Float n Fly + Crappie Nibbles = Easy Fishing for Cold Water Panfish
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ก.ย. 2024
- Since I was successful fishing with the Float n Fly, I thought why not add some crappie nibbles? This is an easy way for beginners or kids to get some nice panfish in the colder season. When the water gets cold, the fish tend to school up and panfish are easy to target. A simple rig made from a bobber, a weight, and a fly (with a crppie nibble) is all you need to get in on the action. The hassle and mess of live bait can be avoided with this easy setup. Try a float and fly tipped with crappie nibbles next time you are out fishing for panfish, its almost too easy.

I was 5th comment, but by time this is posted will be after the video is done as im watching all the way to the very bitter cold end. Ill be #? . Great video as its cold and you was on the fish. Makes me want to go fishing on my day off sunday instead of going deer hunting.
P.s. welcome back after i forgot to Like the video.
If you do choose to go fishing, i hope you get on em!
@@FatBoyDan you should just like right away like I do
@@nicholaspouliotoutdoors384 was busy and then work in the am. Yet tomorrow i gotbit off. But then its 2nd daybof muzzle loader season. Think id have a better shot at catching fish before i would deer.
Me too
Nice vid, Alex. You have once again demonstrated that you are a realistic angler. One of the telltale signs is that when we say "Last cast." Or "Last fish." We never ever mean it - the first time. That is realistic.👍
One more fish.... ok one more... 😉
Best fishermen lies ever told:
1.Just one more .
2. One more cast and im packin up.
😂😂😂😂
just one more 😂
“It’s like 38 degrees....let’s just do this before I freeze.” Alex is a rapper now!
WORD!
He was channeling Bro Manson, shit was LIT yo.
Getting the fishing fix. That’s what it’s all about brother! Tight lines.
Gotta do it
They work pretty well but it does suck having to put them back on so often. Now you are a true fisherman braving the cold to get your fishing fix 😆 👊 👍.
I love my fishing 👊
I love getting stoned and seeing you have a new video out! Having a hard time here in cali, fish dont wanna bite
😂
Heading to the upper Mississippi....small mouth, walleye and river monsters.....wish us luck....
Good luck!
Gotta love the crappie nibbles! I use them on the Tenkara fly rod with a #12 or #14 dry hook just by themselves. They don’t last as long on the hook but the pannies love them.
14, now thats small
Bro, you’re videos are great! You get me hyped to go fishing in this cold weather when I really don’t want to leave my house.
Good luck out there!
Calling ‘Last Cast’ multiple times before really stopping for the day is definitely realistic!
Sure is!
I cut off the fingers of some old work gloves to wear winter fishing. You'd be surprised how much it helps. Tight lines
Doesnt the water run down the fingers and make the gloves wet?
@@RealisticFishing Eh it doesn't seem to be an issue for me so far. I would imagine the material of the gloves matters a bit. To me it's worth having my hands a bit warmer while i stand there. Sometimes I'll just use my teeth to take one off if I really need to get my hands wet. I find that I don't need to that often. Maybe experiment with different gloves? Even if you have to spend a little, I feel like it's worth the investment in the comfort. Good luck!
I’ll have to try the crappie nibbles for sure
One of those easy go anywhere baits for sure
Enjoyed watching another one of your videos over lunch,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, thumbs up1
Thanks Mark!
Nice fun session! Good times!!
Thanks Miguel
Haha “one more,” always turns into 20 more casts at least. Nice fish boss!
just one more... ok one more.. for real this time.
One more.. Last one.. Ok one more. Awesome. That frozen hand feeling sucks haha
Ok, just one more
Looks like I need to give this technique a try
Good luck!
panfishing can be so much fun take a kid fishing he or she will love it and maybe a grownup to that's realistic luv your videos dude
Thats how I got started 👍
thx for the idea I'm gonna try in a couple of hours I'll let you know how it does
Out here watching all your vids from December in TN so I can fish in 34 degree weather in NY lol. Going to try this rig when I'm out next week. I always learn something new from your videos! Thank you!
Good luck!
Really just one more.... now that is realistic fishing.
Those crappie nibbles remind me of Uncle Steve, because he used them in his fishing vids with success. And i believe it was one of his go to baits.
I miss Uncle Steve
Another great video Alex. Get well and stay warm. 👍
I'll try. I have a cold 🤒
I use to use that float and fly technique in Alaska. Watching everybody catch trout with fly fishing gear. Someone gave me a fly and my poor ass thought 💭 hey tie a bobber on an make it happen. It’s way better than all that back and forth casting never tipped them though. Nice video Alex.
Its sure it, just twitch it a little and BAM!
The panfish master! Good job Alex!
Thanks Dewey!
I'll only fish when it's spring again so I double appreciate your videos!! Beautiful fish! Keep it up!!
