Hey y’all what’s your go to bait for finding those shallow spawning crappie?
I like hair jigs under a 1 1/2 cigar float. Pitch and pop
@@Eyesofthasouth yep those work great around here too. Any particular color that’s your go to?
@@CATCHAHAWG I like orange head, black body chartreuse tail & wing.
Also, Chartruese head, gold flash body, chartreuse tail and white wing. But I mostly choose colors based off water clarity and conditions. I do think pink is good in cold water, orange in early spring and Chartruese as you move towards later spring and summer tho. That’s what makes most since to me and is the story I tell myself lol. How bout you?
@@Eyesofthasouth orange head/ black and chartreuse tail is one of my favorites too 👍
Underspin
Love what you're doing, learning much from you. Thank you!
Thanks a bunch Rusty 👍 I really do appreciate you taking the time to watch.
That was a great video, with the true roadrunner...no electronics that's old school nice job thanks 4 sharing that footage James H 👍🏽
Thank you James I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment 👍
This is a good video. That’s exactly the kind of fishing I like the best.
Thank you Bob. I love that shallow water fishing as well. Can’t wait for them to get shallow again 👍
Awesome video brother. The spawn here in Missouri is just getting started. Can't wait for the spawn to get going right good. Ready to feel the thump.
Thank you sir. I love that spawn fishing. This year’s weather messed it up for me down here. I had to abandon it after 10 days straight. I hope y’all bust them. Keep me posted 👍
I fished a few bridges and felt those shad bumps today, good fishing! I watched a guy limit out with minnows on the bank while I was jig fishing in the yak last week 🤣
Yeah during the spawn it’s hard to beat those minnows. Those darn things sure have got expensive around here.
Great Video, loved listening to your 'Southern Drawl'! New Sub from Indiana. Keep on Fishin!
Thanks a bunch for watching. I really appreciate it 👍
@@CATCHAHAWG yeah man! I've just finally been 'getting into' Crappie Fishing in particular the past couple years & love the challenge of figuring them out.
I personally use the road runner jig head and any type of grub tail for shallow crappies
Hey Scott thanks for your comment. Yeah those things work great. We have been using them this last week in 20 to 25 ft as well. They really like em 👍
You finally found em' man!! I'm always afraid to cast around brush and weeds because I hate getting hung - I usually go vertical in those areas but it spooks the crappie too
Yeah I got lucky and found some shallow . I’ve been sacking them up in 22 to 25 ft but wanted to get one more shallow trip in before they’re gone. How’s it been over your way?
@@CATCHAHAWG The weather has been up & down so the fishing hasn't been great but I have been able to catch em' here and there • extremely scattered
@@ppdrawings the weather has been very inconsistent here as well. Going to be 45 in the morning 🤦♂️ not sure how tomorrow’s trip will go
@@CATCHAHAWG yeah man!!! It's gonna be 40° here in the morning... should be a good bite if you can find the crappie
@@ppdrawings I got several hundred tied up out there lol but you never know how these cold fronts will affect them. We’ll give it a good try for sure 👍
GOOD Video. I’m a big fan of the Shimano Spirex. I have (2) 1000, (3) 2500 and (20 4000.
Thank you Mark. Yeah those have been some good little reels for me as well 👍
I see your still using the old school tackle box which I think is cool. Keep stacking those slabs sir.
Yeah that was one of my pawpaws tackle boxes. It won’t be going anywhere anytime soon. Thank you for the comment 👍
Pretty nice crappie. I have been on Bob Sandlin this weekend. Tried some brushpiles. Caught more smalls than anything, but still found some females with eggs. I would have figured they would have all spawned by now. I guess I was wrong. Lol.
Yeah all the fish I’m catching out in 25 ft still have eggs too. This weather has been nuts lol They might still be spawning in June at this rate lol
Jam up video bud. I wanna get out offshore more but that’s the style of fishing I’m the most comfortable with. Enjoyed… those males have some pretty colors too
Thanks a bunch. Yeah those males really do darken up this time of year. 👍
Great video Gary. I hope they are still biting well when we are fishing with you in early May!!!
