Crappie Won't Bite? MAKE THEM BITE With These Crappie Fishing Hacks! 

Those big-name fishermen on TV don't have nothing on you! The difference is they are too sophisticated to go crazy at the end of their show! HA! HA!. I have learned a lot more from you. With the TV guys, you just watch them catch fish. With you, you explain how to catch fish. Keep up the great content.

I do the same thing. That made in the US of A gets me every time.

Honey come quick! Richard Gene the Fishing Machine posted!

You remind me so much of my grandfather. He’s still living and we go fishing when I go to Mississippi. Just wanted you to know you’re a blessing to many fisherman including myself. Keep the faith brother and keep setting those hooks !!

Richard I have based my tackle box on watching your video's. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! God Bless you and your family!

Bill Dance and Richard Gene. Two of the best

I met the owner of ATX Lure Co a few years ago at the East TN Fishing Expo (RIchard you should go, it's fun). Real down to earth guy and has a passion for fishing.

Richard because of the knowledge you have given us I have been catching Crappie when everyone else up here is having trouble on Norris Lake in Tennessee. Now I was gonna mention to you a rod and reel that I have as my go to. My main Spinning reel is a 2500 Lews Mach 1 and a Lews 7ft Light Mach 1. It’s a little on the limber side but I like it. And that person that went by you in that big boat has zero respect on the water. And Richard God Bless you and the family. And like I always say. God loves you and so do I.

Keep the Mrs. happy and you can’t go wrong!!

Thank you for your time and Info. Keep a tight line, have a Blessed day and don't forget to Enjoy Life. From Bridgeport Connecticut

I watch all your videos Richard!! And I bought the ATX flat tail baits, worth every penny!!! Thank you Richard for the videos you put out

Richard, thanks for doing what you do. You are a good man. I mainly fish live bait but I'm going to embrace the "woo" and go catch a sow cow!

I love your boat sir. Clean plain but functional

I think I could watch you whittle on a stick and tell fishing tips/stories all day. Keep on keeping on!!

You are the machine.!! Can you please show us how you fillet your crappie. Love you man.

Hello, Richard . Another nice fishing trip. But, even if they're not biting, still a good day. I'm always glad when your videos pop up. First i hit the like button, then read your scripture, then sit back and watch a good fishin video. I truly hope that you know how much your videos mean to those of us that follow you. Alwaysva good show, lots of tips and shared knowledge. Been waiting for Mama Sue to get out there again. Forgive me, but everytime I think of her on your show, i think of ya'lls creek fishing trip where she fell down in the water. Again, forgive me, but i laughed then and everytime since when i think about it. I hope i was laughing with her, not at her. She handled it well, but I'm sure she was not a happy fisherwoman about then. Please give her a big hug and tell her she does haveca fan base out here as well. God bless yall and stay safe on your travels to these fishing adventures. I pray ya'll will have a great Thanksgiving.

You are in my old stompin' grounds now. I skipped, what seems like about half of my junior and senior years high school, fishing all in that area, before and after they built all of that behind you. Thanks for the memories.

Thanks so much for all your teaching Richard!! You videos have helped this old man a bunch!!

Finally getting your notifications 🎉 love to watch your show,

Another great lesson. Thank you and a great new year 🎉to you.

Beautiful day for fishing 🎣 it looked like 👍 😀 thank you very kindly for all that you do Richard!!!

Thanks Fishin machine, good series !!! :)

Another great video from the man. God bless.

You remind me so much of my uncle. He used to take me to bull schoals every year for the crappie spawn. I wouldn't be a fisherman if it were not for his presence in my young life. Would give anything to fish with him again, if only for a day.

Thank God for you RGTFM you prove that you dont need expensive rods & reel just to put fish in the boat. Your setups are always so simple but your knowledge is second to none in my opinion making crappie bite even when they not active most fisherman would have called it a bad day but not you never a bad day fishing you just need the knowledge & simple tackle to catch fish. God Bless You Richard & thanks for teaching.

Great video and great advice, keep on keeping on and God bless you and your family!

Thank you for the great show brother

Mono much better for panfishing .. braid handles better with less tangles and better feel, but way to stiff ( no give) .The fish you caught were barely hooked because when you set the hook there was no give….with mono the built in stretch allows the Crappie to take the bait better when you set the hook….another disadvantage with braid is that it is much louder underwater. Go back and fish that same area with your 4lb. High vis mono and same baits, and note the difference. Thanks for all the years of fantastic and fun videos. Rob

Richard don’t need no fancy electronics; he calls em to the boat!

ATX Lure Company is where it’s at!

You the MAN ! You’re are one of the best in my opinion!😄

Love your videos learn a lot from you thank you

Mr. Richard I really enjoy your videos. You are someone a man would fish with…

Love it! Enjoy your Thanksgiving!

Richard!!!! Looking to buy a shirt, but…… where’s the adrenjalen shirt!!! We the people need it!

Thank you Richard for another great video with great tips,you are the best! God;s blessings always! 😇

Good as always Richard

That was a very knowledgeable toutourledge, I'm trying to get all I can for this Columbus Ohio Winter. I saw a man catch Crappie over and over. And I was just casting and casting, he came over and spoke to me when he was leaving. He asked me two questions, how deep was I, and how far out was I? I told him, and he told me to adjust both, less than a minute, I had one hooked. I'm not a smart fisherman, I just "LOVE," fishing, and I Thank You, for being simple, and to the point. Also, for the bank fishing videos, not all of us are blessed to have "any," type of boat💯👍🏾. Thank You.

