Fishing a new lake for some spring crappie action! It's tough to beat a slip bobber setup when those fish are starting to move shallow. This footage is from May 2013. We're currently still waiting for the ice to clear off the lakes, but it's looking like we'll have a much earlier spring this year!

If it's a natural creek, on a natural lake, you're right. If that's a man made reservoir, with man made ditches, you won't have a leg to stand on. Those are "private canals".

I think one of the things I like the best about your videos is your "on the basic simple side" kayak. No motor, not a ton of electronics. In my opinion too many kaya fishing channels aren't fishing out of kayaks that are assessible to the average angler. Thank you for sticking to the basics and slaying the fish.

Lets just eeeeaaasse back into fishing with Matt for another season! Thanks for being there for us old, near used-up codgers, sir! You really keep us going! Nothing like a nice mess of crappies for a great early spring supper - I'd be keeping and cleaning them for that! Keep on keeping on!

You produce good content without click bait, without the over hype bs, you don't spam us with "message from our sponsor" junk, but still allow yourself to get an income by simply letting us find that info in the description or a quick unobtrusive message. You are doing it right!

Absolutely right move trying to get in back bay. People think they own everything. Lake nearby me they put a chain across an inlet to stop folks, and it's like 20 feet wide and 6 feet deep!

@ndyakangler 2 месяца назад

Yeah if I can float my kayak through there it’s legal access and I doubt the DNR would be happy about that gate being there. We have low water levels at a lot of places the last few years but a good wet season I’ll be paddling right past that sign.

@greeneyesfromohio4103 2 месяца назад

I wish I had smaller lakes/ponds that were safe to eat fish out of that warm up much quicker then the huge lakes I fish…..the spring crappie bite for me doesn’t go into full gear until 2-3 weeks of 65+ degree weather. Usually not until may. This lake is a gem!

It’s tough to beat a small jig and plastic combo under a slip bobber for spring crappie! I’ve caught them on a variety of different jigs and plastics. I’ll usually browse the ice fishing section before the stores but that stuff away because a lot of that ice fishing panfish gear is great for spring fishing!

@IvanIvanov-vp3nk 2 месяца назад

In Bulgaria the main game fish is perch. I have noticed that perch and crappies act alike - they stack together and move in schools. Back here we have noticed that when you find the perch and you catch one of them an you release it the rest of the school goes after the one that darted away after bein released. That's why we put the perch we catch in a floating net until we catch the whole school. We release all of them afterwards. Hope this makes sense and applies to your scenario, although crappies are a lot bigger than perch.

@ndyakangler 2 месяца назад

I still have the Hobie, it’s just a lot of extra gear I have to lug around and a kayak I have to handle a lot more delicately. If I’m fishing a lake less than a mile across I spend more extra time at the launch getting the Hobie rigged up vs the Tarpon than I’d save by pedaling vs paddling. I planned on stopping at a lake I had to cart in but there were a few people there already. If I have to bring the cart I don’t have room for the pedal drive. Most of the time keeping it simple is my best route.

@ndyakangler 2 месяца назад

I’m hitting one of my little crappie ponds as soon as the ice comes off! I checked a few days ago and there was still ice, but it’s a muddy water little lake so it warms up quick and usually within a day or two of it opening up the crappie are up shallow.

@@ndyakangler Thanks for the info. I only ice fished for them when I lived in NH. When I was a kid in NY, my dad took me to a cove where we could get a bucket of them. I had to guess that it was pre-spawn because they weren't on beds. I remember it was after catching walleyes off the bridges, cause that was always freezing.
