Hey bro Steve just hook that aerator up when you get them in the bucket .bass pro and sportsman one stop sell a small one d cell jewel that's light and quiet.it does a good job on 8 dozen.good catching! Lookie dare. I met you last year at drehr island dock we were waiting on the fog to clear.Hey don't have to catch em all save me and my gal some.i just got out of the hospital.ill look for you!
10 months later and summer is about here. Changing tactics so I'm catching up on your older episodes my friend... From the upstate, I've fished Murray all my life. I just Retired here 3 years ago and you have certainly helped me get up to speed on "my home lake"... Thanks Steve 🙏
Hey Steve I admire your fishing ability, it tough enough to catch fish regularly, but to get it on video, almost every other day. Man I got to give credit to where it’s due, your a mighty great fisherman, from one fisherman to another I love your videos man , keep up the good work.
I fished a long time ago with my ex-husband. One good thing that came out of that is a love of fishing. But life has just gotten in way and I haven't been fishing in a long time. I just went bought my fishing license. Thought I'd do like the young ones do and learn all over again how to fish. Your video got me all excited about fishing again. Thank you so much!!! This was a great video. Heck, I'm watching it again!!
Hey Steve, awesome video & some real nice slabs. Thank you for sharing. The minnow you lost at 3:30 I suspect the fish hit the minnow and swam up a little until the slack line was taken when the splitshot acted as a sudden shock, enough to dislodge the minnow from the hook. That's just a theory, but anyway, my catch ratio soared when I put my split shot right up against the knot on my hooks eyelet and only rubber bobber stops on both end of my slip cork. One definite advantage is that when the minnow is picked up at the slightest, my cork lays on its side & I recognize that as a bite & set the hook immediately.
The old fisherman loving life and catching slabs. That is exactly the same way I fish. With crappies you have to be patient. I learned that over the years and sometimes it takes a while for them to turn on. I'm a minnow fisherman also and learned that you keep them in the same water that the bait shop uses which is usually cold but not ice cold and I use my aerator and they stay alive in the summer time.
I fish slip corks a lot. Even with the right stuff it's still pretty aggravating. I tie my stopper knots with 15 or 20 lb test hi-vis mono. I kill the big bluegills down deep all year long. There's just something special about watching them corks go under.
I have fish for a lot of crappies and hybrids and Strippers. But Ole fisherman is in my top three on TH-cam. You are a legend sir. Let write your book. Title Who controls fresh water 💧 fishing 🎣
'They might bite... & they might not bite... & this cork might not work'! Love it man. Really enjoyed this Video, thanks for sharing. New aspiring TH-camr Sub from Indiana. I'm still trying to figure out how to catch Crappie consistently! This Video helps.
real good video, got me wanting to go crappie fishing...I fish murray every week,some times twice a week, from 2005 till 2014 from nov till april, we always killed the crappie. we would striper fish from daylight till about 9 am then crappie fish till about 3 pm and go back to striper fishing till dark .....I kept a fishing log of every trip, you wouldn't believe the number of crappie we caught each day. I love fishing that lake,i just dont get down there much anymore.
The bobber stops that are hard plastic are the way to go. But slip bobbers do work for crappie. I was 50/50 last time i went whole i was casting and the bobber was catching them too
Hey Steve. I am one of your followers and was wondering if you would take me crappie fishing with you . I’ve been trying to learn how to catch them. I’m about an hr away from lake Murray
Slab City!! good job OF!! thx for the video!! Hey i think if Chrysler is gona interupt ur video to advertise a $90k vehicle i think they should give u a new truck! just saying!!😊
Why don't you have Rod Holders on the Gunnels of your boat instead of putting the rods on the floor please. Oh Wow they have come on the bite I so wish I was there :):) why do you need so many fish ?? Cheers Denise- Australia
I feed a lot of people fish. Don't like rod holders they get in my way because most of the time I use only bone rod. Thanks for watching my friend from Australia.
Idk what your states laws are but I’d be dropping them off to clean and go back out one time with the grand daughter or somebody if I could even. Our possession limit is twice the daily bag limit.
@The Old Fisherman small dip net makes it super easy. I had the exact same boat and I loved it. Just sold it yesterday I bought a 195 tracker and I love it more. Great job catching I will be watching your videos!
I’m curious what you do with all of this fish you catch almost on a daily basis…surely you’re not eating that much yourself, are you? I mean I can’t justify needing all this fish in one day…
I enjoy the fishing from Lake Murray - "The Old Fisherman" is one of the best 🎣
By far the BEST crappie fishing video created on TH-cam. The OLD FISHERMAN can’t be touched👍🏾😳
Appreciate that my friend, that means a lot. Thanks for watching.
That's your opinion
What an awesome day catching fish. Those were some serious slabs! I got excited watching you reel those monsters in....awesome job!
You and me both! Thanks for watching.

I guess the award is gonna be a slab dinner!!

