I Enjoyed this video so much I had to Sub ! Found your channel looking for catch n cook, also love the way you translate for your community. Thanks for taking us along 😍🎣👍
Hey sweet video again! Sorry that the Crappies are not quite as good. The few spots we use for Sunfish are doing badly also. So tomorrow think we may try for Trout at Lake Camanche. Hope for a Lightning Trout there.... Still glad to see you did catch some nice ones. Me and Lea need to use Jigs more. When Sunfishing mostly we use live worms
@@fishingaddict5638 Wondering... you said stay with Live Worms for Sunfishing. But I've seen maybe 15 of your videos and you seem to use Jigs. But you are fishing for Crappie, and we're trying for Bluegill & Red Ear... so you still think worms are best? We normally use Red Worms, Meal Worms & Nightcrawlers. Lake Camanche failed us again :(
Hey I really enjoy your videos! I fish for black crappie quite a bit down here in SoCal myself. The crappie in my home lakes never stay in one spot and are always moving around in schools so its kind of hard to just spot lock and fish for them. I have to snipe them and follow them around with my livescope. Do the crappie in your area do the same? or are they staying in one piece of structure out there? Any tips for moving crappie? Thanks!
We are doing the same thing you are. Unfortunately the lakes in CA have no structure and is usually deep. So like you said they school up in deep water and move around a lot, so you just have to follow them around.
@@fishingaddict5638 Awesome thats what I expected. Really like your content and i hope I can make my wake up north one of these days to get some trophy slabs!
I guess you didn’t see it on the video, but we did show it. We used Notorious Custom Jigs in a 2” paddle tail. We’re fishing on 50 to 60 feet water. We have a 2014 Crestliner Kodiak 18 feet.
Congrats on the new live scope. Some might argue that you have crossed over to the “dark side” but I’m in the camp of those who believe in “shining light on the subject.” Another popular phrase that comes to mind is, “I once was blind but now I can see.” Your subscribers know crappie is your #1targeted species, so it makes a world of sense to go “live.” Who performed your install work and what kind of learning curve did you experience first time on the water with your new toy? Are you happy with the screen placement on dashboard versus a bow mount? My boat is similar to yours and I’m guessing I’d opt for the dashboard mount too. What percentage of your searching for crappie this trip was done using side imaging versus live scope? I noticed your down riggers on board...did you try for landlocked king salmon? Lastly, it’s ironic you mentioned that Mrs, Addict worked the night before your outing and went to work the night after too. At that rate, the expense of your new toy will be a non issue in no time.😎 Again, big congrats! Looking forward to seeing live scope tutorials like the priceless side imaging lessons you’ve offered your growing number of subscribers.
I did the install myself. The settings I used was almost out of the box. I made a little adjustment to the gain and that was it. Of course the distant and depth is a given where you fished. This was the first time on the water with livescope. I put it on the dashboard because I mostly fish with my wife in the back anyways so it just made more sense. I only use the garmin for livescope and did not install the transducer for the side and down imaging. I use the humminbird for side imaging. We still found the crappies using the side imaging and kept on them with the livescope. Since we found the crappies we didn’t try for the salmon. We cooked one up and called it a day because my wife worked that evening. I’m glad we got it and it worked just as expected.
@@fishingaddict5638 Thanks for the detailed reply! Congrats on the DIY install...wish my boat maintenance skill level was on par with yours...sadly it falls way short.😎 Until I hit the lottery, side imaging will have to suffice for me. Thanks to your teachings, I’m getting much better using it and understanding what I see. Can you share the characteristics of the schools (crappie and shad) you saw at Berryessa, i.e., size, mobility, depth, etc.? Thanks again my friend!
@@aProudOG You're very welcome. I'll try next time. Was still getting the feel of it this time. However, we didn't see any baits, but just that one small school that we were on.
Once again, awesome video! Congratulations on the Livescope! . You won’t regret it. Less time searching and more time catching. I don’t think I can fish the same without one!
Thank you. Yes, this Livescope is a game changer from when we're just using side imaging which we caught lots of fish already. I always lose them when they're on the move, but with the Livescope, I was able to keep onto them.
Look like y'all had a very peaceful fishing day and the slabs were very cooperative..... Nice catches and that area y'all picked for lunch was very nice..... Nice work Chef, looked tasty and HOT..... By the way I'll be going live tech soon also..... Which has unit did you get?
Initially I bought the Humminbird Helix 12. The display/clarity was not as good as the Helix 9 that I have. So I returned the new helix 12 and I got the 93SV UHD and luckily Basspro had a sale on it at that moment. Which unit are you getting?
I got the 9” and it works perfectly fine. I think the 10” should work for you also unless you just want that 12”. Don’t forget you still have that $1500 transducer too.
@@fishingaddict5638 I don't think they make a 9 in the 86 series..... The 86 series is the one with maps, 2D, DI & SI and don't require that black box for LS....... It's all really expensive and yes that $1500 for that transducer is crazy.......
You guys are the Crappie King & Queen!! Hey, could you please give me some tips to find the Crappie there? I'm taking my 6 yr old & 12 yr old daughters finshing at Berryessa this coming week. Would love to be able to find some Crappie and let them experience it. Thanks in advance!
Hi again, sorry, just to clarify, I'm not asking for your specific spots but just general advice on what I should be looking for to locate these Crappie since you guys do pretty good. Thanks!
Lol! Not quite the Crappie King & Queen. For crappie, they're still in deep water about 50 to 60 ft of waters. I recommend you go do the salmon where everyone's catching in the north end of the lake. Have fun with the kiddos out there. Stay safe. Thank you for watching
@@fishingaddict5638 I just saw the end of your video where you said you're Mien. I've lived and worked in N Thailand for many years. Been to many places in Laos/VN and China too. Know many Mien. Where do you live in N Ca?
Crappies are still in the deeper part of the waters. They always move, so they won't be on the same spot all the times. Just keep searching with your fish finder. Thank you for watching.
With all the salmon being caught you need to go now. LOL. About the map, I bought a helix 12 3 months ago and returned it two weeks ago. But I forgot to take my navionics and zero lines card out of it. And everything was stored in it, all my way points, notes and tracks. So the map on my helix 9 is blank. 😢😢
@@allankawafuchi8504 I really don't know what that noise either. It could be the pole that I've installed the Livescope with that's to the side of the boat. Maybe the the pole is hitting the side of the boat with some moving waves.
Can you send a wake point on your location, am going there on Wednesday , I need help finding this fish, I limited on trout but not able to find crappie

We don't completely forget about our culture though. Have to keep the culture alive by still practicing a little here and there.