I hope I can fish through the entire winter
@@RealisticFishing I want to witness that
Your videos are always cool from the bank fishing, I use my Jon every now and then but bank is my favorite hitting two or three spots a trip. Thanks man keep them coming.
Same here, I like bank fishing better. I want to use the boat more, its that prep and clean up time that sucks.
Love how you keep grinding. It's the only way. I will spend all day until I catch one lol So happy for the few I get. Trust me, I watch people go home zeroed out everyday. Why not keep pushing? Just more fish for me.
Just one more! 👍
I’ve noticed a difference when using the nibbles and not using them. I try to keep some with me at all times now!
Do you catch more?
Looks like those little fish eat Crappie Nibbles like Tic Tacs.
For that fresh breath
Love this method
It really works well
You've found the secret sauce for them blue gills. Awesome job bro. 🎣😎🎣😎🎣😎🎣
Thanks Felix
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for getting out there and getting cold for us. 😉
The show must go on 👍
Great video Alex I went out this morning it was 7 degrees but the crappie were on fire
Nice! I hope to get a few this winter
I hope the fish keep biting for you so you can keep the videos coming
I use the Chroma-glo nibbles even with bass at times. Just put them over the barb on single hook stuff like BeetleSpins, Texas Rigs, and seem to help on Wacky Rigs on some of the slower days.
Chroma-Glo? I will have to go look that up
@@RealisticFishing yeah, they are still Berkley Crappie Nibbles but have almost like a glow color for visibility as they slowly dissolve. Same type of container just a little taller, or the ones I get at Wal-Mart here are anyway. Chartreuse is the ones I've been using but they have two or three others in the Chroma-glo line. No matter what, they work well. I've had some nice bass hit Beetle Spins with them after trying without for awhile, so definitely helps some times, like anything though just depends on the bite lol.
Your killing it...👍👍👍👍
Awesome video
Thanks Ned!
@@RealisticFishing 👍👍😎😎
Nice hat! Yup, cold as crap. Talking funny! Haha. You sir are the pan-fish king, nice bluegill. Last cast, last cast, last cast! Wonder how the gulp minnow would do on there? Been doing good lately. Today was a multi species day. 1 stripe, 1 large-mouth, 1 walleye, 1 saugeye. Fun video sir!
Gulp minnow does well too, but them small ones peck at it and I end up with a lot of empty hook sets
I’ll have to get back into pan fishing. Haven’t caught many gills or sunnies since I was a lad.
No such thing as " this is the last one i promise" ....ask the wife. Great episode as always.
a tip for holding onto panfish, gill/crappie so they dont jump around, is to pinch the just behind the gill plate on each side but just in front of their front fins, just like how you are doing when you transfer them to your other hand, dont squeeze too hard but press firmly, what this does is presses on the air bladder and it "stuns" them and causes a natural fin reaction that makes the needles stand on end, good for pictures *wink*
I think I will just continue talking to them calmly 😁
Keep it realistic
Good numbers! Nicely done.
Thanks Nathan 👍
Cool video
Great vid Alex👍🏻 makes me want to get out there in cold and fish for sure.
Good luck!
One more for real, last cast then I’m going.. haha pretty sure that could be any fisherman’s favorite quote. Hey can’t blame ya, I’m the same way. Great video Alex, have a great weekend 👊🏻
Thanks Jeff
I've been missing out in all ur vidoes...new to catch up now!
Welcome back Erika
One more! :-) You got some pretty ones today, and I did too! Love those cold water bluegill colors! Looking forward to the Euro grubs!
I am curious about them also 👍
Sweet I'm gonna try that up here its cold up here buy might get lucky with your rig. 👍
I think you might!
Sweet sum were pretty nice size.It does seem to be a good fishn spot.✌ brother
One of my cold weather favs
Went And got some of that Omni flex 6lb test and it helped the casting.was at 10lb would hardly cast that 6lb did the trick thanks bro!
Awesome!
Yep your a real fisherman nose running hands frozen and one more cast , one more cast hahahaha I love it
You definitely experiment a lot makes a good fisherman if you're willing to experiment try different things sometimes I don't have the patience to try different things but I have gotten better I'm not changing a lure every 5 minutes giving it time to try and different areas
I like experimenting but I dont get too crazy. Its usually educated guessing 👍
You should sell that hat with "Keep it Realistic" on it...I'd buy one or two
I should?
Great video! I'm going to have to try this technique again. Its been a while 👍.
I hope it works for ya!
Dude that was an amazing video man great job congrats on the fish
You should try the red and green kind. I’ve had a lot of luck with them 💯
I should?
I’ve caught a lot of fish out of a creek with them. Those kind you have seemed to work great ✅
Nice fishing and video as always buddy, merry christmas
You are a trooper. 👍👍
I love my fishing 👍
Just awesome. Couldn't get out today. Temp was 19.