I love this man

Thanks for more great content

I love your videos Mean Gene... I get to learn a little, and laugh a lot...!! Lol. I just watched a video of u fishing with Lojo, thats great how you schooled him a little out there.. LOVE your content, im off to watch some more... THANKS !!

You da man, Richard! I love tuning in every chance I get. Been tuned in for 4 years now. Keep it up. Ted Marshall Sanford, Florida

Thank you for another good video.

Wooo Richard catch em friend.😊

I'm SO glad to see you paying attention to things made in the USA.....I've been doing the same thing for the last 6 years and I wish I had started way earlier. If MOST people in the USA would buy things made in the USA we'd be in much better shape, even if it costs a little more, ethically it's the right thing to do when it comes to helping our own people in the country because we can't compete with sweat shops overseas which is the ONLY reason why things are cheaper from other countries. we should ALWAYS support companies in our own country regardless if it costs a little more!

Great video Richard GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY RICHARD and thank the Lord for Richard to help us catch more fish 🐟 thanks again Richard

THANKS!

Love the videos

@ 9:43.....1 to 1.5 feet shin to knee high...... glassy and clean......off shore..... windswell..... 2 second intervals......conditions.

Good morning Sir Richard Thank you so much all time 😂😂😂 God bless you and your family 🙏🙏🙏

The lake is very low at lake Eufaula due to the lack of rain. We caught a pretty good mess of crappie at night fishing with a green light at a deep water dock. Caught a few stripes too. Fishing with minnows. I’ve never had much luck with jigs. I know some people who has

Wooooo! Google has no clue! Translate to English my foot. Tks Richard, I needed this on this Friday evening.

u gotta love this guy 💪🏽🫡🎣🔥

Nice box of fish, Richard! You sure can make a jig sing! God bless ALL of us! WWG1WGA

GREAT CATCH

Looks like you had a pretty good day, Richard. Buddy you sure are a better man than I am I don’t do spiders. If I think would’ve been old me, I would’ve forgot about rod reel fishing. Lord have mercy it’s been awful seen lol but you handled it pretty well anyway but you keep catching them keep filling them and we will keep watching them. Tell Mama Sue she missed a pretty good day ..Take care of my friend.

First!! Haha! Don't take much to get me to a RGTFM video! Thank you for all the great tips and tricks and taking us all along with ya!

Thanks Richard. I wouldn't use 10lb test last year and now you got me using 2lb test line. Hey. I'm catching more fish now😊

Egggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggslent video. Thanx for sharing. You Rock!

nice love to watch always Richard woooooooo

I just bought some of those jig bodies from ATX Lures. Thanks for the tip.

God bless you Richard🙏🏾🙏🏾

Wow that spot is bad ass

Muy bien 👍

You’re the best

Fish slime Dr Pepper brings back some great memories bass fishing with my dad.

Like to see a catch and cook. Great content

Wooo

Nice

Id head back to that bridge where you caught the last monsters.

All our brushpiles have perch on them now. Need to try some rip rap though as water gets colder

💜🎣

I mean whooooooo 👍😎

Nice crappie

Woooo hoooo

Richard Gene, is there a spot along the Ocossa River that's good fall fishing? It's just been a while since you have videoed from there. Thanks for today.

richard do u find the crappie bite to typically very tough on foggy mornings or days? its the same in my area, scattered, finnicky fish,, when the water temp gets in the low 50s they should start concentrating deeper with the shad, or go very shallow in creeks.

Richard love your videos helps us a lot like to invite you and your family down to Atmore Alabama for the Poarch Creek Indian pow wow thanksgiving day and day after from LA lower Alabama

Question: Are the bodies bigger on the ATX , than the slab tail jigs by fish stalker

Does the water get cold enough to where they quit biting plastics and you gotta switch to live bait like spikes or something like that?

Great video their Richard unfortunately I cannot keep up with your gear and your tackle and your baits looks like I'm a minnow and cork boy😂😂😂

Wooooooo

Richard do Black Crappie tolerate cold water more than White's or do they both react the same to the given temp on top whatever it may be at the time? Guess what I'm wanting to know if they both get in skinny water or out wide about the same in relation to temp on top. Hey Man thanks for everything you do in order to give us all a very informative in-depth fishing channel to come too and enjoy. And I'll just tell ya your name and the knowledge you share will be around here on this earth long after you've gone Home. There's no doubt your an inspiration to many young man!!! Take Elmo fishing when ya can will ya!!!! God Bless you and Family Richard!!! Thanks.

Where do you get them sow belly rods from?

Enjoy the video God Bless

👍👍

🩵🙏🩵...Go fishin🦋

Will you be my buddy? Love your show. Thank you so much.

Richard: your dad he best!

Yummy.

Flat tail it's actually called a ribbon tail 👍 wooooooooo! Ain't nothing like it !!

Where is that area located

Noooo, Thank You❤

You need to explain the difference between black and white crappie

We call striped headed crappie Mohawk crappie

Looks like fish for dinner.

Put your Dr. Peppers in a jumbo size ziplock bag to keep the slime off of them.

We need Biblical rain right now.

The net stinks like dog gone crappie!!!
