Glad you are enjoying our videos and the key is to use a bobber which has a narrow profile - stay away form the old style round bobbers. Narrow profile bobbers are best and smaller are better, although your large one will still work :)

Just setting here in my hospital bed watching all of your videos to pass the time. I have decided that you guys are a big part of my enjoyment of fishing!!!! Just want you to know how much I enjoy getting your videos!!!! Have a great day.

Glad you enjoyed the video Dennis :) We were actually fishing at Lyons Creek, in Chippawa Ontario Canada

Thanks James - we really did have a great day on the water and hope you have many as well :)

Glad you enjoyed the video Cord...we did have a great day on the water and hope you have many as well :)

Glad you are enjoying our videos - when it comes to crappie, be sure to fish suspended and fish around cover, such as weeds, docks, timber, stumps etc... The Crappie like to feed "up" so your bait can not be below them :) Good luck - hope you start catching carppies as well, to go along with the bass and sunfish!

Hi Nate - great to hear from you and glad you are enjoying our videos :) With the minnow presentation, the important thing is to rig them up so they stay lively as long as possible - so the method you are using is a good one :)

Tried this method a week ago. Caught a bunch of crappie, a bass, a catfish, and a walleye. You guys have great videos. Keep up he good work. :)

That's great to hear :) Glad you are enjoying our videos and hope you have a fantastic time on the water!

So glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for taking time to write to us :) Hope you have an outstanding year on the water in 2013!

great to hear form you fudsclub12 and I certainly agree - fishing off a dock for crappies is a lot of fun :)

We certainly had a great day on the water catching some nice fish and it was nice to be able to share this with you - thanks for tuning in and for taking time to write :)

Glad you enjoyed the video - we sure did have a lot of fun that day :)

Crappies are absolutely delicious! They have a tender fillet and are almost "sweet" tasting. You'll love them :)

Glad you enjoyed this crappie episode and thanks for writing in:)

We are glad you are enjoying our videos and we would like to thank you for taking time to write and for tuning in!

Crappies love cover - they will suspend around weed beds, around fallen tress or timber, and they can also be found around docks (near the poles) Thanks for writing in and good luck on the water!

Hi Teddy - glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for taking time to write :)

Thanks for sharing your feedback with us and glad you enjoyed the video :)

Hi David - fish the white jig suspended and keep it moving. If you rig it 3 feet under a bobber, you can cast out, let it settle and then pull the bobber a foot toward you so that the jig swings towards you. Once the jig settles, pull a foot toward you again, and continue with this process - good luck!

Sounds like a great day on the water..... thanks for sharing and those are nice fish you caught!

Sorry to hear that - but great to hear from you in Oregon and thanks for tuning in :)

Glad you are enjoying our videos and thanks for the feedback - we'll have to keep that in mind for future episodes :)

You guys are wearing them out. Thanks for putting in the effort to video so we could enjoy with you.

Great to hear from you in OK Nathan and hope you have many great days on the water, fishing with you dad :)

Glad you are enjoying our videos and I also have a lot of fun when fishing with Antonio :) An other good bait to use for crappies besides minnows or cut bait is to use small artificial tube jigs (1 1/2 inch) give them a try and good luck to you :)

Nice to hear you enjoy a nice day on the water :)

Glad to hear you are enjoying our videos and thanks for for taking time to write to us to let us know and also, welcome to our family of subscribers! Hope you are having a great year on the water.

Crappies are a lot of fun to catch and they really are good eating :)

Thanks - glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for tuning in :)

Glad you enjoyed the crappie video and we did some research and found out that you do in fact have black crappies in the clinton river. Look for any areas in the river that have any kind of timber, poles, docks etc as the crappie will suspend in those areas. Good luck - hope you catch plenty!

Glad you enjoyed the video. you can launch your boat at the boat ramp in Chippawa, located at the corner of Lyons creek road and Sodom road. This is the Welland river but just a short distance away is where Lyons creek joins the river. If you take a satellite view on Google maps you will easily see this. You can go up the creek and fish anywhere around the smaller road bridges and you will do well :)

Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for writing in :)

Glad you enjoyed the video and hope you are able to get out on the water soon!

Great to hear form you in Florida! Crappies are just fun to catch and are also very tasty :)

Good fishing to you as well and thanks for writing in with this information :)

Crappie fishing is great in the spring in MN and high water levels are good and in the spring, the crappie will seek out warm water, so sunny days are best :)

Hey all of their videos are invaluable, they're making these videos great, so don't hate

Thanks for taking time to write to us and good luck on the water :)

Glad you enjoyed the video and good luck on the water!

Thanks Mike - we really did have a great day :)

Sounds like we'll have to make a trip to Illinois for some huge crappies :) Great to hear from you and thanks for writing in!

you have the best channel period itried your carp tips first time i ever tried for carp and caught a 17lb carp

Thanks for helping out and responding :) Using ultra light tackle really is a lot of fun!

Glad you enjoyed this crappie episode Josh :)

Lots of fun & great eating for sure. Good fishing!

As we are not from the area, the best thing to do is to visit a local tackle shop. They can answer all or your questions & you won't be wasting time trying to find out things on your own. In your area, there is also good salt water fishing. Thanks & good luck!

Glad you enjoyed the video - we were using light wire, Eagle Claw, "Aberdeen" long shanked hooks, size 4. Thanks for taking time to write and until next time, good luck and good fishing!

Glad you enjoyed the video and hope you have an outstanding trip to the Navasota :)

Nice job with the 4 lb test line and the 10 lb carp - well done!

We split them up amongst the 3 of us and were all able to enjoy a nice fish and chips dinner :)

Hi Sam - the bobber is called the Rocket Bobber - it works great and can be found at Bass Pro or Cabela's. Thanks for tuning in :)

Congrats on winning the grand prize! That's an awesome bass.......nice fish! Thanks for sharing and hope you have many more great days on the water!

Love Minnesotans and their accents. Good job fellas!

Glad you enjoyed the video Todd and sounds like you are having a great year on the water and it's only spring - we have plenty more fishing ahead of us :)

Going crappie fishin' later today with my 2 yr old son. Man, this video got me excited! Great video as always! Thanks for sharing!

We use a variety of brands from Eagle Claw to Mustad to VMC - they are all very good quality hooks. Owner hooks are also very good.

looks fun, nothing beat fishing with good friends and catching nice size fish

Glad you had a good day on the water with the white beetle lure :)

Glad to hear you got into some crappies :) They make for a great fish fry and the easiest way to transport them home is to put them in a cooler on ice. Hope you continue t have great days on the water and we are always very happy to help :)

For your best chance to catch crappie, fish for them in early spring. Use a live minnow & a float. Find warmer calm bays with no current. Cast close to shore as they will be looking for nesting areas. Sometimes boat slips are good areas as well. Once you locate fish, you can try to fish for them throughout the summer (near the same spring time area) - look for weed beds, poles or brush which may hold fish. Thanks & good luck!