Thank you Richard. I think they will be biting good. Hopefully it will warm up before then lol
I hope it warms up by then too. It was 28 degs. here in north-central Indiana this morning. Yuck. Haha
@@richardwilson7106 I like to have froze to death this morning with a moist northeast wind and 43 degrees lol
lol "I don't think this is a crappie" 6:47 What ever gave you that ideal?
Hey Kevin thanks for the comment 👍
Great job no electronics thank you
Thank you Darlene. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment 👍
I use the same lure and if you’re by or under a bridge man it’s on I’ve had maybe 1-2 days under 15. Hands down recommend getting this lure but get white
I’ve got a few white ones somewhere. I’ll hunt them up and give them a try 👍 thank you Darius for your comment
Great video !
Thank you sir I appreciate the comment 👍
Nice 👍...been hammering giant crappie in my area.
That’s awesome 👍I’m glad to hear that. What’s been your best bait?
@@CATCHAHAWG 2-3 inch minnow baits ( Bobby Garland shad, split tails, twisters) on 1/32, 1/16 jig heads.
@@j.s.3297 are you casting them or jigging ?
@@CATCHAHAWG some casting but mostly bobbers.
@@j.s.3297 nice 👍 I love that bobber fishing. Just doesn’t last long enough around here lol
Those drum will eat just like bass when they get the chance, caught a 6 pounder on a 1/2 ounce football jig one time.
Hey Brady thanks for the comment. I know what you mean. I was fishing in a BASS Invitational on the Red River years ago and could have weighed in 50 lbs in five fish of those darn things on a crankbait lol
@@CATCHAHAWG yeah they love cranks too, also have caught quite a few Chanel cats on cranks and square bills
@@bradymeredith3528 yeah I have as well. I’ve found that channel catfish and black bass tend to live in the same areas and eat the same things. I actually had a customer catch a 5 lb bass on that stinky cheese bait lol
What trolling motor is that?
I have a minnkota ultrex 112 lb thrust. It works great. Thank you for taking the time to comment 👍
Nice work! But why do you care what you catch if you're not keeping them?
Hey Paul thank you for the comment. I guess I don’t care really all that much but normally I’m looking for crappie for my customers to catch and most don’t want to keep anything else lol
Why nobody keeps bass anymore
That’s a really good question. If I’m hungry for fish I sure would. I’ve cleaned a bunch of them over the years for customers who wanted them. Not sure where all that nonsense started lol
What state are you fishing in? Great tips!
Thank you for the comment 👍I’m located in Texas
Great Video and I like that shirt you got on. Are you selling those now?
Hey Glenn thanks for the comment. I just might sell a few. I’ve got some really nice hats as well. That’s one of them I’ve been wearing in the last few videos.
@@CATCHAHAWG I just ordered one of your hats...When you decide to sell those shirts you have on I would like one in 2 extra fat! LOL no I wear a 2XLT preferably but can wear a 2XL. Let me know. No go CATCHAHAWG! 😃
@@glennmize9057 awe man that’s awesome. Thank you so much 👍I hope you like it
Great fisherman Electronics
Thanks a bunch. I was beginning to wonder if I was going to find them lol
What lake you fish at??
Hey Nic I primarily fish on lake Fork in Texas but I do visit other lakes throughout the year. Thank you for taking the time to comment 👍
what?!? NO fish for the freezer? destined for the frying pan? ready to be filleted? nothing? what is going on here? ;)
Hey Niles thanks so much for your comment 👍No sir I’m just catching and releasin.
Worried about the Crappie teeth cutting line............. ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe you better get some lessons from Richard Gene the Fishing Machine....he often uses #2 line,and you're skeered with #6. Hahaha that's damn funniest shit I've heard. If the Cats and bass aren't cutting the line a Crappie sure as shit isn't going to....duh
Lousy vid,glad I was doing something productive while it played,time wasn't all that wasted.
I never use a loop knot anyways,at best anyone of them is only going to be around 50% of the line #. If I get snagged I like to straighten my hooks to get it free.
I’d sure take some one on one lessons from Richard if he’d be willing to give them. He’s the bomb. Thanks a bunch for sharing your thoughts. I really appreciate it 😬
No electronics on your boat, but you DO have a boat.
Hey Stevie thanks for taking the time to comment 👍yeah I’ve had some kind of a boat for the past 35 years. I was fortunate to find my little tin boat on Craigslist pretty cheap a few years back.
