Love me some big slabs to eat. I am Glad you are enjoying the video's. Glad you are here watching and commenting. I Hope to bring in some big slabs soon. There are 3 more new lakes I found. They look good for fishing also. We will see what fish are in them. Thank you and thank you for watching Bob Sims
well done. good to see another video!
Thank you
Awesome video
Thank you
Love the videos and your sharing techniques that work to catch crappie. Question those green Velcro covers that go over your books where do you get those. I could use a few of them. Hooks get caught on everything if there inside the truck. Thanks
Thank you I really appreciate that.
Thelurejacket.com . You can also get them on Amazon. The lure jacket brand is the best out of all the ones I have, there are thicker and work a lot better then the rest of them.
I love your videos you flat out catch some danm good eating fish like me I'm in Ohio besides the fact daddy always told us to be quiet and I still do but that noisy ass air bubbler doesn't scare em calm quite slick day
That's our no no noise you can hear it loud on your boat cool water styrofoam cooler little bucket to change the water quiet is better same as hunting these big bucks here or anywhere
Yes sir quite is better I agree with you thanks for the tip Glad you like the videos. I appreciate you watching.
@@FishYanker you can flat out tear em up on that beetlespin just like a old original Popeye hair jig from Tennessee tip it with a wax worm little ice bobber and toothpick wear em out
I definitely want to try to do that this winter.
We fish some down on the coast a few times every summer when the Temps are so Hot during the daytime, so we fish a few times at night just for something different, I learned the hard way Don't turn your back on ya rods if you do your flirting with disaster lol,, And I've seen a big Catfish snatch one Out the boat too, this past Monday afternoon I got snagged up and kept pulling up and discovered a Shakespeare Combo somebody else had Lost, it had been there for a while but I may Can salvage it for a grandkids Spincast rod, losing a rod these days can get expensive glad ya got it back 💦🐟🎣🤠🇺🇸
Yes sir. Things are getting pricey. I have found a couple over the years and actually caught one with a cork and minnow rig in shallow water. Also had a catfish snatch one out of my boat one time. I guess we lose a few and win a few over the years.
@@FishYanker lol yep so True,, we finally got a good rain this evening so Fishin should get better next week, we've Needed It here in Mississippi bad like Many Other States
Yes sir. We got some rain today also. We're still in a burn ban but the rain we got is appreciated.
Carpenter watched one of your videos have you ever fished peppers lake beside peppers eddy because I have cabin on peppers eddy
I think years ago one of my buddies took me up there.
I wish you would tell the water temperature every time you go fishing at least two three times in your videos in case I miss it that's very important to me
Sorry about that. I will try to remember that. It is good to know what's the fish are doing when the temps drop suddenly. Great tips to share. Thank you Raymond
Enjoyed the video. What lake were you fishing?
Thank you. The Cache river system.
Thank you for another great video... Where did you get those plastic covers you used in this video to secure your hooks etc? Looks like something I really need to prevent my poles from getting tangled.
Thank you. You can get the lure covers at thelurejacket.com
@@FishYanker Thank you for the quick reply. Stay Safe!
Yes sir. Thank you
Lost a pole once... A month later I hooked the same pole in the eye on tip of the pole ... Once in a lifetime.
Good Video... Good Fishing 🎣
Thank you I appreciate that. I have got lucky enough to retrieve a couple of poles with the cane pole lure setup I just did. It definitely works better in my opinion if you have a bigger crankbait.
And hell no am I eating a gar as many Crappie and bluegills you got to catch and eat I cut there throats certain creeks I small mouth fish in here in Ohio those gar will eat anything that moves we've got some Biggins 5 footers you all in Louisiana have em big as a car shoot em
I can't believe you got your pole back! I thought it was gone for sure!
Yes sir. I was starting to think that too. I just got lucky this time.
What extension mount are you using for your hummingbird fish finder Thanks
I ordered a flex Mount off of Amazon and the flex was not strong enough so I mounted a steel rod to the base. I will try to look up the item that I ordered and let you know. It's actually customized. You could probably order the flex mount and a all thread I just covered it with a piece of PVC and painted it.
@@FishYanker I found the mount on Amazon thanks
good deal 👍
You were very lucky to get your rod and reel back after it went into the lake . Enjoyed watching this video!
Yes sir. I had to fish for it for about 10 minutes. Was not sure if I would find it or not. I was lucky to get it back.