Them were the good old days it's a lot harder now.
We was at Monticello Thursday that water was ruff . Looks like you got on some slabs my friend. 👍
That's why I was at Lake Murray. You got to know what direction the wind is blowing to plan your day ahead of time.
I really like this video
Thanks for watching.
Hi, start showing us how you are hooking the minnows.
I have had a close up on hooking a minnow many times.
I can't wait til I find the "mother load"😁
One day it will happen.
Man nice job brother good clean fish where u live I'm on my way im hungry lol. Had good time great content . Till the next one keep killing it.
Primo
Thanks for watching my friend.
A bad day of fishing beats any good day at work
That is true, thanks for watching.
@@theoldfisherman2040 I'd rather be on the water or shoreline fishing
.
that is some fun fishing
It sure is, thanks for watching my friend.
Nice Video, I know what you mean about the minnows keeping in cold water then when they hit that warm water they die. So now I keep them at room temp.
You better, thanks for watching.
@@theoldfisherman2040Thanks, why your granson Carson doesn't go fishing with you anymore?
I used two of the smallest lead to stop the Kork.
Really, thanks for watching.
It look like your having fun what lake are you on
It's in the title, Lake Murray.
I got tickled seeing you put the smack on em. Good job thanks for sharing!

I’m still watching.Those are big big crappies
Thanks for watching.
Nice slabs
Thanks for watching.
Like how he dropped that phone and grabbed that rod😂
O yea, LOL, thanks for watching.
What a AWESOME day 👍🎣🎣👍 well done
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for being in the boat my friend.
Put a little none iodized salt in your minnow water and that will energize them and keep them for weeks and even months
Thanks for the tip.
20:33 😱😱😱
Thanks for watching my friend.
Old fisherman i always use mono line to make my slip knots!
Thanks for the tip.
The Old Fisherman is sizzlen HOT!
Like the weather.
Beautiful Crappie! Awesome Video!
Glad you enjoyed
Man you did it great job
Thanks my friend for watching.
Those should be on the cover of Crappie magazine
You got that right my friend.
You ain't no fisherman. You's a CATCHER!!!
Always., thanks for watching.
You need to purchase a minn Kota with spotlock
That's what I got. I believe nothing takes the place of boat control by me for catching fish.
Confidence and experience you have in spades.great video.
Thanks 👍
Hi Steve,, where do you get your minnows from,,, please 🥺
The Station on Dreher Island Rd.
@@theoldfisherman2040 Thanks sir!
I wish I can retire and fish like you
Do like I did, work hard and get debt-free. You got to plan ahead. Make a plan and work a plan. Thanks for watching.
@@theoldfisherman2040 thanks for the advice .. imma start now haha
Whew Lawdy,,,SLABOOS ,, Good Greif
Thanks for being in the boat my friend.
Nice crappies ! I prefer catching them on small jigs !
I do too, thanks for going fishing with The Old Fisherman.
Man those are some big speckled purple
That they are, thanks for going my friend.
Isn’t there some type of an award you should be getting for that catch?
Wish it was, LOL.
52:03 I ain’t seen ya lose one yet.
Thanks for watching.
Hey Steve. I am one of your followers and was wondering if you would take me crappie fishing with you . I’ve been trying to learn how to catch them. I’m about an hr away from lake Murray
If I took my fans and put them in the boat I would have to buy Liability Insurance.
I would love to catch crappies that big
Fun catching them that size.
God bless you to
Thanks for watching my friend.
Killing it good crappie that good eating
Thanks for watching my friend.
If we had crappies in our lake I would be fishing every day
You just gotta find them.
Slab City!! good job OF!! thx for the video!! Hey i think if Chrysler is gona interupt ur video to advertise a $90k vehicle i think they should give u a new truck! just saying!!😊
I don't get to pick the commercial, they give me longs ones and other people I know gets the short ones, that's TH-cam for you.
@@theoldfisherman2040 thats ok!! ur still the best Steve!!
How do you know when a where to drop brush🤔 #theoldfisherman
Next to deep water or in a creek channel 25 to 40 ft of water on a turn or point or side dip. That is for Summertime and Fall fishing.
Lake Murray in Oklahoma?
South Carolina
Where is Lake Murray
South Carolina.
@@theoldfisherman2040 Have you ever fished in Oklahoma? We have a Lake Murray here also.
Is this lake Murray in South Carolina or Oaklahoma?

I’m sure he’s selling them
Send all the proceeds to my fishing pole
Well said my friend.

Need to fix that spot look man ! It's supposed to hold you there.
It does not hold my boat close enough for me. I do not like spot lock for my fishing.

At times slow trolling or drifting will find the specs
That's the old way. The new way is spot um and catch um with Live scope.
Sir I know it's a pain in the butt but change your crappie minnow water get a bucket of water from the lake or floating minnow bucket my goodness
OK, pain in the butt, by the way off camera I change the water often.
@@theoldfisherman2040 yes it is pain in the butt
Well no a lot of action but a bout 6 good meal