30 something here, but worth it 👍
I love these bluegill/sunfish videos. You are damn good at hooking them.
I have found that mosquito hooks with crappie nibbles have a great hookup ratio and the fish never swallow the hook. Eh. Just a tip.
Thank you for another great video!
Aren't those supposed to be snelled?
@@RealisticFishing We found some really tiny mosquito hooks at our Wal-Mart last year that we could use without having to snell tie them. They worked like a charm for bluegills of all sizes.
You sounded like my dad when he was quitting cigarettes One more, One more, Just one more, I meant now just one more . LOL
I quit smoking like 5 years ago
Pour out the the Nibbles on flat surface, and let them dry out overnight, they will become like rubber and stay on much better.
How will the hook penetrate if they are hard?
@@RealisticFishing They get hard slowly over a period of hours, so you can gauge how soft or hard you want them to be.They are more forgiving than Gulp!
The biggest fishing lie; just one more cast. We’ve all been there Alex
Its a good lie though
You need one of those fish finders you can cast. It would be interesting to see what holds the fish in that area. If I am not mistaken you have caught several other kinds of fish in the same area.
I have one but they suck in shallow water and cant usually pickup panfish
Crushed it.
Oh yeah he is the pan fish whisperer
Thanks William
Little bait theives out there lol. Awesome vid again homie. That winter grind has us all frozen but keep it up man.
The fishing must go on!
It'd be cool if you could load a few of them Crappie-Nibbles into a hinged Altoid mint can...
I figured, it'll keep you from having to unscrew & rescrew/recap.
Just pop the top & fold it/clamp-it closed.
Isnt that rig called a crapping fly? 🤣🤣🔥🔥
It could be ... 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tiny panfish will steal a Crappy Nibble every time.
So will the big ones
Sweet beanie. 👍
I hear you " Last Cast" is a relative thing... LOL
😅
I haven't noticed you using the water temp unit lately. Would of liked to know the water temp their compared to mine around my house so I can adjust my technique some
I will try to check next time. I would guess upper 40s
I'm surprised you're not going after blue cats right meow 😂
The catfishing sucks on my lake now, I think it has to do with commercial guys. They just passed some new regulations
Cold! You are hard core!
I love my fishing
I turned this vid into a drinking game. Every time you landed a fish I had to drink. You made me kill a 24oz 😂😂
Cheers!
Boy those panfish just suck the crappie nibble right off the hook. Damn bait stealers 😁
Hahaha that was an epic release haha
I wonder if one of those flys with the crappie nibble will work on the ice
I bet it will!
Think you should rename the bait Blue Gill Bites. Love catching pan fish in winter on a simple rig like that.
Bluegills do love em 👍
Have you ever tried gulp earthworms works good for me in Michigan on a floating
I have some but havent tried them yet
Great video 🤙🏽
Thanks!
That is the hardest thing about fishing. When to pack it up when your hooking them and reeling em in lol.
Its hard to leave when they are biting 🤣
Hardest thing in life lmao sometimes
Thumbs up! 👍
Thanks!
Nice video love your content 🔥🔥🎣
Thanks JC
Bluegill action all day.
Wish I those nibble when I was catching gills for catfish bait. 👍🏼
Nice hat and will you ever fly fish?
Maybe one of these days
i want to go catch some blues right now
Go for it!
👍
First! Like a champion
Were you using light line and rod?
6 lb test on a medium rod
Did I get into the drawing?
I am not sure which drawing you are talking about
@@RealisticFishing im just messin around.
i was doing similar the other day except with stupid stocked trout, pistol pete w &w/o a small berkley worm trailer. That day the smelly trailer made no difference and the fish were biting every or every other cast...in these cases i like to crush the barb, much easier to release multiple dumb,greedy fish lol......When fishing is super easy I like to do experiments to edumacate myself...like instead of having a split shot 18" up the line...slide it down to the head of the pistol pete...result in this case= no difference. Vary speeds/depths etc.... But you get the idea if you have consistent fishing it's a great opportunity to try things that are convenient but DON't work even when the fishing is on fire....that way I don't try those same things during more demanding times ;-)
I like to experiment too, but I usually dont try to get them not to bite. 😄
i thought that looked like Tennessee, was that on Old Hickory?
Yes
Hi Bro. just want to ask, did you just steady retrieve and pause? Thanks!
I let it sit for a few seconds, then drag it a foot or two and let it sit again.
My g
Whatup
What action is that rod? I have a 6'6 light action Daiwa spinning combo I use for Trout and panfish.
This is a medium
@@RealisticFishing Cool. Thanks.
One more till my hands freeze off
Funny they are named Crappie Nibble, I catch more bluegills with nibbles than crappie.
I think that is a deformity in the fish. We get that here in Australia I believe it may be caused by some kind of environmental pollutant.
People hook them through the back and use them as bait for catfish