What kind and size rod do you use and the action of the rod
The rod is a Shakespeare micro series 5'6 light action. And the spinning real is Alba Garcia Max X10
That was a fun trip,those crappie definitely starting to turn on,just need it to get a little cooler
Yes sir some cool temperatures would help a lot. thank you Louis.
@@FishYanker sure thing buddy,happy fishing
Glad you didn’t get rained on! I was stuck in a monsoon on Barnett yesterday afternoon lol
Yikes! I don't like the big storms. I can handle a little rain but that's about it.
I don't remember you catching that many Gar in that lake last year, did you? Do Gar have a lot of bones? Great save on the rod?
Not many gar last fall, but it was cooler water temps. They should thin out about late October. I am going to do a catch clean and cook video soon and gar is in it. No bones after you clean it.
Goodness you're about to get too many irons in the fire. Lot of fun action. Enjoyed watching as usual.
Yes sir. Just had to do some testing. I think I know where they are now. Thank you Randy.
Say Yanker what size gold blade do you put on your beetle spin one of your subscribers I know you fish with the 1/16 my blaze should be in tomorrow .
I like the 1.5 and the #2 willow leaf
@@FishYanker thk u
You're welcome
Well I got the wrong one I don't have 1 that is 1.5 or 2 but well what can I say.
I would try any small gold blade. If way be the size the fish are looking for.
We deal with northern pike while crappie and yellow perch fishing up here in Michigan. There is gar but I haven’t caught one in a couple years. Like your small cooler minnow set-up. Would be good ice fishing to keep them from freezing. We use wigglers ( mayfly nymphs) and wax worms to tip baits a lot instead of minnows. Are these baits available down in your area? Also in summer leech’s are a popular bait here
The Wiggler's and wax worms are available. Do you catch crappie up there with wax worms? If so I might give that a try. Northern pike would be fun and I caught a couple walleye a few years back they are delicious. I would like to find me a good place to catch some walleyes around here. Walleye that I caught were in the little red river where I like to trout fish 46° water temps all year. I guess that is why there are walleye in that River.
Yes tip a jig in open water, on tungsten ice jig thru the ice
Nice. I may try them on a jig see what they do.
I see youve added some electronics.
I have been using Humminbird Helix 5 with down imaging but no side scan on my 14’ Alweld Jon boat.
Since its a small boat i felt this would be the best unit.
But watching videos im hearing about how important it is to have side scan.
Yesterday i went to a local Bass Pro shop and talked about a new unit with side scan.
The salesman is also a local guy who knows the places i fish very well.
He tole me he has 2 units on his bass boat, both having side scan.
But due to the water depth in the areas i fish, buying a new unit with side scan would be a waste of my money.
Needles to say i was somewhat surprised to hear that.
But fact is that there isnt many places with water deeper than 10 feet and mostly less in the areas i fish.
Also he said they wont work for shooting back under the surface weeds beds i fish.
So how are you finding the side imaging working for you?
As for rod holders, when i bought my boat i took it to a welder and had a 2” wide flat piece of aluminum welded full length of the boat on the inside of the gunnel. I then drilled 5/8” holes in that 8” apart. so i can install standard Driftmaster rod holders where ever i want and as many as i want on both sides.
See, if you had more rod holders you wouldnt have lost that pole. lol
But guess what, make sure you dont leave them in the holders while your running from place to place in rough water either.
I wont bother saying why.
I once his a stump so hard the cowling on the motor flew off and i never found it.
$300 for a used one for a 90 Yamaha.
I like side imaging so far Ernie. As far as looking for fish it's kind of hard they're like a small grain of rice but if you look for the black spots which which are the fishes shadow you can tell but I love the fact that shows me where the logs and debris are. I'll be fishing closer to the middle of the lake and see a log or brush top and that gives me a good opportunity to crappie fish that area. I actually use mine in about 5 to 10 ft of water most of the time. It does pretty good but I understand once you get in about 5 ft or less things just don't look right. I can see fish under my transducer with my sonar and down imaging under 5 ft but I'm so close them the boat kinda scares the fish off most of the time. So I'm basically look for structure and if I catch a glimpse of some fish in the area I just fish the same depth as the fish are handing out. My only regret with my hummingbird helix 7 is I wish I would have bought a bigger unit so it would be easier to see.
