crappie one time LoL, I could see a six foot Water Moccasin eating a trophy size bass since the one that tried to steal my crappie was only like 2 feet long, plus otters are adorable unlike the other 2 predators I mentioned.
