      FISH not really, it’s hard fishing out here unless you know the spots. Fishermen here are very tight lipped on good fishing holes that’s how come he never says were he is fishing or he only says what river he fishes on. He is a very accomplished fisherman and makes it look easy, I’m from Texas and live in ND I do ok but not like he does.

      @@FISH-ny6sc You can find bass, bluegill, crappie very easily in MN but the level of success NDyakangler has is definitely not typical. He's a very practiced and accomplished fisherman. I can go out an catch a 20" bass but I won't be getting 5 of them in a single day like he does.

    • @jacobwitt9266
      @jacobwitt9266 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@FISH-ny6sc definitely not the case. I personally have a lake that I go to where I can either get skunked, or literally have a smallmouth on that's 16"-21" every cast for 45 minutes if I get there at just the right time of year. However, I don't consistently get that level of success. I have another lake I can go to for pike where I can nail them all day long, even get the occasional 34"+ and I slam the pike every time. Usually at least 10 from me alone each outing. But it's very different for crappie especially. I'm only aware of one maybe two lakes that have the quality he's catching if not bigger. One lake I'm aware of, the average size I catch is 9" and the larger ones top out at 13" on a typical trip. Point is: yes there are spots but you have to work for it. Fishing is a large part of being a Minnesotan so a big portion of the population fishes, making it hard to find good spots sometimes. There's always gems though.

    Those are the most beautiful crappies I have ever seen. Brings back days when I was a child and we went to lake Clark Hill/ Lake Thurmond now.
    We hid from wind in bass boat b4 daylight. Tie off under bridge and catch a school of them coming through for 15 minutes or so only. We would catch tons. It was a group / family of 20 fishermen and few boats.
    We had lines tied off on bushes for channel catfish also. Then we caught bass and bream. Soooo amazing.
    You make me miss it.!
    55 disabled, If I had your small boat and a good rod I would go back to lake.
    Lived in big city 38yrs working hard. No gear now, very expensive also.

    I'm fishing the Mississippi in the north metro. I finally found some crappie willing to bite! Found a big old downed tree in dead water adjacent to fast current. The bite was super finicky, though. Had to throw my jig/float literally in the same spot for them to bite. Half a foot to the left or right and they wouldn't touch it. I love your content. I'm a bank fisherman but you've inspired me to get into the kayak thing next year. I need a lot of elbow room when fishing and there's only so much solitude one can expect bank fishing;)
