In this video, I show you how to locate brush piles for crappie using side scan on the Humminbird Helix 7. It is very important to use all the tools that come with your fish finder, and side scan is probably the most important tool there is. I also show you how to read side imaging, and show what brush piles look like on side imaging. Then I show you how to go back over the brush pile with 2D sonar to throw a buoy out over the brush pile. Then we actually catch some crappie off of the pile I found in this video, I hope you enjoyed this video! Thanks for watching! God Bless!

This video is perfect, do you prefer a gold or a bronze 2/0 Aberdeen hook?

@TN.WoodsandWater 11 месяцев назад

I really enjoyed this video. Can you catch fish like this in the fall and winter months? I'm located in Middle TN

@903fishing 11 месяцев назад

Yes sir eagle claw Aberdeen 2/0

@903fishing 11 месяцев назад

Not as much. Our crappie go in the creeks in the winter, not all, but a lot

@SteadyFishingTV 8 месяцев назад

This is definitely my favorite video. When I first got started fishing for crappie I would simply pull up to a bridge or stump or visible structure and try to fish it because I was intimidated by open water. After watching this video I was able to locate and position my boat on open water crappie and put some slabs in the boat. Would recommend this video to anyone who is struggling to get off of visible structure and utilize your electronics to land fish.

@mossy9149 Год назад

This is my favorite video because it was like the 5th video I had watched trying to understand how to read my screen. This was the one that actually made it all click. Now I'm much more accurate when tossing my buoy out.

@richardbushey4134 Год назад

Super, super video. I would have missed that brush pile on side scan. My eyes tend to focus on mainly stuff that shows up in the dark section (water column directly under the boat)) only and miss the stuff further out to the sides....which, I know, is the whole point of side scan. 😁 Easy to understand video. It will help a lot of people.

@903fishing Год назад

Your side scan starts outside of the black. The black is directly under the boat; that’s what down scan is for. Thanks for watching! God bless

@carlgiese4503 8 месяцев назад

This is my favorite video because the vid shows me the exact steps to follow to catch crappie. I have the exact setup as you. I find myself really lacking in understanding my mega side imaging to locate brush piles but I spend most time on the water trying to figure out the Helix 7 images and what it is I’m looking at. The steps you show are a great way to help me. Thank you!

@MrSki-tyvm 6 месяцев назад

Not sure if you stay locally but Strm Thurmond is huge and I believe it would make for a new reservoir break dow3, locate and fish. We have huge crappies 14 and 16 inches are common anytime of year. Its just a pain locating them . Would love to see you pro tip it because its very different than most areas. I have used your tips like the Bible and they work great but locating brush piles is very time consuming. I always keep them saved and revisit throughout the year. Majority of the time these crappie are suspended and traveling zones. Hell, a zone video explanation would be awesome too.

It amazes me as to how many good crappie fisherman don’t use any electronics. Many just went straight to livescope. Livescope made me understand my other electronics better, because it forced me to believe what I was looking at. Great video. I just threw away about 10 broken acc rods.

@PROAMOUTDOORS Год назад

Good explanation of how to use your graph and buoy markers. I also like using the X Marks, the Spot with the buoys. Using 4 buoys. Put a marker in front of the brush pile, and then back. Then go from side to side crisscross when you each other, and you could find the dead center of the brush pile.

Great tips! So if your brush pile is 12 feet deep how many feet do you set your bobber to??

@903fishing Год назад

We’ll it depends. If the top of the brush pile comes up to 12 feet then I would set my slip cork anywhere from 11-12 feet. Or you can fish deeper on the sides of the pile. Thanks for watching! God bless
